Betaing and Community Service Announcement

Dec 21, 2008 16:51

I wanted to start pimping the Year End Writing Meme early this year. It's a fun way to assess what writings you've completed in the fandom in 2008, and it offers readers a chance to discover new fic, or rediscover an old favourite. I'm hopeful that everyone will complete the meme - I've had to skip a lot of my regular reading this year due to work ( Read more... )

fandom stuff, writing stuff

Nos! I made a SPREADSHEET! Because I knew you would kick my ass again if I didn't do it (politely, of course) and last year was complicated and stuff because it was all over the place and compiling was annoying. But I have a SPREADSHEET! *is proud*

*C&Ps questions*

YAY! That's awesome! Because I totally WOULD have kicked your ass if you'd punked out again. \spreadsheet/

I was just starting to think about this...and how different this year was from last year, in terms of writing...\o/

That's awesome! And it makes you feel so satisfied, doesn't it? When you line things up and realize, "Wow, hey, I wrote SO MUCH this year!"

akamine_chan December 21 2008, 22:38:31 UTC

Well, since last year I was only writing for about 4 months, it would have been hard not to write more...

Heh, true, true, but don't sell yourself short. You were on fire this year!

I think, if you sit down and take a look at what you posted, the number would actually surprise you! Just try it out - it's a good exercise, even if you only do it for yourself.

I don't think my year's fic output is enough for this meme, but I love other people doing it! Specially the process ones - it's so interesting to hear how other people see their own writing.

nos4a2no9 December 22 2008, 04:45:38 UTC

Yes! I think that's why I love it so much, too. It's fascinating to get that kind of insight into people's creative processes, and I'm always interested in an author's reaction to her/his own work.

I wrote so little this year that I think doing this would just be depressing. :/ And I had so much fun doing it last year.

Awwww *hugs*

But I seem to remember you said something similar last year when I first floated the idea, and you ended up doing it anyway :-) Maybe try and give it a shot?
