Black Rose

I wrote 10 fics in 2023, which is a respectable 4+ over 2022. My expectations were sky high as always, and I failed to meet them as always, but it wasn't a bad turnout. I wrote only for exchanges, seven of them: six that I posted one fic for (one treat, three pinch hits, two proper assignments), and Battleship AKA exchanges georg. I wrote four fandoms for the first time, including two that I consumed specifically for a pinch hit.

In 2020, I published 6 fics (5 exchange assignments + 1 mini bang). Although I liked most of what I wrote, I was disappointed that I didn't write any of the ships or kinks I'd been most excited about that year, and that aside from the bang, all I'd written was exchange assignments.

In 2021, I published 18 fics (plus 2 cracky fandom spreadsheets) across 9 exchanges. For me personally, 2021 was even more bonkers and unsettling than 2020, which resulted in ten rabid obsessive fandom hyperfixations in 2021 (I usually average 1-3 a year at most).

My 2021 fandom goals were more complex than I feel like going through, but my overall goal was to write more things purely for the joy of writing, which I definitely accomplished. I wrote an average of over 2 fics per exchange, I wrote at least six of my weirdest niche kinks, and I wrote some ultraviolent Reylo femdom. I'm pretty satisfied.

Now for my 2021 works (not counting my EAD Birthday Bash spreadsheets) and a fic meme:

Some 2022 fandom goals:

-Don't sign up for any traditional exchanges, especially full-length freeform exchanges

-Write and post two fics outside of an exchange

-Complete some of the media I'm halfway through so I can fandom without fear of spoilers

-Write some of the ships/characters I'm most inspired by while the inspiration is still fresh

I have nothing clever to say, so here's a meme.

What I wrote in 2020:

Fun Size, G, Bon Appetit Test Kitchen RPF, Brad Leone/Claire Saffitz, ~800 words

You're Twisting My Melon, Man, E, Oasis RPF, Liam Gallagher/Noel Gallagher, ~1300 words

Nighthawks, T, Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, Poe Dameron/Rey, ~1700 words

Sorry Boy, I've Been Hit By Purple Rain, E, Guardians of the Galaxy (Movies), Peter Quill/Yondu Udonta, ~1800 words

Tricycles, E, Bandom, Patrick Stump/Mikey Way/Pete Wentz, ~9600 words

Black Rose, E, The Terror (TV), Cornelius Hickey/Thomas Jopson, ~500 words

6 works posted, down from 12 in 2019. I only posted fic for exchanges (and one bang), and I only posted one work for every exchange/bang I signed up for (I picked up a pinch hit, but it was for an exchange I didn't sign up for so I count it as 1 fic per signup). I wrote no explicit het this year (which means no femdom), and wrote a lower percentage of het overall. I also wrote in 6 different fandoms, two of which I've never written before!
