Inspired by Spotify Wrapped arrival, here is the time for you to create a page with your 2020! Overview, Music, Movie and Quarantine! 

Skill to edit: medium main part are commented 

Don’t remove the credit! Tag me to show me what you have done!

hi! these are the results of the survey i asked you guys to fill out. we ended up getting 104 responses, which was way more than i thought we’d get, so thank you for taking the time to fill it out! i won’t be posting all of the questions because you probably don’t care abt them, but here are the main(?) ones :D

I was tagged by @ammocharis​ to share what I was working on over the past year! While this year has been hectic, I joined the wonderful DAOCE server and participated in Reddit threads that helped me develop my OC, Nehna! I also was inspired to pick up drawing, but that doesn’t have many pictures XD 

1. Piece I spent the most time on

(art for banner done by @singuminklarity​)

I started this labor of love this year, which was originally planned to be 20 chapters, and now I’m looking at possibly 40. I worked on it predominately throughout the month of November, with NaNoWriMo, and it has taken on a life of its own. Nehna is quite possibly one of my favorite OCs I’ve made, and it has also been an absolute blast to just fill in some of the lore for ancient elves and how life would have been. It is nowhere near done, but I am so excited to keep writing it. 

You can find that work here

2. Secret Santa

I did something new this year, and I participated in a Secret Santa, where I got to try my hand at writing someone else’s OC and their pairing. It was something that was nerve-wrecking, because you are never sure if you are portraying things correctly, but it paid off in the end! 

You can read what I wrote for my recipient here! Cullen ponders what to do for Wintersend. 

3. Piece I spent little time on

I have never really had a space to create a page for an OC, but I created a wiki page for Nehna, that gives her an overview of her character arch. It needs some tweaking, but it was interesting to figure out how to set up a wiki page! 

4. Ongoing projects

I have been doing some short drabbles that may or may not end up in the stories I have planned. Most of them are on reddit, but I might migrate them over to ao3. 

5. Academically

I assisted a comparative study that examined how Germany trains their police force vs. how my home county in the US trains theirs. The hope is to improve not only community relations, but also move towards a more holistic approach to dealing with crises in the community and limit fatalities and police brutality. 

I am also working on my PHD proposal regarding the ICC’s actions in African countries. It has stalled for a bit as a result of mental health, but I think I’m about seven pages in? 

Project count: who knows XD I haven’t taken my ADD meds to be that organized today. 

Thank you for the tag @ammocharis and @ohmypawsandwhiskers!

Fics published: 10. I have no idea how many I worked on...

Words published: 180,385

New things I’ve tried this year:

Shorter fic - my only published fic in 2019 was a longfic, so I tried for shorter. Success! All 10 I published were under 50k so far.

Art - I picked up traditional watercolor in late 2019 and expanded on it this year. I also picked up digital art over the summer. I’m terrible, so I don’t share it, but it’s a nice change of pace from writing.

Original fiction - I spent the latter half of 2020 developing my own world and my NaNoWriMo 2020 project was the initial draft of my first book.

Fic I spent the most time on: One for Sorrow - My NaNoWriMo 2019 project of Persephone Hawke and Knight-Captain Rylen’s main story. I finally started posting it even though I’m only about a third of the way through it. Persephone and Rylen have lived in my head rent free ever since I started, so it’s spawned multiple spin offs and thousands of words about the two of them.

Fic I spent the least time on: My only one shot that wasn’t written for an exchange is A Birthday Surprise.

Favorite piece of the year: I...couldn’t choose just one.

My Vow to You - written for the Black Emporium Exchange in which Skyhold celebrates the wedding of Inquisitor Trevelyan and Sky Watcher Amund. Avvar worldbuilding? Yes please.

All the Words Meaning So Much More - also for the BE Exchange, how Warden Loghain and Hawke fell in love.

A Much Deeper Truth - my favorite piece I wrote for myself. Persephone and Rylen are my completely self-indulgent OTP and I loved digging into where they began.

Most popular fic of the year: I finished Secret of My Heart this year, featuring Cullen and a non-Inquisitor Trevelyan. Just shy of 215k, it’s by far my longest and continues to get the most traction.

Im in the top 0.5% of listeners for Madison???!!!!!! WHAT?!!!!!??!!!?
