2023 Fanfic Year-End Summary-Type Thing
21/8/24 02:52 pmThis is sooo belated. Usually I get the year-end summary out in January, maybe February - in 2016 I got it out in April and looking back this was a big sign of my bad mental health at the time. So, uhh. Hello. It is August. I'm feeling okay, actually! I was just totally unable to engage with most of my 2023 output until now.
I fell out of Transformers fandom really abruptly right at the end of last year and had this weird period of not wanting to engage with it at all - and because I've pretty much only been interested in Transformers and nothing else for a good five years I was like ??? what's going on? Am I having another depressive episode? But I have so much energy for playing music and learning Cantonese and doing fun things... Just not my main source of dopamine...
And then a couple months ago I got into Naruto and the writing energy was like HELLO I'M HERE. And I'm starting to enjoy engaging with Transformers again too :) So that's a story for next January, and in the meantime I'm feeling better able to contemplate this summary thing.
I posted 93,830 words of fanfic last year! Truly a lot of things until I hit that wall in December. This breaks down into 13 stories: 1 story/1,637 words of Yuletide, and 15 stories/92,193 words of Transformers. I also wrote, I have to say, a LOT of porn.
Yearly questions and answers under the cut. Note that as above, a lot of the fics linked are NSFW/adult.
