Family has started to descend upon me, so while I might nobly post something at some point next week, my posting spree will probably be over. It was nice while it lasted, and ran for almost two weeks in a row! My Yuletide assignment is done, but I still have a treat I want to make cohere. At least my dear beta's been very helpful.
For those of you new to DW, every year from 1 to 15 Jan,![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
snowflake_challenge will be posting a prompt for discussion/talking about. They generally include stuff like "rec 3+ fanworks" and such. The topics are roughly the same each year, so I won't be doing it in 2019, as my fandom-related milestones don't really change much, year to year. Here's the revamped promo graphic:
As for the actual contents of this post, I was looking at my stats page, and realized that each and every work of mine had at least one bookmark, save the one I wrote forspace_swap and my Yuletide assignment, which is still unrevealed. Modao Zushi fandom seems to be really into bookmarking stuff! Even this experimental thing no-one clicked on has a bookmark! (I, on the other hand, bookmark none of the things. Except maybe resources like the Liang Primer ![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
ofsevenseas wrote for Nirvana in Fire fandom.) This is kinda cool, as I've received 328 bookmarks this year so far, and 591 bookmarks over the whole of my writing career. (55% of my bookmarks were this year! Then again, 54% of my published wordcount has happened this year, too.) I can finally start using bookmarks in my year-end stats in a reasonable way!
My subscriptions have gone way up, too – 33 people have subscribed to me, up from 5 in 2016. (I didn't write down the stat for 2017, boo.) Modao Zushi fandom people seem to like subscribing to works, too – I did admittedly start actually posting WIPs, but a bunch of my oneshots have subscriptions as well. Perhaps people are using them also as private bookmarks? (Highest subscription count was 54, for Rediscovery, Reconstruction.)
In other Modao Zushi news, I have 7k of fic that stalled back in ... September? I started writing it in late August, then stalled on like the 4th of Sept when I realized I'd have to write the Sunshot Campaign again, and I didn't wanna. Then I wrote Rediscovery, Reconstruction plus ~10k of other WIP stuff, including my Yuletide fic. So I'm posting the first bit of words beneath a cut, to see if anyone has any opinions on it. (I'm not expecting any – very few people on DW are in the fandom.)
Upon rereading, I discovered that my writing skills have leveled up in the interim, and Lan Wangji is perhaps a little OOC. Completely unbeta'd and unrevised. The finished product will pair up more people than the fic's main characters, and I realized that ship tags are technically spoilers, so I think if this ever goes anywhere, I'll first post it without any ship tags! The readers can then nail-bitingly observe Jiang Cheng's love life! (I do, however, promise that Wei Wuxian will not end up with an OC of any stripe.) Setting is very technically omegaverse without betas, but given that heats don't exist, it's just people who smell of things with normalized mpreg. Qianyuan = alpha; kunze = omega.
( ~500 words, bit is maybe T-rated )
...actually, I might as well dump another of my ideas here! Name magic is always a cool thing, and Modao Zushi affords us true-names in an easy way: birth names! (Cons: I would have to write an entire fic referring to Jiang Cheng as Jiang Wanyin, but whatever, I'm sure readers would manage.) This one has a plot that's based on post-Sunshot Campaign stuff, which the translation hadn't gotten to yet at the time I acquired the idea. (21.9.)
( ~300 words, G-rated )
As for My Unconquerable Soul, that one's been on the backburner, also due to needing more stuff to know about the translation. I have one aside written and two more planned, as well as an outline for the rest, but ... I needed the vacation from it all. Let's see over the winter break.
