Yuletide

Man, I was absolutely certain that this fic was terrible and probably not to the recipient's taste, and that that wasn't just the usual post-finishing "this fic is terrible!" feeling, and then my recipient left a seven paragraph comment on how much they liked it and someone whose taste I respect recced it and maybe I should just stop trying to judge my own writing entirely. It is more poetic than I usually get, and I'm especially bad at judging my own poetry, so.

On AO3

And as of the end of 2017 I have posted 200 fics on AO3, with an average wordcount of just under 1500. Go me!

In 2017 I:

Wrote about 87 000 words (~25% of that in November)

Posted about half of those (and hit 200 posted works but not quite 300 000 words on AO3)

Participated in 10 different fandom challenges/exchanges/etc.

Read 72 books (including novel- and novella-length fanfics (~33%) and rereads (~25%), not including a whole bunch of shorter works and things I started but didn’t finish), and actually talked about some of them with people online

I am out doing family things today and for the rest of the week, so I may end up doing a recs post or something more when I’m back, or I may not.
