2024 Writing Roundup

Tagged by @remedyturtles Thank you, cherie!

Words Posted: 200,698! It was a big year, and I didn't even do that great during Nano. That makes me happy that I was able to write so much. I'm also not counting my original works in that.

Additional Word Count: 100,052 .....what. What. What?!

Fandoms: Some original stuff, ROTTMNT, 2012 TMNT, Arcane, TFP, and TFOne!

Highest Kudos + Highest Hit One-Shot: Faults, Follies, and Fixes! That one makes sense. I wrote it earliest in the year, so it had plenty of time to accumulate love. It sits at 294 kudos and 1,781 hits. Pretty cool!

New Things I Tried: HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF SPRINTING?! SET A TIMER AND WRITE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN DURING THE ALLOTTED TIME MOST OF MY WORD COUNT WAS DONE WHILE SPRINTING I LOVE SPRINTING LET ME SPRINT MORE CHIEF My friends have referred to sprinting as my "life blood". Oh, also I go by Dray now.

Fic I Spent The Most Time On: Honestly? Ummm, not counting Shredder's Vendetta because that is a multi-year project, but probably Anywhere Just Not Home! I started developing it early in 2024/later in 2023, and it's become one of my favourites.

Fic I Spent The Least Time On: Violet Is The Colour Of Grief. Wrote that bad boy in probably thirty minutes.

Favourite Thing I Wrote: This is kind of a tie. Right now, the closest one I've got is I've Got You Under My Skin. That was a labor of love with one of my best friends, @pickledcarrotsandradish and beta'd by @mackself. It took me over for a full month, combing through it, making it perfect, rereading it over and over and over. The second one is a lot less cool, but it's Trample the Weak. It just made me happy to do.

Favourite Thing(s) I Read: So many. So, so many. I've narrowed it down to the ones I remember vividly.

firefight by remrose Obviously. By the way it auto-capitalized remrose which proves just how much I yell their name.

Oh, If My Engine Works Perfectly On Empty by Bemmiecake Wishing Bemmiecake all the best in their recovery... One time they commented on one of my stories and I felt like I had ascended as high as I could.

Minus One by carrot_top_munk What can I say but what the frag??? This changed me forever. So what if I cried?!

Waste Report by Caubool Another one that left me a sobbing mess on the floor begging for redemption and love and why would they write that

the soft animal of your body by taizi I am staring respectfully. I've reread it half a billion times. I love the concept so much and I need more from that universe.

Fight or Flight by pickledcarrotsandradish SO I'M BIASED WHAT ABOUT IT, IT'S A FIC FOR ME ABOUT TEAM A! MY FAVOURITE TEAM! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, NOT INCLUDE IT?! Also, Radish, you don't have a pfp on AO3 and it threw me when I was copying the link for your username. /lh /t

Frigid Sliders and Flaming Feet by orchardkeeper This one is underrated. So underrated I might just cry and throw up. Everyone, read it, pLEASE it's so good it's got a hypothermia Leo or a Hypothermeo as I like to call him! It's so good. It's so good. Oh also Leo has depression did I mention that bit?!

Say Something True by Dandy So funny story. I named myself Cassandra, and only afterwards did I learn about the prophetess' curse. Every so often I'm reminded of the inherent angst tied to the name. This fic reminds me of it OFTEN mostly because I reread it like crazy.

like_theletter So I know I'm supposed to recommend fics here. But I don't want to copy the link for every single one of his fics. So I recommend this author. I came to a section in my bookmarks that was just a wall of L's stories. I love him so much. Don't tell him but I think he's my favourite author.

helpless by splinnters Almost every One-Shot I read leaves me begging for more. This one is no exception. In fact, it's top of the food chain. How dare they just END it there I need MORE

Writing Goals for 2025: Oh, we're doing goals? Then 500,000 words. I bet I could make it. It'd suck, but I bet I could make it.

New Works: Promises, Priorities and Protocols. (Someone who wasn't even in the TF fandom told me they want to read this one because of the snippets I've sent in the sprinting channel. I'm so excited to write more, but I got stuck.) A Matter Of Silence. Playing Favourites. What's In A Name. Incessant Buzzing. Honey Hunt. Entomology Mount. Names are all subject to change, but if you're in the TF fandom, I bet you know immediately what character is my favourite.

Tagging: @griffin-stone, @pickledcarrotsandradish, @mackself, @orchard-keeper

Hi, I totally respect that you removed all your old fics and that it felt weird writing about real people, but your fics were really good!! Have you maybe considered writing any with original characters or reposting your old ones but changing the names and details? I'm sure lots of people would love them!

that’s so funny that i got this today, i recently watched arcane and its consuming my every waking thought. would any of yall want to read one shots and hcs and stuff?

i would prolly focus on cait and vi the most.

i also love these fandoms it yall wanna request from them!

marvel (x-men included)

stranger things (i also have some very old fics about 001 and jonathan, from before i realized i was a dyke lol if you want them lmk)

as before mentioned, arcane

ummm! i think that’s the biggest ones

i’ll only write like full stuff abt non-men

ill write fluffy/hcs about men if yall really want it…

that’s it!
