2018 Fic Year in Review

[bookishwench]

This was a weird year for me as far as writing fic goes.



January
Fic: The Ugly Du(You Lot Ever Tell Happy Stories?)ckling - Harry Potter - Muggle Fairy Tales Are Mad

February
Fic: The Goose That Laid the Golden E(ugh! That's Horrid!)ggs - Harry Potter - Muggle Fairy Tales Are Mad

March
Fic: The Brave(ry Weird) Little TailorMuggle Fairy Tales Are Mad entries

April
Fic: The Swan and the Go(od Grief, at Least It's Brief)ose - Harry Potter - Muggle Fairy Tales Are Mad

Nothing again until...

September
Fic: The Golden(tirely Too Many Stories about Geese) Goose - Harry Potter - Muggle Fairy Tales Are Mad

Nothing in October, then I wrote my Yuletide fic in November
The Applicant - Animaniacs - Hello Nurse backstory

Then I wrote a series of Yuletide Madness fics over November-December
Quarreling - Much Ado about Nothing - Benedick/Beatrice
By Any Other Name - Sleeping Beauty (1959) - Aurora/Phillip
L'onore Della Famiglia - The Godfather - Connie
When Sugar Goes Sour - Mary Poppins/Harry Potter xover - Minera and Mary
The Daughter's Tale - The Handmaid's Tale (book) - Offred's daughter
The Second Dance - The Pied Piper of Hamelin



So 12 fics total, half of them written during about six weeks in November/December. A lot of these were fandoms I haven't written before.
Fandom breakdown:
6 Harry Potter (All in Muggle Fairy Tales Are Mad except for a crossover)
1 Animaniacs
1 Much Ado about Nothing
1 Sleeping Beauty (1959)
1 The Godfather
1 Mary Poppins
1 The Handmaid's Tale
1 The Pied Piper of Hamelin

Also, a dead spot of four full months, and another month.
Out of nineteen years writing fic, this was on the low side, 5 with totals lower, and one tying back in 2001. It's also significantly less than the 29 I wrote in 2017.

We'll see what 2019 holds.
