2022 Writing Round-Up

I’m combining two memes. One I stole from @fiadhaisteach and the second I was tagged by @rosella-writes and @kittynomsdeplume!

Words posted: 29,339 (not including tumblr-only DADWC)

Additional Words Written: At least 6000 more, probably more like 7000-8000 but I don’t want to go wrangle down snippets.

Grand total of words: 35339 or something idk

Fandoms: 2 (although I have snippets for 4)

Highest Kudos: Remembering Well was not written this year b/c it was for a zine, but it was posted this year and has 22 kudos. Of things written/posted tho it’d be Because I Asked (explicit just fyi!) at 17.

Highest Hit Oneshot: Because I Asked at 217

New Things I Tried: I started posting my first long fic and published my first explicit/nsfw fanfic on AO3! I also can’t say writing gen fic was new but looking at what I wrote I really leaned into that this year which is exciting.

Fic I Spent the Most Time On: Probably The Ascent by virtue of it being a multi-chapter.

Fic I Spent the Least Time On: The Storyteller’s Game from my Tales of Fen’Harel work I wrote in an hour or so.

Favorite Thing I Wrote: Idk I’m rly fond of this passage from The Ascent of Solas and Thora coming to Cadash Thaig.

Solas takes the corner quickly, and grinds to a halt just as fast. Thora stands yards ahead, stunned to a standstill. Dust rises where she stopped, suspended in the air like a moment frozen in time, draped in daylight.

The Deep Roads, in their unknowable depths, have changed again.

Great chasms in the earth lend lease to the rising sun, grassy patches of green growing where the light strikes the stone. Beyond two guardian statues bearing sigiled shields, the roads open into streets lined with buildings: market stalls, workshops, and places he does not yet have a name for. But this place they’ve come to has a name, and they both know it.

“This is it.” Certainty steadies the Inquisitor’s words otherwise beset by passion. Still, she trembles. He lays a hand upon her shoulder and she settles beneath it. The trail of dust seems to extend up to greet the sky, like a staircase into the thaig.

“We’re here.”

Favorite Thing I Read: I received some really, really special gifts this year from the exchanges I was in, but most special of all was Comrades in Arms, Brothers in Broken Chains by @dreadfutures. It’s about Felassan and the ancient rebels of Fen’Harel. I also received proserpine, a beautiful F!Shepard/Samara gift for the Mass Effect exchange I was in by CoaxionUnlimited

Writing Goals for 2023: Work on my long fic some more, write for different fandoms

New Works: 14, including works reposted to AO3 but not including DADWC that aren’t on AO3.

Tagging: @ineedmyknightcommander, @delicatefade, @rakshadow, @mxkelsifer No pressure for anyone who doesn’t care to do this, I wasn’t sure if I should do it myself and I know these sorts of wraps can elicit bad feelings if you engage in them at the wrong time. Also feel free to tag me if you want to post your responses even if I didn’t tag you!
