2019 Writing Year in Review
Jan. 5th, 2020 11:40 amIs the fifth too late to do this? Probably.
My overall word count was up from last year, but still definitely lower than previous years since I was bitten again by the fannish bug. Most of my writing was for challenges or exchanges, and so things were longer, but there were fewer things--I'm finding it increasingly difficult to write just for kicks, without something I'm supposed to do. Just feeling discouraged about the lack of engagement.
February:
The Smart Set An AU of the Katharine Hepburn-Spencer Tracy movie Desk Set, written for the Stucky AU Big Bang, with Steve in the Hepburn role and Bucky in the Tracy one.
May:
Cellies I accidentally picked a Loki/Bucky drawing for the Captain America Reverse Big Bang, but it ended up being hella fun to write and the artist did an additional piece for it. I hadn't even known it was really a pairing (WinterFrost) before I did this!
July:
Changing of the Guard The only other thing I didn't write for some sort of fan event, this was just a fic for Steve's birthday, and was in the series of War Dogs stories I've been writing.
August:
A Selection of Very Confident International Men Written for my first go-round in the
intoabar challenge, this puts David Rose from Schitt's Creek with Roque from The Losers. It was a lot of fun and I might do this challenge again.
September:
I Don't Like Your Fashion Business, Mister I wrote this for the Cap Septender challenge (soft stories for Cap fandom characters), but also ended up titling with lyrics from Leonard Cohen, so it also fit with a second collection of Cohen lyric titles that aren't his most famous song.
November:
I'd rewrite the book of love, and make it funny My annual birthday-posting of fic, this time a true love's kiss story of Frog!Steve.
December:
The Sun Was the First Star We Knew My Yuletide story, a fix-it where nobody dies in the movie Sunshine, and they make it home to the world they helped save, and Cillian Murphy and Chris Evans's characters find love.
( Thoughts part of the meme )
I forgot my sparkle text word count! All things considered, it's not terrible, especially since I didn't make a single vid this year.
