2020 in fic

incredibly on brand of me to do this in june 2021


STATS:

fics: 3 (+2 drabbles)
fandoms: got7, miss a, itzy, stray kids, twice, seventeen


OVERALL:

Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you'd predicted?
after all the fics i wrote in 2019 the number of fics i wrote in 2020 was hilarious ndfshjds

What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January?
none in particular itzy was new to me but i always knew i would end up writing something with them

Did you take any writing risks this year?
idk if you can call it a risk but i kind of adopted a new writing style (though i don't think it's that obvious) and it was pretty fun

Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the New Year?

What were last year's goals?

BEST AND WORST:

My best story of the year:
isn't it pretty to think so? i wrote this kind of on a whim because i felt like i hadn't written anything decent in so long... not that i consider this decent but sometimes i reread this and feel good T___T

My most popular story of this year:
i didn't write anything meant for the mainstream market at all lmao but isn't it pretty to think so did surprisingly well

Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion:
i have a soft spot for clover tbh it's not my best story but there's just something about it

Most fun story to write:
maybe isn't it pretty to think so

Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters:
idk if it counts but i wrote clover because at that point i was really interested in lia and my headcanon of her in that au

Hardest story to write:
when i wade my hands (i can feel you) - this was a dead wip that i resurrected because i couldn't come up with anything for this exchange and there's a reason why it was a dead wip!!!!!!!

Biggest disappointment:
not really a big disappointment but i wish i fleshed out the clover universe better TT

Biggest surprise:
i think isn't it pretty to think so - i never planned to write another seungjin fic (also no one asked but this fic was originally a rinharu fic ajksdgsagdahjsf)

Most unintentionally telling story:
once in a long, long time - i wrote this after i finished rereading goodbye tsugumi and was overwhelmed by feels, and at that moment i really wanted to read/write a warm ny/sc fic u____u


HIGHLIGHTS + WRAP-UP:

Favorite opening lines:

when i wade my hands (i can feel you)
Jinyoung has this dream sometimes.

The sea is pitch black and he’s drowning. Cold water piercing his skin all the way to the bones. The water is so incredible quiet it deafens him, filling his lungs until they burn. His eyes sting, but he keeps his eyes open because it’s always to see nothing than to not see anything. He tries to fight his way to the surface, but every movement just sinks him deeper into the stomach of the ocean, and he’s so, so afraid.

Favorite closing lines:

when i wade my hands (i can feel you)
The sea is warm

Favorite lines in general:

clover
Sometimes Jisu thinks like this: the community where they live is like a tiny fish bowl, and the four of them are the only fish sharing the same space and therefore forced to coexist, one way or another.

similitude
People always tell them they have identical eyes. When they were eight, the boy she liked told her that he liked girls with double eyelids, and when she came home she told Hyunjin she wished she didn’t have his eyes.
(...)
She laughs at him, eyes crinkling up into crescent moons. The day after she told Hyunjin she hated her eyes, he took the boy’s expensive mechanical pencil and threw it out, then he got punished by their homeroom teacher. Yeji told him he was an idiot and cried. He cried with her.


LIST OF COMPLETED STORIES:
when i wade my hands (i can feel you) (jinyoung/suzy)
clover (lia & yeji & hyunjin & seungmin)
isn't it pretty to think so? (seungmin/hyunjin)
similitude (hyunjin & yeji)
once in a long, long time (nayeon/seungcheol)


WIP TEASERS

1.

After Choi Youngjae finished reading out his haiku which he wrote in English about carbonara pasta, it’s finally Seungcheol’s turn.


2.

As soon as he returns to his bedroom, Renjun opens the windows to let the stale air out. Light streams in through the thin curtains, onto his messy bed and his desk where the homework that he was trying to finish last night is still spread out. Jaemin studies the room in the meantime.

“Hmm,” he starts humming. “I see.



IN CONCLUSION: hnnnnnnnnggghh
