We are back from the Giant Family Christmas Week of Doom (it wasn't bad, there was just ... a lot of it) and I have slept for nine hours and started the laundry and paid bills and done various other back-home things (and, halfway through this post, eaten lunch) and am therefore free to spam your reading page.

Not sure how much I wrote in 2018 in terms of numbers, but I wrote more than 300 words on 1/3 of the days. And probably over 60 000 words total.

Hit 150 000 hits and 1000 comment threads on AO3, and posted my longest single work to date.

Read 120 books (including novel- and novella-length fanfics, which this year made up about 2/3 of the total. Which I am okay with - this is because I have been reading on my laptop while knitting, which is great). And more than doubled the percentage of works by authors of colour from last year, mostly because of Silk, though the hard numbers are still kind of embarrassing.

Speaking of which:
I would like to read more works by authors of colour. I have been reading a lot of fanfic. Putting these together, I am soliciting recs for fanfic authors of colour (who, obviously, are comfortable with the internet knowing that), preferably but not necessarily Marvel.

To start, [archiveofourown.org profile] gsparkle writes great detective AUs and Natasha!fic.

In other news, the Three Sentence Ficathon is still going on, and I have written some things and may write more; I'm not quite sure what to do with them after, though. I'm fine with posting drabbles on AO3 but some of these are shorter than drabbles and also very casually tossed off. So your thoughts appreciated.

Congratulations on your writing awesomeness! And on making it through the holidays with family. That can be draining even if it isn't terrible.

As for recs, if you haven't already met through one or another of the various Sherlock Holmes fandoms, I can happily recommend [archiveofourown.org profile] PhoenixFalls, who self-describes as mixed race and has some amazing MCU fics, many of which feature either Tony/Rhodey (sometimes with Pepper too!) or f/f pairings.

Meanwhile, I love a good Natasha-centric story, so I'll have to check out [archiveofourown.org profile] gsparkle's work!
