Lan Wangji feels like his brain is leaking out of his ears. He had been the only Chinese skater assigned to Skate America this year, meaning neither Jiang Cheng nor Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan had been in attendance. Meaning Wei Wuxian had woken up at three in the morning just for him. Wangji internalizes this fact, and promptly comes undone.

Wei Wuxian hadn't forgotten about him.

(AU where Olympic figure skater Lan Wangji reunites with Wei Wuxian, his teenage rinkmate. It's been seven years since Wei Wuxian abruptly retired from figure skating, and now teaches a children's class at a local rink. This would all be a lot easier on Lan Wangji if he didn't have a Grand Prix Final to win, and if Wei Wuxian wasn't so damn good with kids.)

2022 Writing Round-up!

I was tagged by @cleverblackcat and @barbex to share what I got up to this year—thank you!

I've actually been really excited for this moment since this time last year, since that's when I decided to start tracking my daily word count. I have a graph! Proof it all adds up!

For context:

I'd been trying to write for fun/just for myself for years, but it would never stick. I work in publishing (being as vague as possible here!), so I always stewed in the pressure of feeling like anything I wrote had to be brilliant, which meant I wrote...almost nothing that wasn't for work.

It turns out fanfiction was the perfect solution? Purely for fun, inherently non-commercial, and without any of the baggage that came with trying to publish under my own name. (Also: Anders.)

Words Written:

I started towards the end of 2021 (I think I wrote about 5,000 words?). But in 2022, I wrote 109,098 words.

I'm very much not a fast writer, so instead I tried to become a consistent writer—apparently my daily average was 307 words.

I always let myself go longer if I'm really into it on a certain day (though even then that was never more than 1,000 words or so, and looking back I only had seventeen 1,000-word days), and of course that counts days off—if I write today I'll have written on 234 days this year (about 65% of them).

But it's so cool to me to see the trends?? Like, June is low because that's when I started publishing Force of Nature, so I spent a fair amount of time editing chapters I first wrote in Jan-May. December was low because a) holidays and b) I spent a lot of time working on an exchange fic, which took longer since I was figuring out the character dynamics/arc from scratch—I write the longfic at a faster clip these days since a lot of that was already figured out in the early part of the year.

Words Published:

AO3 tells me I published 56,385 words this year. A little over 44,000 of those in the longfic.

Misc Thoughts:

I'm far and away most proud of Force of Nature, my Amell/Anders longfic—I never thought I'd work on a long project, but it's been so much fun and so rewarding!

I don't really have specific goals for next year besides to keep going: aiming for consistency, writing what I find fun, tracking again.

(Though I'm very excited for Anders and Garrett to finally get together in the longfic in 2023!!)

And just, thank you so, so much to anyone and everyone who's read anything I've written. It's been such a fun year and it's been great sharing it with you 🥰🥰
