#2020 wrapped

[acidcitypoets]

imagine if ao3 did a yearly wrap. you read 2.5 million words from 14 different fandoms. your interests ranged from coffee shop aus to blood kinks. 37 stories featured major character death. happy reading!

seeing a post being like ‘were you in an artist’s top 0.5% of listeners or are you normal’ and being like no:) i was in top 0.01%:) what does that mean for my normal-ness level lmao

I didn’t write nearly as much this year as compared to past ones, but i do feel like I’ve grown as a writer and i’m pretty proud of what i accomplished! so, with that being said, here’s an almost-wrap of my 2020 works:

I wrote 134,327 words (on AO3), for a grand total of 554,906 since 2018!

My top 5 stories were:

Where All the Dreamers Go: When a Dream spell gone wrong sends the Mighty Nein into the mind of Caleb Widogast, they find themselves lost in a sea of more than just memories. Though this ensemble story has been in the works for a long time, it is now officially finished as of this year!

A Storm is Blowing in from Paradise: An angel falls from heaven and straight into a lake while Beau and her friends are on summer vacation. A Storm is one of my favorite stories by far, and while it’s still in the works, I do very much plan to resume updates over winter break!

Now What Are the Chances of That?: Caleb needs an apartment, and the mysterious Mr. Thelyss needs to convince his mother to let him stay in Nicodranas. Any emotions as a result of this are completely incidental (and unintentional). A Shadowgast WIP that I also promise I’ll revisit soon!

that might be fucked up of us (it's a miracle): Yasha thought she lost her soul mate years ago. Beau was sure she’d never find hers. I’m just a sucker for soulmate AUs.

This is a Pirate Ship: the crew of The Mistake (rest in pieces) discuss their captain with Marius and Gallen.

Between my senior thesis and the everything-else of 2020, I really haven’t gotten a chance to write quite as much as I’d have liked to. Still, I’m hopeful for what the next year might bring, and I hope to keep writing stories to share with you all as we venture on! I love you all, and happy (almost!) new year, y’all <3

2020 (Fic Rec Wrapped)

I think I posted like 4 fic recs this year and I wanted to do more to show my appreciation for writers, but I totally dropped off once school started and I’m sorry! So, to finish off 2020, I wanted to share my love for my favourite stories I read this year. These are the 10 stories that live RENT FREE in my head okay. They’ve CHANGED me. And I AM going to be suing for emotional damages. 

In alphabetical order:

4 Times You Thought He Would Kiss You + 1 Time He Did (Travis Dermott x Reader) @jasondickinsonss - This is 1 of 2 fics I read this year to which I sent the author a Snap from the floor because I was knocked off my feet in feels. The characterization, the building, the softness. Chef’s kiss, Kylie, chef’s kiss. 

Agree to Disagree (Mat Barzal x Reader) @matbaerzal - This is hands down my favourite Barzy fic of all time. I just could not stop laughing! This is totally my comfort fic for when I’m sad. 

All You Never Say (Nathan MacKinnon x OC) by @danglesnipecelly - I believe my tags on my original reblog were along the lines of “I didn’t come here to be emotional over Nate at 4am but here we are” and, well, (as I’m writing this) it’s 4pm and I’M STILL EMOTIONAL OVER NATE! I will shout praise about this story from the rooftops if I have to.

A Third (TK x Reader x Nolan) @holy-pucks - *incoherent screaming* 🥴🥵😺🦋 is all I have to say. This is the HOTTEST thing I read all year holy fuck.

Filth (Matthew tkachuk x Reader) by @thirteenisles - This is the imagine that made me like Matty and I still hate you for it, KO. You made me like one of my most hated players, okay, that’s talent. 

Four Times Your Best Friend Ruined A Date + One Time He Didn’t (Mat Barzal x Reader) by @broadstbroskis - This was just so cute and so completely Mat and I love it. I am a sucker for the 4/5+1s and this one made me melt. 

Something To Prove (Nolan Patrick x Reader) by @jasondickinsonss - This story made me a Nolan stan and I have lost count over how many times I have messaged you about it. When I think about you as a writer, this is the story that comes to mind. 

Tequila (Tyson Jost x OC) @zuucc - Do I ever need to explain this? I think we all know. Raise your hand if you’ve been emotional destroyed by this story *raises hand*. 

Then I Met You (Mat Barzal x Reader) by @matbaerzal - This is the other story I sent a Snap to the author from the floor. I waited months for this story and it was SO worth it. Musician!Barzy is now my favourite AU and I literally had to put my phone done and take a walk when you made Tito the bass player (with an acoustic bass) because he’s the loml and I’m a bass player.

Two Truths and a Lie (Tyson Barrie x Reader) by @danglesnipecelly - I SOBBED my way through this story and then sobbed in your DMs over it and I’m not sorry. You ripped my heart out with every story I read and I love it. This is my go to Tyson story and it just makes me so soft. 

This is only my top 10, there are plenty of amazing stories out there that made making this list very hard. Thank you to every fic writer that kept writing and posting in this shitshow of a year. Every story I read made the year a little better. xx
