2020 Fanfic question

✨tagged by @teaamfreewill and @moviegeek03 thank you dears!✨

How many stories did you complete?

80, but some of those are drabble series and collections. I haven’t counted the three ongoing drabble repositories for my three fandoms, the RNM S2 that’s not completed, and the RNM under-1k collection.

What is your total word count for the year?

482,573, which are more than half of what I’ve posted in all my history at Ao3.

What fandoms did you write in this year?

911 Lone Star, Roswell New Mexico, Red White and Royal Blue

Did you write more, less or roughly around what you expected you would?

Infinitely more. When the year started, I thought I would write as much as I did in 2019 (which was way less than half of what I’ve done in 2020) and then I hit a huge writer’s block with one of my fandoms. But I guess between the pandemic, having more time to write, switching fandoms... I’ve ended up writing a lot more than expected.

What’s your own favourite story of the year?

I can’t choose just one! I usually don’t like what I write. But it has to be a tie between with all the sorrow and the joy and here at the end of the road (maybe happiness is worth the chance of a bitter end) and on another broken avenue. I am aware of the fact that all three are 911 Lone Star. What can I say?  

Did you take any writing risks this year?

I tried my hand at fluff by the end of the year, as well as light smut. It had been a long time since the last time I did that, and it got surprising good numbers.

Do you have any fanfiction goals for 2021?

I wish I could finish everything I have started, but that’s almost impossible. But a girl can dream!

What is your most under-appreciated story?

That’s nothing in between (RNM) with 85 kudos. It’s evidently not my best, just a collection of drabbles, but still. It stings a bit. But I guess it comes with the territory.

Biggest fanfiction related disappointment of 2020?

I wanted to write more Malex. Sadly I couldn’t. I still can’t. I hit a huge writer’s block sometime throughout S2 (and I bet my closest friends can pinpoint the exact moment) and the wars in fandom haven’t helped my case. 

Biggest fanfiction related surprise of 2020?

911 Lone Star fandom has become a beacon of light in the darkness. In the beginning of the year - and halfway through it - I got more into it and I found out that it’s full of amazing people. It didn’t hurt that I already knew some people in it (coughStefcough) and that everyone has been so welcoming and understanding so far. It’s not just a fanfic related surprise - it’s a fandom related one!
