Post/Fic: Writing Your History

[labyrinth2015]

As DCook sang: "When writing your history, I will always be a footnote, a warning sign of mistakes made..."

Bingo prompt-writing challenges participated in from June 2010 = 3.
Bingos actually made within bingo-scoring period = zero, FML.

However, I did subsequently get my act together and manage to post two amnesty blackouts and a bingo + 9 extras, frivolously and respectively entitled Endless Love, Shelter me, Comfort me, and The Sound of Worlds Colliding:

Historical: World War II	Other: Actors	Alternate History: Someone never died	Alternate History: Major historical event changed	Other: Castaways
Other: Evil Goateed Universe	Other: Aliens	Other: Film Noir	Fantasy & Supernatural: Witches and Wizards	Alternate History: Someone died/didn’t come back
Fantasy & Supernatural: Author's Choice	Historical: Napoleonic Europe	FREE Other: The Oldest Professions – Lawyers, hookers	Other: Mutants	Historical: Western
Historical: Ancient Civilizations	Other: Criminals	Historical: World War I	Other: High-school	Other: Sports
Fantasy & Supernatural: Vampires	Other: Detectives	Alternate History: Author’s Choice - Someone said no	Future: Author's Choice – Magical Realism Utopia	Other: Police

I’ve never really been too stressed out about word count – it doesn’t necessarily bespeak quality, it just bespeaks long! – but I actually think my word count for 2010 may have come in at northward of 200k words, leaving aside the stories I wrote with frackin_sweet. Which is quite a few more words than I expected...

Challenges I didn’t flake on: au_bigbang's Anthemicronicon (~42k, with prequel | AU!sequel), rpf_big_bang’s Labyrinth 2015 | Something Blue (~36k), and ficforhope's Stand and Deliver (~30k with sequel).

I also wrote for the Cookleta roundtable (15k!) and another 10k for Ludacris kinkmeme and the TG. I, er, somehow made about 25k of mpreg, angsty, fighty and Marysue-y gift fic. Closing out the year, Yuletide clocked in at over11k, and I had around 24k in fandom Christmas challenges and DCook/Carrie fic. And that’s sans the non-DCook pairings, and the stupid unbetaed drabbles, of which I wrote an embarrassing sufficiency!

In conclusion: in 2010, I totally failed at short. Also, I betaed, received too many fic and art gifts, collaborated with frackin_sweet and clover71, and commissioned art from flawlessnights, ciudad and imlikat. It was my first full year in fandom and an amazing honeymoon year. As some would have it, you never have that year again. ♥
