#AO3wrapped2022

I spent way too long on this. Because I'm the perfect intersection of nerd who likes looking at numbers and also can't leave anything concerning graphic design alone, apparently.

But I figured that if I spent the time to make this, I might as well upload a blank version in case there's anyone else out there wishing for an AO3 summary of their year like Spotify does, lol.

If you're new to AO3, you'll be able to find a lot of these numbers if you go to your "Statistics" page. For the other ones, you can go to your "Works" page, then use the "Date Updated" filter to only allow anything updated/published within 2022. Then you can look around through the filtering to see which are your most used tags, fandoms, etc. It's up to you whether you want to stick to purely statistics or go with the answer you know is right in your heart no matter what the numbers say. Have fun!

PS - This one is more focused on writers because that tends to be where I most want to see my numbers, but I would totally be open to making a second one focused on reading if there's demand. I still tried to make it so the questions were as open as possible so that you could hopefully interpret it as writing and/or reading!

(I'm going to add an image description to each of these pictures, but if you would like to copy and paste my descriptions for your own post, I'm going to include it under the cut to make it easier.)

[Image Description: A deep red background the same color as the AO3 logo. There is a snowy ground with snow falling and white text. On the first and last images, there is a black silhouette of a tree. 

1:  ___________'s Ao3 Wrapped 2022 This year's writing motto/focus:

2:  You may have been a little obsessed with... (Your favorite fandom) Especially if it was about... (your favorite tropes/tags) with an honorable mention to...

3:  The character that was always there for you: Underneath is a box with a black frame for an image of a character.  #1 BFF Relationship:  Couple of the Year Award:  Chaos Duo Extraordinaire: (Either it's chaotic to even picture these two together, or you just love the chaos they get into around each other.)

4:  Wait, you wrote how many words??? Here's a few more numbers from the year to impress yourself with:  Hits:  Kudos:  Comment Threads:  # of Fics Written: 

5:  And the crowd goes wild!  An image of an olympic-style podium, with awards for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Your most popular fics this year (But this one will always secretly be your favorite) Underneath is an arrow pointing towards blank space on the right side of the image. 

6:  Record Breakers There are four boxes with black frames, labeled, "First Posting, Last Posting, Longest Fic, and Shortest Fic." At the bottom of each box is space for a date or word count. 

7: What a great year of writing! Here's hoping that you enjoy next year just as much! Any goals for next year?  Underneath is a black frame with blank space inside for writing.

AO3 Wrapped 2022

All my last-minute numbers came in, so it's time for my annual time of year where I'm a numbers nerd and look over all my writing stats for the year!

This year I wrote way less than last year, but that makes sense, considering this year was also a really tumultuous year with me having seizures for the first time and that led to... a lot of time sitting around in the hospital and having to relearn how to work with my own body. Honestly, I'm really proud of what I managed, even if the numbers aren't as immediately impressive as last year.

This was also the year that I carried over all my back-catalog from FFnet, which also means that I'm now sitting at 95 total published fics. Which means I'll almost certainly hit a hundred at some point this year. Still trying to figure out how to celebrate that or a fitting 100th fic to publish!

It's been a great year! Thank you for all coming along on the ride with me, and here's to another great year to come!

(Great year in regard to fic, at least. I have control over that one. I make no promises otherwise. :P)
