I have stolen a meme from svgurl

Rules: give us the links to your fics with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the fewest words.

Most Hits: Playdates (Hawkeye TV, Yelena Belova/Kate Bishop, G, 593 words) - 836 hits. A trio of snippets from the POV of the dogs, Lucky and Fanny.

Second Most Kudos: And Puppy Makes Three (Boyfriend Material, Oliver Blackwood/Luc O'Donnell, G, 1,294 words) - 78 kudos. Oliver and Luc add another member to their family.

Third Most Comments: Something Wicked (Bunnicula, G, 6,352 words) - 11 comments. Halloween themed hijinks involving a haunted doghouse and a witch's familiar.

Fourth Most Bookmarks: Lessons Learned (The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Illya Kuryakin/Gaby Teller, Teen, 3,298 words) - 4 bookmarks. From missions to moments. The important part is that Gaby is learning things.

Fifth Most Words: A Little Quality Time (Star Trek AOS, Gaila/Uhura, Mature) - 2,753 words. Academy era friends-to-lovers. And they were roommates.

Fic with the least words: Three double-drabbles tied at 200 words but I'll chose one.
Familiar Fancies (Star Wars, Sabine Wren [and sort of Shin Hati], G) - Sabine's musings lean toward the mysterious stranger and her familiar mannerisms.

I swear I have searched high and low, in every corner and under every piece of furniture, for this damned fic I know I read and cannot find now. It's an itch in my brain. I need to find it and I can't. I'm climbing the walls.

Back in LJ's heyday you could at least pop into one of dozens of "hey help me find this fic!" communities and in all likelihood someone would know what super obscure fic you were badly describing and be able to help you. But I am despairing. I have filtered the tags ten ways to Sunday and read so, so many fics trying to find the right one, and no dice.

If you've read a lot of Trek AOS fics, specifically Mirror ones, and you think you might be able to help me with my problem, see me.

Happy New Year, everyone.

I am staying home because a) I am not one for parties, generally, b) I don't trust other people not to drive drunk or foolishly on this night, and c) It's raining, which means if I didn't trust people on the road before, I definitely don't now.

I'm having pizza, drinking the bottle of sparkling sake I picked up from a market in Little Tokyo last month, and writing up an exchange master letter with all of my fandoms, likes, and dislikes that I can just generally use for every exchange to save me the effort of having to fill out continuous requests. One and done!

In the meantime, I stole this "AO3 Wrapped" meme from mxcatmoon. It's not going to be very impressive on account of me only recently opening an AO3 account, but why not! I can compare next year's to this one and feel good about myself for all the progress I'm going to make.

7. Is there a fanwork you'd really like to make but are waiting to have the time/skill/brain/inspiration for it? asked by runpunkrun

Absolutely. I have a lot of ideas for longer, multi-chapter fics, but the only things I ever have the energy and time to complete are either drabbles or oneshot works that top out at around 3k words or so. I hold onto some of them, let go of others. Mostly the only things I finish are things that I sign up to write for other people, because that way there are at least stakes. If it's just for me, chances are it will never be done.

My Hanahaki fic in particular is something that is deeply personal to me, a sort of dedication to a real-life situation I've been in for a couple of years now. The trick with that one is that I can only seem to work on it when the relationship it's based on is making me feel particularly terrible and hurt and lonely. Things have been going pretty good lately, so I've had no real motivation to touch something that is meant to be so deeply angsty. My ability to write it and my ability to have a comfortable and happy friendship with this person are literally at odds, haha. And I may want both, but I definitely want the latter more.

Thanks for asking!

This girl gets it.

It takes some wading through her account to find the real gems, but boy are there a lot of them.

With a fic hangover, that is.

You know the feeling. When you discover an incredible author who just nails it, perfectly capturing the essence of every character, effortlessly weaving a story that keeps you scrolling endlessly, and you end up spending days or weeks reading every single thing they've ever written. And then... there is no more.

I don't know what to read next. Every fic I try and start just falls flat. Please, deliver me from this hell.

AOS McKirk recs appreciated. Also prequel movie Cherik, and the Ritchie film incarnation of The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

In other news, I think I broke my toe by slamming it into this very dense, very heavy piece of furniture.

In other other news, I have finally beat down my tabs to only four open tabs, which has not happened in over a year, at least.

In other other other news, I have been an idea machine these past couple of days. I have lots of ideas, I just need to get off my lazy ass and focus up and actually get some of this stuff written.

Hope you're all doing well!

I was supposed to be working on my piece for intoabar, but I wrote this instead for mxcatmoon because it is their birthday, and because they were one of the first people to befriend me when I showed up on the scene and have been cool to me ever since I sat down next to them on this stupid shuttle. Happy Birthday, friend!
