2017: A Retrospective

Nabbed from isis's 2016 in review post. Only doing questions rather than "Top Three By X", because that's a drudge.

My favorite story this year:
Waves from Eternity, in which I got to combine my loves for poetry of both regular and vaguely pretentious sort, and spaaaaace! Bits of it are hard science fiction; others, songs. Writing it was enjoyable!

What's next for 2018?
More Nirvana in Fire, more exchanges, reading new books and maybe watching stuff, too. I'll try to art, perhaps. I don't feel like making any NYRs.

Last year's NYR

I'll write more words – I got 41k this year, let's see if I can get 50k! (That should also bring my AO3 total wordcount to >100k from its current 86k.) I'll also write some explicit F/F. (Ana Khouri/Ilia Volyova, perhaps?) I'll investigate the Culture series and The Traitor Baru Cormorant, since karanguni's id is apparently my id, and there are Yuletide requests to write. I'll finish that WIP I promised james. And continue the Vorkosigan reread.

50k in 2017: ahahaha nope
explicit F/F: yes, twice, though not Ana Khouri/Ilia Volyova
Culture series: investigated, bounced off
Baru Cormorant: read, liked
WIP: ahahaha nope
Vorkosigan reread: nope
Summa summarum: 3 out of 6, or 50% done on NYRs.

Oh, and there's a post-Yuletide friending meme ongoing! Be sure to take a peek.
