12 and 26 for the fic asks?
12. favorite character to write about this year
When it comes to fic, I am a creature of habit. It’s been years since I’ve written fic outside of the Check, Please fandom and all of my fic is Zimbits-centric. The majority of the fic I’ve posted this year is written from Bitty’s POV, but there are a couple of Jack POV pieces in there, and my upcoming Big Bang fic, which I’ve spent most of the past six months working on and is 41K, is a dual-POV fic. So it’s safe to say my “favorite” character to write this year was both of them. That said, I do have a preference for writing Jack’s perspective. Sometimes the story demands to be written from Bitty’s POV, though.
26. number of favorites/bookmarks you made this year
I don’t use ao3’s bookmarking feature nearly enough. It’s only been in the past two years or so that I’ve actually started bookmarking favorites, and a lot of my more recent bookmarks have been made when I’ve reread old favorites I don’t want to lose.
I’ve only added 15 bookmarks this year. Many, if not most, are old fics I revisited. Most are Check, Please fics but there are also some new Ted Lasso and Black Widow fics in there, as well as some old favorite Parks and Rec fics.
I read A LOT of amazing fic that didn’t get bookmarked which isn’t a reflection of the quality of the fic or my level of enjoyment; I just am not the best at remembering to use that feature.
