Round up of the last 12 months (albeit a bit late!)

[yassandra4]

I've been incredibly lax about posting on here lately although, since I suspect no-one but me reads it, it probably doesn't matter all that much. I thought I would get a little caught up though, and to start I thought I would do a bit of a round up of the last twelve months.

So how has it all gone (creatively)? Pretty good actually. I've written a lot! I'm just about to start writing Chapter 19 of 'Child of Fortune', published a story for the Small Fandoms Big Bang of 2016 (with lovely art by gryphon2k) and have two stories written and awaiting art for the Small Fandoms Big Bang of 2017, have branched out a little (in an amateurish way) into art and wallpapers and managed two bingo's on hc_bingo - one of which was a diamond (8 fills) which is one of the more unusual fills.

So what do I have to show for it all? Well apart from the nice little growing collection of stories on fanfiction.net and AO3, I also have a lovely little collection of achievements and banners :-)

Small Fandom Big Bang 2016

The first real achievement of the year (aside from a couple of mini-challenge banners for hc_bingo) was the Small Fandoms Big Bang. For this I wrote a five chapter story called 'Everything Else In Between', which, as I said earlier, had gorgeous artwork by gryphon2k. If you haven't seen the art, check it out :-)

Anyway, for that I received a nice banner:




Hurt Comfort Bingo (Round 7)

I'm going to include the Round 6 mini-challenge banners here because they're part of what I got an extra achievement with when the Round 7 achievements were published.

I managed two bingos this year: a diamond bingo made up of all fics, which I am reliably told is one of the more unusual types of bingo (because it is 8 fills rather than the usual 5) and am therefore quite proud of; and a line bingo, which I am also proud of as I didn't just write fiction for it - each fill was in a different media type.

Bingos:






General Achievements:



The Steadfast Acheivement is given for filling a bingo all in the same fandom - which was once again Atlantis.



The Serial Pleasures Achievement, given for posting all the fills of a bingo in TV series fandoms (again is anyone surprised that all mine were for Atlantis?)



The Multimedia Achievement is given for getting a bingo where each fill is in a different type of media. I got this for my line bingo with a fic, a rec list, a picspam, an icon set and a piece of art (a wallpaper). Since I've never attempted to do anything other than fics before, I'm really happy about this one!



The Forget-Me-Not Achievement for posting at least once during the amnesty period in 2016. In my case I used my Small Fandoms Big Bang fic to also fill one of the prompts from my Round 6 card.



The Passion Achievement which is given for completing at least one of the amnesty mini-challenges, which leads me on to:



The February-to-May Achievement which is given for completing all the mini-challenges in the February to May period between rounds.

Round 6 Mini-Challenge Achievements

I'm including these here because they gave me the February-to-May and Passion Achievements in Round 7.










Summary

All in all not a bad year :-)

The banners and achievements are a nice way of getting recognition and keeping track of what I've managed to do - although I think I will try to keep a word count this year just to see how many I'm actually writing.

Last year went well - let's see what this year brings ;-)
