2017 Writing Round Up

Jan 07, 2018 10:22

I've fully intended to post more this year, but that clearly hasn't worked out. Partly, it's with Ros being older, she's going to bed later and leaving me with only scraps of time at the end of the day for doing anything personal/creative/fannish. Partly, it's that a lot of what fannish time I do manage I'm spending faffing about on Tumblr.

But mostly, it seems, I've spent my time writing a truly record-breaking amount of fic.

Stumbling into a new fandom usually gets me writing a lot, but for whatever reason, Captain America and the Winter Soldier have been especially inspiring. Hmmm, I wonder why?




Ahem.

Yes, well, the end result of falling down the Stucky rabbit hole was that I wrote just slightly over 150K words of fic. Which beats the 108K that resulted when I first got into Take That.

So, here's the list of everything I've written and finished this year.


Lost and Found - Steve's Story (9289 words)
Lost and Found - Peggy's Story (14313 words)
Lost and Found - The Soldier's Story (7178 words)
Lost and Found - James' Story (6003 words)
An ongoing AU series inspired by this stunning piece of fan art. What if Steve had gone back for Bucky's body after he fell from the train?

Captain America Has a Fella (2361 words)
Captain America Is Out and Proud (5209 words)
Captain America Finds His Fella (5567 words)
Captain America Finds His Fella - missing scene (1481 words)
Captain America Finds His Happy Ending (2918 words)
Another series, this time told mostly from the POV of a USO showgirl Steve befriends when he's doing the war bonds tour, and taking them both into the modern era.

Let In the Sun (3045 words)
A gen-ish story written for the Beefy Bucky Birthday exchange. Two golden days in the long friendship of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes.

The Boiled Cabbage Strategy (2847 words)
The Cagney Tarantino Gang (1163 words)
To sequels to the first Stucky fic I ever wrote, The Altar Boy Act. The whole series is mostly an excuse to have Steve and Bucky swear a lot and mess with Tony Stark.

Brooklyn Runaways (12822 words)
My main contribution to the Cap Reverse BB. A pre-war story about what happens when Steve and Bucky aren't quite careful enough about hiding their relationship. I got to work with the wonderful artst slaughterme-barnes on this one. Her art was just beautiful.

Wuxia Avengers: Heroes' Justice (10355 words)
Another Cap Reverse BB story, this time a pinch hit for potofsoup's amazing art of the Avengers as Chinese Wuxia characters.

Gweilo Gongfu (33969 words)
My contribution to the Stucky Big Bang, featuring more art from the lovely potofsoup. A pre-war story where Bucky is Chinese American and teaches Steve about both martial arts and Chinese culture. This one is very much a work of love on my part.

1A (3204 words)
A smutty little story set just after Steve is chosen for Project Rebirth, and inspired by art from slaughterme.

Goodnight Moon and Red Balloons (5401 words)
My Yuletide story, for the Chris Evans movie, Gifted.

A Goddamn Winter Wonderland (11122 words)
A modern no powers AU written for the SteveBucky Secret Santa, and the tropey-est story I've ever written. H/C with a side of stuck in a cabin, sharing a bed and huddling for warmth.

Mrs. Wilson's Boys (12106 words)
The one non-Stucky story I wrote this year. This one is Sam/Steve/Bucky, told almost entirely through phone calls to Sam's mom.
