Fandom Year in Review (2022)

It’s the very last day of 2022, and that means it’s time for a little look back at my fandom year in writing (and podficcing, events, etc.) once again! Then I’ll get back to writing before midnight, along with setting some goals and plans for 2023, of course. ;)

I posted 163 new stories to AO3 this year!

(Startlingly, as I had entirely forgotten, I also posted exactly 163 new stories to AO3 in 2021! o.o)

Those 163 stories were for 17 fandoms, 3 of them new for me to be posting for, and 50 ships! (18 of those ships were new.)

I posted a total of 377,979 words to AO3 this year!

I participated in 8 fandom events, with a total of 73 stories! Those events include:

Iruka Winter Bingo 2021-2022 (server event, @the-umino-hours) the Three Sentence Ficathon, over on Dreamwidth (moving to its own community for next year!) @harunosakuraweek @domaystic @badthingshappenbingo, which I will continue working on my board for @kakashiweek @whumptober, for which I wrote only minifics this year NejiHina Week (run by @nejihinata)

(And I don’t count my personal project the Valentine’s Spectacular in this list.)

I also ran 3 events - @harunosakuraweek in its second year and @kakashiweek in its third, as well as the second year of Iruka Winter Bingo!

~

In those new stories I added 5 new minific collections:

Labyrinth - gen Labyrinth - Jareth/Sarah Labyrinth - Jareth/Toby Naruto - KakaShisui Tiger & Bunny - Keith/Agnes

247 minifics posted this year, to my now 22 collections of sme, account for 67,807 words of my total.

. . .and that’s my look back at my year in fandom (on AO3, at least)! I tried out some new things, fell into some very unexpected new things, rediscovered fondness for some old ones, and had a lot of fun!

Of course I’ve many more things in the works, as always, so keep an eye out - I’ll be back on AO3 next year, and I’m sure as heck not going anywhere!

Happy New Year!

[I'm finally back home]

May NejiHina Week 2021 begin!

@nejihinata

Prompts used: ANBU and Reunited

Sudden, fast and experimental work in every sense.

I had 3 ideas for this pose, but collectively it was decided to beat everything under the ANBU prompt, and I don't mind, bc drawing Neji in this design is my guilty pleasure (// ω //)

The concept of returning home does not let me go, probably because of Neji's tragic story in canon and because of the huge amount of fan works where the characters, one of or both die, I really want to give these two a happy ending in every art I draw. They deserve it =3=

Here, I imagined that Neji went on a mission, and his squad was ambushed, and the situation escalated into a carnage.

Perhaps this is an alternative ending to the Noblesse Oblige fanfic, where the survivors from the squad eventually returned, and Neji was among them.

Hinata, who, having received alarming news, did not sleep, refusing to believe that he would not return, rushes to him, cuddling, despite the dirt, blood on his clothes. She is close to crying, but, probably, there are no more tears left, or she is already used to keeping everything to herself, so she just hugs him to feel that this is not a dream, that he is real, that he is back. And Neji, in response, gently draws her to him, touches her soft hair with his fingers, gently sorts it over and breathes in such a familiar scent he missed so much.

He whispers something soothing, maybe some nonsense to distract her, but he knows perfectly well that he really could not return. And that every time, leaving for a mission, he says goodbye to her like the last time for a reason.

By the way, I don't even know if they are in a romantic relationship here 👀 After all it doesn't matter. It seems to me that regardless of their status, they are very close and dear to each other. So imagine what you want X)

I still think that Neji, like any other member of the Hyuga clan, has nothing to do in ANBU, they have a lot to do at home, but I really like drawing this look on him, and my brain just comes up with such short plots, probably helps me immerse myself in what I draw x)

My main focus right now is my NaNoWriMo project (a Madara-centric wing AU, I anticipate it being 50-65k somewhere, most likely - the first book in the trilogy was 62k) but I am also working on some side stories as I go. . .

Like starting to poke at things for @nejihinata‘s NejiHina Week! X3

Here’s a snippet from my story for the Day 6 prompt Moonlit. . .

Hinata brushed through the tall sunflowers, feeling the tickle of their petals, then landed lightly. The barely audible thud of paws was her only warning before the moonlight was blotted out briefly by the silhouette of the wolf soaring over her in an easy leap.

He skidded just a little as he turned back towards Hinata, and she released her broom, taking the few steps to meet him.

His eyes glowed in the light of the moon, as blank white as her own and stark against his dark fur. Then he closed them as he nudged his muzzle along her shoulder, and Hinata threw her arms around him, pressing even closer with a shiver.

“Oh . . . I missed you.” Hinata said softly, burying her fingers in his fur with a gentle stroke.

He shook himself in her embrace, gentle enough not to throw off her arms, and then his own arms were wrapping around Hinata in return, drawing her in close against a warm, bare chest. Hinata shivered again, this time for a different reason, drawing one hand back to let her fingers skim over his skin.

The prompt just left me with the image of a great black wolf with Hyuuga eyes. . . I had to indulge with a fantasy AU. ;)

Central Point

Written for @nejihinata​‘s NejiHina Week - First Love!

T; 1.7k Neji/Hinata, Team Gai

Team Gai know almost everything of importance about each other already, and what they don't . . . they're willing to share with one another. A conversation between friends turns to love and defining devotion.

I’m busily trundling along with my main NaNo project and, of course, KakaSaku minifics, and works for @nejihinata‘s NejiHina Week!

Here’s a peek at another of my works for that - my current WIP, for Touch Starved on Day 5:

“I . . . appreciate your worry.” Neji said almost stiffly, looking away, and for a moment Hinata wondered if he was trying to politely put her off, send her away, but. . .

Neji’s cheeks pinked faintly, and Hinata’s heart fluttered. She brought his hand up and kissed his battered knuckles, rubbing her cheek against them gently as Neji’s head jerked back around towards her, his eyes wide.

“I could not have . . . not come.” Hinata admitted, feeling her own cheeks warm and her stomach squirm a little. She tucked her knees closer together, focusing on the firm pressure, and held Neji’s hand in her own, his forearm resting against her. It was. . .

Hinata felt slightly shaken, and tried not to hold on to him too tightly, even as the warmth of his arm against her body seemed to burn right through her, his hand curled around her own impossibly strong, her mind fixed on the feeling.

Neji’s fingers flexed slowly, and Hinata could feel the shift of his forearm against her, realising belatedly she had tucked his arm between her breasts, holding it tightly. Her face warmed further, but she didn’t release him. He didn’t pull away, either, even as his fingertips brushed Hinata’s collarbone just above the thick collar of her jacket and beneath her loose hitai-ate.

“I appreciate your presence, too.” Neji said almost wryly, and Hinata pressed her lips together, momentarily uncertain. She petted his hand almost cautiously, and Neji shifted weakly, grimacing in pain.

I have 5 works complete for NejiHina Week already, and I’m quite enjoying the mostly soft and hurt/comfort feels I’m turning out for it thus far~

Needed Care (but for whom?)

Written for @nejihinata​‘s NejiHina Week - Day 5: Touch Starved!

T; 2.5k Neji/Hinata

Neji has been badly injured on the battlefield, and while he will recover, Hinata cannot but go to him in her worry - though perhaps Neji is not the one who most needs this time, this quiet closeness between them.

T; 1.5k Neji/Hinata

Hinata is glad to be needed on duty as part of the support teams called up to aid the iryou nin at the front lines, if only for the chance to search out her most precious person and be with him once more.

History Unrepeated

Written for @nejihinata​‘s NejiHina Week - Day 2: Never Again!

T; 1.3k Neji/Hinata

Hinata is determined that their clan will not repeat the mistakes of their past, determined to undo as much as she can of their ugly history. Neji is very proud of her . . . but mostly he would like her to be kind to herself in the process as well.

Day 2: flaw

They both have flaws. They both were willing to make their amends. I think they fix their relationship flaws with gold. And it got better than the perfection.

Watercolor and golden acrylic ink on paper.

Day 7: fireworks

Hinata didn’t see the fireworks again. Now, it was for a very good reason :)

Sorry for skipped the days 5 and 6. I had been in a huge art block so there weren’t many ideas. I hope to do more from now on. I really enjoyed to do this art (actually this fanart was one of the firsts ideas and I got excited about the process ^^).

I hope to join fully on NejiHina Summer Week next year. I really enjoyed staying back and making nejihina art again. Thank you, Sei, for this amazing event!
