It's the day Rebecca's been waiting for!
Two years ago today, Rebecca published the first chapter of her first fanfiction. I know some people post fanfiction stats at the new year (like my friend alidiabin did here) but I prefer to do it on my ficaversary. So far, I've still stuck to my pattern of one story for NCIS, then two for different fandoms, but I'll probably abandon that in Year 3. Don't get me wrong, I still ♥ NCIS as much as ever, but I just don't have an endless number of story ideas for it. (I'm still slowly spending this summer posting episode reviews for Season 8. Maybe I'll find more plot-bunnies that way.) My muse really wants to write for more fandoms.
Year 2: 15 stories, 36 chapters/shots, 242 reviews, 6 fandoms. 10 of my stories are for NCIS, and 5 are for other fandoms. Of my NCIS stories, 6 are tagged to specific episodes. The first story I wrote during Year 2 was Hiding Place, and the last was Know How It Feels. The longest story I wrote during Year 2 was Defensive Wounds at 15,260 words; the shortest was A Girl with a Watering Can at 843 words. My most-reviewed multi-chapter story for Year 2 was Defensive Wounds at 88 reviews. My most-reviewed one-shot was Daffodil at 14.
I wrote fewer -- six less -- but longer stories in Year 2 than in Year 1. (I only wrote one story a month for most of the year, except for a few months when my muse started working double-time.) My average story length jumped up by about 600 words. I also went a little crazy compiling more stats!
Overall stats: 36 stories, 73 chapters/shots, 613 reviews, 13 fandoms, average ~3100 words per story. My longest story overall is Defensive Wounds at 15,260 words, and my shortest is A Day's Work at 605 words. My most-reviewed multi-chapter story overall is Defensive Wounds at 88, and my most-reviewed one-shot is Silver and Gold at 25. My NCIS stories have an average 21 reviews apiece. My non-NCIS stories have an average of 4.

Last year's ficaversary is here. On Sara's art calendar, I'm looking at Meule de foin, matin, Eragny, an 1899 oil painting by Camille Pissarro.
P.S. On a more serious note, today is also the anniversary of something else. It was just about a year ago (2011's 4th of July weekend) that Grandma moved out of her old house. I remember how depressed I was over that, and it was hard because Grandma's old house WAS my childhood, but damn, I really wish I could go back in time and tell myself to stop moping and start being grateful that Grandma is still alive! What is it they say about hindsight?
