Fic Retrospectives (2022)
Jan. 1st, 2023 03:28 pmWoohoo! Return of the yearly Fic Retrospective! Last year I did a series for a couple years at once, since I had recently joined DW and wanted to collate a bunch of thoughts together, and DWs long formatting was PERFECT for it. I guess this means I've now been on DW for around a year, which wow!
Anyways 2022 I think was the year of trying out Big Bangs, Exchanges, Theme Weeks, and other such events XD. I've talked in my journal about various reflections on that in more detail, but I'll touch on some thoughts as I delve into the works themselves. Still, I luckily found some time to buckle down and focus on a few personal multichapters, though there were definitely moments I felt myself flagging. I also got a ergonomic keyboard and learned some VERY helpful wrist exercises that significantly helped some wrist issues that had been holding me back for the first half of the year or so.
So let's dive into it!
Boku no Hero Academia
( Dress Her Up )
( Ice in the Hot Springs )
( To Ensnare a Rabbit )
( Kiss Her Knife's Edge )
( You say you hate my guts, but you're still coming back for more )
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
( Where Is My Werewolf Lover? )
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
( Their Last Embrace )
Disney (Frozen/Sleeping Beauty)
( Careful Who You Don't Invite )
Basically I participated in a bunch of events. I branched out a bit more (especially thanks to exchanges due to the prompt nature of it) and tried some new things. Although events were fun, I think I'm gonna take a step back and focus more on personally-driven projects for 2023 (perhaps one or two exchanges/fan weeks). I learned that I really DO prefer multichapters over oneshots, so I think certain fan events just aren't the most suited to my preferred storytelling style. I'm at a pretty good spot in my life so I've had time/energy to write which has been lovely. I've also got some new tools to help with wrist issues which also helped me be pretty prolific this year.
Currently I do have one other work that I technically wrote during 2022, but have not posted bc it's for a Big Bang and my artist is delayed (or maybe dropping? Waiting to hear back from them, but I'm hoping to post with or without art soon bc it is long past deadlines). I also started publishing a new multichapter... a teen-rated BNHA fic focusing on Villain/Information Broker Momo, which I have a lot of ideas and a big outline for. I guess I'll have to review that for my 2023 retrospective!
