2020 - A Year in Review

vtsuionHappy New Year, everyone!!
And what a year it has been... The obvious aside, this marks the end of my second full year of posting once a week (and every day for the month of December), for a total of 221k words. It also marks something of a milestone, as I have now reached 100 fics on AO3!
Just like last year, I’m going to count down some highlights from the past year!
Generations: The year started off strong with my fix-it of the infamous Star Trek: Generations movie. Kirk survives and he and Spock get a second chance in the 24th century.
Once Upon a Dream: What can I say - I just love the idea of my favorite couples dancing, and I had great fun writing this little scene with Holmes and Watson.
A Fond Farewell: I discovered a new fandom in Jeeves and Wooster (about a silly, rich young man and his hypercompetent manservant). This is, in my opinion, the best of several short fluffy fics I wrote about them (though Oh By Jeeves! deserves an honorable mention just for being so much fun).
To the Stars and Back Again: This is a story I’ve wanted to write for a few years, and I was finally able to finish it as part of this year’s T'hy'la Bang, with lovely illustrations by shepromisestheearth. It’s the 1960′s; Kirk is an astronaut, Spock is a NASA astrophysicist, and things are never as simple as they appear.
Jeeves Meets the Phantom of the Opera: The highlight of my adventures with Jeeves and Wooster is a still ongoing series about Wooster slowly learning about Jeeves’s mysterious past. And the highlight of that series thus far is Jeeves and Wooster being kidnapped by the Phantom of the Opera and recovering from their ordeal.
Fairy Lights: For the second year in a row, I participated in the winter![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
holmestice gift exchange, and I really like how my story turned out. A bit of magical winter romance, and a Holmesian fairy tale.
And, of course, I can never just leave well enough alone. 2021 will begin with the latest installment in The Mysterious Mr. Jeeves: Bertie Solves a Mystery (for which I’ve already posted a little teaser), intercut with shorter fics every other week - including one for this year’s Star Trek The In Between Event. I’ll also be resuming my weekly “considerations” on Wednesdays.
A few things to look forward to later in the year: I have a couple other Jeeves and Wooster fics waiting in the wings. I’ve recently rewatched Season 4 of Yugioh, so keep an eye out for the third and final piece of the Millennium Death Note saga. This year’s Sherlock Holmes calendar challenge has gotten me thinking about writing a more relationship focused fic or two for Holmes and Watson. As my recent reblogs have perhaps indicated, I’ve had superheroes on the brain, especially Superman and Batman, so something may come of that. And I’ve actually been thinking about original fiction again, so I may post a few original stories along with the fanfic.
I wish you all the best in the new year!
