Scratching Post

I still exist! I... just don't exist here on this specific platform very often.

I've been concentrating on writing my original stuff, but stalled out a bit right around the time HC Bingo came around for the year, so you can see what happened there. Eventually, though, I realized I was using those stories to stall from what I really should have been working on. So, here is everything that was pending (which constitutes a bingo, btw) in hopes it gets my ass in gear again:

Decided to challenge myself to write some fluff instead of the usual angst. 31 fluffy prompts. 31 fluffy short stories. All are Shadowhunters in genre.

Here at AO3.

Which totally means I’m back on my usual shit again.

Yep, got a card again. Yep, forgot to post it.

( My hc_bingo card )

This is a long, long way from the years where I wrote 70+ fics. Too much stress, too little time, too much RL - it all added up.

To be fair though, I have also spent the vast majority of the year poking at a total self-indulgent fic that currently stands at 51k and wow, I thought it was like at 30k so, um, yeah, there's a reason right there.

Anyway, fic breakdown for 2015:( Under the Cut )

Only 12 finished fics. I has a sad.

Since it's doubtful that I'll post anything else before the year is out, here's my fic Year in Review meme thingy. :)

( Agents of SHIELD )

( Avengers )

( Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters )

( Merlin )

( Musketeers )

( Orphan Black )

( Outlander )

( Stargate: SG-1 )

32 fics total. Well, 33 if you count the Yuletide one I can't reveal yet. I'll update when that goes live and/or if I manage anything more. A far cry from past years, but not too shabby?

Robot, er, Fic Roll Call!

Linking to the AO3 versions as it is so much easier. Crossovers are listed by primary fandom. 41 fics in all... that I can remember. Almost wish there was one more because, yes, I am that kind of geek.

( Agents of SHIELD )

( Avengers )

( Fringe )

( Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters )

( Orphan Black )

( Stargate: Atlantis )

As a side note, it should totally count as a story or an award or something just coding these things...

A) Links to AO3, if they exist, should be found by clicking any of these. I haven't finished uploading this year's fics, let alone the past few years.

B) I was in a huge writing slump for the first part of the year due to work and stress and such, with the majority of the fics written this year being written in the last half and for Hurt/Comfort bingo.

C) You can also pretty much tell when I fell in love with The Avengers over pretty much anything else.

Links to all stories, separated by fandoms:
( Avengers )

( Crossovers )

( Fringe )

( Highlander )

( Merlin )

( Old Kingdom )

( Supernatural )

28 total - far, far less than in years past.

Yeah, I can already tell you I am not going to top the past few years’ of 70-something. The combo of the move, the shoulder, the sick, and the stress from not knowing if I was still going to be employed (hint: I am) took its toll.

So, without further ado...

( Merlin )

( Sherlock (BBC) )

( Fringe )

( Stargate: Atlantis )

( Highlander )

( In Plain Sight )

( Yuletide – not actually listed )

It looks like 41 this year (counting the crossovers only once). Still have the merlinreversebang one to finish and post, and have a couple other ones pending, but there is no way they will be done in the next six hours, so that’s it for 2011!

It's that time again: the year in review fic-wise. There's not quite as many as usual, and there are still some to be revealed, but this is it so far:

( Year of Fic )

61 stories total, unless you count Maggie, and then it is 68. I have several more in progress, but not ready to post, so this is likely it for the year.

As an added bonus, wolfie74 just came in to say she believes she got my site up and running again! Last update was roughly two years ago (that we found a copy of), so there be a lot of new pages that need to be made.

Edit: It was pointed out I forgot two SGA comment fics that were never crossposted anywhere. Those are now added and totals are updated and maybe I should put them in separate posts for archiving purposes? Or maybe I should just find some caffeine instead.

It’s possible that this may change as I have two stories pending the final review right now. Then again, given my lack of focus as of late, this will probably be it.

Total stories written in 2008 = 74
Total fandoms (including original fic) = 8

( Round Up Behind the Cut )

Edit: Crap! I totally forgot about both the Care Bear Porn I wrote for seperis and the My Little Pony anorexia fic! Both can be found under the crap fic tag. That brings the total to 76.

Edit Again: Per threnodyjones' reminder, there is another crap crack fic that was over at her site and now reposted above. That brings the total to 77. Fitting much?
