Black Rose

I said in my summer in fandom wrap-up that Battleship was too girthy to be contained in a quarterly fandom update, so here it is on its own, six months after Battleship (oops).

I wrote 8 fics for Battleship this year, which is the most I've ever posted to AO3 for a single round of an event (I wrote 7 fics for Bandom Bingo 2017, and 6 for We Die Like Fen: Time Loop in 2021). I knew I was in a productive writing period when I signed up, which is why I decided to break my yearly goal of not signing up for Battleship. It was not as stressful as my previous Battleship experiences, for reasons I accurately predicted at the end of this post: there weren't any super frustrating game mechanics, my teammates weren't too annoying, I had an excess of creative juice and kept all my fics (relatively) short, and I got to use my favorite Battleship team discord nickname (darkrosalava for Volcano Team, second only to Forest Team's darkrosaleaf).
