My fanfic year runs from the last day of November, so December always sees my year of fanfic. In the last year, I have published 5 fanfics- and 2 of those are still WIP’s. Not a very productive year for me, in other words. All of these have been from different fandoms:

All About Eve: Sable Coats and Razorblades (Addison DeWitt/Karen Richards, Addison DeWitt/Eve Harrington) WIP

Doctor Who: I Always Wanted To Be A Pirate Queen (The Hungover Remix) (Liz Shaw&Delgado!Master)

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel: A Moment (Midge Maisel/Lenny Bruce)

Timeless: To Lucy With Love (Garcia Flynn/Lucy Preston)

Versailles: The End of the Story (Fabien Marchal/Sophie de Clermont) WIP

Two of these fics are multi-chapters, and those are also my WIPs. A Moment got most kudos and hits. Most comments go to The End of the Story, but then it’s a multi-chapter with readers who comments on every chapter, so that is hardly surprising.

I only did two fic exchanges; The Chocolate Box and Remix Revival. I opted out of Night At Fic Mountain and darkest Night again and missed Yuletide due to severe cold. I hope to do it next year, and I also plan to at least do Chocolate Box and Remix.

I’m rather pleased with the few fics I wrote, and I have high hopes I will be able to finish the WIPs next year. The last chapter of the Versailles fics is ⅔ done, though I have lost my steam with that one. The All About Eve-one have the next chapter almost finished, and great chunks of the rest written in bits and pieces.

Right now I’m putting the finishing touches on a Yuletide treat. I have two half-written ones meant for treats too, but I won’t be able to finish in time.

Looking back I see I planned to finish The End of the Story in last year’s post too. Argh! And I didn't write one word on Mary’s Tale, which I had hoped to do. Double argh! I also have an idea for the finishing third Dracula-fic. The problem with that is that I need to edit the second one first. Or at least I feel I ought to. We’ll see. In the last week, I have finally got back into the habit of writing at least a little every day, and if I can keep up with that, I will probably be able to finish everything I want to finish…

And if there is something else you’d like to know I borrowed this nifty End of the year-meme from thisbluespirit (I know I have already answered some of these questions above, but I choose to keep all the question if someone else wants to gack it.)

Give me a number and I'll answer the question.

Usually retrospects takes place at the end of the year. But at that point Yuletide isn’t yet revealed, and those fics are, technically, written before the end of the year, though they are revealed after. So I do my retrospect now, instead.

Since December 2016 I have posted 13 finished fics and 1 WIP in 8 fandoms:
