2014: The Year of the Writing Exchange

2013 was the year of my 365-day challenge in which I attempted to write one piece of prompted fiction or poetry per day. 2014 was defnitely the year of the Gift Exchange, in which I did more promptathons, prompt communities, writing challenges, and gift exchanges than ever before.


Invisible Ficathon

Fandoms: Averil's Atonement — Anne Shirley (fictional book); It Was a Dark and Stormy Night - Snoopy (fictional novel); The Havenite 'Faxes Colloquially Known as "Smutsies", Preston of the Spaceways (Fictional Show), Manticoran Holodramas (Fictional Entertainment), Honor Harrington Series - David Weber; The Stonebender Family stories by Jubal Harshaw

[7 stories & 2 poems, 6985 words]

[1 story, 369 words]

Be Compromised Remix Exchange

[2 stories, 2128 words]

Trope Bingo

Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe; Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol; X-Men (Movieverse); Firefly

I wrote a ton for this one because you could write for other challenges, fests, and exchanges with it, but counting only the stuff that was written for Trope Bingo and not appearing in the other counts here. (The link is everything but the Tumblr stuff [The Unusuals/Little Trip to Heaven], including overlap.)

[20 stories & 2 poems, 35,770 words; also 1 fanmix and several tumblr photosets with meta snippets]

Be Compromised Promptathon (of which I have some leftover to finish writing)

Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe; a smattering of comicsverse

[28 stories, 22,861 words]

Comment Fic Community (with more than 100 not yet crossposted :headdesk: )

Fandoms: Too many to list - no, really

Some of these are counted under Trope Bingo and one under the Promptathon, but that's because I'm not counting these. I have more than 100 not crossposted and those that are appear here.

Be Compromised Secret Santa

Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe

[1 story, 7,074 words]

Holiday Requests (of which, again, I have 2 more to write)

[9 stories & 30 drabbles, 15,243 words]

Aside from this roughly 100K worth of completed fanfic, there's a whole lot that had nothing to do with exchanges and/or fanfic. I think it's safe to say though that this was the most significant portion of my output.

Dear Purim Gifts Author

Dear Purim Gifts Author:

First, I shall begin by saying thank you for whatever you happen to write or create. I appreciate your gift because it is a gift.

I know only a little bit of Hebrew (got through one year, listen to Messianic music, and have a Hebrew Bible I muddle through while wishing I'd ever gone back to finish learning the language). If you work in Hebraic phrases, verses, etc. or longer with translation/footnotes, I will love it even if I'm anything but fluent, but sadly, it is not my native tongue.

General Please Don'ts: mpreg, lots of bodily fluids, oral sex, embarrassment of any kind, body-related humor, gore, excessive profanity, graphic violence, porn without plot (with plot, good to go), noncon, bashing, politics, controversial secular topics (whether it should be or not), deathfic.

General Please Do's: well-thought out crossovers (if you like), characterization, Jewish focus, women focus, and after that, pretty much anything goes. I love it all from fluff to humor to heavy angst. I would prefer canon-compliant to a total alternate universe, though I don't mind canon divergence.

If you need to ask questions about my taste, I recommend in_the_blue.
