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.

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.

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.

works published this year:

• P versus NP, red vs. blue, wash/maine, 22,876/62,814 words, in progress
• albedo, destiny, shin/drifter, 4886 words, complete
• convergence, destiny, shin/drifter, 4007 words, complete
• one step ahead of a losing game, destiny, shin/drifter, 6393 words, complete

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).

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