⭐️ Annual Writing Self-Evaluation 2022 ⭐️

Thank you to @larrysballetslippers @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed @daggerandrose @jaerie @louandhazaf @loveislarryislove @beelou @jacaranda-bloom for tagging me! I’ve done this for the past few years and I love seeing how much I’ve grown as a writer each year! (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021)

1. Number of stories posted to AO3: 14

2. Word count posted for the year: 52,141

3. Fandoms I wrote for: One Direction, Music RPF (Lil Nas X, Orville Peck), Ted Lasso

4. Pairings: Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson, girl!Harry Styles/girl!Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles/Ted Lasso, Harry Styles/Lil Nas X, Louis Tomlinson/Orville Peck, Niall Horan & Harry Styles

5. Story with the most: Kudos: Not Another Lonely Christmas Bookmarks: Not Another Lonely Christmas Comments: More Than a Mic Drop

6. Work I’m most proud of (and why): We're Getting Better With Time, I feel like this fic showcases how much I've grown since I've started writing. I learned a lot about pacing and adding relevant details while writing this one, and I've received so many wonderful comments on it.

7. Work I’m least proud of (and why): Good Dogs Don’t Bark, it was fun in the moment to share something inspired by Harry barking on tour, but it isn't something I put a lot of time and effort into, so it isn't very memorable to me compared to other things I posted this year.

8. Share or describe a favorite review you received: There were so many lovely comments all around this year, but one of the funniest was a tweet of someone complaining about my Harry/Ted Lasso fic Premier Fantasies that started off with "MY EYES MY EYES MY EYES OH GOOD LORD MY TIME HERE ON EARTH IS DONE." I feel like I've finally made it to a new tier of fic writer by writing something so unhinged that someone broke into all caps.

9. A time when writing was really, really hard: I don't remember a particularly hard time this year, but November and December were difficult just from the number of deadlines I had. I was luckily able to finish everything by their posting dates, but it was very stressful. I posted the Louis Rare Pair, 1D Christmas Fest, art for Reverse Bang, and a secret santa fic all in December.

10. A scene or character you wrote that surprised you: The entire plot of That's What I Want. I wanted to write a rare pair that hadn't been done before. I picked Harry/Lil Nas X and thought it would be fun to do an Mpreg fic. I couldn’t decide which one in the pair should be pregnant. I laughed so hard when I finally figured out a plot with both of them pregnant.

More under the cut.

11. A favorite excerpt of your writing: From We're Getting Better With Time

He turns out the light, leaving his tired reflection behind as he return to the bedroom to finish unpacking. It’s strange, trying to put back pieces of his life into this room that they’ve never fit into. Everything reminds him how little this house feels like a home. The half-filled closet, the dresser without any knickknacks on top, the bare walls. Even the bedding he’d bought was a boring striped pattern.

He was never meant to stay at this rental house long term. But it’s been eight months since his wife asked for a separation, eight months since he signed the lease on the first available furnished rental unit he could afford. The rental has standard beige walls, beige carpet, beige everything. It is a beige purgatory where he’d planned to wait out the final judgement on his thirty-three years of marriage.

The ink on the divorce papers has been dry for six weeks now, and yet he hasn’t thought about buying a house of his own once.

12. How did you grow as a writer this year: My descriptions and details have improved a lot. While writing We're Getting Better With Time, I had sort of an ah-ha moment. I got frustrated because I kept thinking that the story would be told better if I could write a long slowburn fic, but I didn't have time for that because it was for a fest. Instead, I thought about all the elements I'd want if I were writing the long fic, like Harry's relationships with his ex-wife and children, or to show the difference between the home his ex-wife kept and the house Harry was renting temporarily. I got creative and found new ways to slip those details into the story without adding chapters of backstory or filler.

13. How do you hope to grow next year: My goal last year was to finish some of my longer wips. I definitely didn't do that this year, and the longest fic I posted was under 8k. Longer works are a bit intimidating for me, but I still want to finish the bigger ideas I have in my wip folder.

14. Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc): The 1D Rare Pair group chat is always so encouraging for trying out new pairings! I branched out with some brand new pairs this year, with Harry/Ted Lasso in Premier Fantasies, Harry/Lil Nas X in That's What I Want, and Louis/Orville Peck in It's All Come and Go.

15. Anything from your real life show up in your writing this year: Oddly, I wrote three fics this year that mention pancakes/waffles, and they were never eaten at breakfast. This was completely unintentional, but makes a lot of sense, as pancakes at dinnertime is one of my favorite meals.

16. Any new wisdom you can share with other writers: Stop editing your first draft. It is a lot harder to edit properly when you don't have the full picture. Try getting your idea onto the page first, then perfect it later.

17. Any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year: I have a the start of a prequel for Hex Appeal that I'm hoping to post for @wankersday. I also want to work on my Girl Direction Covid Island fic and my Zouis spy fic.

18. Tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read. @zanniscaramouche @kingsofeverything @quelsentiment @ladyaj-13 @littleroverlouis @uhoh-but-yeah-alright @beelou @allwaswell16 @fallinglikethis @reminiscingintherain @lululawrence @disgruntledkittenface @justanothershadeofblue

OH FHSIDJSJSJM i’m sorry! i love baby harries ♥︎ jeff is harry’s manager, they’ve known each other for awhile during harr’s 1d days before they became the Duo (not saying they weren’t before, but u know what i mean). mitch is in harry’s band and worked with him during both albums (aka the guy who absolutely shreds the guitar during she and the one who gave harr the iconic fender telecaster). they’re both of his best friends, so we have to luv them

A RANKING OF TAKE ME HOME |2012|

AKA GOLDEN ERA OF 1D TMH ERA RISE. Best year of my fucking life man, this album was the fucking shit and the concerts were amazing. Live While We’re Young I listened to this song on repeat all fucking day. I bought the music video. Infamous inflatable banana and the birth of Big Payno. Don’t let the bitches steal your phone, we could see zayns and harrys tattoos, man it was getting risqué. Ah this song was the start of the rowing motion dance move fucking yes yes yes, fave bit w/out a doubt is the lil boats and hamster balls on the lake, as u can see I love this song, it was my saving grace, my summer song. 9/10 we’re starting strong bitch. Kiss You MY KRYPTONITE. Play this song in an exam and I will get up, play this song at my funeral and I will come back to life. This video (and the alt version) are probably my favourite ones of all time; shirtless 5/5, zen w floaties, all the little skits ahhhhhh bless just fucking bless this. Its such a good jam, you gotta dance and sing along to it. 10/10 I have strong feelings about it (GOOGLE NICK EXTENDED REMIX OF THIS SONG, also another reason I love it so much, the vocals are so fucking good for the bridge) Little Things Get ur phone lights out, its getting cutesy and slow. I’ve heard of people saying that this bashes on insecurities but I don’t interpret it that way, stop being negative amirite. SOLID VIDEO, Harrys voice KILLS U and his eyes look so beautiful even in black and white. HARMONIES MAN, LIKE MY GOD 9/10 song bc I loved Nialls solo in this song C’mon C’mon Oooh we back to the girl across the dancefloor songs, but they have been levelled uppppp. U gotta love this song for the stupid dance that they made up for it man. Zayns vocals were killa in this song, like he got some pipes man. 8/10 for the performance value, was such a good concert song. Last First Kiss What a jam, kinda repetitive, but the singing more than makes up for it. Zayns high notes that he did on tour for the end of the song made me love him, why did u betray us zen u bitch. 7/10 Heart Attack YOUU-OOO, DO-OO these are my favourite parts in this song. V reminiscent of UAN, pining pop and whatnot, but deffo a level up. I remember absolutely loving this song, but its become a fond song now, ya feel, others have taken its place, so it’s a 7/10. Rock Me Aka FUCK ME. What the fuck happened in summer ’09 ??? R O C K ME AGAIN. This song was like ‘we are older bois now, we can sing about sex but not directly bc our demographic are young girlies’, and I respect that. Good performance factor, so many opportunities for thrusting and innuendoes, basically a 2013 dream song. 8.5/10,,, the ex .5 id for zen Change My Mind UAN level up song, extreme level up. Imagine floating over girls while singing this, what a great jam, love the pick up in second verse its like oooh fun. It’s a good show off the vocal skills kinda song soooooo, 7/10 Baby if u say want me to drive 2 KFC. I love chicken. I Would This song makes me want to leave my non-existent boyf. Makes u feel loved even tho its just a voice, ah my life is so sad. HES GOT 27 TATTOOS, makes me laugh bc it ain’t an issue anymore (lets just average them out so niall can compete too). Harrys voice just gets all deep and husky in this one and it makes me feel some kinda way 7.5/10 Over Again This is a sweet song, I used to not like it as much, but I have grown to love it, I LOVE louis’ voice in it, it sounds so pretty. Lowkey didn’t know what the fuck a polo was I thought they were talking about the shirts and I was like wtf man. Overall a sweet soft song that deserves more love 8/10 Back For You Always loved, still love and will forever this song. The beat, the vocals, everything. Another art room song that annoyed the barbershop bois. Belt it because hes coming back for you <3 7.5/10 They Don’t Know About Us Quintessential secret love song that makes all girls think they’re in a secret relationship. Nialls soft solo is one of the best bits of this song, a bonus point for that Minus point for NEVER singing it live 6/10 Summer Love Nice soft song, v good lyrics except for the snow in sept. wasn’t relevant to us in NZ. Cri. Quite enjoy it, don’t think ive ever skipped it, but have come close, uh oh. 6/10 She’s Not Afraid ​My fuckin jam. I love this song. JUST SO HARD. SO HARD. *points at nialls dick* v upset that they didn’t put that in the film. Especially love this song bc they always jumped around on stage for this song. NIALLS LAUGH. Lets just call this the niall song bc he owns it, me thinks. 7/10 Loved You First EXTREME UAN PINING SONG LEVEL UP. The chorus is my fave bit, BABY I LOVE UR SHIRT. Play this song everytime harrys in a relationship bc that’s what this songs for bitch. 7/10 Nobody Compares I used to love this song but its gone down and other songs have taken its place. Let it be said that I have NEVER skipped it tho. ‘COMPARES TO YUW’ , honestly how I hear it. 6/10 Still The One THE UNDERDOG. A beautiful surprise at the end of a most beautiful album, a shining beacon of light. It draws you in like ooooh what is this and then the chorus BAM. UR ALL I THINK ABOUT BAAAAABY. A headbanger if there ever was one. Then we come to the bridge, what an experience, YOUR STILL THE OOOOOOOOONE. Harry. Harry. HARR Y. I call this song the I Should Have Kissed You glo-up that we didn’t know we needed. 8/10 RANKING OF TAKE ME HOME​​​ 1. Kiss You (10/10) 2. Live While We’re Young (9/10) 3. Little Things (9/10) 4. Rock Me (8.5/10) 5. Still The One (8/10) 6. Over Again (8/10) 7. C’mon C’mon (8/10) 8. Back For You (7.5/10) 9. Last First Kiss (7.5/10) 10. I Would (7.5/10) 11. Loved You First (7.5/10) 12. Change My Mind (7/10) 13. She’s Not Afraid (7/10) 14. Heart Attack (7/10) 15. They Don’t Know About Us (6/10) 16. Nobody Compares (6/10) 17. Summer Love (6/10) HONOURABLE MENTIONS ONE WAY OR ANOTHER (TEENAGE KICKS) Another beautiful cover by the golden boiz. Probably has the cutest album cover, a cute OT5 family photo, fuck u zen honestly. Bless the video and their stupid dance moves and stupid gangsta dancing in front of David Cameron. KISS YOU – THIS IS US LIVE FROM THE O2 ARENA I don’t know why, but this song makes me feel a certain kinda way and always cheers me up. Reminds of summer nights in India when all I did was listen to One Direction in my room alone and scroll through tumblr looking at concert pics, literally all I did in India. It has a spectacular ending and u can just feel the confetti and the flashing lights, it has a concert vibe to it that I love. TEENAGE DIRTBAG Forever salty that there wasn’t a full studio version of this song, complete with a superhero music video full of Harry punching the air and Liam frying things w his fire hands and would need a private jet at the end (like the film) bc a Bruce Wayne type One Direction superhero team is something I want. LAST FIRST KISS – THIS IS US REGGAE VERSION Studio version me with this song now. Like now. Makes me wanna go to Jamaica and chill out on the beach w Harry w some mojitos or something. TRULY MADLY DEEPLY // MAGIC // IRRESISTIBLE If you don’t know these songs, im disappointed in u. They belonged on the full version of the album in my opinion.

I had a planner for school back in 2012/2013 and instead of writing school assignments in it, I wrote down detailed descriptions of what happened everyday in the 1d fandom and all the drama lmao. I found it the other day, and had a good laugh. Those were the days.

omg... that must have been a lot of stuff written down then, but i love finding old notes and stuff. it’s always so fun to see how things were viewed and what things were happening right at that moment - in your case, they were probably really taking you back with the details gsfljfkdm. for my planner, it’s incredibly jam packed with my due dates and things to read for the day (+ meetings, etc.), so it’s fun for me to have a bit of harr in there to lighten things up!
