Milestone: 100 fics on AO3
I realized only recently that I was fast approaching a pretty cool milestone: 100 fics completed and posted to AO3!
Publicly, it looks like I only have 95 works, but that's because there are quite a few things for fests, which I've already posted but aren't yet revealed. So my actual count as of this morning was 99...and just now I posted the rest of my Yuletide fics, so now it's 102. :-)
It feels appropriate that fic no. 100 (which I can't tell you about, because it's still anonymous for a fest, aaaah) is the first in a brand-new fandom for me.
I can't help thinking about how when I started on this whole wild fandom ride, I only wrote Harry Potter, and only utterly canon-compliant fics. But then I cautiously ventured into a couple of other fandoms, and then I discovered the joys of AUs and fusions, and now I seem to be writing new and obscure fandoms left and right!
It's satisfying. :-)

Meanwhile,
holmestice (one of my favorite things) is running along full throttle, but my life has been such a mess this month that I hadn't even had a chance to start reading anything, before suddenly all the works were already posted. So now I'm in a mad dash to read as many as I can, both because I feel I owe that to my fellow participants...and because I want in on the epic guessing game we play at the end, about who created what!
(I did, of course, immediately read my own gift: a lovely, heartwarming fix-it fic for My Dearly Beloved Detective: re-write the future / start from scratch.)

And I know I keep saying this, but wow, how did I not discover until now that Yuletide is the most fun? As an excited first-timer, I definitely went way overboard, writing not just my official gift, but a bunch of treats in different fandoms.
And there are THREE "Mystery Work" Yuletide gifts already waiting for me on AO3, and we haven't even reached the deadline yet, THREE YULETIDE FICS for me, how can I keep from all-caps excited screaming!
