Last year was...well, let's just say it was A Year and leave it at that. Outside of the 3 sentence ficathon, I only posted five fics to AO3. Yes, I know that I don't have to buy my seat in fandom by writing, but here's the thing: I like writing. I love writing. I feel like I've accomplished something when I post to AO3, when I finish a story I've been working on and I know other people are going to get to read it. And while it's understandable I didn't write as much as I usually do last year, I think not writing as much contributed to the general stress and "blah" feeling that I had for most of the year.

So. In an effort to give myself a little kick in the pants, I signed up for

trope_bingo Round 18!

I am not aiming for a blackout this time; my goal is to keep this as low-stress for me as possible. I just want to write more, and it seems like I do better with that when I have external deadlines asking me to. XD

So, without further ado: my bingo board!

Yeah some of these are going to be...interesting. We'll see where it ends up!

With the last two fics I posted yesterday and today, I officially hit a blackout on my Trope Bingo card!

The fandom breakdown ended up like so:

Tiger & Bunny - 6
Castlevania (Netflix) - 5
Gargoyles - 4
Teen Wolf - 3
Good Omens - 2
Voltron: Legendary Defender - 1
Leverage - 1
Star Wars - 1
Mary Stayed Out All Night - 1
Captain Harlock - 1

Twenty-five fics in ten different fandoms! I can honestly say I did not expect Castlevania and Gargoyles to have the #2 and #3 positions under Tiger & Bunny, but hey, it's been a weird year.

But WOO! I DID IT!! *flings confetti and falls over*

You can find all 25 Trope Bingo fics listed under the cut!

Woo, it's time once again for me to do some fics for all my pairings for Valentine's Day! This one will also fill the square for "Huddling for Warmth" on my Trope Bingo card.

Expect daily fic posts for the next two weeks for a variety of pairings, including two new ones that weren't on the list the last time I did this!

Found this community last year, got really excited, and then promptly had NO time to sign up and participate, given everything else that was going on. Found it again this year and WOO I'm in a place where I can attempt it! (Also, so grateful for an amnesty round. SO grateful.)

Anyway, here's my card for this round!
