Another good writing year. I cleared my goal of 300K, with some to spare!

I posted a total of 339,055 words in 2024 (all posted on AO3). That is 100K less than last year but 450K words required more of a writing/life unbalance. I'm not sure how much moreof a 'life' I had in 2024 but it felt more reasonable.



Breakdown and miscellaneous things that I think are interesting:

• 233 postings -- now some of those are chapters of a fic, so not necessarily 233 stories, if that makes sense

I wrote in 5 different fandoms, along with a bunch of crossovers:

• Teen Wolf - 97 stories


• Harry Potter - 57 stories


• Stargate Atlantis - 28* stories


• 9-1-1 - 18 stories


• Stargate SG-1 - 3 stories


• Stargate Atlantis/Stargate SG-1 crossovers - 13 stories


• Teen Wolf/Harry Potter crossovers - 11 stories


• Multifandom crossover (i.e. all of the above) - 1 posting with 28 chapters, each separate ficlets</i>
  

*Although I technically posted only 27 SGA stories, I completed 49 mcsheplets prompts. I'm working my way through the original McSheplets prompt list (all 300 prompts), and I wrote a series of microfics that are chapters in larger post. But that brings me up to having completed 81 McSheplets prompts since I've started in 2023. As a result, I'm just over 25% of the way through that list.

The crossovers were largely part of no_true_pair and I completed 2 (!) sets of stories for the prompts. Next time, 1 set is enough.

As usual, fic length was all over the place:

• 35 drabbles of exactly 100 words (mostly Harry100 prompts, or Sterekdrabbles)


• 106 'short' fic, meaning over 100 and under 1000 words


• 4 over 10K, with the longest fic being 36K</i>
  
• 7 microfic posts where each chapter was a more-or-less standalone ficlet, generally under 100 words

The microfic stories were a fun writing challenge. I used it expand existing stories (i.e. the follow-up fic that could be written but I didn't necessarily have the time or energy) or, as I said, to fill in more McSheplet entries that I'd likely struggle meeting otherwise.

I did one podfic as part of a larger project. The original intent was for romancingmcshep, held in February, but the story didn't have the required happy ending, so we put it in sga_saturday's collection for Romancing SGA.

melagan and I ran a very low key Stargate Anniversary Fest, since it was 20 years since the first episode of Atlantis and 30 (!) years since the original movie was shown. Folk have added fic to this and there are 130 works in that collection.

Toward the end of 2024, I took over sga_secretsanta from popkin16 who had to give it up due to real life things. Many thanks to Popkin for her hard work over the years. The fest ended up with 25 lovely works, which is amazing for an older fandom.

Across the year, I wrote 27 stargateficrec entries, focusing on Jack O'Neill. It's fun to dig up some older O'Neill stories and share them with others. I did a small handful of fancake recs, largely in non-SGA fandoms.

Overall, it's been a good writing year and I'm looking forward to doing more in 2025!

Happy New Year!
