#my longest has been 3 yrs and shortest 3 days or so

[shroompi]

My inner life during the past 15 years has basically existed out of replacing one hyperfixation with a new one every few months

I'm 100% stealing this from @pagegirlintraining

AO3 wrapped (writer’s edition)

I had a long year, so I didn't get to write as much as I would have liked to, but we still got a ton done.

1. How many words have you written this year? 180,453 words.

2. How many works did you publish this year? Somehow the answer is eleven.

3. What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)? Reckless Abandon. Hands down. It took so much time to plan and so much energy to write and I am so proud of it. I'm writing the ending of the first draft right now and I'm sad to leave it behind.

HOWEVER I also very much enjoyed The Last Time, which is my Nilcent fic. I think just in terms of quality, this is one of my most beautifully written fics.

4. What work of yours has the most hits? The fics I have with the most hits is Reckless Abandon, but I think that's because it's the only one from this year that had more than one chapter.

5. What work of yours got more feedback than you expected? Dress Up As ! I wrote that in like 30 minutes while half asleep and then didn't edit it, so I didn't think anyone would read it at all lol. It's not my most popular fic by any means, but more people read it than I thought would.

6. Favorite title you used? Wilhelm's Frog Addiction because it's so ridiculous. It implies that Wilhelm needs a rehab for frogs, and I think that's great.

7. If you use song lyrics, which artist’s songs did you pull from the most? I used the title of The Last Time from a Taylor Swift song, but I think that was the only one.

8. Pairing you wrote the most for this year? Wilhelm/Simon Eriksson with 9 out of 11 fics being about them or containing them in some way. (damn thats an unfortunate statistic)

9. Favorite pairing you wrote for this year? Obviously Wilmon. I feel like that's a given at this point.

10. What work was the quickest to write? Dress Up As... again, I wrote it in 30 minutes while half asleep💀

11. What work took you the longest to write? If we rule out the one that's multi-chapter for fairness sake, then the fic that took me the longest to write was probably Not Entirely Screwed (But Almost). But take that with a grain of salt.

12. How many WIPs do you have in your docs for next year? Two or three that I actually plan on finishing. I have others that are started, but I don't know if I have enough plot to actually get through them.

13. What’s your longest work of the year? Reckless Abandon, containing 123k of my 180k words this year 💀

14. What’s your shortest work of the year? A Fool Proof Guide - 507 words.

15. What WIP are you taking into next year with you? Finishing Reckless Abandon! One chapter to edit and an epilogue to finish writing, and then it's done. I just can't finish it in the two days I have left of the year 😭

16. What’s your most common “Additional Tags” tag? Simon Eriksson Loves Wilhelm, followed by Wilhelm Loves Simon Eriksson

17. Your favorite character to write this year? I simply cannot answer this. My mind has been so consumed with Reckless Abandon and the switching POVs that I literally cannot choose one.

18. What’s one pairing you want to explore next year? I think I might like to write more of Felice's platonic pairings next year. I feel like I neglect her because I don't really ship her with anyone.

19. Which work of yours have you reread the most? The Thing In The Mirror. It's kind of a love letter to my grief, so sometimes I go back and read it when I'm feeling down.

20. How many kudos in total did you get this year? 2,754

21. Which work has the most comments? Reckless Abandon, but again, it's the only one with more than one chapter so that makes sense.

22. Did you do any collaborative works this year? Not this year! Maybe next year. Dani and I don't write "together" per se, but we do bounce a lot of ideas off each other, so if that counts then yes, but nothing plotted and written and posted together.

23. Did you write any gifts this year? I did! I wrote for YR Week, which wasn't a gift, but an event. And I wrote a Christmas gift for Nic!

24. Did you receive any gifts this year? Yes yes yes! A beautiful, perfect Christmas gift from @pagegirlintraining I enjoyed every word of it.

25. What’s your most common category? M/M

26. What do you listen to while writing? Not much, actually. I have the Reckless Abandon Playlist, but I only really used that when outlining.

27. Favorite work you wrote this year? For the sake of not repeating myself, out off the ones I haven't mentioned yet, Isn't That Your Thing? and Patience Is A Virtue are my favorite little crack fics.

28. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year? Oh jesus, that's impossible. I don't think I can choose just one. I can give you one that makes me think "holy shit I can write" though:

This piece of work — the one staring Stella in the face — was a revolution made of oil paint. 

29. Biggest surprise while writing this year? I can write smut. And people don't hate it somehow.

Thank y'all for a fun year. Can't wait to see what my brain does to torture us all in the next one.

TV Tag Game!

— list 8 shows for your followers to get to know you better. tagged by @abliafina-18782 thank you my lovely!! 💕

No one judge my list. I'm a gay depressed ND british person who's really a grandma in the body of a 22 yr old.

1. Downton Abbey

This is my most rewatched show. I can quote it all in my sleep. No more needs to be said.

2. Midsomer Murders

Also heavily rewatched. If it's on on the TV, my friends do a game where they see how long it takes for me to guess what episode it is. Shortest time has been a few seconds, longest time a minute. It has over 22 seasons and I know all the episodes so well.

3. BBC Merlin

What's not to fucking love? Gay, fantasy, swords, humour... perfection. Apart from the last episode... we don't talk about the last episode.

4. Star Trek - The Original Series

This was a big part of my childhood cause my mum is a huge Trekkie, but it was also on the TV every night at 6pm during sixth form. Which became a ritual and an emotional support crutch. Didn't matter what happened during the day - tos would be on the TV at 6pm and everything would be fine.

5. BBC Miranda

I don't need to say anything else apart from: look at the gif. Of course I have an emotional connection to this show.

6. The Vicar of Dibley

Similar to the caption for Miranda... the gif speaks volumes... I also listen to this to go to sleep.

7. The Good Life

Now this is a British sit com from the 70s, based around a man and his wife who live in the posh suburbs of London. One day he decides to quit his corporate job and become self-sufficient, so he and his wife turn their garden into a farm with crops and animals and it's just carnage. They live next door to an uptight posh woman (right in the gif) who's very disapproving and her husband who is Done™ with life. I can't explain it well but it's funny and very entertaining.

8. Dance Moms

Can't believe I'm putting a reality TV show on this list but it's iconic. It's really familiar so I like rewatching random episodes and watching clips on YouTube. I just find it entertaining.
