2019 Overview and FIC
Happy New Year, friends!
It was definitely a mixed bag of a year for me. There were some pretty big highs, mostly involving meeting online friends and attending my second ever Stargate convention. And some lows, including my ex husband moving away without a word and abandoning our son.
In the world of scrapbooking, I can report eleven completed pages and way too many newly-purchased digital elements and papers. Most of them were Christmas-related, like this one:
On the writing front, I had a strong start to the year but a fairly weak finish. Not sure where my mojo went, but finding words was almost impossible. Overall, though, it was a good writing year for me. I was able to step back from the pressure of deadlines and challenges, which meant I was much more relaxed with my writing. I’m hoping to continue that into the new year.
Here’s my AO3 overview for 2019, which I’ve seen some other friends doing.
124 fics posted, which is a ridiculously high number. But a lot of those fics were short fills.
150,265 words posted, which is down about 70k from last year.

I could compare all these numbers to last year, but I don’t want to make myself feel bad. ::grins::
Most Hits
First Time, And Again: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Bucky and Steve getting their sexy on.
Most Kudos & Most Bookmarks
Three Times John Used His Words: Stargate Atlantis, John and Rodney taking turns getting whumped while progressing in their relationship.
Most Comment Threads
Feels Like Home: Stargate Atlantis, Rodney deals with John’s major head injury and many, many feels ensue.
Most of my low counts are in the Trixie Belden fandom, which is a small, small fandom. So I’m not surprised there. It hasn’t stopped me from wanting to write it, though.
Favorite Thing I Wrote This Year
A Letterkenny Family Reunion: Letterkenny/Stargate Atlantis, Once the idea popped into my head of Wayne and Rodney being related, it wouldn’t go away. I really like how it came out, even though it was only my second ever Letterkenny fic.
Favorite Series I Started This Year
Sagebrush Tales: Hawaii Five-0 (with some crossovers), Danny and Steve fighting the good fight in the Old West. It’s been fun making them cowboys and finding ways to bring in some familiar faces. This all started thanks to some prompts on.
