Hi, Iām RaisedonRadio & FortressofmyPast on AO3 and FF.net.
I have been doing these posts FOR TEN YEARS.
Check out my past year-end posts: 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015.
Total Word Counts:
11,123 words in published fanfictions
Total Number Of Completed Works: 4
Total Number of WIPS worked on this year: I have no idea. It feels like just 1
How Many WIPs do you still have: 19 fanfiction ones
Looking back, did you write more than you thought you would this year, less, or about what youād expected?
Less, I really had hoped I would keep up my momentum this year.
Did you take any writing risks this year?
Haha, NOPE. Played it very safe lol
Biggest Surprise:
I did publish four fics! I am still proud of that.
Biggest Disappointment:
Well letās just copy and paste from last year: āDefinitely wish I can kept writing consistently.ā
Do you have any writing goals for the new year?
Write a little more often.
Fandoms Iāve written in this year:
They were both Kdramas: Alchemy of Souls and Backstreet Rookie.
Your most popular story of the year?
Donāt Love You Yet (but probably will) for Alchemy of Souls. 823 hits and 48 kudos.
The story that was easiest/or most fun to write:
Poison on the Inside was fun, as in, it was extremely, indulgently angsty.
Hardest story to write:
Probably that one still stuck in WIP limbo. I started it, started over from the other characterās point of view, decided I liked the original betterā¦then left it to rot. Or ferment?
Your sweetest story:
Probably Lucky Star. Just a moment captured of a couple spending time together.
Your saddest scene:
Hmm, not sure? Poison on the Inside was angsty, not really sad though.
The sexiest moment youāve written this year?
Two out of the four this year were smut: I feel like I captured the spirit of the couple in Lucky Star very well. ;)
Your favorite tag: (whether you use it the most or just something witty/perfect for the story)
A toss up between: āthey canāt just drop a Oh she might be pregnant without me wanting to write a fic about itā
Or
āIs it canon compliant that this character is a bad father: I will make a fic about it and let you decideā
Most unintentionally telling story: (have you accidentally or purposefully exposed a detail about yourself?)
Yeahāno. Nothing comes to mind. :D
Which of your fics are named after/heavily inspired by music?
It wouldnāt be on brand for RaisedonRadio to not name (checks notes) all four of her fics this year after songs. This year it was an even split of song titles and lyrics.
My favorite part of fandom this year:
I love all the interactions I get with readers, from hits to kudos to comments. I had some comments on old fics this year too which is always very cool.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Letās spread the self-love š
I was tagged by @witchhuntress ! I know you said I could do any fandoms but I decided it would be very fun to stick to only Ghost Hunt. I haven't written for Ghost Hunt since 2021 but I still think about it. And I had 31 fanfics to pick from (not including the couple fics that are multi one shots LOL) I decided to do them justice, and re-read a bunch of them, which was much more enjoyable than I expected. (But ugh. I still found some typos.) Also, I will keep this T rated!
Okay! I will start with a very light hearted one:
Linās List
A list of 25 things for Lin to refrain from - and keep Oliver from doing - during their stay in Japan. As suggested by Madoka Mori.
This was written in 2012. I recall it being inspired by a friendās list style fic. It was such a fun feat to summarize the entire series in a 25 point list.
Knock Three Times
Sixteen-year-old Ayako is invited to a test of courage. Hunting for Hanako-san will be childās play, right?
I really enjoyed learning about Japanese folklore and getting into a younger Ayakoās head for this fic.
Same Old Lang Syne
Should old acquaintances be forgotten, and never brought to mind?
This story is based after a song by John Fogelberg by the same name. This is one of those types of fics that has sooo much research in it to make it flow properly. Sometimes I think a fic based after a song will be easy: the plot is already there! But no. I wanted to keep the essence of the song strong, but I also wanted it not to stick out so bad when it was based after an American song set on Christmas Eve, but the fic was in Japan. I was quite happy with it in the end.
And it hurt so many readers.
The Last of the Real Ones
Being determined to expose them all as frauds might mean losing a piece of himself along the way.
I donāt say this very often, because I mainly write one shots and am happy to do so, but this one was really was only going to be a one shot. And I realized how it definitely needed at least a little more, so I left it for dead for years. I was very glad I did eventually finish it.
Ever After, Fiftieth oneshot of Wishing Well
Each story contains a question, but does it have an answer? Here they are collected together, like coins tossed in a wishing well.
The one shot collection of Wishing Well was written from 2011-2014. Fun fact, it was originally a 100 prompt list, but by number 50, I just knew it was time to let it go and work on other things. I had wanted the last one shot to be perfectly epic and I think I achieved that. >:)
...If you want to find the rest of my fics, I am RaisedonRadio on AO3 and on FF.net.
Tagging! @writercorianarose @azdesertwillow @daevolloqui @inky-starlight, and any other ghost hunt fans lurking out there.

Being sent back to Seoho Fortress as he deals with the loss of friends and the disease eating at him from within, just reminds Seo Yul why he had been so reluctant to return in the first place.
Alchemy of Souls fanfiction, one shot, rated T, 4800 words
Hi, Iām RaisedonRadio & FortressofmyPast on AO3 and FF.net. This is an on-going tradition since 2015. Check out my past year-end posts: 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015.
Tagging a few people, and if you come across my little post and want to do your own year in review, feel free to tag me!
Total Word Counts:
18,968 in published fanfics
16,540 Camp Nano April
7,909 Nanowrimo
Total Number Of Completed Works: 5
Total Number of WIPS worked on this year: 8, I think
How Many WIPs do you still have: 23 (waitā¦thatās the same as last yearā¦such a classic example of the plot bunnies multiplying as fast one can write them)
Looking back, did you write more than you thought you would this year, less, or about what youād expected?
Less. I started off with a bang, and fizzled out. And I didnāt finish Nanowrimo, I just didnāt have the drive for it with all stuff happening with them this year. (I should have chosen a new tracking system ahead of time!)
Did you take any writing risks this year?
Iād say no, I played it really safe. But I did write a couple of fanfics for a series when it wasnāt finished yet. I normally would wait so my fics can be overly canon-compliant, which is something I have really loosened up on in the past few years.
Biggest Surprise:
The huge reception I got from the My Demon and Sweet Home fics. Wow! I was almost spoiled by the outpouring of kudos!
Biggest Disappointment:
Definitely wish I had kept writing consistently.
Do you have any writing goals for the new year?
Be more consistent in writing. Even if I canāt manage daily, maybe even weekly, instead of dropping everything for months.
Fanfiction Questions! (if you donāt write fanfiction feel free to skip or rework the questions for your original works.)
Fandoms Iāve written in this year:
They were all Kdramas: My Demon, Destined With You, Sweet Home, Sound of Magic
Your most popular story of the year?
That would be āI Burn For Youā, with 328 kudos, 14 comments, and 6,958 hits. I was floored by the turnout it received.
The story that was easiest/or most fun to write:
If I go by the amount of drafts I have, it was āAloneā, with three.
Hardest story to write:
There were seven drafts for āLong Story Shortā. ^^;;
Your sweetest story:
āSafe And Soundā came out kinda of sickly-sweet. XD
Your saddest scene:
I donāt think I wrote anything too sad this year, just a little angst in āLong Story Shortā and āAloneā.
The sexiest moment youāve written this year?
4 out of my 5 fanfics were, once again, E rated. I apologize to any readers who miss my T rated fics. XD
Your favorite tag: (whether you use it the most or just something witty/perfect for the story)
I finally used a āwrote this instead of sleepingā variation (it was me editing at 2 in the morning)
Most unintentionally telling story: (have you accidentally or purposefully exposed a detail about yourself?)
Surprisingly nothing comes to mind this year! (But Iām sure there are bits and pieces of me throughout)
Are any of your fics named after/heavily inspired by music?
All of them were named after songs or lyrics, yet again. I wouldnāt be RaisedonRadio if I came up with original titles -_-;; And since one of the fics was from a musical, I included a little playlist of the songs I had on repeat when writing it. :D
Whatās your own favorite story of the year?
Hmm, thatās tough, I was pretty pleased with most of them this yearā¦but Iāll go with āI Burn For Youā.
My favorite part of fandom this year:
I love writing for active fandoms, and yet I also love writing for super quiet fandoms. I did both this year!
Through an unexpected encounter, Luella gets a glimpse into the hearts of her recently adopted twins.
A Ghost Hunt Fanfiction, one-shot, 1000 words. Pre-Series, Rated Gen/K
Read it on: AO3 / FF.net / Under the Cut!
(I started this last year and found it in my drafts ten days before Christmas. And I swore up and down I wouldnāt let it sit for another year. Yes, it is basically that lovely scene from that one Christmas movie that I will list at the bottom notes if you are not familiar with it. Thanks for reading!)

Hi, Iām RaisedonRadio & FortressofmyPast on AO3 and FF.net. This is an on-going tradition since 2015. Check out my past year-end posts: 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015.
Tagging a few, but if you come across this, consider it an open tag! Youāre welcome to tag me back, Iād love to read it!
Big change for me compared to last yearāin addition to NaNoWriMo, I actually posted fanfics! I tried to add some new questions to this yearās edition, I hope they might even move out of my tiny circle.
Total Word Counts:
51,920 for 2023 NaNoWriMo
15,570 on 2022 NaNoWriMo project
19,193 for July 2023 Camp NaNoWriMo (mostly fanfics)
28,310 in published fanfics (this number is overlapping with camp nano, I wasnāt paying attention, so Iām not going to add everything together)
Total Number Of Completed Works: 10
Total Number of WIPS worked on this year: 10 or so
How Many WIPs do you still have: 23
Looking back, did you write more than you thought you would this year, less, or about what youād expected?
I wrote way more than expected! I seriously didnāt think I would do NaNoWriMo again. And I published ten fics! Thatās ten more than last year!
Did you take any writing risks this year?
The NaNoWriMo project was definitely a risk for me. I basically had an idea and no outline. It was quite a challenge to my perfectionism issuesāI had to basically never reread anything and just keep going, fully aware that I can better foreshadow the ideas that came up halfway through in the next rewrite.
Biggest Surprise:
I wrote for NaNoWriMo again, which I was pretty sure wouldn't happen lol, and hit the word count, all through discovery writing, and having very little idea where I was going with it.
Biggest Disappointment:
I dropped that above mentioned project the moment November ended! I can tell it has potential, hidden in there. I will definitely return to it.
Do you have any writing goals for the new year?
Iād love to at least finish the first draft of the 2023 NaNoWriMo project, bringing it to a tentative end so I can actually reread it and go from there. And keep writing fanfic, and maybe even work on the 2022 nanowrimo projectā¦
Fanfiction Questions Below! (if you donāt write fanfiction feel free to skip or rework the questions for your original works.)
Fandoms Iāve written in this year:
I wrote fics for 7 different fandoms! For the following kdramas: Island, Tale of the Nine Tailed, Memorist, Royal Secret Agent, W: Two Worlds, May I Help You?, and a little Korean Web drama called Handmade Love.
Your most popular story of the year?
That would be Besides You with 327 hits and 47 kudos. However Superhero got the most comment interaction with 4!
The story that was easiest/or most fun to write:
I Think He Knows was fun to write! I do just love brooding with a heart of gold formerly immortal male leads.
Hardest story to write:
Rescue Me, Superhero, Restore, and Prayers & Promises were four works that I had left for dead, and came back and found them to be basically finished and just needed proofreading. (So just in case anyone wondered how I turned out three of those in like two days: they were actually done and I was hellbent on getting them out of my WIPs list)
Your sweetest story:
That would definitely be Superhero. I altered my normal narrative style to better fit the childās character, and I was really pleased with how it turned out.
Your saddest scene:
I feel like I hit a lot of angst this year, but nothing really sad?
The sexiest moment youāve written this year?
*coughs* I wrote five pieces of smut. (Half of my fanfics were smut this year?!) Umm, Iām torn between Beside You and Donāt Blame Me? But also Never Be the Same and Take On Me???
Your favorite tag: (whether you use it the most or just something witty/perfect for the story)
My brother announced to me that he reads all my tags (he was trying to embarrass me about one of my smut pieces) so I did a shout out to him in the next fic. He saw it within the day, I was actually impressed.
Most unintentionally telling story: (have you accidentally or purposefully exposed a detail about yourself?)
Religious guilt seems to be a reoccurring tag this year. In all seriousness, not quite sure why, but yet it kinda makes sense? (its complicated lmao) And for some reason not one, but two fics ended with marriage proposals?! (Iām so single.)
Are any of your fics named after/heavily inspired by music?
Iām RaisedonRadio and it would be concerning ifāchecks listāless than 8 of the 10 fics werenāt named after songs, haha! (Iām actually just really bad at naming ficsā¦)
Good To You and Besides You are both songs by the band Marianas Trench, and are heavily inspired by the songs. Rescue Me is by OneRepublic, one of those more vibes than lyrics inspired. I Think He Knows by Taylor Swift was definitely on repeat for that fic, as well as Don't Blame Me. (Poems), Prayers, and Promises was more a steal the name of the song by John Denver, for some reason I think Cold by Corbyn was on repeat when writing that one. Take On Me was named more for the similarities between the MV and the series! Never Be The Same was for the vibes of the song by Camila Cabello but not really the lyrics.
Whatās your own favorite story of the year?
Maybe itās cheating but Iām not sure if I can really choose? I know itās not a common writer sentiment but I really do like them all for different reasons.
Like I churned out Good To You and Besides You within ten days of each other in July, after not writing any fanfic basically for a year and a half.
And then I pulled Rescue Me out of the dead drafts pile and made myself work on more description.
I Think He Knows was my first foray into a brand new fandom.
Donāt Blame Me is one of my rare canon divergence fics.
Restore was another dead draft that I found to be mostly complete, and decide to release into the world even if I knew there was so much more I could have done with it.
Prayers and Promises was not only another new fandom, but for some reason, I decided to write for a side character. Itās still sitting on just 1 hit and that makes it all the better that I really wrote it for myself.
Superhero was out of my comfort zone of writing for a kidās perspective and I was so happy with how it turned out.
Take On Me was a draft sitting at less than 1k words and I challenged myself to finish it before the new year, and got it done in two days.
And then, to finish it all off with the intense desire to have ten fics under the belt for 2023, I wrote Never Be The Same in less than two days for the last drama I had watched, and the speed that the last two fics were actually finished was a huge change for me.
Fanfiction risks you took this year?
I wrote fanfic for not one, but two fandoms that I had to create the first tags for on AO3! Also, as I started to slip into just writing for kdramas this year, Iāve basically become my own proofreader and editor at this point. Any mistakes are my own, lol.
My favorite part of fandom this year:
That would be getting two kudos and a comment on I Think He Knows, one of the fics that is the first in its fandom tag. To actually connect with more fans of such a tiny project was so cool!
