The Great Grand Library's 2023 Record

I decided to look back upon all the fics I read in 2023 and compiled them into a list.

Format: Score/10: Title [Author] [Fandom] [Misc].

The scores are a snappy enumeration of my personal rating system. 2/10 means I read for some amount before putting it on hold and theoretically might someday give it another shot but eh, 4/10 means I'm much more likely to give it another shot, 6/10 means I read through all the chapters that was there at the time and enjoyed my time aplenty, 8/10 means I enjoyed it even more, and 10/10 means I enjoyed it so much they're a contender for being among my favorite fics of all time.

Only a small percentage of what are 2/10 are included in this list, so this list isn't bloated by fics that my feelings about are mostly summarised as "eh". Consider them a honorable mentions.

If it's not a fanfic but instead an original work, it will use [Original].

Misc tags: [SI] Self-Insert, [Multi-SI] Multiple Self-Inserts, [FI] Friend-Insert, [OC] Original Character, [Crossover] Crossover which expands as the work goes on, [NSFW] Probably something I got from QuestionableQuesting, [<100k] Less than 100k words long.

If you find anything wrong with the list, like wrong links or a typo somewhere, feel free to let me know.

[theworldofbebasmind-blog]

Am I great?

What am I afraid of?

Rejection could be one

But why be scared of two letters?

It's only the word no.

As if it did something outrageously terrible

You see it's funny

Fear can be a paralyzer or

Fear can be a motivator

Like someone facing their phobia

Like someone getting ready to jump 

What am I afraid of?

An accomplishment?

How can I be scared of something so positive?

When I know it's all want

It's all I've been dying for

How can I get there?

Where's the map to success?

How long is this journey?

Why haven't I made it yet?

So many different attempts

With never ending obstacles

So many different closed doors

Thats left me outside for too long

 Door please open

God make this one door open

Please door why won't you open?

Then I realize and ask myself

Am I ready?

My husband loves drawing. I'm always impressed with his skills and creativity! It's got me thinking... Since my new laptop doubles as an awesome drawing tablet, I'm trying to pick up drawing again myself. Would y'all be interested in seeing my fun little works? #coffee #date #lovemycoffeeguy #drawing #new #tryingitout #writing #amfreeman https://www.instagram.com/p/ByGtyrCgnZf/?igshid=akmnmef8pwvk

When your hotel has a Peloton bike, you try it out. Never been on one before, so it was interesting, but can definitely see why people spend the money on it. Also got my core burning during my Morning Meltdown 100 workout.
