2, 8, 10, 15 - for the writer asks! XD

2. How many fics did you work on this year? (They don’t have to be finished or published!) Oh man...I have notes and little bits of two paragraphs here, a page or five there, but most of those will never go anywhere and I'm sure I've forgotten most of those ideas already but for knowing that they're in the depths of my Google Drive.

I published 10 (which is way more than usual for me!) and I've worked on/started four that I feel committed to finishing and posting eventually, as well as one more that I'll either write in the next week or watch it disappear into the ether (pretty sure there's not gonna be an in-between option for this one). This has been a year of hyperfixation whiplash, which, combined with ADHD, has had me spiraling all over the place with ideas and then promptly getting distracted and losing the momentum.

8. Did you write for a new fandom or ship this year? You know, I didn't—this was actually the year of me returning to some very, very old roots! I've written and posted my first 24 fic since, Christ, idk...2006? And then my first BSG fic since 2011, my first Doctor Who fic since 2012, and my first Star Trek fic since 2013. I wasn't expecting this but it's been pretty wild and fun! The TNG cast reuniting on Picard and then having David and Catherine back as the Doctor and Donna on Doctor Who were extremely inspiring external factors, but BSG and 24 were basically whims. I signed up for a BSG exchange in honor of the 20 year anniversary because I thought it would be fun to dip my toes back in that pond and then absolutely panicked when I realized I had to actually write BSG fic in the year of 2023, and then I started the 24 fic during a rewatch awhile back and @starg8rocks reminded me of it a few months ago and inspired me to finish it.

So, in short: no new fandoms, but lots of old ones!

10. What fic made you feel the happiest to work on? I mean, the blood sacrifice (aka the Succession yacht vs. orca crack fic) was pretty entertaining to me personally. I'm also just having so many feelings about Doctor Who deciding that the 2023 message is "rest, recover, and reconnect with all of your friends". So, while it was quite bittersweet and partly the result of me actively rejecting the premise that Sarah Jane Smith is dead in-universe, it was mostly just lovely and cathartic to write what falls away is always and offer two characters I adore a soft, quiet moment of care and connection.

15. Rec a fic you wrote or posted in 2023. The two fics that I agonized over most this year were let your faith die, bring your wonder (BSG, Laura Roslin gen) and we even flew a little (Succession, post-s3 but pre-s4 Roman/Gerri). Between one being in an older fandom and being gen vs. shippy and the other being posted just before season four of Succession started and catapulted the entire fandom, me included, into a new era of fic, I'm not shocked that neither of them got as much love (comparatively) to others I posted this year, but I like them. They're both fics I'm a bit self-conscious about and felt unhappy with when I posted with but I think that's largely because they took so long and stressed me out more than anything else I wrote this year—I liked them more upon revisiting.

my fic from this year send me 2023 fic questions!

TMR Boys playing Minecraft

A/N: saw someone in a different fandom do this, and I just revisited some of the old Minecraft YouTubers I used to watch (specifically LDShadowlady and StacyPlays) and since TMR is my current hyperfixation here’s this

Minho

takes the game way too seriously would try to speedrun killing the ender dragon

would definitely get addicted and finish the game in one night

after that he’d try to get every achievement before spending the next month trying to get to the farlands

his inventory consists of full diamond armor, an enchantment table, and every potion in the game x64

Thomas

an absolute menace

at first he’d play the game normally building a wooden house and whatnot but as soon as he discovers tnt it’s over for everyone else on the server

since he’s one of the admins no one can kick him so everyone just lives in fear of Thomas and his inventory full of tnt

he targets everyone but Newt

would definitely mark everything with ‘Thomas was here’

‘CaptainGally was blown up by TomBomb’

‘ZarttheFart was blown up by TomBomb’

‘TheCoolestRunner was blown up by TomBomb’

Newt

at first he wouldn’t see the appeal of the game but eventually he’d get into it and start building a life for himself

within two hours he’d have a house, a farm, and several dogs that he grinded for because he wants to feel like he earned his living even if it’s a game

no one messes with his stuff like ever because Thomas once accidentally blew up part of his house and he gave him a lecture about dynamite control and didn’t speak to him afterwards for a couple days

he’s very respectful of the villagers even though they aren’t real because Yk, Newt’s a great person

Gally

he tried survival, got frustrated, and resigned himself to making stuff in creative

since he was the keeper of the builders in the glade his thing would be just making intricate buildings and just walking around in them

he has his own server everyone but Thomas is allowed on that’s just a bunch of replicas of real life structures that come together into a giant cityscape

Newt definitely has a house in Gally’s city

extra thing, on the main server they’re all on he’d gather an army of dogs and get Thomas to hit him just for the satisfaction of watching Thomas get mauled to death by his Minecraft dogs. Or he’d just kill Thomas for fun

‘TomBomb was slain by CaptainGally’

TomBomb: Stop killing me ! >:(

‘TomBomb was slain by CaptainGally’

Aris

he tried survival because Thomas convinced him to but he’d be really bad at it like he’d die all the time

‘Ventboy was shot by a skeleton’

‘Ventboy drowned’

‘Ventboy tried to swim in lava’

‘Ventboy was crushed by an anvil’

‘Ventboy was blown up by TomBomb’ (Thomas apologized for that one)

but eventually he’d discover red stone, and he’d make a bunch of cool stuff

especially with music blocks like he’d recreate songs he liked

him, Sonya, and Harriet have their own server and Aris does concerts in the town Sonya and Harriet built

Zart

he plays the game just for the flowers

he also made a little birch wood cottage that’s across from Frypan’s oak wood cabin

once he’d collected all the flowers in the game and made a garden around his cottage he’d get all the flower mods

him and Frypan share a garden where Zart grows flowers and Fry grows food

sometimes the others will wake up to flowers around their houses and everyone knows Zart put them there despite him always denying it

Frypan

he’s a very reliable player to have on your team

this man has a whole farm, and always has like 64 stacks of every food

also he found a village upon spawning and decided just to live with them in his cabin

usually he’s just farming or going on scavenger hunts for plants with Zart

however when Minho was going on his several quests he accompanied him as a food source so Minho could carry all his weapons and potions

He also has a farm in Gally’s city

But yeah thanks for reading my post !!

Have a nice day and night !! 🌺
