2022 Writing Review:

Total number of completed stories:  Six stories across five fandoms, only one of which I had written in prior to this year.

Total word count: Per AO3, I posted 18278 words, although solidly two thirds of that were written pre-pandemic.  Per my writing counter, I wrote just over 45k words overall, which feels…accurate.

Fandom Breakdown:  Our Flag Means Death x 2, Schitt’s Creek, Dragon Age: Absolution, Locked Tomb, & Heart of Gold

Overall Thoughts: Looking back through my writing tracker was an interesting exercise in, “oh, huh, yeah, I actually made a pretty solid start on that, didn’t I?”  There are multiple stories that already have at least 10k written; maybe my goal for 2023 should be to finish one of those? 

…update: well, my last (?) story for 2022 was one that I started in January of 2020; COVID made it tough to write about large groups of people hanging out together, so it’s been languishing for the better part of three years.  I sat down yesterday to work on it, only to discover that it was roughly 300 words away from being finished.   Sitting down and actually fucking writing: WILDLY effective!  Who knew?!

Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d predicted?  Less than last year, but probably still more than I would have predicted?  2022 was a very weird year for me, writing-wise…I ended the year with a completely different set of active fandoms than I had in January, and I also basically stopped writing when I started a new job in August, so that was a four month hiatus I wasn’t planning on.  And yet I did actually write words!  Go me.

What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January? …all of them, TBH.  Yuletide is always a weird outlier, but neither Our Flag Means Death nor Dragon Age: Absolution were even remotely on my radar in January.  

Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?  I think the biggest risk I took was just giving myself permission to NOT WRITE for several months…this fall was exhausting for RL reasons, and I didn’t have the energy or the brain.  I was lowkey  afraid that if I let myself stop, I’d never start again, but clearly that didn’t happen; December actually wound up being the month with the highest wordcount.

Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the New Year? In 2022 my goal was 200 words a day, which I absolutely did not meet.  For 2023, I think I’m going to excuse myself from numerical goals, but I really would like to finish at least one of the bigger stories that has been languishing in my Google Drive.

From my past year of writing, what was…

My best story of this year:  this is probably a tie between tippet-de-witchet and there’s one in every family, child (two in mine)—they both started with a very specific vision, and I think they both did what I intended for them to do.

My most popular story of this year:  definitely tippet-de-witchet!  Fandom likes dumb jokes and cunnilingus; news at 11.

Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion: I feel pretty appreciated, tbh!  Mostly I wrote weird niche shit and that’s fine by me.

Story with the single sexiest moment:  tippet-de-witchet, again.

Most “Holy crap, that’s wrong, even for you” story:  As last year, I don’t think anything I’ve written is particularly wrong OR particularly surprising. 

...maybe the spark before the dark, actually; that one did have a working title of 'bonefucking'.

Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: little & broken (but still good) was an interesting exercise in figuring out character voices!

Hardest story to write: This one is a tie!  One the one hand, history lesson [THREAD] fought me hard.  First I had to figure out the story I wanted to tell, which wasn’t easy—the canon has aged, uh, not particularly well, and it took me a while to find my angle for the story.  And then I had to figure out how to use work skins in order to make everything look right!  NIGHTMARE FUEL.

…on the other hand, I started writing there’s one in every family, child (two in mine) in two thousand and twenty, so.  

Most Unintentionally Telling Story: that there’s one in every family, child (two in mine) is less “telling” and more “ripped from the headlines of my life”, but, enh, potato, potato.

In conclusion:  Writing: it’s fun, apparently?  And I do in fact still have things to say even if I give myself a few months off.

My beta is calling us all out guys

[honorhearted]

She feels just like she did when she believed Selah to be dead. She's numb, void of all emotions as she's sick at the poor messenger's feet, pushing away from the young boy, wobbling on her feet as she stumbles back to her tent. She collapses on the bedding, the tears already spilling from her eyes before her head hits the pillow, and she manages to drift off to sleep, praying that when she wakes up, this will be revealed to be a bad dream. But when she wakes up, he's still gone; the news more sound than before; and now the only time her eyes stay dry is when she procures another bottle of gin, drinking another and another and another. (from Moll)

Congratulations on 2K followers! Could I request a ship for The Witcher, please? I am a female Hufflepuff who’s got autism and anxiety. I am straight (possibly demisexual). I am quite shy and quiet at first, but once I get to know you, I’m warm and friendly, though I do have a quick temper, like a fiery tiger, so be careful. I like photography, baking, reading FanFiction, cute animals (especially puppies) warm hugs, sunsets, chocolate, and music (especially Niall Horan and 60s/70s music like Queen and The Beatles) I am a hopeless romantic too! I am white with brown eyes and dark brown hair with natural copper highlights that’s jaw length in a wavyish sort of style. I like to wear comfy, simple clothing...♥️

hii, love!! I hope you like this 🥰💖

I ship you with... JASKIER

I have some suggestions to flesh out the cultures/world of Olden Town (if you haven't already thought of them or mentioned them)

Sports

Lullabies

Superstitions

Idioms/funny phrases

Birthday traditions

Games

YOU GOT ME GOING ANON!!!!! So I came up with Witchet, the fun sport that’s essentially magic free for all and Runelink, a game that can vary in size to a full field to a tabletop version that requires strategy and magic knowledge!! Also a fun swear word people use is replacing “bitch” with “witch-“ as the word “witch” has negative connotations in this world- magic users are either called just “magic users” or “magicians”

Also Emily is a jock

Leave Aragog alone, Geralt! He did nothing wrong!

please tell me I'm not the only person who thinks pressing down the left and right sticks on the ps4 controller feels disgusting. I hate it. I don't wanna do it. it feels horrible, it sounds really bad. please make it stop

i have nO idea what to do with my ryder

i got u friend we can work thru this here i’ll make a list of things rn

do u mean like for physical appearance or personality??

what kinds of physical characteristics have you never drawn?? or like to draw?

ie is there a certain body type you haven’t done that you want to explore

or certain facial features, or skin tones

hair is cool. out of any game w/ a character creator i’ve seen more ryders with bleached/dyed hair more than any other so if u want yours to stick out then keep it in mind (i say this as some1 w dyed hair who luvs cool colored hair)

what kinds of poses could u see them doing?? which is informed by personality

and in regards to personality

any emotional/moral questions u want to investigate w a character?? what Question do u want to explore? this is usually more for story characters but its interesting w RPG charas too

how are they different from ur other OCs??

again if u want to set ur charas apart from other ocs: from what ive seen, there are usually more goofy/””dorky”” fun OCs than others, but then again, that might be a bias of mine, bc i like making happy fun charas instead of tortured ones lol. i dont see as many unabashedly harsh OCs as often

U GOT SO MANY TYPES OF DYNAMICS TO LOOK AT BC RYDER SIBLINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE SHIT 

I DONT HAVE ANY IDEA HOW TO DEVELOP MY RYDER AT ALL YET EITHER LOL

October 2020 Event!

Last year, I had only two muses and did a Shattered Glass Event. This year, I’m doing another AU: Mythological Creatures!

Ratchet is a good witch! Come to him for potions or some magic!

Pharma is a vampire! He’ll try not to bite without permission, but no guarantees

Ambulon is a patchwork zombie! Unlike classic zombies, he’s not really rotting, nor after brains. He’s not as smart as he use to be, and is pretty slow in the head.

Rodimus Prime is La Catrina Ardiente

Hot Rod are a Werewolf! He howl and is the goodest boy

Wing is a Cervitaur (Half Mech/Half Stag)! He protects the wilds and is very knowledgeable in natural medicine and other spirits. He’s very gentle, but will not hesitate to harm you if you are damaging his forest

Vos is Satan himself! Are you ready for his judgment?

Forestock is a simple Daemon, yet to be promoted. Don’t mind the drool of energon of the damned.

SG Forestock is a ghoul! They just kinda... exist and growl and slobber. That’s about it.

SG Pharma/Phern is a mushroom spirit! Just a little mushy gal
