Shivering with cold, Jarina sat up. She froze at the sight of a figure huddled at the foot of another tree. It wore a leather cloak with the hood up, the beaky mask at its feet, the goggles glinting in what little light there was. Lost in the woods, Jarina meets a stranger

Specifics:
Best/worst title?
Best: You and I Kaleide, Hear My Cry, Like the Wind, RE-ROLL, & grab your things, I've come to take you home
Worst: See Through, One Dance
I think a lot of the titles were uninspired this year, but those two are the least aesthetically pleasing to me.
Best/worst quote/passage?
Best:
Brighter, richer, a window opening to a world Prompto has never known, a dimension unfolding before him. He is experiencing something for which he has no name, has no language and no words and can’t describe. It isn’t just the visual phenomenon. It is the way his heart, too, is opening. As easily and as freely as a door swinging wide.
The simplest explanation, which is no real explanation, is colour.
And the colour is blue.
And the world is breaking apart, fracturing and wheeling and turning in a glorious, shining ballet. Yet Prince Noctis’s face somehow remains the same, an anchor and a harbour and a refuge. There are new colours in his face and colours in his hair and colour dancing around him which he’ll only later know how to name, peach and pink and black and grey and blue, more blue; pure, vast blue of sky.
(You and I Kaleide)
Why?: Writing the descriptions of the magical kaleidoscope moment in this fic gave me the opportunity to be very creative and artsy. Honestly, I probably could've pushed it even further than I did. But I think this is the fic with the most unique visuals this year.
Best/worst first line?
Best: Caleb knows he’s smart, but he would need a major in psychology with double minors in tiefling and carnie to figure out why Mollymauk pays him as much attention as he does. (Why Do You Like Me?) Why?: Most of my first lines are pretty serviceable. This one is actually clever.
Worst: “H-hello?” (The Wanderer) Why?: Conveying emotion through adding a letter to indicate a stutter is a bit of a cop out. The runner up to this is "“We need a miracle,” Ignis muttered." (See Through) because I feel like that's a cliché thing to say.
Best/worst last line?
Best: Cradled by the arms of his living friend, who time had returned to him, he finally fell asleep. (RE-ROLL) Why?: None of the last lines from this year really stood out to me, but this one is definitely the most interesting.
Worst: Then they dashed out of the alleyway and back into the fray. (The Spark And The Storm) Why?: My last lines tend to have at least some emotion in them. This line doesn't really have any. It's pretty weak.
General questions:
Looking back, did you write more fics than you thought you would this year, less than you thought, or about what you predicted?
I wrote way more than I expected. I would never just expect to write 150K, aha. I especially didn't expect to write one fic a day for a week (which is what I did for No. 6 week), nor did I expect to write a novel-length longfic, which is what Long Shadows turned out to be.
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted last year?
Last year I didn't know I'd get into the Witcher games or the Mighty Nein in 2023. I already had a vague interest in the Gerlion/Geraskier ship, but I didn't know I was going to start actually engaging in the fandom beyond having read one novel. And I've always had a vague awareness of Critical Role thanks to my other mutuals, but never had the intent to get into the fandom myself. That one happened, I think, because I got a chance to play my first game of DND this summer, and got interested in other DND stuff in consequence.
What’s your favorite story this year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you the happiest.
As always, it's a bit of a toss-up, but I think Long Shadows fucking rocks. I can't wait to share it with everyone. The Bridge, You and I Kaleide, and RE-ROLL are all really good too.
Okay, NOW your most popular story.
You and I Kaleide is my most popular by hits. The Bridge is my most popular by kudos. (Both in the FFXV fandom.)
Story most underappreciated by the universe?
It's kinda sucky to roll up to the Critical Role fandom like five years too late, especially with such an investment in Widomauk. The CritRole fandom also doesn't seem to comment much, and never really seems to have done so, which is a shame. But I feel like people do like my stories, even if they're not very vocal about it. ;3;
Story that could have been better?
All of my No. 6 week fics were made via writing sprint, so they're not necessarily the best thought out stories I've ever written. I think they're pretty good for what they are, though.
Sexiest story?
Long Shadows /eyes emoji
You can look forward to TWO sexy scenes in that one~
Saddest story?
The Bridge and Sleeping Bastard have some sad moments. RE-ROLL is kinda about a twenty three hour long panic attack, lol. And Long Shadows has a VERY angsty opening, woof.
Most fun?
Welcome To The Polycule has the most banter and silly lines in it. It's kinda unavoidable with Homestuck fics, because that's just how the characters talk.
Story with single sweetest moment?
Probably You and I Kaleide, which is just romance all the way down. But you could also make an argument for one of the fics in my Witcher 1 series. (My Only, A Ring For Dandelion, & To Last Your Whole Life Long)
Hardest story to write?
RE-ROLL, You and I Kaleide, and Long Shadows had the greatest effort put into them. I took copious notes on episodes 26 and 27 of the Mighty Nein campaign in order to be able to write RE-ROLL. You and I Kaleide has a pretty complicated structure that it took me a few tries to get right. And Long Shadows is a longfic, so of course it took more planning than just a one-shot. I've already written an author's note explaining my process for it, which will be released when the fic is fully posted.
Easiest/most fun story to write?
The writing sprints for No. 6 week were all pretty easy. Come up with an idea in five to ten minutes, then write for half an hour. Maybe a few minutes more or a second sprint. Done.
Did any stories shift your perceptions of the characters?
I wrote Why Do You Like Me specifically to explore why Molly would like Caleb. I can see why Caleb would like Molly. Molly's great. But early-campaign Caleb is, well. An anti-social asshole with purposefully poor hygiene who gets reprimanded multiple times for being dishonest and selfish. Yet, there must be something special about him that's obvious to the people around him and not just to the audience, otherwise this ship wouldn't be as popular as it is. The question I had was what, and this fic helped me explore that.
Most overdue story?
See Through was based on an idea I had in like 2018. You and I Kaleide was also a prompt I had sitting around for a while. This is why I hoard all of my good story ideas - I never know when I might bust one out to write it for some gift exchange - or just because!
I also have been saying for many years that I ship KatNepDaveJade, but I never put my money where my mouth is before to actually write the ship.
Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?
Lots, actually. You and I Kaleide had a very complicated structure. RE-ROLL used real dice rolls to direct the plot. And Long Shadows starts off with just a huge chunk of unapologetic angst, which is so not my normal wheelhouse. Then there were the writing sprints I just posted. Then The Bridge and Window Of The Soul have premises that are a little risqué, as they deal with themes of suicide and burgeoning sexuality. So yeah, I had a lot of fun flexing my creative muscles this year.
What are your fic writing goals for next year?
EDIT AND POST LONG SHADOWS!!!
Work on one of my currently unfinished fics (Perchance to Wake, OFF-Script, or Fateswap Beyond)
*
That’s all, folks! If anyone else wants to do this wrap up like it’s a meme and tag me, go right ahead. Happy New Year!

Scrapbook 2023 | Pt II
For anyone that’s new to this, this is how I keep track of all of the things that I enjoy and/or create throughout the year. I have literally been doing this since I had a livejournal.
It’s a nice little snippet of my life and helps to organize my brain.
A reminder:
Normal font - Indifferent/Neutral Italicized font - Enjoyed bold font - Loved with an asterisk* - All time favorite (bracketed titles) - Re-watches/Re-reads strikethough - Disliked
Goals are: read 65 books, finish 4 video games, write more than 20 fics or something larger than 20k, and expand on your original novel outline to the point that you START WRITING.

my favorite video this year (of my own) okay, first of all, who knew i vidded so much this year lol. secondly... i have no idea. i love all of the seblaine ones i did with manipping but i think that's literally all of them? so. idk, maybe familiar because it's something that i don't normally do and took a bit of effort. and in the same vein, probably a color i have searched for since because i don't normally do vids quite like that either.
my least favorite i guess maybe i think he knows just because i think it kind of lacks... narrative cohesion to an extent lol. but tbh nothing really.
most fun video to make probably all of the seblaine ones because i really enjoy the manipping of it all. maybe now that we don't talk in particular because that one i pretty much just knew where everything was supposed to go and it was like yes!!! when everything fell into place.
hardest video to make i'm sure it has to be familiar. i've never really done (or finished) split screen videos like that and i had to go back and actually look up the parallels and stuff to do. so it was probably the one that required the most effort. ergo, hardest.
video with single sexiest moment it's gotta be seeing you tonight, lol. like, that's the entire point of the vid, basically.
biggest vid fail i'm going to take this as audience reaction and i guess i would say... suburban legends but specifically within the context of comparing it to you're my lost cause if only because i thought the latter would do worse? like, it's kind of bonkers concept what with blaine being in love with a dragon and sebastian being the shapeshifting dragon in question and suburban legends is a way more normal concept, so i thought it'd do better in comparison.
the things i've learnt this year i was going to say idk, but i think doing vids like familiar and a color i have searched for since definitely... pushed me to do something different and get slightly more familiar and at ease with it. maybe. that's learning something, right.

This is embarrassing but I got my dates wrong. There will be a Witcher Whump Week in 2024, and prompts will be revealed in November 2023!
Why no Witcher Whump Week in 2023? I will be running a year long event centered around the festivals of the wheel of the year, Witcher Wheel of the Year. Doing both would be too much. I apologise if you have been looking forward to whump week, but you are very welcome to write whumpy fics for the Wheel of the Year event, it will be darkfic friendly and open to all ships, canons and genres!

WandaVision, Loki and Witcher Top 2021's List of Most Pirated Shows | CBR
Wandavision and Loki are among the most pirated shows of 2021, with only Netflix's The Witcher breaking Marvel's dominance.
Disney+ series Wandavision and Loki, along with a handful of other shows set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, were recently named among the most pirated shows of 2021.
The most downloaded show in 2021 was the Disney+ show Wandavision, which ran for nine episodes at the beginning of the year, according to Torrent Freak. It narrowly beat the Tom Hiddleston-led Loki, which landed in second place. Meanwhile, fellow MCU shows The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Hawkeye nabbed the fourth and fifth spots, respectively. Only the success of Netflix's The Witcher at number three prevented the top five from being an all Marvel Studios and Disney+ affair.
In addition to being the most pirated show of the year, with each episode being downloaded millions of times, Wandavision's success on Disney+ resulted in the announcement of a spinoff series centered on Kathryn Hahn's Agatha Harkness. Little is known about the series, besides the fact that it will be called Agatha: House of Harkness. In fact, Hahn revealed in late November, "I mean I didn't even know the title of the show until it was released to the public, they keep it so tight."
Similarly, it was announced earlier this year that the story of the God of Mischief Loki will continue in the second season of Loki. While Marvel Studios President confirmed development on Season 2 is underway, he also suggested the new season of Loki likely won't hit Disney+ until 2022 or 2023. "The hope is that much of the same team will return," he said at the time. "Kate [Herron, who served as director for Season 1] is going on to bigger and better things, so the director search will begin shortly."
Other shows that landed in the top 10 included Marvel's What If…?, Foundation, Rick and Morty, Arcane, and The Wheel of Time. It's worth pointing out, however, that BitTorrent’s rankings were based on single episode downloads. This means that downloads of entire seasons are underrepresented and series released online all at once are also disadvantaged. With those considerations in mind, Netflix's Casa de Papel could have replaced Hawkeye in the fifth spot and Squid Game would have made it into the top 10 as well.

A Witcher Wheel of the Year 2023
A Witcher Wheel of the Year will be a series of events all through the year 2023.
There will be prompts based on every festival of the Wheel of the Year, and you are invited to create fics or art of whatever strikes your fancy for those. Prompts will be smutty and non-smutty, you can pick one or several. If you feel like creating something not based on the prompts, go ahead! We only ask that there is some connection to the festival, however you choose to interpret it.
All themes and genres are welcome, from G to E and from fluff to whump. This is a kink and darkfic friendly event, as long as you tag/warn accordingly.
No upper or lower word count limit for writers
All canons are welcome - games, TV shows, books
All ships are welcome, as are gen fics
Please be kind to each other - no bashing or kinkshaming ect.
On the date of each festival, there will be an event where you can share your work. Tag with #witcherwheeloftheyear so people can find it! Follow us on @witcherwheeloftheyear and @ us when you post so we can reblog!
Prompts will be revealed throughout the year, around three months ahead so you have time to create.
There is an AO3 collection here and a canonical tag: A Witcher Wheel of the Year Challenge

Chapters: 9/9 Fandom: The Witcher (TV), Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Jaskier | Dandelion/Yennefer z Vengerbergu | Yennefer of Vengerberg Additional tags: Canon Divergence, Whump, Kidnapping, Major Character Injury, Hurt/Comfort, Protectiveness, Mutual Pining, you'll have to go through me, minor Blood Origin spoilers, Sickfic, Captivity, creepy captor, Jaskier Whump, Yennefer of Vengerberg Whump, Caretaker Jaskier, Hurt Yennefer of Vengerberg, Hurt Jaskier, Yennefer Loves Jaskier, Jaskier Loves Yennefer, POV Jaskier, POV Yennefer, Protective Yennefer, Brave Jaskier, Friends to Lovers, Doctor Jaskier, Slow Burn, You look pale, Comfort Food, Bedside Vigils Summary: Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri learn that Jaskier has gone missing under suspicious circumstances. Circumstances that hint at a kidnapping. Yennefer leaves Geralt with Ciri and goes to save the bard. But not all goes as planned. The hero becomes the damsel in distress and Jaskier has to save the day. Post-season 2.
They stay for several more days. And, surprisingly enough, it does not become boring at all. Jaskier spoils Yennefer with more of his delicious rice pudding every morning, and, later in the day, with vegetable soups and fish stews, and once with an onion soup. She had to laugh so hard at the sight of the onion rings swimming in the soup, tears came to her eyes from the resulting pain in her side. No, laughing like this is not a good idea, not yet. So, Jaskier has not made his special onion soup again, although it is so good it is almost legendary, at least according to the bard. Considerate as he is, he also refrains from joking around too much, but resorts to telling Yennefer all kinds of adventure stories instead. Her favourite, of course, is the one of the Seven. She has never heard of it before, not even at Aretuza. Nobody ever mentioned how the Conjunction of the Spheres happened and she always assumed it was just bad luck on a cosmic scale, a totally fucked up fluke of fate. Instead this most decisive event for the continent and elvenkind appears to be intricately connected to the monoliths. And those, in turn, to Ciri. If the story is true - and Jaskier is convinced it is and that he did not dream it all up - this is a revelation. She will have to ponder on it - a lot. And do more research, yes, definitely, a lot more research. Speak to Geralt and Istredd, too. But not just yet. The mystery of the monoliths has waited for more than a thousand years. It can wait for another day or two. However, there is one more mystery waiting to be solved, one that is lying right next to her, longish brown hair falling into his cornflower blue eyes while he is holding her hand and talking a mile a minute about ... Darn, having been deeply absorbed in her own thoughts, she does not even know what he is talking about. Something about dandelions? Why is Jaskier talking about dandelions?
"Jaskier," she interrupts his flow of words, "Is it true? Are you a spy? For Redanian Intelligence? I simply refuse to believe this."
"I know," he rolls his eyes in his typical Jaskier way, obviously not offended by her sudden change of topic. "Sounds like the worst idea ever. I can hardly believe it myself. The things that happen to you ..." He shakes his head, an expression of bewilderment plastered on his face. "And no, Yen, I wasn't even drunk when I said yes."
"You were sober when you agreed to become a spy for Dijkstra? Have you totally lost your marbles? I know you are a bloody moron sometimes, but this? This is ridiculous! Fuck, Jask, why would you even do it?"

The rain never stops, and while they make their way up through the hills, small rivulets run past them and springs start flooding the path. By midday, Ciri trudges after Roach with heavy feet, her head down, water dripping from her cloak. Geralt and Ciri have a miserable day on their way to Kaer Morhen, and Geralt needs to cheer Ciri up

No Promises by thedreamlessnights
"It’s painful.” You’ve had enough of him dancing around the subject.
His brows pinch. “It’s an aphrodisiac,” he says gently. “Pretty powerful one.”
Aphrodisiac. It takes you a moment to place the word. Then you do.

Fires at Dawn by Hyrulehearts1123, Sageclover61
In the far-reaches of Voltehre's fogged-glass memories, there was a half-remembered picture of something like a ritual, and he knew that this was the dawn that it was supposed to be performed. Each piece of paper had a word or phrase scribbled on it; small hopes, dreams, and wishes for the future. Not just for himself, but for those who had taken him in so readily, and those who had been so important in his memories. But the most important of his wishes, though those who had taken him in could never seem to understand, was his wish to be reunited with his other half.

Belletyne by Molanna
Yennefer has a beautiful May Night with her lover. Who the lover is? I had one specific Witcher character in mind when I wrote the fic, but you might fancy a different pairing. So, feel free to decide yourself whoever works best for you, Yennefer/Geralt, Yennefer/Jaskier, Yennefer/Istredd, Yennefer/Cahir, Yennefer/crossover character, Yennefer/You, … loads of possibilities

In the Shadows by bookscorpion
"I was just thinking about the day you came back to Corvo. And how glad I am that you stayed." Smiling at Regis, Geralt let his mug touch the one Regis was holding, in lieu of the kiss he couldn't share with him here. He would make up for it later. Geralt and Regis share an evening of celebrations on Beltane, and make their own entertainment

"Ciri, what are you doing?"
"I have a surprise for you. Hold still, Nilfgaardian," she says with a smirk. "Don't fret, I won't kill you."
"You know, I'm not a—"
Before he can say it, she kisses him on the mouth. Long and deep. While she ties the knot on the blindfold.
"Do you trust me, Cahir?"
"Yes," he answers, still a little out of breath from the kiss.
"Then take my hand. We're going on a little journey. Just the two of us."
Cahir cannot see it because of the blindfold covering his eyes but he is sure that right now, she is smiling at him mischievously. What the hell is Ciri up to?
