2018 in Review

isis's freeform questions, as usual.
...or, in other words, I more than doubled my AO3 wordcount! I also got a lot more subscriptions, both to my works and me, since I started posting WIPs on the regular. In general, my works grew longer and more explicit, as I learned to meld worldbuilding into shipfic.
Questions at Dusk, 18k of E-rated Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji, Modao Zushi. It's longish E-rated for the main couple, and published at a time when a bunch of people were desperate for any fic but the archive wasn't oversaturated yet.

If any of those sound more intriguing than the others in its category, feel free to discuss in the comments! I may or may not divulge more information – for the Sunshot Campaign AU one I kinda want to keep everyone as unspoiled as possible, including for the relationships. Worldbuilding notes I am willing to share for all, to at least some extent, and potential pairings for all but the aforementioned. An outline or snippet for some. One even has a summary already written. Save the published WIP, the most I have written is 7k, and a few aren't outlined anywhere but my mind. Come chat!

2019 Resolutions
I have a list!- Write at least 100k of words onto AO3
- Write at least one of the following, porn edition:
- Yu Ziyuan/Wang Lingjiao F/F rape with whipping, set during the time Wang Lingjiao appears at the Lotus Pier
- fill my own Zhao Yunlan/Shen Wei rape roleplay kinkmeme prompt
- novelverse Zhao Yunlan/Shen Wei that investigates Shen Wei's utter unwillingness to bottom and has him have to shed his disguise; armadda has an outline
- Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian, except Lan Wangji is a trans man
- Write at least one of the following, MDZS longfic edition:
- setting addition AU: name magic
- canon divergence + setting addition AU: Sunshot Campaign AU
- finish My Unconquerable Soul
- setting change AU: it's modern, and Lan Wangji summons a dragon Wei Wuxian based on instructions from a cereal package, then goes to live at the temple Jiang Fengmian is a priest at
- canon divergence: Wei Wuxian ends up at Baoshan Sanren's mountain instead of Dafan Mountain
- canon divergence: Mo Xuanyu doesn't bring back Wei Wuxian and instead exacts revenge for himself, darkfic
- Write at least one of the following, Guardian longfic edition:
- canon divergence: Ye Zun is redeemed via praise kink and sex pollen, thus OT3 Zhao Yunlan/Shen Wei/Ye Zun
- canon divergence + setting addition AU: omegaverse where Shen Wei has a teenage daughter, and Zhao Yunlan sets on wooing him – before tripping over and accidentally also bonding with Ye Zun; eventual OT3
- crossover where Wei Wuxian falls down into Ye Zun's pillar, then gets them out and somehow enrols into the same genetics classes as Shen Wei; this'd let me do stuff on how the cultivator society survived into the modern era and allow me to use the Best Name Jiang Rengliu 江仍流
- Go through the WIPs folders and see if there's anything easyishly finishable – there's a half-done and outlined Nirvana in Fire fic there which sees Prince Yu redeemed, at least; perhaps finish that one, or something else in there
