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. ♥

eh, all my bingos will be done in amnesty. But I kinda figured that when I signed up for them. It was more about the prompts!

But doing all those as blackouts is super impressive!

hi, ilu jsyk. <3

I love that DCook lyric. It is so gorgeous. <3333

Also I will forever envy you for your ridiculous (I mean that in a good way, really!) ability to write so much. ;P

As some would have it, you never have that year again. ♥

Awwww, Jay. This fandom's glad to have you, that's for sure :)

*hugs you tight*

i haven't had a chance to respond to your comment on my journal yet. i'm caught up in a lot of things in RL. it had been truly an honor working with you last year. i hope we can do it again some time (if my work doesn't kill me yet, ugh).

strange that you started with a line from the lyrics of 'silver'. that's where i got the title of the harrypotter!fic i'm working on, if you've noticed on the banner i posted :) and every chapter title is from the same song. :D

thanks for being there for me always, bb. especially at times i feel like throwing myself over a cliff. *hugs you again*
