Fandom year in review...

[zara_zee]

Saw a few people on my flist doing this and it made me want to take a look and see what I've done this year. I thought I'd been more active than usual, but...wow... I've been busy!

In total, I wrote a little over 130,000 words of (posted) fic this year...

I did a bunch of challenges:

1 x spn_j2_bigbang
2 x spn_reversebang
1 x da_reversebang
1 x spn_summergen

Also,
2 x prompt fics
2 x 9.23 episode codas
9 (so far) x season 10 episode codas.

The episode codas have been great fun. Thanks to kalliel for the suggestion. Season 10 has been super inspiring and writing a coda is a great way to really get into an ep and think about it in detail. Reading everyone else's codas has also encouraged me to think about each ep in ways I may not have considered... overall, the whole coda club thing has really enhanced my enjoyment of this (already fabulous) season! (And if you're not already following spn_x and spn_bunker, you should be!)

I've read a whole bunch of awesome fic this year...and I'm STILL behind on my reading!!!

I also signed up for H/C Bingo in 2014, but I think I've failed dismally. I got...a couple done...and I've got some wips on my harddrive and I will finish them, but not in time for this challenge...

My New Year Fandom resolutions are:

• to continue with the codas and write one for every single episode


• to keep challenging myself to branch out and write new and different (for me) things


• to finish the J2 gladiator fic that I started for H/C bingo


• to update my masterlist which is so, so behind

I'm already doing the spn_reversebang again this year and have my first fic posting soon. I've then got a second fic for this challenge posting in February. And I plan to sign up for the spn_j2_bigbang again this year too.

What about you? How was your fandom year in 2014? What are you excited about in 2015?

Happy New Year and well done for being so productive!! I'm determined to sign up for the spn_j2_bigbang this year (for years I ignored this one because for some reason I thought it was j2 only - d'oh! - but I'm worried I haven't even got a seed of an idea yet). In fact, you've just reminded me that I haven't done my fandom New Year's Resolutions yet!

Thank you!

And, and... [falling over myself with excitement, here] With respect to spn_j2_bigbang... you DO have a seed of an idea!!!

You could do the sequel to 'You've done all the things that could kill you somehow' for this!! SPN Gen is totally allowed and H/C with massive Dean whump is always popular. :)

And then you could do the one where Sam keeps his promise and tells the nurse about their lives for the Gen Big Bang later in the year! :)

[And I've just realized you've posted that immediately post-purgatory prequel you were talking about, which I somehow missed in the madness of Christmas and New Year... off to read that now!]

Lol. Again, there's no logic here, but I always feel like I'd be cheating if I wrote a sequel for a Big Bang challenge. I might just go that route though if one of those stories grows longer than I intended.

No, I can see how you might feel that. A lot of people do write sequels for it, though. So long as each story is complete, I don't think it really matters, and you can always put a link to the first story with your new fic. But I do see where you're coming from. :)

Yeah, I'm definitely up for signing up this year - it's always felt like the 'big' one so I'll be excited to take part.
