AO3 Wrapped 2024

I was tagged by @lilolilyr to post my AO3 stats for 2024. Thank you!! <3

Please note that all titles/words highlighted in colors are clickable!

Works published: 19 total, 13 of which were for Hacks, and six of which were for The Devil Wears Prada.

Word count: 96,568. Shame I didn't reach 100k I guess (I was SO close, too), but oh well.

Kudos: 3,427 as of Jan 6, 2025

Hits: 67,797

Bookmarks: 445

Subsciptions: 401

Most popular by kudos: Partners, at 601. Oh, hey, it's reached 600 kudos since I last checked!!! The first fic of mine to go over that threshold :')

Most hits: the joys of spring, at a whopping 18,445! The hit count is so high that it's even closing in on my second most popular Camren fic (19,463 hits). Still, it'll be a long way to go to get to the top spot, where my most popular Camren fic currently sits at 27,821 hits. At the same time, it's been less than a year for this one, and seven for the others, soooo... who knows what'll happen!

Longest: Once again, the answer is the joys of spring! the joys of spring has exactly 30,000 words in 30 chapters. (My greatest accomplishment in 2024 tbh lol.)

Shortest: Well, technically speaking, it's Exclusive at 50 words. It's not a fic, though. It's a manip, and the article I wrote to go along with it is just... an afterthought. Which is why I'm going to go with That's not very in love with me of you at 500 words.

Most comments: the joys of spring once again, which got 145 comment threads.

Favorite comment: This one from @prozac-shaped-urn, hands down.

Wow!! I never thought I'd see the day where someone would give me a run for my money in the smut department, but you absolutely have!!! I'm highly impressed! The em dashes really add a heightened level of anticipation to the scene, and I like the hyperfocus on internal senses. The imagery of galaxies behind Ava's eyes speaks to the full-body domino effect of pleasure. It's very well executed. I'm over here taking deep breaths and consciously unclenching my jaw. Ya got me hot and bothered, ngl. Ava swallows. Blood rushes to her head, and she knows without a doubt that her face is red. She’s hot, burning hot, and she can’t pay attention long enough to hear the rest of what Deborah is saying. Not shaming, then. Accusing? Is Deborah accusing her of— Ava stares ahead and licks her lips. It’s all she can do to try not to be too obvious about the absolute state of her underwear. She’s so fucking—why is this not turning her off? Why is being scolded by Deborah doing it for her? “Come.” “Huh?” The way I also had the 'Huh?' reaction to reading 'Come' skldjfalkdjsf It spreads from her core to her stomach, to her thighs. And then to her heart, and to her arms, to her legs and head and her everything. / Ava swears something bursts behind her eyes. It might be a firework. It might be a meteor. It might be an entire fucking galaxy. / The galaxy behind her eyes explodes into a wall of white while her body pulses, her stomach contracting along with those pulses. This focus on internal senses is what I wish everyone would include in their smut. But writing erotica is a skill! It takes time to learn how to meld senses together to create an immersive reading experience, and I think you've done that well. Consider me a fan! <3

I didn't reply to it for days on end when I got it, I just wanted to read it over and over again. And I'm still not over it. Like. I'm deserving of this much praise????? Me???? Ahhsbjhdsvjcjdhb!!!!!

Fics that made me cry: The one fic that had any angst in it, Shattered Remains. Writing it felt really good. I loved it. But it did also make me very emotional.

Fics that made me smile: I don't really remember anything but the one fic that literally cracked me up every single time I attempted to read or edit it. Keepin' You Hangin' On The Telephone. My fiancée and I (jokingly, at first) tried coming up with absolutely ridiculous euphemisms for the vulva and vagina and after telling @wilfriede about it, they made me keep every single one of them. Without tagging the fic as crack, or warning people about it. And, honestly? It was kind of a blast. People liked it despite the horrendous euphemisms, and we three got a huge kick out of it and laughed about it for ages lol.

Gifts: Five! That's all the gifts I've ever received! :))) I got two Hacks fics from @lilolilyr, and three podfics from @wilfriede! Two of those were my own works, which made the gifts even more exciting! Like. Their Podfic of Bitte bitte mich is literally perfect. It's exactly how I imagined it and how I would have read it myself. (And you should totally listen to it.)

Collaborations: One! My first collaboration ever, in fact! Dare Me to Tell You the Truth was written by me, recorded by @wilfriede and me, and edited by @wilfriede for Pod Together 2024! As well as my first collab, this was also my first ever podfic. For either of those, I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with, honestly. @wilfriede -- thank you for your enthusiasm, your excitement, and your patience! You're awesome! (As are all of your podfics!)

Events: As mentioned above, Pod Together 2024. My first (and only) event :)

Word count read: I didn't read much, and I also don't keep track of my read fics. Probably somewhere between 150k and 250k, if that.

Bookmarks: I've added eight this year, making it a grand total of 27.

Once again, thank you very much to @lilolilyr for tagging me :)

I'm going to go ahead now and tag @prozac-shaped-urn, @wilfriede, @nic-writes-sometimes and @nachdenklich-tj. I can't think of anyone else who's a writer!!!!! If you see this and want to post your stats, though, go right ahead!! <3

have you been watching agatha all along? im starved for agatha and rio content and ur such a good fic writer. i want them to pass me around like a blunt😇🥰

I haven't watched it but the gifs on tumblr are making me realize all over again just how gay I am jfc 🥵🥵🥵

anyway i do hope that you get some goooooood fanfic content soon!!!!

[die-schwanenkoenigin]

i didn't ask for horizon zero dawn remastered but i'll sure as fuck TAKE IT

[die-schwanenkoenigin]

my ace ass trying to write sexual attraction in fanfic: ah yes, getting wet being in the same room as someone. that sounds totally real and not fake at all.

[die-schwanenkoenigin]

i finally got my arthur to beard level 10. only took five chapters lol

[die-schwanenkoenigin]

IM SO LATE but if ur still doing the writer ask: 💥💛💌

Heyyyyy! Thank you so much! And don't worry about "being late" at all lol you're absolutely fine x

💥 What is one canon thing that you wish you could change?

Honestly, I can’t say I’d change anything. I lack the creativity and imagination for that kind of thing. Also, with the fandoms that I can remember that I’ve written for, the original content is fine as it is.

💛 What is the most impactful lesson you’ve learned about writing?

That you should really, genuinely not give a damn. It doesn’t matter what people “want to see.” You have to write what you want, whatever comes into your head, and focus on that. Otherwise it just isn’t going to work out. I still sometimes struggle eith this (a lot), but I try my best.

Also, another lesson: there’s always going to be an audience. No matter how tiny or niche the fandom is, no matter how kinky your fic is. I know you think people aren’t going to read your stuff, but people will find it, and people will read it. Trust me.

💌 Is there a favorite trope you like to write?

I absolutely love the idea of soulmates. I haven’t written many soulmate AUs myself, but I am a huge sucker for them.

Aside from that, I suppose pretty much anything I write can be considered friends to lovers? I was originally going to say I don’t really write “tropes” but… I guess I do. And, what’s more, I have a type. Lol.

OH. Another massive favorite of mine is “Oh no, I sent that message to you by accident and now you know (X)!” which goes right along with “we’re texting each other but we don’t know we’re texting each other”--though the latter has not yet been tackled by me. (Sad.)

Thank you, again, for your ask! I appreciate it. <3

[die-schwanenkoenigin]

Idk if its just a me thing but your ao3 link hasn’t been working for me the last few times i’ve tried, even when ao3 is up. just letting u know!

hey there, thanks for letting me know!

is it the one in my description up top? because i've just tried it after reading your ask, and it's working for me. 🤔

have you tried deleting your cache/cookies/whatever after ao3 was down the other day? i remember once (must have been last year during the big crash) my profile kept showing me the "not available" error for hours despite ao3 being up, and i didn't realize it lol. it only worked once i refreshed everything (and/or deleted my browser data?)

but that's really all i can think of.

unless you mean a different link, like one of my fics in a post? if so, just shoot me another anon with the specific fic/post you're on about and i'll sort it! xx

in any case, thanks so much for sending this. i appreciate the heads up.

[die-schwanenkoenigin]

ah yes the classic mother-daughter dynamic where you have sex dreams about your boss

we have sex dreams about each other, we find each other's power arousing, we turn each other on, but, really, deep down, we're mother and daughter 👉👈
