Thats 49 ships guaranteed for entry into the bracket.
That leaves 15 ships to be added. It’s currently Sunday, so I will leave submissions open until Tuesday, April 4th at 11:59pm EST. With the likelihood of needing more ships to qualify, a few preliminary rounds will take place using ships that only have 2 submissions each. Those will commence after submissions have closed.
The ships listed above do not need any more submissions to qualify, so send in propaganda for ships you don’t see!

It's the very last day of 2023, which means it's time for my annual look back and some number-crunching with my AO3 stats and writing over the year!
(Before I get to setting next year's goals and back to writing before midnight, of course! ;))
I posted 142 new stories to AO3 this year!
Fewer than last year but still quite a respectable number (especially given I dropped off posting every single day after October this year - I kept it up for 1,675 days straight, or 55 complete months!).
Those stories were in 33 fandoms, 14 of them new, and featured 43 ships (not counting gen relationships), 18 of them new!
I posted a total of 319,688 words to AO3 this year!
Van Helsing ✧ ~ 1 story
❧Dracula/Velkan ✧ ~ 1 story
Xena ✧ ~ 1 story
❧Xena/Gabrielle ✧ ~ 1 story
Yuri on Ice ✧ ~ 1 story
❧Otabek/Yuri ✧ ~ 1 story
~
. . .and there's my look back on 2023! I explored new things and fell (unexpectedly deeply, perhaps) into some beloved old ones, tried to curtail my impulses on driving too hard on events while still participating and having fun. . .
Of course as always I have many things in the works (a moon-cycle-related project for all of 2024, my upcoming 7th year of doing my Valentine's Spectacular, a dark and twisty longfic. . .) and I'll be back soon! Maybe even with a new story tomorrow? We'll see!
Regardless, I'll always be around on AO3 and I'm sure not going anywhere!
