Rules: Itās time to love yourselves! Choose your 5 (or so) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. Tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works.
Iāve written nearly 200k in fanfic this year alone after a 4 year break oof. Not all is published, but wow. What a good year. (I donāt start posting a fic until itās completed.)
1.Ā Reeds in the Wind: Currently the longest MDZS fic I have (until I release my Big Bang fic). Itās 26k of Jiang Cheng learning how to have feelings and work up the guts to try communicating with Wei Wuxian again. Meanwhile, Wei Wuxian uses embroidery as a love language. Needlework is just repetitive stabbing, after all! And you can never have too many Yunmeng Shuangjie feels :3
2.Ā Inconceivable: Unexpectedly my most popular fic? I love this one because it features Lan Qiren being a supportive uncle, albeit begrudgingly. I have a lot of feelings about Lan Qiren (which I have slowly fleshed out over 40k words for my Big Bang fic)
3.Ā Revenge is a Side Dish Best Served With Tea: I love Lan Wangji as much as anyone else but letās face it, heās the pettiest petty to ever be petty. It was fun to explore Lan Wangjiās relationships with other characters when all his relationships are filtered through their relationship with Wei Wuxian.
4.Ā I Made My Choice and It Was You: What can I say? Lan Xichen and Wei Wuxian make good in-laws. I find post-canon Wangxianās relationships with other characters deeply fascinating because they burnt a lotĀ of bridges to get to where they are and now they need to slowly mend some of those bridges.
5.Ā Tangled Threads: This one was just posted! I had a lot of anxiety with this one because itās very different from what I normally write. Rather than a deep, introspective character study, this was a fun fic based on the premise of Xue Yang in anger management therapy with Wei Wuxian. It was a good exercise in broadening my bases as a writer :3 As this was written for the MXTX Big Bang, hereās some beautiful artwork for it!
