fic in review 2022

I wasn't tagged by anyone I just wanted to do this again and I don't see it making the rounds anymore :(

anyway i'm posting this a touch early as i might write more snippets when i wake up, and it'll still be december 31st, but. oh well

Total Number of Completed Stories: total (on this ao3 account): 112. total (on this ao3 account) written in 2022: 83! wow! and that's just like works (some are compilations) and on this account (there's at least five more elsewhere). oh wait i guess this isn't. completed. it's posted. hmmmmm okay but consider i am tired

sigh okay so completed on this account total: 96. completed on this account in 2022: 68. however, this is not counting that some of the works not counted here as they're "incomplete" on ao3 are actually like, multiple oneshots in one work. i'm not going to tally them though bc some of them are kinda incomplete-ish snippets while others are just straight up full oneshots and i don't want to comb through each and decide what counts 😩

Total Word Count: total on ao3 (for this account lol) is 342,779, but in 2022 that'd be 252,803.

Fandoms Written In: The Mysterious Benedict Society, The House in the Cerulean Sea, Death by Dying, and Instinct. (On the other account, also Shadowhunters and Star Trek 2009.)

Looking back did you expect to write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d expect:

Hm... well, both, kind of. Less in the sense that I had hoped I would complete whumptober--both of them, rip--but more in the sense that HOLY FUCK 83 works. MBS has really reawakened me. (75 of them are MBS lol.)

What’s your own favorite story of the year?:

hmmm uh. off the top of my head, probably one of these:

cain's lament

a hope in hell

rust

shades of green

The Babygirl Incident™

pretty things

Did you take any writing risks this year?:

i let myself believe i'd actually finish whumptober 😔

also i dedicated more to nicholas/milligan which i am slowly but surely acclimating you all to, like boiling a frog. at this point i even daresay the frog is cooked

and "minotaur" is darker than i usually go, so i'm tentatively thinking about some darker aus (don't worry, still no tragedy for me lol)

Do you have any fanfic goals for the New Year?:

FINISH MY WHUMPTOBER PROMPTS :( and also all the ask prompts i have in my inbox

Best story of the year:

hmm. this is kind of subjective. "cain's lament" is a good fix-it, "shades of green" seemed to have had a strong positive impact, which i'm glad of. we'll get to stats in the next question, i guess, for that angle. uhhh "warm" has impressive length? surprised i finished that tbh

Most popular story of the year:

This year, the most kudos went to "technicolor" with 125, the most comments goes to "warm" with 25 comment threads, the most hits (987) and bookmarks (18) for "The Babygirl Incident™". Most subscriptions is "pretty things" at 18. (My THITCS works by far did the best, ironically.)

(These all hold the same for like. most [x] ever on this account, except for the most kudos, which goes to "paralleled", an old King Falls AM work of mine, at 139.)

Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion:

I think most of my snippets get brushed over a little since they're compiled on one work. Particularly my daemon au. Maybe also look at these: 1, 2, 3, 5, 2

Most fun story to write:

All of my crackfics probably! They're just so fun to write; very impulsive but hilarious. I'm making myself cackle, particularly with "The Gang's Past Illicit Affairs" "The Babygirl Incident™" and "kate and her bucket sitting in a tree, S-P-Y-I-N-G". Also "dear abby".

Story with the sexiest moment:

On this account? Nothing I've published. I did, however, write some very silly smut on my other account.

Sweetest story:

Okay, I've written a lot of sweet things and I don't know if I can choose one. So here's a brief list. I've taken off a few I've already mentioned to make it a little shorter.

These snippets: 9, 12, 18, 8, 9.

holy palmer's kiss

a cacophony so immense

number two; love guru

“Holy crap that’s wrong even for you!” story:

I don't know if that's the right way to put it, but. I'd say my two darkest stories were "coward" and "minotaur".

Hardest story to write:

Genuinely, I'm not sure? I'd guess either something not published or not finished, like the sequel to "petals", finishing "minotaur" and my sleep paralysis series, ch2 of "pretty things" i've really been struggling with. Of my completed works, though, I've genuinely no clue.

Biggest disappointment:

Probably still not finishing whumptober :(

Biggest surprise:

I wrote so much!!!! Oh my god!!!!! Holy fuck!!!! 88 works!!!!! and 75 of them MBS!!!!!
