EVERYTHING I WROTE IN 2023

Can you believe that I posted 45 RPF stories this year?! I’m honestly really proud of my productivity. In 2022, I only wrote ten….

I joined (and started writing for) two new fandoms this year: Lost Society and Santa Cruz. I want to thank those communities for being so welcoming to me! 🥰 Ofc, I also continued writing often about my #1 fave, Blind Channel. 😅

I decided to compile a chronological list of everything I wrote this year:

❤️= Blind Channel RPF, 💙= Lost Society RPF, 💛= Santa Cruz RPF, 💚=Other

🖤= Angst,💖= Fluff, ❤️‍🩹= Hurt/Comfort, 🔥= NSFW
