❥ 2019: Year in Review.

I was going to have this finished and posted at 12AM on the 1st, but life got in the way. So, yeah, it’s a little late, but hope you all are going to have a wonderful year (and decade, oh my!).

Now that 2019 is over, I kind of want to have a quick look at what’s happened for me (and, more specifically, this blog) in the last year. While I originally joined this fandom on tumblr back in Fall 2018, I kind of... disappeared for a while, I suppose, until I came back in Spring with very few updates to O Thomas Hunt, Wherefore Art Thou My Professor? over a couple of months.

Then Mid-August came. And I’ve started posting A LOT more. Haven’t stopped since. Which is good, I suppose.

In any case, I’m gonna go ahead and have a look at what went on in 2019...

1. Things that happened last year...

❥ Wherefore Art Thou My Professor?

I managed to finish O Thomas Hunt, Wherefore Art Thou My Professor? on September 24th. So, basically, 70-ish chapters in a little more than one month. Granted, very short chapters, but still.

❥ RCD Appreciation Week

This marked the beginning of me kind of, sort of, being slightly more sociable on here. Also, though I still find some people a little intimidating, it kind of made me less scared to talk to people behind fics I consider superior so that’s good. And it really was so much fun! Writing for it, seeing people’s contributions, and all that. Loved. It.

❥ 100 Followers!!!

I believe this happened in November, and I was going to make a whole post about it (with a fic giveaway and all) but I haven’t had the time for it yet. It’s coming. One day. Still, thank you all! For following, for liking, for reblogging and replying and being so lovely to me 😭

2. Writing stuff...

I was wondering how much I’ve written this year (for HWU and RCD, anyway) and... well... looks like I’ve written 157,965 words in total. Most of these between August 16th and December 29th.

Also, while I do write mostly for myself, I’m still kinda curious to see which fics were the most popular... 👀 A Top Ten list may seem excessive, but I have posted a lot of fics so... I’m doing it. You can’t stop me.

1. Some Rules Are Meant to Be Broken: Rachel Fields x Thomas Hunt (NSFW) Still surprised to see this is my top fic, but I’m not complaining. I’m always struggling with smut, no matter how much I love it, so seeing y’all like it means a lot.

2. A Holly Jolly Christ-Mess: Rachel Fields x Thomas Hunt (partly NSFW) Most popular part was the 24th, which at 5k+ words is the longest part to any fic I’ve ever written. Also longer than any of my one shots. 2nd and 3rd most popular would be the bathtub sex and the shower sex.

3. The Exception: Rachel Fields x Thomas Hunt Day 1 of RCDAW, adorableness, Halloween theme. Yeah, I guess that’s cool.

4. A Birthday Surprise: MC/Reader/”You” x Thomas Hunt (NSFW) Didn’t think someone’s birthday present would make it onto this list, but I am pretty proud of it. Probably one of my better smuts, not gonna lie.

5. Something Just Like This: Rachel Fields x Thomas Hunt (partly NSFW) Most popular is Part 3, in which Ryan and Addison meet and that ship kind of starts to sail :P

6. Nostalgia/Missing Her Mini-Series: Natalia x Thomas Hunt The most popular part is the first drabble, Nostalgia, which is just a super short 100-word-drabble.

7. O Thomas Hunt, Wherefore Art Thou My Professor?: Rachel Fields x Thomas Hunt Where everything started! My first Hunt fic. Most popular part is Chapter 71, in which Rachel tends to Hunt’s wounds after he punches someone for her.

8. Rules: Rachel Fields x Thomas Hunt (NSFW) This one took ages to complete. I abandoned it a million times before I finally went back and finished it.

9. The First Date: Rachel Fields x Thomas Hunt (partly NSFW) Not surprised to say that the smut was the most popular part of this mini-series.

10. Must Have Misunderstood: Olivia Clarke x Thomas Hunt One of the few RCD MC x Hunt fics I’ve got. Also one of my many attempts to ignore canon because I’ll always hate the way that first kiss went down in RCD2.

Also: big, big, big thank you to everyone who always likes and replies and reblogs. And everyone who’s interested enough to be on my taglist and all that. I really, really super-duper appreciate every single one of you 💕

3. What about 2020?

I’ve got a lot of plans, fanfic-wise, for the new year. Multiple series I’m working on as well as a couple requests and shit I just want to write for no reason at all. I don’t like making promises I can’t keep, so maybe don’t think of this as a ‘this is definitely coming in 2020′ type of thing. I just want to share with you what I’m currently working on, and what might be coming your way soon.

❥ multiple Thomas Hunt smut requests from this prompt list (currently: 5) ❥ Thomas Hunt x Rachel Fields: kind of moving in together mini-series ❥ another Hunt x Rachel series... ❥ Thomas Hunt x evil-ish!HWU MC series. Very long, very terrible, very NSFW. ❥ Thomas as the best man at HWU MC and Chris Winters’ wedding 😢 ❥ Sugar Daddy!Hunt series ❥ escort!MC one shot or series (to be determined...) ❥ more chapters of Wherefore Art Thou My Student ❥ Hunt x a new OC series. Closer to RCD than HWU, for once!

Don’t really know how to end this post. It’s kinda useless, too, but... uh... I didn’t just want to jump into the new year without appreciating the last one and making some plans for 2020.

Happy New Year! It’s never too late to say that, okay?
