...because I'm insane enough to continue that this year
I've read 3 million words in fic this month!
Plus about 100k in books :) I read Agatha Christie's Miss Marple 'Nemesis' which is around 60k (only somewhat racist and homophobic lmao), started her first Poirot 'The Mysterious Affair at Styles', finally finished Terry Pratchett's Discworld 'Guards! Guards!' (can recommend! One of the best Discworld books yet) and started 'Moving Pictures' and also started by Jacques Berndorf 'Die Raffkes'.
If you want to check out this month's fic recs, pretty much exclusively Star Wars, you can find them here! And I think I never shared my December Recs because I did my overall year in review last month - more Star Wars fic recs on Ao3 here!
~~~ continue reading ~~~
Did my history in excel as explained here and got a sun of 4984775 words, then back to my bookmarks on Ao3, (exclude # series, exclude # external source) - # to read: -12983-2512-8993=−24488 & - # to continue reading: -149092-44314-54373-20203-121366-79050-142243-271618=−882259 - # Jan25 (especially high because I backuped old stuff and had to click it again but didn't reread): -30208-9979-6133-298450-24551-55765-82313-146360-21196-6134-11570-88468-15443-32999-45319-124359-61515-88731-2940=−1152433 + external source (exclude # to read, # to continue reading): 3000+10000+29000+31435+6000=79435
And I ran the list of authors I got in my Excel sheet of the month's Ao3 history through https://wordcounter.net/ so I can say with some certainty that the most fic I've read this month were from @shadowmaat @formlessvoidbeast @triscribe @wanderingjedihistorian @one-real-wrimonkey and @taz80390 (xypherskoti)! Thanks for all the fics <3 No-pressure-tagging y'all's to also check out what you've read this month :)
You are amazing and i love your stories, tho I am a bit sad you dont have time really to read much anymore... tho I think that as mostly bc I’m more suited to being a reader ya know? ANYWAYS I’m rereading your Naruto fics (no idea why other than THEY ARE AMAZING, but I’m not so much into it anymore) and just wanted to say you always do such a good job at portraying characters, I actually think you sometimes do the best with characters you hate you you seem to get them more, so yeah. Anyways! This was just a Kat appreciation post thingy
I’m living for that clone Obi-Wan AU. I almost think that it would be enough to make Aniken realized how he feels about Obi-Wan. And it doesn’t really seem to be platonic 🤷🏻♀️ that’s just my take on it though
Oh, rest assured: when it’s a silly AU on this blog, which involves Anakin in any way and whose punchline is “and Obi-Wan was uncomfortably handsome”, it’s at least not 100% platonic. 😂
So I was thinking lol about a story a just read. Hubby and wife started jobs together at the same place and wore rings and all, but no one knew they were married. They’d step out of the office for lunch and stuff. The other ppl in the office kept coming up to the hubby and we’re all like “you know she’s married and all that how could you” etc etc. both of them were kinda baffled about this until they finally came forth and weee like like “uh yeah we’re both married... to each other” dunno why I heard of it and immediately thought of Padme and Savage. (Bc you have me a crippling love of rare pairs lol)
Oh my gods.... this last chapter was amazing... I feel so bad for Agen. Hells bells he doesnt deserve that shit but gods he just takes it. Bc it’s what’s needed. It makes me so sad for him. This was fabulous as always.
