Fanfic asks for the new year

From this post on tumblr:

I’ve seen a lot of ask memes focused on the past year, but none for what people are planning or hoping for in their writing in the new year. So here are a few questions that I thought of… feel free to add more!

1. Do you have a word-count goal for 2018?

2. Will you participate in any fandom exchanges or fic challenges, etc?

3. Do you anticipate writing for a new fandom in 2018? Which one?

4. Do you think you’ll stop writing for a fandom in 2018? Which one?

5. Which WIP is first on your list to complete this year? Will you post a snippet?

6. Which yet-to-be-started fic is first on your list?

7. Will you change anything about the way you interact with other writers?

8. Is there a story idea in your mental vault that you’ve never been brave enough to try writing? Is 2018 the year?

9. Short term goals… what do you hope to complete this week or in January?

10. Will you keep a record of all the fics you write and/or post this year?

11. Would you like to try any new fanfic genres or tropes in 2018?

12. Will you change anything about the way you edit or rewrite in 2018?

13. Aside from fanfic, are there any other fan works you’d like to try creating? Fanart, or fanvids, gifsets, or podfic?

14. Have you ever lost large chunks of your work in the past, due to not backing up your work? Will you change your methods in 2018?

15. Do you foresee any personal or professional obstacles in 2018, that would keep you from creating fanworks?

16. Do you have that one fanfic that you wrote a ton for, ages ago, but never posted? Will this be the year, come hell or high water, that it WILL get finished and posted?

17. Do you typically answer all comments/reviews individually? Do you plan to change the way you interact with your readers this year?

18. Do you typically post multi-chapters as you write, or finish it all and then start posting? Would you like to change your posting method?

19. Would you consider non-fandom writing events, like NaNoWriMo or writing contests?

20. Any plans to work on original fiction this year?

Questions 8, 9 and 12 answered here.

Fandom Snowflake: Day 9 - Self-Recs

Day 9

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

It's funny. I have over 400 fics on AO3, but there's only a handful I might consider reccing. Most of them I've recced in previous years. (The Chrysanthemum Vow is my go-to fic rec, because although it's four years old, I haven't done any better yet.) Anyway, things from 2017:


1. I wear these scars, I own these mistakes: Kavinsky, Ronan/Adam (The Raven cycle, T; 2,733 words; 28 August 2017)
Rehab AU. A year after the fateful Fourth of July party, Kavinsky suddenly comes out of the woodwork to apologize for what he's done.

I've written a LOT of TRC this year, but I think this one's my fave. Honourary mention to "I've tasted hell and it tastes just like you" (Rovinsky pwp), because that's the one that actually helped me break into writing for the fandom, and "Stay with me, I'll show you paradise" (same), which is its companion, but which I'm a tad fonder of because it shows Kavinsky a little more broken.


2. Fingers to the head, pointed like a gun: Harley Quinn/Jason Todd (Batman: Arkham Knight, T; 9.5k) 2/?
Post-game WIP. Jason and Harley team-up.

I posted the second chapter in October after a year of "hiatus" - and I wrote most of the chapter in a day, a fact which still boggles me. I'm not 100% satisfied with the ending, but eh, I might scrub it a bit when I post the third chapter.


3. here is a sing song of all the things you make me think of: Harley/Dinah/Ollie (Injustice: Gods Among Us, T; 2,565 words; 01 April 2017)
Harley loves the spring, with its colors and feelings of love it brings out in everyone.

More or less a stream of consciousness fic from Harley's pov. Rambling is one of my favourite things to do and here Harley's rambling on about the colour green and its associations for her.

Honourary mention to "Turn my secrets inside out and you will find me" (DCEU: Harley Quinn/Wonder Woman), which is another rambly fic dealing with Harley's crush on Diana. My last work of 2017.
