Fanfic Recap 2021
Jan. 8th, 2022 01:05 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
xancredibleI'll make a separate post for podfic again this year.
2016 a | 2016 b | 2016 c || 2017 || 2018 || 2019 || 2020
Given that I haven't published much (anything?) in terms of writing this year, these shouldn't be very different, but I'm-if nothing else-a completionist.
One thing to note: I am getting tired of seeing the same 10-15 works on all the lists, but unfortunately that's not something that's going to change unless I write more XD
Additional note: Since I keep stealing ideas fromnerakrose, I'll be using emoji to indicate fandom and rating from now on, to make the wall of text a little easier to navigate.

Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you'd predicted?
I think I wrote a little less than expected, simply because I thought I might write more for the DnD campaigns. I'm okay with that though.
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write most?
Original character ships from 2 DnD campaigns I'm in.
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January?
Nothing unsurprising this year again.
Did you take any writing risks this year?
None whatsover. All feels familiar except for how I'm writing original works, and a new fandom.
Do you have any fanfic or general writing goals for the new year?
No. I don't want to put any pressure or expectations on myself. Might be better to just see what happens.
From the past year of writing, what was your…

From the past year of writing, what was your…
- Best written story of this year: the space in my bed
- Most popular story of this year: the space in my bed
- Personal favourite: in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
- Most under-appreciated: they're all about the same, so none stands out as least loved
- Most fun to write: nothing in particular, unless I managed to publish the pwp that I've been writing mid-December
- Story with the single sexiest moment: in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
- Most "ha ha, I can’t believe I wrote this" story: i've been shaken, waking in the night light but only because I wasn't imagining hard enough that I'd write human/minotaur smut before
- Most challenging to write: i've been shaken, waking in the night light I wanted to keep it ambiguous as to the identity of the partner, as well as the shae of body of the protagonist.
- Favourite character to write: Yngvi. This man is so grumpy.
- Favorite opening lines: "Theo’s not entirely sure what it is about meeting Lord Dionysus that has him feeling like this." from i've been shaken, waking in the night light
- Favourite closing lines: "And maybe—maybe—there's hope for them after all." from in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
- Other favourite lines: Can't think of anything, to be honest.
- Most telling fic: i've been living but i was never breathing - I wrote another fic about a trans character and how feels about his body. Obviously it's a theme.
