Meme and writing goals from [personal profile] dreamersdare!

Total fic in 2025: 23
Total wordcount in 2025: 48,032
Total fandoms: 14

Leitmotif of the year
It's all either very horny or fluffy as hell, so escapism!!

Most popular story
promise I'll be gentle (Hades game, Zag/Than), which I wrote for Candy Hearts.

My best story this year
fingertips puttin' on a show (Band of Brothers, Liebgott/Webster) because I still think it's good :)

Hardest story to write
What She Said Crawled Inside Me (Doctor Odyssey, Max/Tristan/Avery). For me, it's always hard to write a new fandom for the first time but I also really wanted this fic to be compliant with canon events so it was tough to come up with the exact plot for this one.

Easiest story to write
promise I'll be gentle (Hades game, Zag/Than): I remember this one just flowing out of me.

Story most underappreciated by the universe in my opinion
Two Handlers Required (MCU, Sam/Bucky/Zemo) - Bucky gets spitroasted! I really thought it would make more of a splash.

2026 Writing Goals Rules!


1. The writing goal for any given year is to do 'just one more' than in the previous year. This applies to words, fics and fandoms. So, if in the previous year I wrote 10,000 words across 3 fics in 3 fandoms, then the goal for this year would be 10,001 words across 4 fics in 4 fandoms.

2. Co-written fics don't count toward the totals.

3. If the goals are surpassed during the year, a new goal is calculated like this:
- Words: Increae the goal by adding on the original wordcount target for the year again.
- Fics: Increase the goal by 2 fics for each remaining month in the year
- Fandoms: Increase the goal by 1.

4. Goals stop revising after Halloween (spooky!); surpassing them after that just makes me an overachiever.

5. Only posted works count. WIPs are a blight on my harddrive :P

2026 Goal: 48,033 words across 24 fics in 15 fandoms.

The NHL dropped it's dress code for this year. I was sad to be getting into hockey after the mandatory suits thing stopped, everyone was sure they'd go back to dressing terribly. Instead we get stuff like this:



Now there's weekly fashion round ups and players getting reps for amazing fits, and McCann (above) for his hat collection.
