2021 Fic Year in Review

Total # of Completed Works: 8! which is a little mind-blowing

Total Word Count: if just completed works it's 62,723 but if including wips, i ended the year with 73,998 words in total

Fandoms I've Written In: The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett

Looking Back, Did You Write More Fic Than You Thought You Would This Year, Less, Or About What You’d Expected?: well considering this was the first year i wrote fic in about 7 or so years, uh, i'd have to say i wrote a lot more than i expected, lol

What's Your Own Favorite Story: you know i'm not entirely sure, i really enjoyed writing all of them but i think if i had to pick it would have to be the one that started it all and got me back into writing which would be Relief in Sharp Lines

Did You Take Any Writing Risks This Year?: oh i dont really think so? like i said this was me writing for the first time in several years after a, uh, unfortunate experience being made fun of for my writing so just writing again at all was a risk! (but also now that i think of it the, ah, few nsfw fics i wrote could be called a risk cause i had legit never ever written nsfw before)

Do You Have Any Fanfic Or Profic Goals For The New Year?: ah! just to write and to get things finished and not let them sit for forever. but to also not get mad at myself when things do take some time. having to write a lot for school/work is something i have to realize makes it hard to write for fun and balancing the two. but ALSO to get the western au to a point where i can start publishing chapters!

Most Popular Story Of The Year?: oh that was definitely I Want Us to Eat Well! that fic is my most well-performing for being one of my shortest fics. (i'm hoping to do a follow-up to it for the bobadin valentine's event. hopefully!)

Story Of Mine Most Under-Appreciated By The Universe, In My Opinion: oh i don't know, im always trying to not overthink how much my fic gets read or gets kudos and just enjoy the process. (but also maaaaybe A Marshal of Restraint cause i put way too much effort into writing that one and i KNOW there's too much exposition for a nsfw fic but)

Most Fun Story To Write: again, i don't know. i really enjoyed writing all of them! but i think the one i really had fun with and let it flow as it wanted was The Maker Won't Mind. it was very self indulgent and sometimes i worry it's too ooc but i just want the boys to have soft things

Most Unintentionally Telling Story: Baatir! no doubts about that one. i gave all of my chronic pain and mental health issues to boba and din and really went 'if i dont have someone to take care of me then at least the boys fucking will'

Biggest Disappointment: i'd say either not being able to get a fic out for each day of the bobadin weeks/events or not getting the western au to a good point, it's kind of stagnated but i love the idea so much and really want to work on it

Biggest Surprise: writing again AT ALL! im so thankful for everyone in the bobadin server who was so kind and helpful and cheered me on while i was starting to write again and all the lovely people who beta read for me and yeah, it's been wonderful.

many thanks, love, and hugs to @coffeequill for the tag
