2010 in fic - a review

In 2010, mayachain posted thirty-eight fanfic posts to her name, which made up twenty-eight seperate stories; one mini-series in six parts,  nineteen one-shots, one sequel to an AU started in 2008, two mcsmooches, three follow-up ficlets for Honor Guard and four new parts to the birthday 'verse, four fic-exchange contributions and five stories inspired by somebody elses prompts.

The total word count amounts to ~33.500 words, which is really quite amazing considering how much time I spent on my master thesis and procrastinating by reading, not writing, fannish material. Compared to 2009, the range has narrowed somewhat, spanning from 250 to 4600 words. The birthday!verse is now ~7500 words long.

mayachain wrote in five different fandoms: One Yuletide fandom that shall remain nameless for another day, two stories in the X-Men Movieverse and Inception, respectively, seven ficlets and snippets for Harry Potter, and all of nineteen for Stargate:Atlantis. She feels saddened by the state of some of the w.i.p.s in her folder, but also accomplished about the amount of stories she got finished during the last two months.

I had the most fun writing my Yuletide story after my master thesis was finally done. Writing in this fandom was something completely different, and the revisiting of a canon that I hadn't laid eyes on for quite some time so I could do my recipient justice felt rewarding. Next to it, writing the remix of gblvr 's Kiss it better was probably the most challenging thing I did writing-wise all year. Or maybe that was Femina Cursor Est, getting to know Runner!Teyla and the alternate universe in which she lived.

In light of what else went on this year, I think I did pretty well. If I'd actually signed up at daily_writer each month instead of sporadically, progress would have been as constant as I hope it will be. There are a few w.i.p.s that are not stagnant, so there's plenty to do, plus I believe 2011 will, along with the unfamiliar RL experience of not being a student anymore, bring many new ideas!

A happy new year to you all,
