Fic from 2020

In 2019, I had 7 fics, which was pretty bad. This year I pulled 9, 7 of which were written in December. A word about this.

My job went insane in 2020. At a conservative estimate, my workload tripled. When I wasn't taking training, working, or handling computer problems, I was dealing with lockdown in other ways. Once my time freed up a little in December, I was stunned that I suddenly wrote rather a lot, though mostly in Yuletide-based fandoms I had never touched before. Here's 2020.

The Nightin(What Way Is This Logical?)gale - Harry Potter - Muggle Fairy Tales Are Mad series

Fortune's Fool - Romeo and Juliet - Tybalt fic

Once upon a Time - Thomas Kinkaid's "Christmas Cottage" (painting) - horror fic; no seriously

The Race Goes On - Ben-Hur (1959 film) - Messalah fic

Kitty Kisses: A Sestina in Praise of Courtly Cat Love - The Kiss (painting) - Inna Ruda

The Obvious Secret - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) - post-movie fic

The Women Speak - The Yellow Wallpaper - poetry

A House for the Mouse - Ladyhawke - post-film Philippe Christmas fic

Janice's Morning - The Muppet Show - Janice and Animal friendship fic

ETA: I just realized this is the only time every fic I've written in a year has been in a separate fandom. Huh.
