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?

That's so true, you really don't realize how much you've done until you sit down and take a look.

I challenged myself last year to, well challenge myself! To write tropes I'd never done before, to write pairings I'd never written, to be open to wider range of fic...and it was great. I want to keep that up this year and highly recommend it as a goal! And yeah, the downside of all that productivity...the housekeeping; the masterlist gets out of date quickly (yours too, I'm guessing?) ... so that's a good goal too! :)

Here's to a challenging, productive 2015 (with nicely updated masterlists!) :)

Masterlist - yeah, I was just writing so much I kept thinking, oh I'll get to that later. Six stories more and...chaos!! LOL!
