anysinTime for this one again! Recycled from previous years.
Looking back, did you write more fics than you thought you would this year, less than you thought, or about what you predicted? Less, the well was dry this year.
Where did you publish/archive your stories? At AO3, Twitter, Tumblr, Neocities.
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January 2022? Dracula, Our Flag Means Death, historical RPF.
What's your own favorite story of the year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you happiest? A Feast For The Eye, my Jon/Elias at kinky sex party fic.
Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them? I wrote a fic for What We Dp In The Shadows, which is a comedy show, and I learned that I have some work to do when it comes to making my vibe working with a comedic canon's vibe.
My best story of this year: Beneath Logic and Reason, my Helsing/Seward hypnosis story for Dracula.
Okay, NOW your most popular story: Garden of Delights, my Jayce/Viktor sex pollen garden fic.
Most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion: steal your breath (your words), my Keatscest story.
Story that could have been better: If I Could Turn Back Time, I Would Not, my WWDITS Nandermo time travel story.
Most fun story: A Feast For The Eye.
Sexiest story: A Feast For The Eye, although also this anon fic that I can't mention because it's anon but let's say it fits my usual brand in a new fandom.
Story with single sweetest moment: Sunset On Your Worries, an Our Flag Means Death ficlet which was all about Ed being sweet to Stede.
"Holy crap, that's wrong, even for you" story: An anonymous story I won't mention here, but also Easy Meat, the Jared/Martin/Jon noncon threesome that went deep into the body horror.
Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: None.
Hardest story to write: The WWDITS story.
Easiest story to write: A Feast For The Eye. I just enjoyed myself so much with that one.
Most overdue story?: We'll See How Brave You Are, my last Therapy AU story. Though also the story in the series before that since it took me a long time to finish it.
Biggest surprise: Beneath Logic and Reason. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat, me writing Dracula?
Favorite Opening Line(s):
Simple but purpose-serving from The Pupil's Consort, a S5 JMart noncon fic:
Jon lets Martin run.
Favorite Closing Line(s):
From Insomniac's Vigil, an Ed/Izzy drabble for OFMD:
Blackbeard locks the door, and Izzy shivers.
Top Scenes from Anywhere You Would Choose to Have Illustrated:
* Elias removing Jon's underwear in front of other party-goers in A Feast For The Eye.
* Jayce riding Viktor in the sex pollen garden in Garden of Delights.
* John telling Tom his poem is awful in "steal your breath (your words)".
Most revealing story: Would have been an original f/f story I had lined up for iddyiddybangbang, but then it didn't end up happening because of RL and me not being ready to write it.
A story I want remembered: Therapy AU in general, my beloved nasty child.
Story I haven't yet written, but intend to: Lots, but there is a story about Izzy and Ed on a ghost ship I'd like to write and finish..
Fic-writing goals for 2023:
- Keep writing.
- Finish some long-time WIPs.
- Work on original stuff.
