2024 Writer Year-In-Review

Hi, I’m RaisedonRadio & FortressofmyPast on AO3 and FF.net. This is an on-going tradition since 2015. Check out my past year-end posts: 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015.

Tagging a few people, and if you come across my little post and want to do your own year in review, feel free to tag me!

@writercorianarose @shesailsships @talesofsorrowandofruin

Total Word Counts: 18,968 in published fanfics 16,540 Camp Nano April 7,909 Nanowrimo

Total Number Of Completed Works: 5 Total Number of WIPS worked on this year: 8, I think How Many WIPs do you still have: 23 (wait…that’s the same as last year…such a classic example of the plot bunnies multiplying as fast one can write them)

Looking back, did you write more than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d expected? Less. I started off with a bang, and fizzled out. And I didn’t finish Nanowrimo, I just didn’t have the drive for it with all stuff happening with them this year. (I should have chosen a new tracking system ahead of time!)

Did you take any writing risks this year? I’d say no, I played it really safe. But I did write a couple of fanfics for a series when it wasn’t finished yet. I normally would wait so my fics can be overly canon-compliant, which is something I have really loosened up on in the past few years.

Biggest Surprise: The huge reception I got from the My Demon and Sweet Home fics. Wow! I was almost spoiled by the outpouring of kudos!

Biggest Disappointment: Definitely wish I had kept writing consistently.

Do you have any writing goals for the new year? Be more consistent in writing. Even if I can’t manage daily, maybe even weekly, instead of dropping everything for months.

Fanfiction Questions! (if you don’t write fanfiction feel free to skip or rework the questions for your original works.)

Fandoms I’ve written in this year: They were all Kdramas: My Demon, Destined With You, Sweet Home, Sound of Magic

Your most popular story of the year? That would be “I Burn For You”, with 328 kudos, 14 comments, and 6,958 hits. I was floored by the turnout it received.

The story that was easiest/or most fun to write: If I go by the amount of drafts I have, it was “Alone”, with three.

Hardest story to write: There were seven drafts for “Long Story Short”. ^^;;

Your sweetest story: “Safe And Sound” came out kinda of sickly-sweet. XD

Your saddest scene: I don’t think I wrote anything too sad this year, just a little angst in “Long Story Short” and “Alone”.

The sexiest moment you’ve written this year? 4 out of my 5 fanfics were, once again, E rated. I apologize to any readers who miss my T rated fics. XD

Your favorite tag: (whether you use it the most or just something witty/perfect for the story) I finally used a ‘wrote this instead of sleeping’ variation (it was me editing at 2 in the morning)

Most unintentionally telling story: (have you accidentally or purposefully exposed a detail about yourself?) Surprisingly nothing comes to mind this year! (But I’m sure there are bits and pieces of me throughout)

Are any of your fics named after/heavily inspired by music? All of them were named after songs or lyrics, yet again. I wouldn’t be RaisedonRadio if I came up with original titles -_-;; And since one of the fics was from a musical, I included a little playlist of the songs I had on repeat when writing it. :D

What’s your own favorite story of the year? Hmm, that’s tough, I was pretty pleased with most of them this year…but I’ll go with “I Burn For You”.

My favorite part of fandom this year: I love writing for active fandoms, and yet I also love writing for super quiet fandoms. I did both this year!

2023 Writer Year-In-Review

Hi, I’m RaisedonRadio & FortressofmyPast on AO3 and FF.net. This is an on-going tradition since 2015. Check out my past year-end posts: 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015.

Tagging a few, but if you come across this, consider it an open tag! You’re welcome to tag me back, I’d love to read it!

@writercorianarose @shesailsships @talesofsorrowandofruin @azdesertwillow @goneahead @littlemissfandomworld @dreams-of-kalopsia @halleyuhm

Big change for me compared to last year—in addition to NaNoWriMo, I actually posted fanfics! I tried to add some new questions to this year’s edition, I hope they might even move out of my tiny circle.

Total Word Counts: 51,920 for 2023 NaNoWriMo 15,570 on 2022 NaNoWriMo project 19,193 for July 2023 Camp NaNoWriMo (mostly fanfics) 28,310 in published fanfics (this number is overlapping with camp nano, I wasn’t paying attention, so I’m not going to add everything together)

Total Number Of Completed Works: 10 Total Number of WIPS worked on this year: 10 or so How Many WIPs do you still have: 23

Looking back, did you write more than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d expected? I wrote way more than expected! I seriously didn’t think I would do NaNoWriMo again. And I published ten fics! That’s ten more than last year!

Did you take any writing risks this year? The NaNoWriMo project was definitely a risk for me. I basically had an idea and no outline. It was quite a challenge to my perfectionism issues—I had to basically never reread anything and just keep going, fully aware that I can better foreshadow the ideas that came up halfway through in the next rewrite.

Biggest Surprise: I wrote for NaNoWriMo again, which I was pretty sure wouldn't happen lol, and hit the word count, all through discovery writing, and having very little idea where I was going with it.

Biggest Disappointment: I dropped that above mentioned project the moment November ended! I can tell it has potential, hidden in there. I will definitely return to it.

Do you have any writing goals for the new year? I’d love to at least finish the first draft of the 2023 NaNoWriMo project, bringing it to a tentative end so I can actually reread it and go from there. And keep writing fanfic, and maybe even work on the 2022 nanowrimo project…

Fanfiction Questions Below! (if you don’t write fanfiction feel free to skip or rework the questions for your original works.)

Fandoms I’ve written in this year: I wrote fics for 7 different fandoms! For the following kdramas: Island, Tale of the Nine Tailed, Memorist, Royal Secret Agent, W: Two Worlds, May I Help You?, and a little Korean Web drama called Handmade Love.

Your most popular story of the year? That would be Besides You with 327 hits and 47 kudos. However Superhero got the most comment interaction with 4!

The story that was easiest/or most fun to write: I Think He Knows was fun to write! I do just love brooding with a heart of gold formerly immortal male leads.

Hardest story to write: Rescue Me, Superhero, Restore, and Prayers & Promises were four works that I had left for dead, and came back and found them to be basically finished and just needed proofreading. (So just in case anyone wondered how I turned out three of those in like two days: they were actually done and I was hellbent on getting them out of my WIPs list)

Your sweetest story: That would definitely be Superhero. I altered my normal narrative style to better fit the child’s character, and I was really pleased with how it turned out.

Your saddest scene: I feel like I hit a lot of angst this year, but nothing really sad?

The sexiest moment you’ve written this year? *coughs* I wrote five pieces of smut. (Half of my fanfics were smut this year?!) Umm, I’m torn between Beside You and Don’t Blame Me? But also Never Be the Same and Take On Me???

Your favorite tag: (whether you use it the most or just something witty/perfect for the story) My brother announced to me that he reads all my tags (he was trying to embarrass me about one of my smut pieces) so I did a shout out to him in the next fic. He saw it within the day, I was actually impressed.

Most unintentionally telling story: (have you accidentally or purposefully exposed a detail about yourself?) Religious guilt seems to be a reoccurring tag this year. In all seriousness, not quite sure why, but yet it kinda makes sense? (its complicated lmao) And for some reason not one, but two fics ended with marriage proposals?! (I’m so single.)

Are any of your fics named after/heavily inspired by music? I’m RaisedonRadio and it would be concerning if—checks list—less than 8 of the 10 fics weren’t named after songs, haha! (I’m actually just really bad at naming fics…)

Good To You and Besides You are both songs by the band Marianas Trench, and are heavily inspired by the songs. Rescue Me is by OneRepublic, one of those more vibes than lyrics inspired. I Think He Knows by Taylor Swift was definitely on repeat for that fic, as well as Don't Blame Me. (Poems), Prayers, and Promises was more a steal the name of the song by John Denver, for some reason I think Cold by Corbyn was on repeat when writing that one. Take On Me was named more for the similarities between the MV and the series! Never Be The Same was for the vibes of the song by Camila Cabello but not really the lyrics.

What’s your own favorite story of the year? Maybe it’s cheating but I’m not sure if I can really choose? I know it’s not a common writer sentiment but I really do like them all for different reasons.

Like I churned out Good To You and Besides You within ten days of each other in July, after not writing any fanfic basically for a year and a half.

And then I pulled Rescue Me out of the dead drafts pile and made myself work on more description.

I Think He Knows was my first foray into a brand new fandom.

Don’t Blame Me is one of my rare canon divergence fics.

Restore was another dead draft that I found to be mostly complete, and decide to release into the world even if I knew there was so much more I could have done with it.

Prayers and Promises was not only another new fandom, but for some reason, I decided to write for a side character. It’s still sitting on just 1 hit and that makes it all the better that I really wrote it for myself.

Superhero was out of my comfort zone of writing for a kid’s perspective and I was so happy with how it turned out.

Take On Me was a draft sitting at less than 1k words and I challenged myself to finish it before the new year, and got it done in two days.

And then, to finish it all off with the intense desire to have ten fics under the belt for 2023, I wrote Never Be The Same in less than two days for the last drama I had watched, and the speed that the last two fics were actually finished was a huge change for me.

Fanfiction risks you took this year? I wrote fanfic for not one, but two fandoms that I had to create the first tags for on AO3! Also, as I started to slip into just writing for kdramas this year, I’ve basically become my own proofreader and editor at this point. Any mistakes are my own, lol.

My favorite part of fandom this year: That would be getting two kudos and a comment on I Think He Knows, one of the fics that is the first in its fandom tag. To actually connect with more fans of such a tiny project was so cool!

Thanks for reading and here’s to next year!
