#3 and #25 for the “end of the year” asks?

Thanks!

3. favorite line/scene you wrote this year

Ohhh...this is difficult to pick. One of my very favorite scenes (I'm not sure if I have one favorite tbh) is the first part of Chapter 8 of Collateral, and one of my favorite lines is actually from the chapter right before it

She lifted the lid and saw a helmet, a blur of motion. The boot that cracked her cheekbone was the color of sand.

But I also really like this from Brief Shadow:

“You sure you’re adopted?” he asks when she finishes telling him about her father’s cunning strategizing and his undying love for his family, about her mother’s quick wit and stubborn kindness. “They sound just like you.”

25. a fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read

Another difficult one, and I feel like I should probably make an entire post dedicated to recs, but here are a very large handful that I either reread a few times or kept thinking about, in no particular order (and I do usually bookmark stuff I recommend on AO3 fwiw):

1) favorite fic you wrote this year

5) most popular fic this year

hits wise it'd be baby pardon my french (but only bc it's still incomplete 😔) new writing this year (last year/yesterday) would be let me count the ways (there are thousands)

11) fandom you enjoyed writing for the most this year

okay this year i like reverted back to my elementary school girl self that thought the two screaming chipmunks should kiss and since it looked like they weren't going to, i did it myself and have now written 3 alvin and the chipmunks fanfics. and while naruhina will always be my home, it was really fun trying out new character dynamics.

24) favorite fic you read this year

how could i choose just one?!? okay i'll try to narrow it down... Weird Hinata by @nightowl27-writer A New Dawn by madglow Things that Moan in the Night by @wickermayne and of course wildehopps mentions: Cause I've Been Thinking, You Know What They Say About Foxes (They'll Break Your Heart)

1, 9, 24, 25?

fanfic end of the year asks

Hey there! Thank you for the ask(s) 💙

1. favorite fic you wrote this year

That is a difficult question. I'm going to go with the one I am proudest of because it took me so fucking long to finish it because the hell that is writing werewolf cunnilingus had just stumped my brain for so goddamn long. It's Blame It On The Moon - I have worked on this since Werewolf By Night came out last year and has become my biggest fic as of today. So I am kinda proud of that.

9. longest wip of the year

Since I finished the WIPs I had written most for during my little pre-holidays vacation that award goes to my still not definitively named Robbie Paulson multichapter D/s fanfic with service sub!Robbie getting together with Dom for hire!reader from a phone sex line. The Robbie fic I offered you sneak peek rights to too, if you remember 😉

24. favorite fic you read this year

HOW COULD I PICK ONE?! I refuse to pick just one!

For example we have @reallyrallyauthor's wonderful Anselm/Birdie saga which has gripped my heart and loins Then we have @youvebeenlivingfictional's continued masterpiece Bateman Begins which if you haven't read it yet is a Nathan Bateman Batman AU that will fucking rip your heart out and you will love it goddammit! It's just so good I keep re-reading it and I eat up every new chapter like a rabid dog I swear. Of course I can't go without mentioning everything @my-secret-shame-but-fanfiction has put out this year (or ever). One special mention here to their Miguel fic Infected which I was lucky enough to read a bit of before it was finished and posted and it has haunted my brain since then 🥰 And there are so many more I can't remember on the top of my head because I have the worst memory 😞

25. a fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read

All of the above! And if you write? Read your own fics! Especially the ones you don't remember writing. There is some good shit there I swear! It's like somebody wrote exactly the stuff you're personally into. It's wild 😂

[annabtg]

Hey, darling! Number 26 and 28? Thankss

Hey love! 😘

26 is here!

28. longest fic you read this year

Plot twist! The longest fic I read this year isn't Jily!!

It's a L&C fic, Federal Disaster by my friend lovetvfan aka Canadian Sara xD which I also volunteered to proofread for submission to the fandom Archive. All 106k words of it!

Jily-wise (and without proofreading), the winner is Call It What You Want by @wearingaberetinparis, at almost 81k.

I would also like to give an honourable mention to Head Over Handlebars For You by @practicecourts, which is a whopping 137k but I've been following since the first chapters were published in 2022, so I didn't read it in its entirety this year!

Fanfic end of the year asks here!

End of Year Ask Game

#3 and #21 ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Nonny!

#3 favourite line/scene you wrote this year

Hmm, it's probably from Mrs Bridgerton Again when Benedict and reader broke the news to their daughter that they were back together. I liked how that scene played out in my head, and I was glad I was able to get it onto the page in the way I envisioned it. My favourite line in it, which I think sums up the Mrs Brigerton series tbh, is the following:

“Do you love Mummy, Daddy?” Emilia cuts in, breaking the hypnotic trance, looking at him expectantly.

“I never stopped,” he confesses truthfully, the hand on your knee feeling weightier somehow, the lump in your chest appearing again, but this time it’s the furthest thing from anxiety. “We just lost our way for a little while, that’s all,” he says as much for you as your daughter. “Everything is working out as it always should have,” he ends, his tone wavering with emotion.

#21 most memorable comment/review

Wow, honestly, this is tough. I am so very lucky to get wonderful feedback and comments. @broooookiecrisp and @eleanor-bradstreet give epic feedback to their requested fics so definitely theirs. One time someone was so annoyed at me that they said fuck you and thank you for writing this, that made me laugh. The most memorable from this year might have been on (Be)Longing where someone reblogged it and said they loved it even though they had never even seen Bridgerton. That was special when someone who hasn't even seen the source material can enjoy the story.

Thanks for your ask 😁🧡🧡

3, 13, 14 for the fic asks 🖤✨

3. favorite line/scene you wrote this year:

i delayed responding to this ask because i had no idea what my answer was to this question. my favorite scene I wrote this year involved my FMC squirting on the MMC's face while he was eating her out and he got off on it. here's the link to the chapter, but here's a snippet: (NSFW)

I hear his clothes landing somewhere as I straighten. Hands back at the hem of my shirt, I lift it over my head while toeing at the heels of my shoes to kick them off. I fling the shirt somewhere on the floor and quickly roll my leggings to the floor, kicking them off as well. I think I’m wearing one of the matching lacey sets today.

“Oh, fuck,” he whines when I’m upright, my hands going around to undo my bra. Before I can he shoves me back onto the bed, where I land with a heavy bounce. “That’s good enough.”

 His hands slide along my thighs, rounding my knees and pushing them open. I lean back on my elbows and try to imagine his face as he hums in approval. His thumb runs down the very damp crotch of my undies.

 “You’re wet, aren’t you?” he says, and I nod. “Show me.”

Shifting onto one elbow, I let my fingers glide down to my pussy, rubbing myself over the material. My fingers find the lacey edge of the panties, slipping beneath it without exposing myself. God, I’m soaked. The slick wet sounds reach my ears as I move my arousal around, circling my clit. My teeth sink into my lip and my eyes close as the pleasure spreads.

“Look at you,” he breaths, his words slow. “Such a tease.”

In addition to my own noises, I can hear his hand pumping his cock, and I marvel at the rush of confidence I feel.

Maybe it’s because I can’t see myself. Maybe it’s because I can only picture what he sees – some glorified, sensual version of myself that’s a stranger to me.

I can’t see him, but I think I enjoy being watched. My body – and what I was doing to it – a magnet for his eyes. All of my flaws don’t exist, because to him they were never flaws in the first place.

13. favorite writing song/artist/album this year:

these are all in my top 5 because i had them on repeat to write

14. a fic you didn't expect to write:

i totally did not predict that i would write Buried . super glad I did though.

Thank you for sending this 💕

[rotschopf-thedrow]

4, 15, 23, and 27 from the fanfic end of the year asks <3

Thanks for the ask <3

04 Total number of words you wrote this year

Around 100K, including unposted WIPs and scenes I discarded 😊

15 Something you learned this year

Tagging your fics is almost as important now as writing a summary. I left fandoms over a decade ago when it was still, like, language, explicit sex, slash, voyeurism and so on. I don’t think I ever saw a story rated E (NC-17 back then) that centred around a male gay couple tagged with anal play or blowjobs or fingering. But yeah, that is something I had to learn. Abuse the tags 😊

23 Fics you wanted to write but didn’t

Not really. I have quite a few ideas that won’t get written because I don’t have the time. There is this one idea, though, that I probably won’t ever write because I lack the knowledge and the skill, which is about a Shepard who was born with CAIS. Does that count?

27 Favourite fanfic author of the year Gah, I can’t pick one specifically. I have some I come back to a lot. @cr-noble-writes, @swaps55, @mallaidhsomo, but there are also a lot of authors where I only read one or two one-shots like @commander-krios and @dandenbo which were fantastic. So yeah. I can’t pick one lol.

The asks come from this list.

Ask away!

[unseenacademic]

@claudiajcregg Thank you sooo much, Elena! 💜💜💜💜I somehow managed to delete your ask, because it's me 🙈🙈 can't find it anywhere now 😅 sooo, anyway...

4. total number of words you wrote this year

I've got over 35,000 words, spread across several documents, including published fics and WIPs, various drafts and completed scenes, but not including the drafts and scenes handwritten in a notebook. I do like to outline or full-out write my fics in a notebook.

19. any new fics to start next year

Aaaaa, so manyyy! Wow! Okay, so I want to write a series of one-shots depicting scenes from Bartlet history (college, Kennedy-style wedding, or that time Jed accidentally ran over their next-door neigbors). There's another short, winter/holiday fic that I just might end up finishing before the New Years and a 5+1 things fic I've talked about on discord. (I have no self-control). I've also been working on my "What Was Abbey Bartlet Doing" fic which is basically a collection of standalone post-eps, so I'm going to continue working on that one as well.

22. events you participated in this year

This summer, I participated in TWW Press' Wheel of Destiny Drabble Challenge and I wrote two ficlets. One is a little bit of self-indulgent fluff, the other's a post-ep which started the whole Abbeyverse fic madness. I'm finishing my fic for TBW holiday fic exchange and I'm having so much fun!

[birb-boyo]

12. 15. 20. 25 for the fic asks! :D

12. Favorite character to write about?

It’s between Time(Linked Universe) and Sky(Linked Universe) it’s mainly why I write them in duos the most. Like in Field Play, In the Midst of Struggle, and Tis a Curse.

15. Something you learned

Post it. You might not like how it turned out, but it might make someone’s day

20. Number of comments you haven’t read

I’ve read all of them. I don’t get many but when I do I go🥰🥰🥰

25. A fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read

TIMELESS FAREWELLS by Zippe on AO3

ITS SO GOOD AND IT MADE ME CRY BECAUSE😭😭😭

[walkawaytall]

Any of these for the end of year fic ask game?

3 was answered here!

1. I think Brief Shadow, though I also really like Purpose of Heritage (obvs or else I would be losing my mind even more than I already do with that thing), Far Too Violently, Far Too Long, Reconstitution, and Confirmed by Sources Close to the Subject (I just really like Leia to be incredibly sad, apparently. Ha...)

2. Either Speak Louder or Terrified Without You.

Speak Louder I actually like overall, but there is one absolutely absurd scene where Leia's dressing down some anonymous Alliance member for ignoring Han and I think it's a little too over-the-top; I thought that when I posted it, but sometimes with my one-shots, what decides when I post them is less about them being perfect and more about me being like, "I cannot keep editing this. This'll have to do." It's been good for my crushing perfectionism, tbh.

And Terrified Without You was the product of me going, "I want to write the tropiest fic that ever troped" and...uh...I think it succeeded, but I just don't love it. I love certain pieces of it, and it gave me a place to stick the "You'll speak at my funeral, won't you?" conversation that got yanked out of Purpose of Heritage for a number of reasons, but it's just not my favorite fic overall. I mean, I've still gone back and read it because I never post anything I despise or that just isn't working for me, but the question was least favorite, so...

4. I've written well over 300K, but so far I've posted 291,009

Thanks for the questions!

25, 21, 18, 5, 1

Please and thank you❤️

good morning and happy new year, nightowl!!! 💗💗💗

I've already answered questions 1 & 5 (here!) but I can answer the rest!

18) current number of wips

21) most memorable comment/review

probably Chloe on aftereffect 😂

Omg secret!!! You did it again!!

I didn't know I needed awkward MenmaHina the morning after their !!!one-night stand!!! Omg omg omg 🥺 everything was so perfect and cute and omg they're so obvious and sweet it's hurting me (in a good and addictive way haha)

for the fanfic end of year ask ... number 4 please :P

fanfic end of the year asks

Inja! That's the one mean question I didn't want so OF COURSE you picked it! 😂 You're lucky we're friends 😝

4. total number of words you wrote this year

So this was a mess to figure out and i don't have an exact number because I have posted things that I started writing in 2022 and idk how much I wrote then and how much I wrote this year. So with an estimate of how much of those fics I wrote this year and including the two fics I have still waiting to be posted (excluding the work on WIPs I have done that I have nowhere near being finished to be posted) I have written around 46k+ words. Which is a lot more than I thought this would be to be perfectly honest 😂

[maraudersftw]

27, if you don't mind!

Hello sweet Anna ❤️ I don't mind at all, thanks for sending this!

27. favorite fanfic author of the year

Most difficult question of the year award recipient right here. But I'm stunned by the sheer volume and quality of content @mppmaraudergirl @wearingaberetinparis and @missgryffin have produced this year. They've honestly kept the fandom thriving!!! 💗

[annabtg]

Hello hellooo 😁❤️

Give me 3, 19 & 21

Hi Abiiii ❤️❤️

3. favorite line/scene you wrote this year

Ooh I wrote so much stuff I loved this year!! I'm so proud of my writing!

I'm going to have to choose something from Nom De Plume! One I often go back to, and which I know you love as well, is the last scene of chapter 1, where James asks Lily out on a date and it opens with this:

Everything about Lily screamed red, passionate and intense; Lily was scarlet. ** Lily was Scarlett. It was a thought that had always floated in the depths of his mind; but now it was lodged, stuck in the forefront and he could not tear it away.

I do love both the transition and the following paragraph - and the rest of the scene too!

19. any new fics to start next year

I had a prompt for November's Jilychallenge, "stuck together by an Unbreakable Vow", that I haven't worked on. I might try to do something with it!

21. most memorable comment/review

I got so many wonderful comments this year!! From you, @athenasparrow, @joyseuphoria, @kay-elle-cee and more amazing people! I appreciate them all so much, especially the scene-by-scene reactions on NDP which I honestly re-read so many times and kept me going when I was stuck!!

I would also like to give a special shoutout to @uncertainwallflower, who about a month ago spent a whole day reading like 20 of my fics and commenting on all of them, ending with As If By Magic where she left a review starting with:

I loved this so muuuuuuch. It’s ~2:20AM right now. I haven’t been able to put this down since I starting this afternoon for longer than, say, twenty minutes. I just couldn’t stop thinking about it and had to keep reading.

🥰🥰🥰

Hey friend! I can’t believe the year is almost over! Wasn’t it Halloween just last week? 🤪

For the End of the Year Fanfic asks:

1, 7, 8, 14

Hi lovely!

OMG and I forgot to give you and your excellent giffing a shout-out on my best feedback response - how remiss of me! I will have to go back and edit! And seriously, yes, where the hell has this year gone?!?

#1 favourite fic you wrote this year

I answered HERE, and of course, I can't pick just one cos I'm wishy-washy, lol.

#7 longest completed fic you wrote this year

Definitely It Had To Be You, which clocked in at 32.3k across 10 chapters. In terms of a one-shot, it's my latest fic It's That Time of Year that was 11.3k.

#8 shortest completed fic you wrote this year

It was probably early on in Kinktober when I was trying to stick to around 100-word drabbles. As we all know, and typical of me, that went out the window after like a couple of days lolol.

#14 a fic you didn’t expect to write

Maybe Second Son tbh. I bashed it out in 2 hours while doing laundry on a day off work and it is, by miles, my most successful fic to date.

Thanks for your ask, my lovely. I can't wait to read your next stories!! 😁🧡🧡

Fanfic End of Year Asks

[r6shippingdelivery]

for the fanfic ask: 15, 18, and 28

Hi bish, fancy seeing you around! 💜

15. Something you learned this year

I learnt a lot about omegaverse for a certain fic, since prior to someone egging me with ideas for it, I had never had an interest in that trope xD

18. Current number of wips

Hmm, let's see: there's the secret santa one, the siegemas fic, the ideas for a second part of a fic I posted recently (just a bullet list for now), the bodyswap fic gathering cobwebs and shaming me every time I land my eyes on it, and the undercover operation glazkan one pending to be re-written but that I keep thinking about it. I think that's it.

28. Longest fic you read this year

Uh, I... I read a lot of Game of Thrones fic, mostly canon divergence AUs that re-work a lot of the plot of the series or books, things like that. And those tend to be fucking huge. Like double-digits thousands of words at minimum.
