Fanfic 2018 Review
First of all I'd like to complain about this damn mobile app. Why can't I highlight the original post so I can copy/paste the template??? And why is it so hard to highlight texts so I can bold each line?! Fuck.
Anyway.
I thought I didn't write anything at all last year, but it turns out I did so here I go. Thanks to @eyeliner-vampire for the tag.
Total number of stories (completed/WIP: (1/4)
Contact Mind Reading (fin); Finding the Balance; Game, Set, and Match; GH/Bloodborne crossover; Ascension
Total word count: 11.5k of published
Fandom written in: Ghost Hunt, Bloodborne, own shit
Looking back, did you write more fic than you would this year, less, or about what you'd expected:
As much as I expected. I started grad school in August last year and really didn't have time to do much writing or drawing. I am hoping this year will be a little better.
What's your own favorite story of the year?
Contact mind reading. It was nice to let the idea stew for a while before writing it out. Usually I'm the kind of person who comes up and writes out all sorts of ideas first, then I shave off what doesn't belong, etc. For this I had to do careful research about the Contact Mind Reading definition. I even watched videos on how people do it, read some Hocus pocus books, some more legit sounding ones, etc.
Did you take any writing risks this year? Do you have any fanfic or profit goals for the new year?
Not really much risk technique-wise I think. Maybe you could count going for a Masako/Mai/Naru ot3 plot a risk. Haha. As for my goals, I would like to write at least 3 chapters for Game, Set, Match so I can inch toward wrapping that up...
Best story of the year? Contact mind reading. I feel it was very on character and I really tried to make it like canon. People also told me it sounded legit so I believe them.
Most popular story of the year? Game, set, match
Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion: Contact Mind Reading. Not many people left reviews (though those that did really gave me such an overwhelming kudos). I think because most people read fanfic to deviate away from canon, maybe? That's why tennis god Oliver Davis is a bigger draw.
Most fun story to write:
Game, Set, Match is always fun. Some of the scenes are drawn from experience, some quirks of the characters were from people I knew. This makes it very organic for me and... Just fun to write.
Story with the single sexiest moment:
None yet. But I had a sexy moment for Finding the Balance that I have not been able to write at all, and some mild teasing with Game, Set, Match. I always chicken out of these...
Most sweet story:
Sweet? None... I just realized my stories/chapters last year was mainly about Masako being left behind or being sad! Whut.
"Holy crap, that's wrong, even for you" story:
Nothing, anything is possible for me. Except sexy times I guess. Damn, one day!
Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters and most unintentionally telling story:
Contact Mind Reading. I really tapped into Masako there. This led to Finding the Balance, and got me thinking more about her role on Game, Set, Match.
Hardest story to write:
Game, Set, Match. "But you said that was 'fun' to write!" Yes yes, but it's just so hard to sit down and actually work on it!!
Biggest disappointment:
Myself. Lul, no. Nothing really. I'm okay with last year. Things come up, it's no big deal. The world isn't ending so I'll try again this year.
Biggest surprise:
That I actually wrote. I seriously didn't remember. I thought it was all 2017.
Tag: @flychansan @tiffotcf @samantha-girlscout and I'm not sure who else haven't been tagged so please fill one out... If you do end up writing one, I hope you tag me so I can make sure to read it!
