2022 Fic Writing Wrap up

In 2022, I wrote almost exactly 100K words of fic, and also posted a lot of words that I wrote in 2021. This is very unusual for me– I have never had a writing year like this before! I credit a huge amount of this to making friends with a bunch of other wonderful, creative, productive writers; so much of my writing was done because I wanted to keep up with them, or have fun doing the same thing they were doing. Having regular weekly and also random impromptu writing groups on discord has been such a game changer in the past year and a half. Writing has been the opposite of a solo hobby; it has become the center of my social circle and the hub that the majority of my friend groups orbit around. I am so happy with everything I wrote, and excited to see what the future brings!

This year I posted 6 complete stories ranging from 950 words to 44K words, and also updated my very big, ongoing co-written WIP. Pretty much all of them were a first for me in one way or another, so I wanted to write a little bit about each of them.
