2022 Writing (Year in Review)

This year, I posted 90k words on AO3. This is just 15k short of what I posted last year (maybe highadrenalineexchange being moved to spring accounts for the difference?), and again more than I planned!

I kind of categorize my AO3 works as "for exchanges" or "for myself". Before checking, I had thought I'd written literally nothing in the latter category this year, but it turns out they were only clustered towards the beginning of the year, before I fell into the exchange hole again, haha. I'll once again express my faint goals to dial it back on exchanges this coming year. I have a WIP that I didn't update in all of 2022 (sorry, readers!), and there are always personal projects that I keep saying I will work on too!

On the other hand, I've enjoyed participating in exchanges very much, including the opportunity to write for fandoms and pairings I would never have otherwise considered. I also have a better sense of what kind of exchanges I'm likely to enjoy, so I hope I'll still be able to participate responsibly.

( Stats and Q&A )

Snowflake Challenge 1: Fandom Information

• Transformative Works Policy: [what is it, where is it posted] It's at my AO3 Profile, and it says that anything is okay, as long as you link me!


• Current Passion [not necessarily fandom or fannish, but anything that takes up your time and thoughts - e.g. knitting, interpretive dance, meta about a movie that doesn't exist, or you know, one that does] I'm currently crocheting my very first scarf, I am writing a lot of fic and participating in a lot of AO3 exchanges (just finished my Writing Year in Review), and I play too much Genshin Impact (currently obsessed with the TCG). The most recent books I finished reading are Piranesi and Nona the Ninth. The most recent video game I finished playing is 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim (highly highly recommend). I also think a lot about and devote a lot of time and energy to work, but that's not what we're about here.


• Where to Find Me: [what platform do you use the most, or what platform do you use for different purposes?] yelp is my primary platform. I reblog stuff at yelpfic, self-promote, and feel like I've found a good Eyeshield 21 community there. I am trying to write more longform entries here on DW as well, like writing meta, screaming about exchanges, etc.


• Master List: [for fic, for art, for recs, or anything else] yelp has all my fic, and I try to maintain a list of my favorites of what I've written, but I don't update it often.


• Anything Else: [anything else you'd like to include] I somehow wandered into helping out with comments on challenge #1, but never got around to doing challenge #1 myself. So here it is!
