Bottled Up
A/n: Aaand it’s here! :DDD I couldn’t be happier.
The absolutely stunning art was brought to life by @mysandwichranaway Applause, guys, please - I will never forget how he saved the day and stepped up to collaborate with me, when I was absolutely discouraged. Thank you, my friend, you’re gorgeous!
Long story short, here’s our piece for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Collaboration 2022 project, that united so many talented, kind and creative people. @fellowshipofthefics, you, guys, rock.
Our prompt was “Musical Bards and Their Heroic Muses”.
@i-did-not-mean-to You know, the night before I wrote it I dreamed I was writing it with you for 3-4 hours straight. So you can totally consider yourself a co-author and an inspiration
Also tagging as requested - @mismaeve (a new Lindir, my love!!!), @glassgulls @oenothera5 @noldorinpainter @otakumultimuse-hiddlewhore @eunoiaastralwings @a-contemplation-upon-flowers (may be, you will enjoy it)
Forgive me, if I forgot anyone. Ok, I shut up.
Bottled Up
“Spin that baby, laddie!” Bofur cheered happily.
“I don’t want to kiss you,” Kili growled, pushing the bottle with one finger only, “Any of you, on that matter.”
“Why are you playing this, then?”
“There’s a lady among us,” reminded Kili with a wink.
You laughed, just happy to relax and leave the troubles you all had to live through in the back of your mind, if only for a while.
Of course, the refined abode of the Elves was no place to play such childish games, but the cheer of the Company was contagious, and you let yourself get unleashed for once. Spin the bottle seemed just the right thing to teach them. You had to admit it was hilarious, the whole thing in general and the way each of them demonstrated the involvement in the process so peculiarly.
Dwalin kissed his loyal kin and fellows with the face he must have been saving up for the fiercest of battles, the ever-enthusiastic Fili was as enthusiastic as ever and Ori just a bit less bewildered than you had predicted.
The ones that had the luck to kiss you were rewarded with handclaps and sighs of envy.
The attendant Elves were judging you hard, which only added zest to the already spicy pastime.
The day was obviously a success.
Once again congratulating yourself on a lucky idea, you stretched your neck and took at the waist of the bottle resolutely.
“Let it be me,” prayed Fili, whose luck with you had been failing him this afternoon.
It wasn’t. Neither was it anyone else. The bottle made two lazy spins and stopped, pointing between Ori and Dori…Right at the Elf who had been the first to greet you in Rivendell and was stepping on the Company’s heels ever since. He’d been watching the game, too, a sour expression not leaving his face for a moment.
“Go kiss him,” Kili suggested, before you could replay your go.
The Dwarves perked up, anticipating a good laugh.
“Kiss the boy!”
“Go for it, buttercup!”
“Kiss him, kiss him, kiss him,” they chanted as one. You were looking around desperately in search of at least one disapproving grimace – but no. It was impossible to thrust in a word, let alone make them change their minds.
Caught up in your own game, you stood up to approach the one called Lindir in uncertain steps.
The closer you were getting, the less life and blood were remaining in his face. You had no idea why he didn’t move back – the alley behind him was clear, yet he opted out of escaping for a reason inconceivable to you.
Instead, he simply froze still, looking at you in what seemed to be rather close to panic.
You stood on your tiptoes and shut your eyes not to see what a fool you were about to present of yourself.
“Kiss him!”
You didn’t know why you failed to make it a peck on the cheek or forehead. May be, it was the heady Elvish wine you’d tried for the first time this evening, or the overly heated encouragement of the Company, but, instead of taking it easy, you went for the honest to Eru mouth-to-mouth.
The Elf’s lips were surprisingly smooth and coolish, the banal word “silky” describing them best of all. He gave a start, but didn’t pull away as you cupped his face with the last surge of boldness and kissed him deeper and more softly.
It felt good, almost like the real thing, despite the lack of response on his part.
At an instant you had an almost-but-not a sensation that some reluctant sort of a reaction was still there, but you couldn’t truly tell. And surely, it would be strange to expect him just stand there like one of those prim statues, which surrounded you at each step in here.
Having counted to ten, you called it a kiss and stopped to retreat to the safety of the Company’s circle.
There was a very pronounced response to your ministrations, after all.
Your victim’s face was flaming, and so were his eyes. He reeled, then stammered something you didn’t understand. The Dwarves were laughing without mercy, and some of the Elves followed the example, but you were probably the only one who paid attention to it. Lindir didn’t look like he cared. As shocked, he turned on his heels and almost fled the scene, leaving you and his duties behind.
“There goes the courage of the Elves,” Bofur concluded out loud and reached for the bottle for the hundredth time since morning.
“Spin that baby!”
All it took was one single mental image of your dragging the thing on your back all the way to the Lonely Mountain, with no to little chance to ever put it in good use.
Alas, a tin ear was the rudest of understatements in your case.
You snorted without any backthought and was ashamed of the sound immediately, as your eyes met his.
“Am I being a figure of fun?”
“Not you,” you tried to sound placating. It wasn’t each day you experienced a cultural revelation in such a brutal way, “And still, I’m sorry, I can’t take it.”
He had found you lazying around in the gardens, your head more than a little heavy with the consequences of yesterday’s overindulgence in cheer and drinking. In the good news, your usual case of a nosebleed had happened minutes before that. You’d just barely managed to wash the last spots off your face and shirt in the nearest fancy fountain, when the one still called Lindir stumbled upon you, a lute in his hand.
Had he’d found you a moment earlier, it would have definitely added only more awkwardness to what was enfolding before your eyes now.
“I can’t let you not,” stated he very slowly, as though his opinion of your comprehension skills was less than poor.
You couldn’t say you blamed him for that.
“Let me have this straight,” your temples were splintering with ache, “I have to take this with me, because I happened to be your first kiss?”
The thing he did with his shoulders reminded you of an agonal twitch. His lips stretched into a lopsided line for a moment, and you concluded he was enjoying this one-on-one as little as you were. And that was really not a lot.
“By the ways of my people, yes.”
“And this … instrument is your most precious possession, that is now mine? Because I happened to be your first kiss?”
“What do you do, when your first kiss comes?”
Just as always, you spoke quicker than you thought.
“Pop a foot.”
Lindir’s brows went up, but, as your luck had it, he obviously interpreted your answer as another manifestation of how small a brain you had.
“Am I being a figure of fun?” repeated he patiently.
“No, I’m sorry.”
Without further words, he held the lute out for you yet again. And yet again you couldn’t imagine yourself taking it.
The pause was a lengthy one, so dragged-out you had to wonder whether his arm was getting tired of holding the weight of this “precious gift” you had earned through such a little effort.
“I can’t,” you shook your head again.
“Please,” a note of desperation slipped into his voice.
He was travelling from anger to misunderstanding and spiraling farther into unhappiness, that you couldn’t fully comprehend, in a matter of seconds.
“Are you a minstrel?” you asked him at last.
The lute came down.
“Isn’t it obvious?” reciprocated he with a merriless smile.
“Write me a ballad.”
You didn’t doubt you would feel bad about this new brainchild of yours, too. But you had to save yourself out of the honour and him – out of the misery.
“I beg your pardon?”
“When this journey ends, I want to look back and know I did well,” the inflow of inspiration made you unusually eloquent, “That I was a hero. I don’t need a lute, what good can I get out of it? I want something I can remember, not break one day and never regret it. You wouldn’t wish I did that, would you?”
The deep dark eyes were never off you. This Lindir guy wasn’t the one to hand out his approvals easily, you thought, when another handful of minutes had passed without a word from him.
“I wouldn’t,” agreed he finally.
“Then write me something about how brave I can be. What deeds I can do, if there’s a chance. What hardships I can deal with. And I’ll say you paid for that ki-.”
“What do you know of pigeon mail?” he interrupted you suddenly, in the most business-like kind of voice.
“But how-“
The Elf allowed himself a smile, showing only too clear that your standing somewhere between a mindless rubble and a bit more mindful slug wasn’t changing for the better with him.
“How do I sing something I have no knowledge of?”
And just may be, he wasn’t that wrong on your part.
“A deal, then?” you put out your hand for him to seal the agreement. Much to your surprise, he didn’t hesitate to accept it, wrapping his long fingers around yours politely, if a bit stiffly.
And that’s when the awkwardness returned.
You were quite ready to have your limb to yourself again, yet he had decided otherwise.
“Noble Y/N?”
Your fingers were feeling the pressure that his ones were giving them quite acutely.
“Yes, my Minstrel?” you decided not to dwell on it, in hopes that the light tone will repair this change to his manner.
“Did you…” he stumbled through the question, which you somehow realized was not a common occurrence with him, “Did you do it on purpose?”
“Did what?”
You hoped you sounded surprised enough. Just like you didn’t guess the answer on your own and didn’t wish he had never asked that.
“Spun that bottle…that way.”
It was safer to keep on playing dumb. He was surely able to forget that kiss. Would he forget other advances you had no intention to offer him was quite another question.
“Why would I?”
His hand went loose around yours.
“True,” uttered he with a nod, “I thank you then. For the kiss. And your generosity. And I promise to honour our deal.”
“I have no doubts you will.”
You were becoming a smooth liar.
My dear Minstrel,
I fear I thought too much of …I wish I hadn’t been that presumptuous… I can’t recount the events of this day in…I saw them, Lindir. The stone giants. They were murdering each other right before our eyes. It was a life-altering…an experience, that I…
Scared, my dear Minstrel,
But I’m still here.
Yours,
Y/N
My dear Muse,
Do not test your skill and my patience with…
Do you not think me able to read a simple…
I’ll pray to the Valar to keep you safe. Or what my ballad will be worth of otherwise?
Your faithful Minstrel.
My dear Minstrel,
I have one word for you. Goblins. I’d love to say my heart was not in my feet, but it was.
You could describe it better, if you were me, Lindir.
But I wish you’ll never have to be in my place.
Yours,
Me
My Muse,
I wish you were not yourself, either. I wish you were not there where you are.
No song is worth it.
Lindir.
My Minstrel,
The castle is under siege. I don’t know how it ends. I just know that it will.
Do I need to say that word? Scared?
I don’t. I am not scared.
I didn’t mean to kiss you. But it was not bad.
Your-
A heavy drop of blood rolled down your lips and splashed against the scrap of paper. Your last one. As the things were rushing now, you couldn’t even ask Ori for a replacement.
Who even cared?
You tied the string around the pigeon’s neck carefully. Something told you it was the last time you did that.
“Go.”
You wanted to cower under his stare. He was not like you remembered at all. The eyes narrowed in anger, the jawline sharper and outlined more cruelly.
“So…You’re an Elf-Friend now?”
It wasn’t in the least the happy reunion you’d imagined to yourself.
“Your friend, too, then, my Minstrel,” you tried to mellow his temper with a smile, but it didn’t work. It couldn’t have worked with the way he kept scorching you alive with this disdain.
“You’re not,” he spat out, flinching back at your attempt to approach him.
Very well. You had your pride, too. It’s not like you had ever needed the friendship with a handful of faceless letters on a torn piece of parchment.
“If you wish.”
The next thing you knew were his hands, digging into your shoulders so hard that bruises were just a matter of minutes for you. He shook your whole body twice, with a furious murmur in some distorted kind of Elvish, and let go, as though touching you was the last thing he had expected himself to do.
“I thought that you…” he drew in a heavy breath and went on, with about as much success, “I thought…”
“I didn’t, Lindir.”
You felt it happening too late. The world filled with the steely smell of blood. You choked on it, just as usually, and coughed, lowering your head to let it flow freely. You were not fond of what swallowing it brought on.
The red blots painted the floor with a pattern that was always new and curious.
A sigh of exasperation reached your ears.
“Oh, please,” Lindir exhaled tiredly.
He had nice handkerchiefs. At least the one he had run against your mouth and chin. And his hands could be tender.
And he had gone a long way in kissing. That was the last thing you could think of clearly, when his lips brushed against yours and he returned the favour you’d done for him that sunny Rivendell afternoon a long time ago.
“Now,” being so close to him was still a novelty, but the one you couldn’t but welcome, “Where’s my ballad?”
Lindir chuckled, tightening his arms around you not to let you slip off his lap.
The golden fountains were singing their soft, honeyed songs…
And you wanted one, too.
“Forgive me, my dear Muse, but your writing abilities are not to be boasted of. What was I to do with your missives?”
“So that’s how you’re honouring our deal?”
“I’m agonizing in shame,” drawled he with no shame written on his face whatsoever.
You furrowed your brow and drew yourself up, straddling him more securely.
“You’re forcing me to take drastic measures,” you said, a threat in your voice.
“Do,” invited he through a smile.
Unhurriedly, taking your precious time, you wrapped your fingers around the brooch at his collar and unclasped it in a soft motion.
The sound he swallowed was sharp, as you skimmed your lips against his neck and had the kiss linger to make your point clearer.
“It’s either a ballad or else,” you purred into his ear, “Don’t you hate being in so much debt, my dear Minstrel?”
“Or else, my Muse,” he whispered back as carelessly, “I find I’m less complaisant that I had thought.”

Labor of Love
My fic for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Collaboration 2022- with beautiful artwork by BlueberryHobbit! I had a lot of fun writing this, and was lucky to have such a talented artist to work with!
Read here on AO3!
Rating: G
Word count: 2,697
Pairing: Aragorn/Arwen…sort of 🤣
Summary: Eager for some peace and quiet from the dwarves, Bilbo goes exploring in Rivendell and comes across a moody, awkward young Estel, who's fallen head over heels in love with Lady Arwen.
Despite never having talked to her before (and despite being all of ten years old) Estel is determined to write her a love letter before she returns to Lothlorien. Can Bilbo snap him out of it?

I can’t believe we’re at 2023!! What a year it’s been...both good and bad. First and foremost, I want to say thank you to my followers, readers, mutuals, friends, whoever you are - thank you. I couldn’t have made it through this year without you!
I did this last year and I wanted to do it again with a few added/removed questions, but I feel like we all need a little moment to celebrate our successes and accomplishments, so here’s mine under the cut!
Fandom(s) written for: The Hobbit, Our Flag Means Death
Pairings written for: Bilbo/Thorin, Ed/Stede
Number of works (total): 20
How many of those are completed?: 11
Word count (prev year): 241,178
Word count (2022): 534,448 (293,270 more than last year, not counting tumblr drabbles)
# of WIPs: Enough?? Literally, I don’t know anymore loool. I have 7 active fics currently, 8 plot bunnies that have outlines/content written, and at least 15 sitting in the little brain-crockpot (aka my idea spreadsheet) waiting to be fleshed out.
Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d predicted?
I’ll always say I wish I had posted more, there were some chunks in my year that really hit me hard and made writing nearly impossible, but looking at the actual numbers...posting almost 300k on ao3 this year? I can’t be mad at that. Here’s to hoping next year maybe I can break 300k!!
To put my year into perspective a little bit, I broke it down a little bit more!
Posted 37 chapters/updates
Posted 7 oneshots (2 within my King and Lionheart collection)
Posted 9 plot bunnies
Finished 2 big fics (6 chapters each)
This doesn’t count the drabbles I did for tumblr, and looking at it this way, I am definitely feeling pretty good about my 2022 - here’s to hoping 2023 is even better!!
Did you take any writing risks this year?
I feel like I did!!
Participated in TRSB
Created a fic writer’s blog to support other fic writers @fellowshipofthefics
Wrote for a new fandom (OFMD)
Hosted a new Hobbit Event via FOTFICS
Plot bunny follower event!! SO MANY IDEAS.
I did a lot of birthday gift writings this year
SO MANY COLLABS!!! And more to come...
Did you participate in any fandom events this year?
I took part in two! It was my first time participating in the Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang this year, and I was partnered with the ever delightful @mysandwichranaway! We came up with a very fun modern!royalty AU that I am very proud of. Sandy did some amazing artwork for it as well, and honestly, this was my first multichapter fic finished (6 chapters!) and was written in about 3 months. Not too bad!
→ Between Vices and Virtues
Fellowship of the Fics hosted a Hobbit event, An Unexpected Collaboration where I was partnered with @consultingpacha! I had a few plot bunnies stored away and one worked so well with our prompt, and it was nice to get one off the list! Pacha’s artwork continues to blow me away, and I’m very happy with this fic. The positive response has been overwhelming already!
→ The Night We Met
Both fics have potential sequels! We’ll see how time goes for me this next year.
Do you have any fanfic or general writing goals for the new year?
I’d like to finish projects first and foremost, as well as unleash some new ones. Alongside that though as a writer I’d like to explore new situations/tropes/vocabulary/smut and just expand on what I’m doing already. I’m hoping to put out more words than I did this year, and focus more on my fics rather than events (though I had a lot of fun!)
Next year is the year of Razzy fics - I have so many different plot bunnies I want to tackle! That in itself will help me expand my horizons.
From the past year of writing, what was your…
Longest story: May Your Forge Burn Bright (79,010 words)
Shortest story: Concerning Dwobbits (2,635 words)
Top 3 by kudos: Though I don’t like to think that stats say what is a good fic and what is a bad fic, sometimes I just can’t help but look at them. My current top 3 by kudos in no particular order!
→ Seasalt and Silk (OFMD)
→ May Your Forge Burn Bright
→ Dragonhearted
Best story of this year: I am picking this one purely on the fact that in 2 chapters, it’s blowing some stats out of the water, and we’re on the pirate train (thank you, OFMD) I am thoroughly impressed with the feedback and response from this fic already, and I am so excited to continue it! It’s going to be a fun ride!
→ As The Tide Turns
Personal favorite of 2022: My first collab project, and with my beloved @stardryad-random!! Honestly, this story feels so original even though it has head nods to other forms of media, and it just took on a life of its own. This one will also finish out in 2023!! So be on the lookout for more updates from both myself and Star!
→ When Darkness Shines Brightest
Most fun to write: I think this one is a tie. I feel like I have the most genuine happy-crackshit-fun when writing two of my modern AUs that have been around for a while, both for completely different reasons. First there’s the band AU, there’s just something about a slice of life journey featuring music and books (which are two of my favorite things) that really touches my heart. Then there’s the real crackshit fic, my WWDITS inspired vampire fic, where I can literally put the stupidest ideas and it just...works, somehow. It still has a plot, I promise!! I feel like the readers have fun with these fics as well!
→ Bookbinder//Songwriter
→ Where The Shadows Lie
Most challenging to write: I think every fic is going to be challenging in some way, but the one that springs to mind (which is why it was delayed so much) is Dragonhearted. The latest update was a bit chaotic. Lots of characters, lots of fighting, and it was very important for me to ensure it was clear to the reader as to what was going on. Battle scenes aren’t something I’m overly confident in yet, but this made me figure it out pretty quickly (or slowly, actually).
→ Dragonhearted
Fic I’m proudest of writing: Honestly, this is the year of events (yes, even just two) and I am insanely proud of both of them. They may not be “big behemoth fics” by any means, but considering they both have decent word counts and I did them in 1-3 months a piece, I’m pretty grateful and have every reason to be proud!
→ Between Vices and Virtues
→ The Night We Met
Story with the single sweetest moment? (Top 3)
Bookbinder//Songwriter (The Acorn Tattoo) - Bilbo has spent the evening with Bofur, Nori and Ori, preparing for Bree Bash with a more “rockified” look, which includes piercings and one tattoo. We have an “acorn” scene, a declaration of not needing to change for the other, and overall, it’s just very sweet.
Between Vices and Virtues (Gold and riches cannot compare to you) - Here we have a cliche train scene, but with a small twist. Thorin doesn’t make it to the station in time to catch Bilbo before he leaves for the Shire after a misunderstanding/falling out. He pulls strings to make the train come back so that he can right some wrongs that never should have happened in the first place.
(Take Me Back To) The Night We Met (Forget-me-nots) - Without spoiling too much as this is a newer fic, we see Thorin and Bilbo talking about a few keepsakes, such as a rune stone, some forget-me-nots, both gifted by the other. Give it a read!
Story with the most angsty moment? (Top 3)
When Darkness Shines Brightest (The Fall of Erebor) - This whole story takes the cake on “angsty” but this particular scene where Bilbo is whisked away into a shadow dream to witness for himself what happened to Erebor truly wins the angsty award.
May Your Forge Burn Bright (Mine Collapse) - Bilbo is caught in a mine collapse, and Thorin desperately tries to unbury his hobbit with doubt in his head and worry in his heart that it may be a body to be recovered.
Kurdu ‘abadaz (My sister’s sons) - Thorin gets to see Fili and Kili for the first time since Ravenhill. He’s smacked with the severity of their injuries, and naturally, blames himself.
Least popular fic: A one shot request that is a gen fic for Thorin, Fili, and Kili. I found it very fun and sweet to write, but it’s definitely showing me that ship fics get way more attention.
→ I’ll Keep You Safe
Biggest Disappointment: While there are always going to be highs and lows with writing, I am pretty disappointed in the response to my TRSB fic, which is one I am very proud of, and it just didn’t seem like there was the response I was looking for. I understand that the event was VERY Silm heavy, and probably should have altered my expectations, but I had wanted it to do better. Sandy and I both worked very hard on this Modern Royalty Bagginshield fic. I know modern!au can be a bit finicky with the fandom...but give it a chance!!
→ Between Vices and Virtues
Biggest Surprise: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Collaboration - honestly, this fic was a small nugget of a plot bunny after spotting some artwork some months ago, and I wanted to do a little short story based off of it. It blew up. It was a perfect prompt for Pacha and I’s collab, and it’s not even been out a month, and it’s SOOOO loved by the community??? I’ve never had a story with so many comments asking for a sequel. It’s overwhelming in the most unexpected, yet amazing, way!
→ The Night We Met
What can we expect in 2023?
Word Count: I almost hit 300k this year, so I want to surpass the 300k mark if possible!
Finishing Fics: I am determined to finish a few of my big fics such as ”Dragonhearted”, “May Your Forge Burn Bright”, and “When Darkness Shines Brightest”!
Starting Fics: Some of the plot bunnies are going to show up in 2023, you can check them out → here!
Collaborative Works: I would love to do more collabs with my fellow creators! (Stay on the look out, you just might see @sunnyrosewritesstuff and I working together soon enough.)
FOTFICS Participation/Drabbles: While I don’t really take requests anymore, I will be participating in more FOTFICS monthly challenges - which means taking suggestions from my followers <3
Positive Vibes Only: A more positive Razzy.
Now, to tie off my Year In Review, the ever lovely @i-did-not-mean-to tagged me in a fun little game to show off some of my favorite bits of work I’ve done this year.
Five works I'm proud of (tho I’m proud of them all)
When Darkness Shines Brightest
As The Tide Turns
Bookbinder//Songwriter
Dragonhearted
May Your Forge Burn Bright
Four new WIPs I am excited to release next year
Fuck Thy Neighbor (Accidental Marriage)
Led Only By The Stars (Space!AU)
Sweeter Than Honey (Modern!AU)
Heartstones (Soulmate!AU)
Top three improvements
I’ve improved in expanding my horizons to different tropes/Ideas I didn’t think I would touch before.
I do not check the stats regularly, and I feel a LOT better as a writer and just overall mentally.
My outlining/organization process has SIGNIFICANTLY improved this year, and it’s making my life a ton easier.
Top two resolutions
Finish some big fics!!!
Never compare myself to another author. There is only one of me, and my stories are unique to me and make me happy, that’s what matters.
(Honorary mention: I want to read more fics!!!)
Favorite line
This is an impossible question, but I threw an imaginary dart that landed on my pirate AU, so we gotta go with this one!
“What have we here? A stowaway, or a rat? I’ll give you this, you almost had it…but the secret to escaping somewhere quietly,” that blade tilted a bit, forcing Bilbo’s chin upwards as the man holding it crouched, knees bent to bring them near face to face, “is to be quiet.” (-> As The Tide Turns)
I picked this because....let’s be real, the sexual tension of this scene alone is just....yes. Bilbo’s chin tipped up with a sword, hell yeah.

This has been a crazy year!! I didn’t really feel like I had done all that much until I started feeling this out and realized I’ve written more this year than any year in the past.🤩 I’m going to preface this by saying, I don’t think I ever would have accomplished this much without all of my friends’ and followers’ incredible support.🙏So big THANK YOU to each and every one of you who had encouraged my writings through comments, asks, requests, etc.😊
I broke this up into four different sections. So let’s look at:
My Totals
Fandom(s) Written For in 2022: So I think officially, I should count this as 4: The Adventures of Tintin, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, and What We Do in the Shadows
Pairings Written For in 2022: Okay my Modern May drabbles wrecked this count! I totaled: 11, which was: Bagginshield, Barduil, Belladonna/Bungo, Dis/Vili, Filiori, Gloin/His Wife, Haddotin, Kiliel, Nwalin, Ori/Reader, and SamFro
Number of Works in AO3: 19 😳
Number of Completed Works for 2022: 8!! 😮💨 But several of them are one-shots so I don’t know if that counts.🤣
List of Completed Works: A Future Bright as Snow, Guardian of Kings, The Marali Festival, After the Marali Festival, One More Little Adventure, The Sailor’s Club, Secrets in the Blue Mountain Apartment, A Smile for a Cold Spoon
Total Word Count: I don’t know how this can simultaneously be a lot and not that impressive, but it is definitely the most I’ve ever written in a year: 188,267
Average Chapter Word Count: This was a fun little statistic I worked out on my own: 3,278.10
Gifts Received/Given: Counting all my tumblr fics, I gifted 7 works this year! And because my friends are ridiculous and insisted on gifting me things back received 7 gifts this year. 🤣
Events Participated In: Not counting @fellowshipofthefics monthly event challenges, I was a part of 3 different events this year.
@mulasawala was the artist I was honored to work with to create One More Little Adventure for @tolkienrsb
I decided to try @gatesofsummerexchange year and got to create A Lesson Carved in Stone for @toasterpapa as well as received the cutest found family journal-style story, dear future bilbo; it’s me, bilbo from @mxmia
And then @lordoftherazzles, @ahufflepuffhobbit and I took on the challenge of HOSTING The Hobbit: An Unexpected Collaboration which was certainly a learning curve...but also great fun! @thotinshield and I made two really humorous POV complementary fics: What Happened in 30C and Secrets in the Blue Mountain Apartment that are definitely worth a read!
#sunny says stuff#year in review#my totals#guys I wrote A LOT THIS YEAR#and yet I still have years old wips 🥲
