#reader wrapped

Hahaha haha weeeellll

"hergan416, this year you read 225 fics, and you visited them 1,912 times."

(OK this is overblown. The tabs may have been opened this many times or registered as a new hit that many times sure. But I really doubt it was ACTUALLY that many times.)

"That's 5,113,734 words of literature! Jesus."

Wait. Does it track how often I read my own fics? Is that part of it? Look I wrote them for a reason ok.?

Ok, that honestly doesn't surprise me. @nenya85 updates regularly and it was very good.

"These are the characters that showed up the most.

1-Kaiba Seto

2- Kaiba Mokuba

3- Yami Yugi | Atem

4- Vinsmoke Sanji

5- Rotonda Zoro"

Again, I'm a Kaiba stan and a prideshipping fiend. Not much to learn here other than Sanji is my go-to angst-in-the-middle-of-the-night character. Zoro isn't even my primary ship for him it's just easiest to find 🤦‍♂️

Ok. Nobody? I read more genfic than ship fic? Really???

And uhhhh here we go lmao

Angel icon for anal sex is great.

AO3 Wrapped & Instructions

I've been doing this for a few years but couldn't make it work last year (RIP 2024), the servers couldn't handle it and I eventually quit trying... but maybe I'll try again since 2025 worked for me.

😅 A look into what made it onto my digital bookshelf this year

28. Did any line/passage stick with you after you read it?

Yes, many. I'm sort of going with "passage" loosely because it's really the imagery and ideas in many cases, although sometimes it's just a line.

I'm most explicit about it because of how much it also influenced my writing in this comment thread from Malafide, but hyper's (@user-needs-new-hyperfixation) works in general were so so important for me as I first got into the fandom. Books & Blessings also is like the platonic WL character study to me. The image of Louis just sitting on the steps waiting for Will to come back from sneaking out of the house is just golden. [Also just the imagery of the mezzanine in Love, In All Its Disrepute... "and yet... "Safe," Albert answered" or something like that. -shivers-]

The mycal dancing scene from Dying Wish (SlvrSoleAlchemist1 and Dear_Partner) is also so strong that I literally have assigned Miley Cyrus' Flowers as a mycal breakup song from Albert's perspective because this is just their dynamic to me now, forever. Also the moment when they come back to the apartment and it's filled with TOO MANY FLOWERS and fuck anyway. Very good times, I think my brain will return to thinking about both those scenes forever.

Honestly, many of my mycal thoughts in general are probably more the words written by others.

Also oshiholic writes super vivid stories and I carry all of them with me. fragments (or, how not to pick up the pieces) is especially vivid because OUCH but like, honestly all of it. Yeah. All of it. [most ships involve an AW or WL element]

I already answered 30 (surprises for the year) here. But I did miss one thing:

That I stopped reading so many things because my hyperfixation changed. If I have a reading goal in 2024 its to catch back up with the ongoing fics that I had been gleefully enjoying for years and just.. stopped reading in order to make more time for writing and reading a different fandom. As this ask very much demonstrates... I did a terrible job of keeping up with my other fandoms this year. In all the ways.
