My SanSan Year In Review (2023)

Another year of amazing SanSan shipping! This year was a very productive writing year on a lot of fronts, so I wanted to share my progress and give a sneak-peak of what's to come...

Previous Year In Reviews: 2020 | 2021 | 2022

⚡️ 2023 Highlights ⚡️

I hit my ten year anniversary of writing for SanSan in February. Here's to another decade of writing for this ship!

I finished Moonchild and Origins, two WIPs that'd been sitting unfinished for quite awhile.

I conceptualized, drafted, edited, and posted a multi-chapter fic, Devil Inside, within the span of nine months. A first for me!

✍️2023 Word Counts ✍️

Devil Inside: 117,765

Origins: 40,170

Moonchild: 21,619

Folktales: Limerence: 11,031

Total: 189,985 words

🔮 What’s on tap for 2024? 🔮

As I'm sure most of your know, I've turned Gods and Monsters into an original work, Bloodlines. The first novel is done and going through the last round of beta feedback before it's off to editors. In the meantime, I'm pulling together cover art concepts, back jacket copy, and all the requisite pieces for publication. I'm also working on the second book in the series.

My author website will go live once I set up my newsletter, which will provide monthly updates on progress, a sneak-peak of what's between the covers, cover art reveal, and so much more. I am getting my socials set-up under my pen name and will flag those soon. You'll be able to follow me on tumblr, instagram, and BlueSky.

🤞My biggest (writing) priority in 2024🤞

Probably goes without saying that Bloodlines is the top priority. I'm planning an early 2025 release date, but more to come on that. I may dabble in SanSan throughout the year and would love to make some progress on Spellbound, but we shall see how the year plays out.

In the meantime, you can keep up with me and so many other amazing SanSan shippers in the SanSan Writers Guild Discord server! It's a blast over there, so feel free to join us!

✨ Onwards ever, backwards never ✨

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

can you believe that we have fanfiction. that we have websites dedicated to fanfiction. that there is a place that you can go and read tens, hundreds, thousands and thousands of pieces of writing that strangers have made. people who are not "writers". people who come home at the end of the day and have feelings and say, i am going to put that into words. i am going to share those words. short, long, sweet, sad, horny, funny, wonderful words. we are all just human and we all love to make and remake and share that with others. can you believe that.

#ao3 #archive of our own #fanfiction #sometimes i can't even believe how much i myself have written. like i think i am not a writer. i am not doing enough. i do not write enough #and i look back and i have 34 (34!!) works on ao3 and reams of unpublished work on my computer and so long left to live. so i think #we will be okay. #writing

There's discussion in one of the fandom spaces I lurk in about how abandoned fanfic is free game for other writers to finish. I might be a fandom crone but that's like horribly disrespectful, right? Or am I crazy/out of touch?

I was shocked at how many people agreed with this take or at least said, yeah it's best to get the authors permission but that since we're all writing fanfic and don't own anything, the author would be an asshole to get upset if someone finished their fanfic for them.

I'm sitting here looking at my fics I haven't updated in forever like...do I leave them up or take them down? Is this a new fangled trend I dont know about?

Hi Nonny! 

No, you are NOT crazy. Since I’m only active in the SanSan fandom, I’m not sure how widely this has come up in other fandoms. 

As you say, it'd be supremely disrespectful to the writer and the very least someone should do is ask that writer for permission. Also, there’s an orphan feature on AO3 for a reason. It's the writer's choice if they want to orphan their fics or leave them abandoned.

As someone who finished a seemingly abandoned fic, I would have been LIVID if someone took it upon themselves to finish my fics while I was on hiatus.

This attitude reeks of entitlement. Readers are not entitled to anything, including completed fics. It’s extra shitty for someone to even consider finishing someone else’s work without asking because, “You don’t ‘own’ your fic. You can't be mad if I take it and run with it.” 

No. Fuck anyone who holds this opinion. Fuck them in no uncertain terms. Fuck them ungently with a chainsaw (that's a "Heathers" reference).

Fanfiction is a labor of love. A fanfic author’s stories are their creations, full stop.

Has anyone else heard of this take? I hope this isn't a new fandom trend...

Reblog for a larger sample size!

No "show results", if you're not a fanfic writer just be patient.

I saw a post about an anon saying it was embarrasing to have an ao3 account in your 30s (it's absolutely not), so I want to do a poll and see what the age range actually is.

Embrace the cringe.

Write weird fanfic.

One of the hardest parts of writing gay anything is that they (often) use the same pronouns. Balancing names and pronouns so that I'm not overusing either of them is maybe THE hardest part of writing for me, because if you use 'he' too many times in a row you'll lose track of who's doing what, but too many names is repetitive and awkward to read!

Please, for the love of god, please don’t be this person. No matter how long it’s been since an update, no matter how many unfinished stories are sitting on their account, no matter what - do not be this person.

Not only is it insanely rude, but you also do more damage than you think be being such a self-entitled ass about something someone created for free and for fun. “This author” can see what you say.

RIP decency indeed.
