pretty writing-light year for me, not entirely sure why; so it goes, though, i guess. i wrote a lot in both 2020 and 2021 so i suppose it's natural to have a bit of a fallow year. and what a way to end the year too — S11 au sequel cooking in the oven. i may never actually be free of that goddamn show.

this total word count is off on account of the posted works; i have no clue how to count the rewritten chapter for S11 au. in terms of net word count, S11 au as a whole gained 4,005 words - but almost the entirety of this chapter was rewritten from the ground up. my total word count for the chapter was 43,740, according to AO3, so i whacked 2k off of that as a very generous estimate of the words or phrases here and there that i left intact.
in any case: 7 individual works posted/updated in 2021 across 4 fandoms! deets under the cut.

and the usual end-of-year meme! as with every year i've done this, i'm defining "successful" as "achieving what i wanted to achieve" rather than any kind of numbers metric.

whew. probably the most i've ever written in a year. probably definitely because of S11 au.
once again, writing sprints were hugely, hugely helpful for me this year. so was physical note-taking, especially for the two longer fics i wrote this year. i am definitely going to keep doing that in the future.
i posted more individual works this year than i ever have, clocking in at 12. the next closest year was 2012 with 7 works, and some of those were cross-posts, iirc. anyways, down to the nitty-gritty – list of works under the cut.

finally jarred something loose in me today with dndfic. sprinted with kei afterwards, wrote 423 words where i'd been able to do zero for months, and decided to finally start pulling endgame bits from my doc full of fragments.
while i'm at it with year-end things, time for numbers!
word count for posted works: 38,162
as far as unposted writings, i'm not 100% sure on my word count – from a cursory look through my docs full of fragments, i've got 20,062 words, 14,131 of which is in my working doc for S11 au. so all together, about 58k words written this year! which feels like both A Lot and Not.

i did this over on twitter, but i wanted to expand on some of these answers as i crosspost so here we go! original post via tumblr.
( onwards! )
boy, i burned myself out so bad. so so so bad. i'm still gonna leave off working on it for a while, but i'm back to the point now where i'm kinda ambiently thinking about it - half-daydreaming out small things here and there, etc. i figured out how i want to do a Big Moment in a way that feels natural for everyone involved, and i'm really itching to write it. i'm planning on just dumping it into a note on my phone so that i don't feel like i've got to, like, immerse myself back in the meat of the fic, and now that i'm writing this out i'm really really itching to do it.
other than that, the plan for easing back into this fic is gonna be to get down some notes on paper - first write down what i remember as being the big relevant plot points, then write up a completely fresh set of notes for moving forward, without consulting old notes. and then i'll go back and pick through the doc.
that being said, destiny's new season launches on tuesday and that absolutely has wild-card potential to derail me entirely and spawn some fic, so we'll see (and honestly... here's hoping it burns enough of a hole in me to want to write more fic).
well, it's very last-minute, but i decided to try writing (and writing down) at least something every day this month in the general vague spirit of nano. no specific word count or completion goal or anything, just Write Something As In Literally Anything every day and try to do sprints at least a few times a week. i'll update this post daily with what i managed to get done.
AAAAAAND DONE!!
total word count for the month: 11,154!

ha... hoo. oh boy, this faux nano thing does not work for me.
