bay_alexisonHiya, so it's been a while! So last time I posted an entry here was 5 or so years ago? During that time I've been mostly active on Tumblr and Twitter, and whenever I come here it's mostly lurking and commenting on other entries. I miss Dreamwidth (and in extension LJ), so I might be semi active here again.
To start off this year two fanfic/AO3 memes. I've been writing quite a bit! Back in 2017 I started a Pokemon fic called Foul Play which is based off Sun/Moon and Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon games and about two NPCs, Nanu and Grimsley, interacting. I have 26 chapters posted so far, with Chapters 19-26 posted last year. I then got myself into another fandom, Fire Emblem: Three Houses (or FE3H for short). So yeah, some context before I start off the meme
AO3 END OF YEAR MEME

Personal favourite from this year: Overnight Stay
Honourable Mention: The Lone Wolf and the Reclusive Bear. My first FE3H fic, which I wished receive some reception but otherwise I enjoyed writing it a lot.
YEAR IN FANFIC 2020
Total word count: 162,567
Fandoms written in: Pokemon, FE3H.
Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d predicted? I wrote somewhat more in 2020 than in 2019.
What’s your own favorite story of the year? Maybe Overnight Stay, though the Poni Island arc of Foul Play is a close second.
Did you take any writing risks this year? Wrote for a new fandom and did explicit writing for the first time in three/four years.
Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the New Year? Hopefully to finally finish Foul Play this year. Maybe a few FE3H fics if my muses are inspired.
My best story of this year: If by kudos, then Foul Play.
My most popular story of this year: Again, Foul Play. Otherwise, Overnight Stay and Head Over Heels For You both tied for second most kudos.
Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion: The Lone Wolf and the Reclusive Bear. I actually loved writing it, but didn't get any feedback except from my beta lol.
Most fun story to write: The Lone Wolf and the Reclusive Bear. I wrote 6K of it within 5 days.
Story with the single sexiest moment: Head Over Heels For You. The second half of the fic, oh yeah there's spice ho ho.
Hardest story to write: At the Pokemon Daycare. The beginning was slightly a drag and I was trying to find a medium to summarize the beginning events of Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver without too much infodump.
Biggest Surprise: I posted 5 FE3H fics, which is a surprise to me! Also At the Pokemon Daycare ending up being 6K lol.
Story/stories I haven’t yet written, but intend to: I have like several FE3H ideas I want to write I don't know where to start lol.
