2024 Fic Reading Tracker - January

So in December when everyone was posting how many books they’d read in the last year I started wondering, as I always do, how much fic I read in 2023. And there’s really not a good way of knowing because of my reading habits (a mix of ao3 and tumblr, downloading things to read in Books (iOS app) that I bookmark for later, etc.). So I decided to track it in 2024. So far, I’ve kept it up for the entire month of January. (If we talk a lot and you’re wondering why I haven’t mentioned this to you, it’s because I wasn’t sure if I’d actually follow through, lol. I wanted to see if I’d do it first.)

Note: I tracked every separate reading 'instance', so sometimes it's a whole fic, sometimes it's a new chapter, etc. I read A LOT and I read FAST. Don’t be like me. This is me telling myself to go outside more, y’all. And January was long.

Keep reading for more about what I read and some recs! There are actual bar charts below the cut. Feel free to send me asks about any of it. lol

January Fic Reading Stats

# of fic reading instances: 138 😵‍💫

# of words read: I’m not going to tell you. This number is so much higher than I ever imagined. I’m kind of embarrassed, to be completely honest. It’s huge. It’s terrifying. I need to go outside.

Fics by fandom:

PPCU = Pedro Pascal cinematic universe

Fics by Pedro character:

A few recs

I want to share some fics from each month, but I couldn’t think of a good way to select them other than completely at random (I don’t want to try to choose my favorites or do a ranking. I love too many things and I just don’t want to do that to myself.) So here are 3 random fics that I definitely recommend from my list of fics I read in January, 2024 (generated with a random number generator, 1 through 138):

Another Night by @goodwithcheese Fandom: PPCU, Frankie Morales x f!reader, 2.7k words, Rating: E This is a follow up to Megan's Santa Fe series! Read that first! It's so good!!

to sell your love for peace by @brandyllyn Fandom: PPCU, Javier Peña x f!reader, 27k, Rating: E (lovers to idiots is a hilarious trope)

And This, Your Living Kiss by opal_bullets (@asecretvice) Fandom: Supernatural, Dean x Cas, 56k words, Rating: M (this fic is so freaking good)

...

Hopefully I'll keep this up and see you for another update at the end of February! Cross your fingers for me. I know technically January has a few more hours, but my brain is mush so I'm not going to be doing any reading. lol

update: Ok I had a few requests for a blank version of my tracker, so here you go!

A Year in Fanfiction 2024

Hello everyone! It’s the start of a new year, and with that comes new year’s resolutions!

I personally want to try to read more this year, both published books as well as fanfic. I finally made a goodreads account to keep track of my books and wanted a way to track my fanfiction reading too, so with the help of @kinglazrus, King of Spreadsheets, I present to you A Year in Fanfiction 2024: a combination google form and spreadsheet!

All you have to do is fill out the form…

And it automatically adds a new line to the spreadsheet and tallies how many fics and words you’ve read!

There’s a space for the title, author, fandoms, summary, characters, pairings, tags, as well as personal notes and a link to the fic, so you can easily find what you’re looking for, whether you read it on AO3, FFN, or tumblr!

If you’re trying to read more this year, still working your way through all the fics from the last fandom event *cough* @ecto-implosion *cough* shameless plug *cough*, want to make your own AO3 Wrapped at the end of the year, or just think it’s neat 🥔

Click here to make a copy of the spreadsheet

Click here to make a copy of the form  

The form is optional if you’d rather manually input the information into the spreadsheet. Just make sure that you put “Finished” in the Reading Status column, or the formula won’t add it to your word count tally.

If you want to use the spreadsheet and the form, read below the cut for instructions on how to link them.

There doesn’t seem to be a simple way to share them already linked, and there are a few quirks with setting this up, but it’s not difficult.

Step 1: go to the Responses tab of the form and click Link to Sheets.

Step 2: Click Select existing spreadsheet and find the copy you saved of the A Year in Fanfiction spreadsheet.

Woohoo! They’re linked! Now this is where things get a little tedious.

You’ll find that you now have two tabs on your spreadsheet, one that has the pretty AO3-inspired formatting, and one that’s plain. The plain sheet is where the form sends your answers.

Alternate Step 2: Click Create a new spreadsheet, this way the plain sheet and the pretty sheet are separate documents.

Step 3: In the plain sheet, hide column A and delete the blank columns to the right.

Step 4: In the pretty sheet, click cell B1, hit ctrl+a, right click, and copy. Go to the plain sheet, click cell B1, hit ctrl+a, right click, and paste.

Step 5: Submit a test response on the form. If you are in edit mode for the form, click the eye symbol at the top to go into preview mode. Your response will appear on row 2 of the sheet.

Step 6: Select row 3 and drag it back to row 2, bumping your test row down. 

Step 7: Click cell B1, make sure the formula in orange says $B$3:$B. Repeat with cell C1; the orange formula here should read $M$3:$M and the one in purple should read $H$3:$H. This tells the sheet to start counting at row 3, your first row of fics!

Step 8: PROFIT!

Feel free to play around with it! Change the theme, the alternating colors, add new categories to the form, make it your own!

Happy New Year and happy reading! ♥️

safe to say this year is going well?

I love love love the way I’m keeping track of my books that I’ve read - I just make tiny duplicates of each book I’ve read and stick it in this cute book shaped vase. I have to make some of my TBR books just to have on hand for when I get around to starting and finishing them 🥹💞

Books tracker!

Going to attempt to read more in 2024. This year was quite a bit of a failure for reading so hoping to rectify that for next year. I'm not anticipating getting to 20 books and there isn't quite enough writing space in the book list, but I wanted to leave it open ended to a realistic amount I /could/ read in a year.

[wreckitremy]

so since I am now in THREE book clubs, I have been externally motivated to keep track of what books I'm reading.

And since I am a sucker for brightly colored statistics, the app introduced to me at the newest of these book clubs, is a game changer.

I mean look at it

Anyways it's called storygraph and I've been playing with it since last night.

Please show this to every bookworm with memory problems!

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!

my book + fanfic tracker got a big update for 2023!! no idea how the 'notable tags' is going to turn out for next year. i'm scared lol. we'll see what happens

here's my actual fanfic stats from 2022. the ones to the right in the second image are all made up because i didn't want to put my everything on blast on etsy. apparently i don't have the same reservations for tumblr.

don't make me decode my abbrivated ship names... if i don't have the fandom next to it i have no clue what's going on. very helpful. it's available on my etsy! even "just" a view or favourite really helps me out <3
