2011 year-end fanfic summary type thing
2/1/12 05:22 pmSo, this was my second year posting fanfiction on the internet! This year was a good year - I wrote a lot of fic that is pretty okay, and I got way more involved in the people side of fandom, possibly. I joined rewatches, and chatted with people, and met people who I had only known on the internet! And then I rediscovered that a lot of my stress-related social anxiety is focused on non-face-to-face interactions, particularly interacting with people via the internet. And then I got way less involved. So. A year of self-rediscovery, haha!
The (now-annual) numbers:
I wrote and posted 97,582 words of fanfic this year. That breaks down into 35 stories (which includes commentfic and everything). Out of that, all but one or two were written for prompts. I'd feel iffy about that, but this was also the year where I used prompts more as jumping-off points, rather than looking for closely defined prompts. It seemed to work pretty well!
Out of the prompted stories, 1 was for an asexuality prompt, 4 were best_enemies drabbles, 11 were for yuletide, 4 were for other exchanges, 11 were for the best_enemies anonmeme, and 2 were for other anonmemes. (I've owned up to all but 2 anonymous fics - I should write more, I'm catching up.)
All told, it's about 12,000 words less and 13 stories less than last year. Mostly the lower story count comes from a severe shortage of commentfic/drabbles. I should get back on those, I like them. The lower word count, I'm not sure about, but it's not like a huge drop or anything. I also had a pretty even split between Doctor Who and other fandoms, this year: I wrote 53,655 words for Who and 43,927 for other fandoms. Less mono-fannishness was something I aimed for last year, but I didn't think about it when it was happening. I think I just got more confident about writing in other sources.
Last year this was all I did, but I saw aralias and tweedymcgee with this fanfic meme, and thought "why yes, I do like typing out long commentaries that I can read next January, I should do that."
( it's under this cut )
