2023 in Mittens Fic

It's once again time for the annual accounting of things I have written! I think this year's total fic count, at 4, is my lowest ever, but I still managed more words than my two lowest years (peak pandemic, i loathe you still).

For reference, past year end summaries can be found here:

2022 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | 2018 | 2017 | 2016 | the closest thing I have to a 2015 wrap up post is the lil bit of text at the bottom of 2016′s post… even though my two most popular fics were from 2015 lololol

So I guess my main writing goal for 2024, since I know I will never surpass my 2015 totals, is to just do better than I did in 2023. Here's to more fic!

I managed a Pinefest fic, a fic I started for DCBB but didn't finish by the draft deadline and posted on my own, an annual destielversary fic, and an annual holiday fic. I think that's the bare minimum of what I try to aim for in a year, so even if I'm personally disappointed I didn't get anything else written in addition to that bare minimum, I'm glad I was at least able to hit that goal. Across this year's four posted fics, there's a total of 110,875 words.

Also, again slightly cheating, but since I've mentioned it for the past two years, I'm still making the @spngeorg podcast! In case the millions of words of meta I've written over the years aren't enough, and you want to hear me yell out loud about the show, you can start from the beginning on Spotify or wherever you enjoy podcasts! Or if that sounds daunting, since I just uploaded Episode 138, 7.12 Time After Time, which makes the backlog a lot to catch up on honestly, you're also welcome to just jump in now. Everyone please come yell with me! I swear, if you do start from the beginning, that I get dramatically better at this whole thing as we go on... at least, I think I have. If nothing else, episodes are far more manageably shorter now that I've developed a system. Only took 2 1/2 years, but here we are... :'D

With that business out of the way, let's break down those numbers! Presented in the order they posted:

Dear Western Red Cedar #2409 (63,433 words rated M) Written for @deancaspinefest with gorgeous art by @alexiescherryslurpy, and inspired by this tumblr post that had been plaguing my imagination for several years. It's a two person love triangle with Forest Ranger and secret bestselling author Dean and small town librarian Cas. Heck I want to go reread it just thinking about it now... this is a happy place fic for me.

one working part (40,051 words, rated E) I started this for DCBB, but failed to make the draft deadline, then finished it before posting began anyway... another canon finale fix-it fic, but this one is heavily It's A Wonderful Life flavored and based on a conversation I had with @greywrenn last year. This story picks up at the beginning of 15.19, and then slowly veers more and more from canon, running alongside canon and making rude hand gestures at canon along the way, because they all deserved to have nicer things than canon gave them.

all the time in the world (1,289 words, rated T) This is my annual Destielversary story, short and sweet. It's set immediately after the events of One Working Part, but you don't have to have read that to enjoy this one. Just know Cas is back with Dean, and they've got the rest of their lives stretched out in front of them.

Christmas, Present (6,102 words, rated T) My annual holiday fluff fic, this time set in an AU, since most of my past holiday fic has been canon universe. A Dean/Cas college AU, with Matchmaker Charlie who just wants her friends to be happy already!

And that's my year in fic (unless I manage to post something else in the next 33 hours or so, and lol no that ain't happening...)! As per usual, I've already written more than half of this year's word total for the 2024 Pinefest, which will post in March... or april... heck when is my posting date even... it's coming soon anyway! But it's all written! :'D

Once again, I've still got so many more stories I want to write. Even the To Be Written list has grown again. My idea list long ago surpassed SABLE status, and yet now there's even more on it...

It's five pages, and two thousand words longer than it was last year. this just gets worse every year :'D

But that means I'll never run out of things to write, and that's always something to celebrate!

Thanks again to everyone who’s read, kudos’ed, commented, reblogged, liked, rec’ed, and enjoyed anything I’ve written in the last year. I love you all. <3 See you in 2024!

[hallowthyname]

hey everyone happy destielversary i am losing my goddamn mind. ok???? ok. i had a whole fic thing planned it is not happening due to the dean and the cas are Not adhering to the expected narrative (should have seen this coming) anyway im losing my absolute mind over here i made a terrible horrible Discovery. once again i return to the 15.18 script: 

“still beautiful. still dean winchester.” we all know the one. in the REAL scene that aired live on television on the cw on november goddamn 5th there’s an ADDITIONAL line, between dean’s “she’s gonna kill you and then she’s gonna kill me” and cas’s “there’s one thing strong enough to stop her,” said by dean, and that’s: 

(credit to the wonderful @/winchestergifs for the very convenient gif) 

i’m not sure where i was going with this other than that A) jackles jacting joices were definitely made once again and B) this is making my silly little self-imposed tasks so much harder!

anyway. happy 5th i fucking guess

#supernatural #spn #destiel #november 5th #i'm losing my MIND there are so many larger more important things to worry about re: this scene but i keep getting stuck here. what was the #purpose what was the point he's APOLOGIZING and that was an ADDITION what happened to all the things that were REMOVED where did they GO

[lesbianshowercurtains]

happy destielversary I guess anyway here's a shitty unfinished poem about how I love my girlfriend but can't say it

I can see how our relationship will end already. I'm not communicating - like screaming in dreams, all that comes out is dust and quips.

I love you. I love being around you, I love hearing you speak. I love being let into your world. I love watching your hands - you have such nice hands - I love watching you work and stim and create. I love meeting your friends, I love seeing your room - a person lives in that room, a person I want to know and know and know.

I tell you I hate you between shuddering laughs and pray you understand. I hold you in my arms and let you in and hope you speak my language. Why should you have to learn a language for me? Why can't I scream?
