2020 Fanfic Year-End Summary-Type Thing
3/1/21 12:36 pmI posted 201,624 words of fanfic last year! This is. So much. This is the most I've ever written by far (almost 50,000 more than the previous record in 2019, and almost 100,000 more than the 3rd place finish in 2010). And I didn't post any fic until March. Once I got rolling I posted a lot of long fic, and also when quarantine hit I just started writing and posting a huge amount of porn to cope apparently. I also co-wrote a lot, so if we want to pick it apart some of this is definitely Dez's wordcount... but our process doesn't really allow you to say 'oh this scene is Nev and this scene is Dez' so we'll just have to share.
The wordcount breaks down into 26 stories: 5 stories/8,084 words of Yuletide and 23 stories/196,682 words of Transformers (those numbers overlap a bit - it's 98% Transformers fic this year). 105,452 words were in the Banners AU (52%), and 97,078 words were co-written with Dez (48%). We started co-writing in 2019 but MAN did that take off this year.
Incidentally, this was also the year of becoming better at twitter and discord and becoming friends with more people through fandom and fic! There were literally YEARS after Doctor Who fandom where I barely talked to fandom people besides posting fic and running away, and now I have people to talk about ideas and characters and watch things with again :)) It hasn't all been easy and drama-free, but it's been really nice to have so much online interaction in a year where real person interaction has been really limited.
Yearly questions and answers under the cut:
