2025 in review

[museaway]

I can't believe it's time to post this list again. Like in the past, questions focus on what you created and how you felt this year. I promise there are no questions about popularity or reader response.

How to play on dreamwidth: Copy the question list to your own blog & fill it out! Or post the list & have commenters leave numbers for you to answer.

Including WIPs, how many fics have you worked on since January 1st? Original fiction counts too! How many did you post for other people to read? What's something NEW that you tried in a fic? What piece of media inspired you the most? How many fandoms did you write for? What ship(s) captured your heart? What character(s) captured your heart? Did you write for any new fandoms or ships? What fic meant the most to you to write? What fic made you feel the happiest to work on? What fic was the most satisfying to finish? What fic was the most challenging to work on? What's the most interesting topic you researched for a fic? What were your shortest and longest fics? What was on your writing playlist? Where did you write? Was there a favorite spot? What’s your favorite title of the year? Share your favorite opening line Share your favorite ending line Share your favorite piece of dialogue Share the funniest line(s) you wrote this year Did you get frustrated with a fic at some point? What happened and how did you get past it? If you had to choose one, what was THE most satisfying writing moment of your year? Did you do anything special to celebrate finishing something? Did you create fanworks other than fic? Show one off! How many fannish events did you take part in? Things like bangs, exchanges, ship weeks, zines, prompt memes, etc. They all count! Think back on everything you've worked on since January and give yourself a compliment. A real one! Be nice to yourself. If this were an awards show, who would you thank? What’s left on your to-do list for 2025? What would you like to write next year?

Questions are cross-posted to tumblr and to bluesky if you'd rather play there!

I didn't add any formatting in case people use markdown or rich text instead of the HTML editor. In response to the inevitable questions: I post this in early December because it can be motivating to acknowledge what you've already accomplished, and a LOT of people are still working on holiday exchange stuff this time of the year.
