Totals

• 18 minutes of vids + unfinished stuff (a couple of minutes of Festivid and a little over a minute of Riddick vid)
• 4,000 words of fic + 9,000 words of unposted Karin/Makor stuff
• Well, 11,200 more words of meta if you count the Fifty Shades and Twilight reaction posts, childhood cartoon kink thing and the more substantive of the responses to the questions meme
• 6 gen, 2 het, 3 slash, 3 mixed

Not a super impressive total compared to past years, especially fic-wise, but then again, this year I got a new job, moved states and changed my prescription, so let's assume those were factors. I've also been finding that my creative writing has slowed because I don't know what stories I want anymore. (And I've been writing a lot more for work, which probably scratches the itch.) I do miss it. We'll see if 2014 brings any epiphanies.


2013 brief media review

• The year of reading Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey, and seeing Star Trek: Into Darkness; the year jetpack_monkey remixed Starships!
• New-to-me TV: Defiance, White Collar, Girls, Arrested Development (meh), Orange Is the New Black, Jesse Stone TV movies, NBC's Dracula
• More seasons of familiar TV: Game of Thrones, half of True Blood, The Vampire Diaries (getting pretty bad/boring), Project Runway, Doctor Who (also meh), Archer, TOS rewatch with ignazwisdom
• Favorite movies: I watched so many I seriously have no idea; thank goodness for the movie reviews tag and Netflix record or I wouldn't even remember half of them
• Favorite performances: Improvised Shakespeare Company, Spank! the Musical, The Slutcracker
• Looking forward to: Penny Dreadful; I, Frankenstein

Happy New Year's Eve, my friends. ♥
