June Something Day 1

June Something Day 1: What's changed about your fandom life in the last 365 days?

i've gotten back into exchanges? not that i had totally abstained from them before, but i only did 3 (plus two treats for multifandomdrabble) in 2019, and then 1 in early 2020 -- which was for an exchange that i ran. but in august 2020 i signed up for crossworks and afterwards i started getting in the groove of exchanges again.

...in fact, in the last 365 days i've posted 21 fics for exchanges, which is about 30% of my total works on ao3, which i've been posting on since 2012. i didn't realize how much i'd written in the past year compared to other years. (i also wrote 2 non-exchange fics in the past year. as per usual i rarely finish & post fic without some sort of exchange, challenge, or fest.)

i've also embarked on co-running a big bang for my recursive fandom! so that's definitely new for me, i've never run a big bang before.

hmm... what else is new in the last year? well, i finished my first 10k+ fic, so that's my new highest-wordcount fic (it was for highadrenalineexchange, which was a lot of fun.) posted my first explicit fic (i think i've written some before but never posted it.)

oh, and new fandoms: i got into The Magnus Archives, which i fixated on big last summer and have written several fics for since. i also quite enjoyed the Among Us trend and wrote a few fics for that too.

and i think that's about it!

happy pride month :D
