#writing milestone

[bellaxgiornata]

YOU GUYS!!! I DID IT! I HAVE WRITTEN AND PUBLISHED OVER ONE MILLION WORDS ON AO3!!!

I have been on AO3 almost 1 year and 1 month now and my initial goal was to reach that milestone before one year once I realized how close I was, but it took me a few weeks past that. But holy hell. I have written SO much and I can't even believe it. And most of that is juat Matt Murdock fics 😅 Y'all I am not okay when it comes to him. Clearly.

Okay, but now I'm wondering how long before I reach two million words?

I DID IT. I FINISHED WRITING MY WHOLE STORY DRAFT. 33 CHAPTERS+THE PROLOUGE AND EPALOUGE

AND I ACCIDENTALLY FORSHADOWED STUFF AND IT FITS TOGETHER SO PERFECTLY

I ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING

[mercuryytheraven]

You guys.

HOLY FUCK.

I haven’t written anything substantial since 2018. For SIX YEARS I’ve picked up and immediately set aside story ideas because I couldn’t garner the motivation to see any of them through. For fuck’s sake, I started SEVENTY-FIVE STORIES in TWO YEARS, all but three of which never made it past a couple hundred words. Some were barely more than a few sentences.

But today, with the lovely @goodluckclove’s help, I reached 1,000 words on the remake of the very first fic I ever finished.

I cannot believe the progress I’ve made in these short days, and I can’t wait for what’s in store. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Clove.

Hey, writer! Yeah, you! Don’t forget to take a break! See this as your sign to treat yourself to something!

Happy writing!

Thank you to everyone who helped get Synchronize to 300 kudos!

This may seem like nothing, but that’s my second-highest number of kudos of all my stories, which I’m proud of since it’s only been around ~12 months, and I’ve had a very rough time, health wise, the last few years.

If you enjoy emotional hurt/comforf, I think you’ll really enjoy the story if you haven’t read it yet.

You can read ch 1-7 on AO3.

As you may know, I crosspost my fics to AO3. According to their stats I have now written over 475k of fics/drabbles 😮

This upcoming weekend marks 18 months since I started writing fanfiction for the first time! (yes, a late bloomer lol and no, I don’t understand why my brain chose Bridgerton to be the thing that started it lol). Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be able to make it to half a million words by Sunday lol, but I should do so way before the 2 year mark, hopefully before 2023 year end!🤞

I will definitely hit it with my upcoming writing slate, which you can always see on my WIPs page.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for reading my fics and following me on this little adventure 🫶😁🧡🧡

[writingwritewrite-storymaker]

Yo I wrote 12 pages (roughly 6.5k) today are you proud of me

I am very proud of you *forehead kiss*

[mx-myth]

I've finally hit 20k on the amnesia!dfs au... this is the most I've ever written ever. The me of years ago couldn't even dream of this. I'm so happy.

[erraticprocrastinator]

I passed 50k hits on AO3 today.

Yes, I know this isn't a lot to some people. But it means a freaking lot to me. 50,000 is a lot to me. That's over three times the population of my town, two thousand times the number of people in my graduating class, ten thousand times the number of years I've been posting. Especially considering that none of my fics are astronomically popular, this is huge for me. My thirteen year old self staying up until 3AM to finish their angsty little fics would never have dreamed of making it this far. So to everyone who's ever clicked on one of my stories, even by accident, thank-you. You've made my day.

[aleheartilly]

And now, let's celebrate the total hits milestone: I reached 7500 total hits on AO3!

Thanks everyone for helping me reach this accomplishment ❤️❤️

With the darling @grimgrinningghost456 joining ao3 last night, I somehow achieved another milestone this year: 100 user subs to my profile

Honestly, this feels just wild to me. If i think back to me first posting DS 2021, i gained about 7 user subs in that half year. 25 in 2022. And now 100 in 2023. It feels surreal to know that one hundred people like my work enough to subscribe to me, no matter what I post. I thank each and every one of you, it means so much to me 🖤

In order to celebrate, feel free to drop me some prompts or asks in my inbox - I should get back to pumping out content in October as usual! I love you all!

[breannasfluff]

Not bad for the year so far!

[miqolena]

The Seduction of Gaius Baelsar hit 505k words today. Half a million!

It doesn't feel like I've written half a million words. But then again, I can't even conceive of that number when I think about it. If I try to picture half a million apples or half a million pushpins I simply can't. At least with this I can click "display entire work" on Ao3 and get a sense of the magnitude of what I've done.

I'm very happy. I've done so much with what I love and I don't plan on stopping at all. I'm going to keep writing for Gaius/Lena and do what I love and I hope others will enjoy it too.

Thank you to all my readers and friends. Me and Gaius and Lena will see you in the next chapter.

I’ve officially written over 10,000 words for Be He Foe or Friend!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[uwudonoodle]

[aria-benedetto]

[image description: A screenshot with the words: Ausgewählt: 19.261 Wörter, 105.335 Zeichen]

At over 19 thousand words, this is now officially my longest piece of writing, beating my bachelor's thesis at over 17 thousand words by a significant amount.

*cheers*
