silverflight8I wrote two fics this year and received two. I defaulted and didn't think I'd get any, so I couldn't believe my luck. You should read my gift fics, if you're in the Old Kingdom fandom! I have two adventure/exploration fics for Lirael and the Disreputable Dog, as they go exploring in the great Clayr library: After Hours by the_antichris and Discoveries to Share by Sheeana.
I wrote A Sea Change (2,868 words) for Phantom (rosabelle) which is fork-in-the-road AU for Jehanne/Moirin, and which I think is pretty unsurprising (I felt extremely not-anon during the entire exchange). I JUST THINK THAT JEHANNE SHOULDN'T HAVE DIED. They are so gorgeous together. Yeah. Not over it. Never over it.
I think Jehanne is really quite perceptive when it comes to people. I wonder if this is why Daniel loved her so much. I want to write something pre-Kiss about Jehanne and Daniel and Raphael, actually.
I also wrote Traveller's Lodging (620 words) for kaesa (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kaesa) for Madness. I got to this point and then went "oh no but how do I keep going". I have to think of some way of reorganizing things so I can keep going!
Conclusion: more research is in order. Also as I was writing this I was researching early medieval Europe which is a very different thing and it was all...14th century! Focus on England! Oh noes!
I would like to say right now that I HATE TITLES. I shall start a Society for the Abrogation of Titles. Or Titles Anonymous, for writers suffering from the terribleness of trying to pick a title. For A Sea Change all I could think of was a pun (and I'm so sorry--but hey I used title case! It was even more pretentious before!) and as for kaesa's, I literally ran out of time and had to slap the most terribad title on. Yeah, about that...

This year I wrote and finished 4 fic: two in Kushiel's Legacy, one in Old Kingdom, and one in Time Traveller's Guide to 14th Century England. Of all the fics I wrote, I think I liked the Old Kingdom one best (By breakwater and river), because I got to write action and I love adventure/action/case/mission kinds of novels and stories best. AO3 says that 2013's output is 9447 words, which is an increase of almost precisely 200% (2.003815...) over 2012. The majority was in By breakwater and river, which is 4K.
In other writing, I have few hard numbers because I'm really bad at recording stuff in spreadsheets. I did not finish Nanowrimo for the first time ever, but I did start on an unmentionable project, and finally wrote treats for yuletide, so overall, still happy! I blame the craziness of this year. You know what I still have to finish? That Mavros/Amarante fic. It's still sitting at 11K with zero progress since December 2012 *facepalm* I need a kick in the pants.
