2020 in Review

isis's freeform questions, as usual.
* published. WIPs are counted as belonging to the year the last chapter was published in, so the discrepancy of figures for 2019 is due to me updating For No Cradle Lasts Forever in 2020, transferring it wholly into 2020's count, including the 27k published in 2019. It's 75k, of which maybe 70k was written in 2019. I also have some unrevealed exchange fics that I'll redate to 2021 once they're revealed, bringing their wordcount out of 2020's bucket again. I also wrote 48k of Shen Wei transmigrating into a video game, but that's pure drawerfic at this point.
Caught Red-Handed (900w of T-rated Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian, The Untamed)
This wins its categories due to being a quick read in a megafandom for a juggernaut. It also has the second-most subscriptions, despite being a short one-shot.

For No Cradle Lasts Forever (75k of M-rated Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan, Guardian)
Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan deal with moving all the Dixingians up to Haixing (because Dixing is going away), combined with some B-plot relationship development and a throughthread about family in there in the background. Also an alien.
Favorite title
On one sort of meta level, But for Me It Was Tuesday (800w of M-rated Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian, Modao Zushi), because it's an exchange fic fortuesday and the title works really well with that and the summary:
On another sort of meta level, A Friend Indeed (3k of T-rated Plo Koon & Ahsoka Tano, The Clone Wars), since it's set after the Kadavo arc and the canon episode that happens after the Kadavo arc is called A Friend in Need and I think that's a nice parallel.
On a non-meta level, I think my favorite is Fell High from the Zenith (1k of T-rated Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian, Modao Zushi, Star Wars AU) because Wei Wuxian fell (and Fell, since Star Wars) and it sounds cool. (This is also for tuesday, whose exchange superpower is apparently making me come up with rad titles.)
Fic I'm most proud of
Every Door a Death (30k, E, Guardian), because casefic with a twist! I managed it! I am very proud of myself for succeeding at this endeavor.
First fic for X
Witness Now My Wrath (500w, T-rated Xiao Rufeng/Ye Xiaoqi, Sect Leader and Little Shimei) is the first fic for the fandom on AO3.
(In All My Battles) Fight as My Comrade (3k, T-rated f!Revan/Yuthura Ban, KOTOR) is the first fic for the ship on AO3.
Favorite lines
I wrote too much to have the brain to go through every single thing I've written. The one paragraph I'm most proud of atm is one of those unrevealed fics, too, so: no. Instead, if you link to a fic of mine, I'll tell you my favorite line from it.

tuesday and the title works really well with that and the summary: Wei Wuxian's body congeals out of the dust it had turned to, and then Lan Wangji comes to fuck the corpse. His life (or in this case, death) keeps getting weirder.
