2024 Fic Reading Tracker - March
We're back! I kept it up for another month. Couldn't have done it without @the-blind-assassin-12 Alyssa's March Fic Madness challenge! Find my 2024 fic reading tracker masterlist and blank tracker here.
I read fewer fics and words in March than in February or January, but I read some longer ones and I wrote more (that's all coming soon). Graphs and monthly fic recs below the cut!
March Fic Reading Stats
# of fic reading instances: 119
# of words read: 1,251,818
Fics by fandom
PPCU = Pedro Pascal cinematic universe
You may notice the count is different from the count on my March Madness Tracker - it's because of how I count reads vs. fics.
PPCU Fics by Pedro character
We have a new addition, folks! This is Pero's first month appearing in the data.
Fic recs
Like previous months, I'm going to choose some fics I definitely recommend with a random number generator (1 through 119). But I also collected all of my PPCU fandom reads with links and tags into these two lists for Alyssa's March Fic Madness! They're organized by Pedro boy.
March Fic Madness - Fic Recs 💕 pt 1
March Fic Madness - Fic Recs 💕 pt 2
And a few fic recs via random number generator from my reading tracker:
Confetti by @secretelephanttattoo
Fandom: PPCU, Marcus Pike x f!reader, 1.5k, Rating: M
summary: You're at a wedding when a handsome brown eyed man steals you away. (part of El's Quiet Moments collection - and so cute and spot on for Marcus 💕)
Centrifugation by @theclairvoyage
Fandom: PPCU, Joel Miller x f!reader, 27k so far, Rating: E
summary: You’re the star phlebotomist at the local plasma center, and the job has been increasingly mundane as of late… until a new and handsome Texan donor comes to the center and changes that, and the rest your life.
(I loooove this reader and Joel 🥰)
DECLINED by @alltheirdamn (link to part 1)
Fandom: PPCU, Joel Miller x f!reader, 14k so far, Rating: E
summary: You're on a cross-country road trip when your tires blow, and you're forced to get them fixed at a small town mechanic shop. When your card declines, you only have one other option to get your car back.
(mechanic!Joel!!!!)
your mama's got plans and your daddy's aim is true by storm_petrel
Fandom: Mass Effect, Female Shepard x Kaiden Alenko, 6.5k, Rating: M (ao3 link)
summary: There was no Alliance manual for trying to drag two trillion people fighting and screaming through absolute certain death, and there was nothing about what to do when you unexpectedly got spat out on the other side, either. And there was definitely nothing about what to do if your hot, older-than-you, currently missing-in-action boyfriend knocked you up at some stage in that sequence of events.
(I love this fic 😭 cw: pregnancy)
...
see you next month!

🌹Rose Serpent Press Yearly Overview 2023 🌹
Better late then never am I right? Stats below the read more!
🐍Total:
6 books bound, all unique, and single fic books rather then duplicates or anthologies. Of these, 4 were fanfiction.
Of these, 4 were A6 and 2 were A5.
A total of 213599 words uniquely typeset.
The word count this year was a little less then the year before, and about half of the number of books bounds then last year. This result is likely as this year many of my typesets focused on single-fic books rather than anthologies, series of anthologies, ot duplicates which composed of a good number of the ones I had bound last year. I had also been quite busy this year unfortunately, and didn't have as much time as I wanted to put work into bookbinding. I had also gotten a lot more pickier for how I like to do my typesetting, and as a result it took me much longer to do a typeset then previously. Which reminds me I have some nearly finished typesets I just need to touch one or two things up on... ooops. This also seems to be a A6 enthusiast year as I seem to have focused mainly on those, rather then the previous A5 books.
Total of books bound over the two years now: 19 books, 2 published literature, 1 journal, and 16 fanfiction. For fanfiction, 50 unique fics have been printed, spanning across 6 fandoms. Four new fanfics were added this year to the list, and three new fandoms; Hannibal, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Trigun.
🐍Fandoms and Ships:
Trigun: Vash the Stampede x Nicholas - 1 book, 1 fic
Jujutsu Kaiden: Gojo Satoru x Getou Suguru - 1 book, 1 fic
Gintama: Sakata Ginroki x Toushirou Hijikata - 1 book, 1 fic
Hannibal: Hannibal Lecter x Will Graham - 1 book, 1 fic
Published literature/other: 1 book, and 1 journal
🐍Breakdown by title:
Nachfolge (A5) - 82150 words
Lilac (A6) - 16820 words
Journal (A5) - no words, 60 sheets
Wolf and I (A6) - 46115 words
White pony (A6) - 10049 words
Carry Me Home (A5) - 58465 words

OH also i figured out a solution to item farming for Lesser Beast. i spent an hour in elden ring last night killing Kaiden Sellswords trying to get the chest piece and had an idea for like, a hunter NPC
basically when you first meet them, they give you a journal that keeps track of every enemy type you encounter. as you kill more of a given enemy type, you unlock lore entries\stat info about them, but Also if you bring the journal back to the hunter, they have a shop where you can directly buy drops from any enemy you've killed enough of
I don't know what they'd want as payment though since I haven't figured out the rest of the game's economy. Maybe like some kind of token system tied to the hunter NPC sending you after specific stronger enemies? like go to the Polar City and fight this specific beefed up Glacial Wolf Knight miniboss and he drops a stack of Hunter Tokens you can use in the item drop store

Elden Knights - The Future of Blockchain Gaming Ecosystem |Enjoy Game And Get Passive Income
Introduction of Elden Knights
Elden Knights is a blockchain based game that is looking to revolutionize the gaming industry by allowing players to earn crypto while they play their favourite games.
You are a group of like minded individuals who were tired of the same old way of making money in games, wanted something different something better. So you took it upon ourselves to create our own platform where you can allow for people to make real money doing what they love.
This platform is being developed by some very talented programmers and designers which have already got some great looking trailers up showcasing exactly what this new game has to offer.
In case you're wondering why we say this is going to be the next big thing, it's because of all the reasons that have been mentioned above; the game mechanics, the graphics, the atmosphere. Not only will you be able to have fun, but you'll also be able to earn some crypto at both the same time!
The game will be a space adventure with lots of action, quests, and content. It's an RPG with a futuristic theme that players can enjoy while earning money in cryptocurrency. The graphics are amazing and the gameplay is fun. You'll feel like you're actually in the game world!
The cool thing about this project is that it's not just a game - you can earn money while playing it! Imagine getting paid to play games. With the help of DeFi technology, players will be able to spend their crypto earnings on different in-game items so they can get ahead in their adventures.
The best part? Players don't have to leave their own homes to get paid—they can earn money by playing from their computers or mobile devices!
Mission of Elden Knights?
Elden Knights are on a mission to be the first blockchain based game where gamers will earn Elden Knights tokens every time they play. The gaming industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world, and it's no stranger to blockchain technology.
With the goal of conquering the Metaverse, they took aim at Elvoy for the missing piece of the puzzle in their conquest. Deep in the Village Temple, the Orb of Kitera resides.
Legend has it, the sphere is the power source of the entire Metaverse, anyone who awakens the orb will be granted unlimited strength. And ultimately defeat Lord Kaiden and his entourages to bring peace to Elvoy.
Players will receive their in-game character 1:1 with the purchase of an NFT. Each character is unique in both appearance and base stats. Upon receiving their character in Elvoy, a player will be able to train their skills, upgrade their weapons and gears, and craft boosts to use for PVP. Along the development journey, with each achievement and win, they are rewarded with $KNIGHTS token.
About Genesis NFT
As long as there is a demand for Elder Knight Genesis, NFT hodler will always have access to play2earn income stream on those assets via Elvoy game in the future. It provides a way for people to become stakeholders of the company without investing money in it directly.
Elder Knight NFT will be used for in-game purpose. We know that most of the NFT projects are just for speculation, but we have a different vision for our game. This platform want to build an online game company. The core purpose of Elder Knight is to build amazing online games that everyone can enjoy. With this goal is to make Elder Knight Genesis a successful game and provide fun, engaging experiences to gamers.
Elden Knights want NFT holders to receive the full value of their assets and generate passive income on their assets when they are not playing our games. That is why we make sure that all NFTs will be tradable on exchanges. Not only will NFT holders be able to sell their NFTs on exchanges, they can also purchase back the assets in the future.
$Knight Token Usage
Elden Knights is the crypto gaming project that makes use of blockchain technology to make new inroads into a rapidly growing market.
By utilizing the nonfungible properties of ERC721, Elden Knights provides players with a novel means of engaging with one another and the game's setting. The first comprehensive crypto-gaming platform, Elden Knights is both groundbreaking and disruptive.
These tokens can be used to buy or sell rare or valuable in-game goods that other players may have on hand. In-game items will also have an associated price tag in $KNIGHTS. Players will be able to purchase these items using $KNIGHTS tokens from the game directly or from other players within the game's ecosystem.
Conclusion
Elden Knights is an innovative new way to play non-fungible video games. It does this by combining the decentralized ledger technology of blockchain with the value of non-fungible game assets. Using the game's mechanics, Elden Knights gives players a new way to interact with each other and with the world of the game.
This ecosystem a groundbreaking crypto-gaming project that uses the nonfungible properties of ERC721 to show that in-game assets are owned by a group of people who are not all in one place. Elden Knights was made by a team of veterans of the industry.
The game is played to earn $KNIGHTS tokens, which are given to the player for their time and progress. These tokens can be bought with other crypto assets or sold for them, and players can also use them to trade in-game goods with each other.
Users can do more than just play games or collect cards, because the blockchain makes the activity more unique and gives it more variety. The people working on Elden Knights are well aware of how fast-paced the industry is and want to make their project stand out from those of their competitors.
The game is played to earn $KNIGHTS tokens, which are given to the player for their time and progress. These tokens can be bought with other crypto assets or sold for them, and players can also use them to trade in-game goods with each other.

super keen to know who’s on your list of habs guys you’d keep in a rebuild !!!
so this is built around the idea that we are trying to contend within five or so years, and that to some extent everyone is up for sale, although we are trying to keep a few veterans to help shepherd and guide the younger players and act as mentors during this transition (to hopefully avoid ending up like buffalo or arizona or cbj where it seems like things are always in a flux or a rebuild).
[this is assuming that kent hughes does the smart thing which is immediately revamp and restructure the departments, and hire people in analytics and player development who can maximize the prospects we have who haven't been ruined by the prior regime (and this is like. a lot of hires. it's not just stats people but like hughes indicated, people who can tell you why someone has a bad xGF and want to fix it) and try to make sure that a bunch of them can actually make the league one day. without the prospects being able to fill the gap (even in bottom pairing or bottom six lines) we aren't going anywhere. it also assumes that he is going to hire competent scouts to cover both north america and europe.
this is also in an ideal world where contracts could be offloaded... i truly can't imagine anyone actually trading FOR mike hoffman, although maybe with salary retained we could get someone to take him off of our hands.]
but anyway. the guys i am definitely keeping include the players who i see as the young core, the pieces we are building around. that's nick suzuki first and foremost, cole caufield and alexander romanov on the second tier, and to some extent a prospect like kaiden guhle. (i would keep either one of preems or monty as a backup or an ahl guy although i would be open to moving them, as much as i love both of them, more on that later. we're being ruthless here and for a good return, i'm open.)
for veteran forwards, i am keeping tyler toffoli. he is a valuable trade piece with his contract and the way his game is played (he's a smart player, already not the fastest, his best qualities will age well), but i think he is even more valuable as a mentor for guys like nick and cole, who literally call him their dad. look how much better nick plays on the ice with him than without him. he's only 30 so he's going to decline within the next four years or so, but by that time, he will have been a valuable support to the kids who need his leadership. he comes up big in the playoffs and he knows what it takes to win a cup.
i would also keep lehky. he is young, fairly affordable, and gives it 110% every shift. you can never accuse lehky of taking a night off. he's defensively responsible and if he sometimes lacks finishing, he still has his big moments (see the gwg sending us to the scf.) he's also a little older than some of the prospects and has a good sense of humor, and i think he's an important locker room guy. he can play up and down the lineup even though on a contending team, he is a bottom six guy.
i wouldn't go crazy pushing guys like jake evans out the door, because again, he's a really reasonable contract, he gives it 110% every shift, and he's defensively responsible and can play up the lineup when needed, but you also know what his ceiling is. if there was a good offer for him i would consider it.
literally everyone else is on the block, even though i am fond of (i.e. i would either say i like them or love them) a lot of them and it pains me to say it. with a rebuild clearly shit isn't working, and you can't afford to get attached to players, even the ones you love. this was one of bergevin's major failings (even beyond the drafting and development which were the worst), was being emotional about contracts, whether it was getting rid of guys he didn't like, or giving really huge term to guys he did.
a lot of the current players on the roster do things that can be done cheaper, better, healthier, or younger by someone else. this is where if you could get an offer for gally you would jump at taking it and have to not be sentimental--he bleeds bleu blanc et rouge but he's not getting any younger and you can see what a huge toll his playing style has already taken on his body. and like i love pezz, but on a contending team he would not even be sniffing the nhl, you know? same for rem pitlick.
for the defensemen not named alexander romanov, i'm pretty sure the only one i would not be trading if i got an offer would be eddy. he is solid, and even if he's not a puck moving defensemen he was able to do it during the playoffs last year. he is also an important voice in the room and that's one of those veteran leadership qualities that's important. but otherwise i would absolutely gut the defense. it's built in bergevin's image, it is not modern, and even our premier puck moving defenseman or the closest thing to it--petry--has been a shadow of himself this year. just burn it all down and start over. we could have eddy-romanov as a top pair, deal with the leftovers (probably no one would want clague or niku and they're perfectly cromulent bodies during a rebuild for now), and start bringing up the prospects like norlinder or guhle or harris if he'll sign over the summer.
for goalies, a lot of it depends on carey price. if he is healthy and wants to play, then he is staying, first because that's the one area i'm gonna be a little sentimental in, second because when he is rested and healthy he's still one of the best goalies in the world, and third because i don't think anyone would take that contract without major salary retention anyway (and his nmc). so if he wants to stay in montreal, he's your starter. i would trade jake allen because you could definitely get good value for him, both as a good veteran locker room presence and a very very excellent 1b or backup goalie. i feel like mcniven is probably looking for a way out of the organization and i can't really blame him, because he hasn't gotten much of a chance. if we keep cayden primeau he really needs to play in a 1b situation instead of a backup to carey because otherwise he is never going to develop into an nhl-caliber goalie. same for montembeault. i feel like we'd either need to keep one or the other and as much as i love both of them one would likely have to go (there are a few very promising goalies in the pipeline including dichow, so you'd have people to eventually fill in at the ahl level, especially if you could get something back for either one of the current guys holding down our fort).
if carey can’t play or doesn’t want to stay i think i would still trade jake allen and let preems and monty get the starts. a rebuild is absolutely the time to see whether or not they have what it takes. if they don’t... can always target someone in trades or free agency later on. the goalie carousel last offseason certainly showed that.
sorry if that was a lot of words (or if i offended someone... i'm pretty sure someone's gonna be offended, haha).
so to clarify, we are definitely keeping:
forwards: nick suzuki, cole caufield, tyler toffoli, artturi lehkonen, maybe jake evans
defense: alexander romanov, joel edmundson
goalies situation one: carey price (if he wants to stay), one of cayden primeau or samuel montembeault
goalies situation two: cayden primeau and samuel montembeault
and whoever can’t be moved without losing too much in retention or assets (i’m still salty about chuck fletcher PAYING arizona to take gostisbehere).
if you’re into podcasts andrew berkshire and shane malloy (he has a phd in hockey analytics type stuff and works for ea sports on their nhl games) have a really good game over montreal episode on a rebuild and who they’d keep and what needs to be done. i agree with a lot of what they had to say tbh.

Cal Topples #25 Stanford
Golden Bears Open Season with Upset Victory
PALO ALTO, California - Maddie Cleat scored the lone goal in the third quarter, pushing the California field hockey team past No. 25 Stanford, 1-0, in the 2021 fall season opener at Leland Stanford Junior University.
The upset marks the Golden Bears' first victory over a ranked Stanford team since defeating the #14 Cardinal, 4-2, down on The Farm in 2017.
As delighted as the Bears were to start the season with a record of 1-0, they met with their opponents on the field afterwards to let them know that they're still on the same team in support of west coast field hockey.
"We circled up with Stanford after the match because the last time we were here, we met with them and basically had to mark the event that they were done, and we were trying to support them in that moment," said Director of Field Hockey Shellie Onstead. "We got together and told them, 'Good job, you're back and we're with you, just like we were in March.' West coast hockey has to stick together."
Stanford played the entire match without a goalie, and thus decided to go with a player advantage throughout the contest. Cal was aware beforehand of the strategy by Stanford, but it still presented new challenges compared to a regular game.
"It was tough," Onstead said. "It was an adjustment because we were essentially playing a player-down on the field the entire time. You're kind of shifting the risk back and forth. They played a great tactical game. They played it slow and just tried to take us off of our game. But ultimately we met the challenge and prevailed."
Megan Connors picked up an assist on Cleat's third-quarter goal. Cleat finished the spring campaign tied with Brynn Zorilla for the team lead in points and goals, and tallied Cal's first goal of the fall season tonight. Kaiden Stanley also recorded a shot.
"We had a hard time getting it into the circle, they always had an extra defender," Onstead said. "We didn't do very well with the circle penetrations we had, and then we finally loosened up a little, started passing the ball better and got a quality chance in the circle. Maddie made a good reception and pushed it in. There's almost more pressure when you're receiving a ball and you know you have an open goal and you mess up the reception. We actually did that a few times until Maddie finally got it done."
Cato Knipping was only forced to make two saves on the stat sheet, earning her first shutout of the season and the fourth of her career. Onstead noted that while Knipping may not have been busy stopping shots, she guided the Bears throughout the match, organizing the backfield as the "quarterback" and was tabbed the team's player of the game.

@allronix (tagging you because you specifically asked)
☆ Edit 4/1/21: One of their weights were incorrect so I went back and fixed it.
OK so the thing I want to do with my fic is actually have three recruits escape the Endar Spire with Carth, and have it be ambiguous which one is Revan for the first few chapters. It would be kind of hard to hide it for long, but I already have backstories made up for the non-Revan recruits that should be interesting. Also I l love Carth, Bastila, and Juhani, and I couldn’t pick which one I want to write a romance for, so I decided to use all my Recruit-Revan fan designs as separate characters.
Anyway, I spent the day drawing up character bio pages for them. Their faces are inspired by various heads you can give the player character.
(Just want to note that the Skills and Attributes sections isn't game accurate because I decided to give them all 27 skill points and 78 attribute points each).

。* ❪ 📂 › BASICS.
𓏲 * ( tom holland, cis man, he/him, dylan o'brien ) ⸺ pictures of KAIDEN LUCAS ST. JAMES have been showing up all over my feed, and considering the last time they were #trending, it was due to him getting arrested after driving his car into a fire station — i’m not likely to unfollow anytime soon. with their dirty blue jeans and $95 plain white tees, i’m not surprised to hear that they are considered part of the BLUE BLOODS. after twenty seven years, they’ve managed to garner a reputation for being more goofy than destructive, but their critics say that they’re more impulsive than generous when they aren’t too busy focusing on their collection of cars that he’s managed to scratch or crash while intoxicated, trying to remember if they’re mad at him because of something he did while sober or drunk and attempting to find himself in the bed of every stranger who casts a glance his way. when they aren’t occupied with their work as an actor, they’ve been sighted street racing. reputation.com has taken to calling them THE CRASH DUMMY in order to avoid a lawsuit ( again ).
。* ❪ 📂 › BIOGRAPHY.
though he’ll never admit it , kaiden was born into a chaotic family , he spent the early years of his life not with his parents but with his grandmother . if you were to ask her she’d say kaiden was born to be in the spotlight . you’ve got such perfect bone structure , you’re so naturally charming , the public would just love you . his mother is a child star and his grandmother was the manager who propelled her to superstardom . naturally , he grew up watching his mother’s old programs and wishing that he could be just like her . when she showed up to move kaiden and his twin out of their grandparents house he was more than a little angry about it but looking back at it , he can see the wisdom in her decision , the moments of joy she was able to carve out for them that wouldn’t have been possible had she raised them in the limelight but something inside him always itched for more . he got his big break at sixteen when he starred in a MTV's teen wolf . almost over night he was a hit . partying had always been a big part of his life it just kicked into overdrive when he was suddenly making his own money .
the first DUI was actually pretty easy to hide . so easy that he forgot that it happened until he got the second one , his mom wasn't so eager to cover up the second mistake and the favors she'd called in the first time weren't stretching as far , even still the news didn’t really affect his life much , he was already done filming the last movie in his franchise and done with his current obligations . he was told to be better , smarter , and so he was . until he couldn't be . the poor reviews of his franchise was a big hit to his ego . he'd begun to see himself as a serious actor , not just someone tied to a teen drama and yet when he took that step it wasn't received well . this led to kaiden having a rather public meltdown , he got so drunk that he punched a cop in the face ( though in his defense acab ) he was sentenced to six months in jail and three years probation . this was just the start of his troubles though . since about 2018 he's been in and out of rehab , jail and various " spiritual retreats " in an attempt to clean himself up . he just recently got out of court ordered rehab for the second time ( he crashed his car into a fire station while drunk out of his mind ) and is hoping that this time will stick . his problem is a bit of an open secret in the industry so he isn’t exactly rolling in job offers but he's trying to keep his head up .
。* ❪ 📂 › PERSONALITY.
from early on kaiden learned to use humor as a way to keep people from looking past the surface so it’s nearly impossible to get him to take things seriously . not that he’d notice the world ending around him , he’s pretty wrapped up in himself and his family . he’s very very protective of his mother and his sister and will ten toes down ask you what your ‘ intentions ’ are if you try and date one of them . his coping skills are pretty limited so when he’s feeling anything besides happiness he tends to drink , do drugs or have sex . he can be vindictive and mean when he feels like he’s been wronged . he can be kind and caring , he’ll carry your purse for you , keep a pair of flats and a little snack tucked in his backpack because he knows how much red carpets suck but at the same time , he falls in love really easily and often times with the complete wrong person because he’s always looking for someone to care for him .

I will take any chance to rant about ocs ✨ her name is Rafferty, and her stats lean towards humble, sincere, friendly, and confidant. She studies psychology, and does music on the side! She has very noticeable vitiligo, curly black hair, and likes to wear kinda alt/goth style clothes. She has a rocky relationship with Jared... she also hates when people try to use her or assume she's just a 'trust fund kid.' Of course that doesn't stop her from teasing back, especially with Kaiden 💖
The fact that Rafferty has noticeable vitiligo and she’s still confident - no matter what she’s a beauty! A rocky relationship with Jared is definitely valid. And she’s romancing Kaidan, so those two will have a lot of teasing going back and forth 💘
Alsooo, if anyone does any drawings/moodboards or any art of their OC’s - definitely tag me. I love learning about them 🥰
~ xXx
