Favorite fic you wrote this year.
Passions of Some Difference.

Least favorite fic you wrote this year.
Paris Redux. This is actually a bit unfair because this makes it sound like I don’ like it. But I like it a lot. It’s just that it’s pretty much a PWP, so compared with the other fics, this has the least substance.

Favorite line/scene you wrote this year.
No idea. I’m very pleased with a great many of them, so I can’t choose.

Total number of words you wrote this year.
111328. Which are more words written than any year previously!

Most popular fic this year.
How do you decide that? By hits, kudos, comments, or bookmarks? Well, I disregard hits, because it says little of what people actually think. Then it must be The Number of Vices which got the most kudos and bookmarks. The Might of His Strength got the most comments.

Least popular fic this year.
Sable Coats and Razorblades, which is hardly surprising, as it’s an All About Eve-fic, which is a tiny fandom with only 17 fics on AO3, and in addition Addison DeWitt/Karen Richards, which is a ship I’m the only one writing.

Longest completed fic you wrote this year.
The Number of Viceswith 23876 words.

Shortest completed fic you wrote this year.
Paris Redux with 1634 words.

Longest wip of the year.
Passions of Some Difference with 48807 words. Even unfinished, this is the longest fic I have ever written.

Shortest wip of the year.
Sable Coats and Razorblades with 6496 words

Fandom you enjoyed writing for the most this year.
The Queen’s Gambit, which definitely got me out of my fanfic writing slump with 5 completed and 1 WIP fics. Compared that with the 2 other fics I have been writing on this year, which are both WIP started before 2021.

Favorite character to write about this year.
I must confess that is a character of my own making. The villain of Passions of Some Difference evolved from a generic bad guy to a character with a complete backstory, with interests and personal relationships. He has been so much fun to write, and judging my reader's response to him, he really works as a character. As it’s always a bit scary to introduce original characters in fanfiction, I am very pleased.

Favorite writing song/artist/album of this year.
I don’t listen to music while I write, but I listened repeatedly to Jacques Brel’s La chanson des vieux amants while I wrote The Black King.



A fic you didn’t expect to write.
Passions of Some Difference. It started with a request on The Queen’s Gambit Kink Meme, “KGB agent makes Borgov noncon Beth”. It gave me a little evil plot bunny that I didn’t expect to write, but after discussing it with a friend it has evolved into one of my most complex fics- probably also the best fic I have ever written.

Something you learned this year.
That I’m not as bad at creating plots as I previously thought

Fic(s) you completed this year.
Five. two multi-chapters, and three one-shots.

Fics you’ll continue next year.
Well, my three newest WIPs are all fics I have written on this year, and which I plan to continue and hopefully also finish next year.

Current number of wips.
Five. One I started this year, the rest is older.

Any new fics to start next year?
Oh yes. I have a TQG-fic I really want to write. And several ideas I like to develop in a number of fandoms.

Number of comments you haven’t read.
None. odd question, if you ask me.

Most memorable comment/review.
There’s this lovely person in the TQG-fandom who just gives the best comments. Every single one is incredible, very long, and detailed. I’m in awe!

Events you participated in this year.
None. I did write two treats for The Chocolate Box, but I didn’t sign up.

Fics you wanted to write but didn’t.
I have a couple of very old WIPs I had hoped to make progress on this year but didn’t. I also have the third part of my Dracula-trilogy still unwritten.
