This is a slightly modified version of the AO3 Wrapped I was so kindly tagged in by Tavina over on Tumblr, which I am crossposting here for posterity as well.

Works Published: 64 - 52 fics + 12 arts!
Total Words: 76,931

Explicit (27)
General Audiences (18)
Teen And Up Audiences (11)
Mature (8)

That's actually more than I thought! Events — and Battleship in particular — were very motivating this year.

Top Five Kudosed Fics:

little blessings (Modao Zushi)
It Does a Body Good (The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System)
supernatural pest control and other important ventures (MDZS)
Jiang Cheng is So Very Fucked (MDZS)
Inexplicable (SVSSS)

No real surprise there — mostly from the first half of the year, four E's and an M from the two biggest fandoms I write for. <3

Top Five by Wordcount:

Wei Wuxian's Dick Riding Birthday Bash (The Untamed) - 14,700 words
little blessings (MDZS) - 3,883 words
Pump! You! Up! (Original Work) - 3,338 words
The Better to See You With (The Untamed / MDZS) - 3,284 words
jump in the deep end (Original Work) - 3,030 words

This is an EXTREMELY funny drop-off, to me, but that's what happens when Wei Wuxian's got ten people to fuck, I guess.

Top Fandoms:

魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù (21)
陈情令 | The Untamed (TV) (20)
人渣反派自救系统 - 墨香铜臭 | The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù (5)

Wei Wuxian & Wen Ning (2)
Lan Xichen/Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian (2)
Dongfang Qingcang/Xiao Lanhua (2)

Followed by a buuuuuuunch of ships I made (1) thing for. This made me curious, so I've spreadsheeted them, and apparently I used 76 unique ship tags in 2024. completely on brand tbh.

Top Additional Tags:

Art (12)
Post-Canon (10)
Alternate Universe - Modern Setting (9)
Polyamory (7)
Kissing (6)

aka here's all the random stuff I made real fast last month :D

four fics:

Dual Power Coupling — Star Wars, 1.7k, T — Han & Leia doing their very best to finally seduce Lando
Poor, Unfortunate Soul — CW: noncon, underage, graphic violence, incest — The Little Mermaid, 930 words, E —Ariel's sisters giving her a truly terrible lesson in what humans are like
Jiang Cheng is So Very Fucked — CW: underage, incest — MDZS, 1.6k, E — Jiang Cheng helps Jin Ling out with his rut, and things very much do not go to plan, alpha/alpha accidental knotting
Bonding Over Science — MDZS, 484 words, G — teacher Wen Ning & science presenter Wei Ying, modern au friendship confessions

and four art pieces:

[Art] Tiny Lights in the Dark — OW, G — a dwarf finding some glow shrooms in a dark cavern

[Art] A Late Night Visitation — Dwarf Fortress, G — a dwarf sleeping in the woods + a hovering ghost
[Art] Creature Comforts — MDZS, G — 3zun as critters, companion illustrations to a very cute fic

This was my first year participating in Battleship, and I gotta say, I had a blast. I wasn't sure what to expect output-wise — I'm certainly not the fastest or most verbose writer — but the team atmosphere was great and very motivational to GO FAST MAKE THINGS. I received so many lovely gifts and comments as well once gifts were revealed. ^_^ Overall I'll definitely be putting this on my fannish calendar again.

Good afternoon happy pride! This year, to celebrate Pride Month, I offered a little tweet-sized queer headcanon each day of characters from various media on twitter and tumblr. Some of them are so close as to be almost canon, others are more fanciful, but all of them make me smile to think upon. Feel free to take them for your own, use them as story or art prompts, whatever you like. Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

Aggressively bisexual couple Jiang Cheng & Wen Qing whose hobby is doing elaborate couple's cosplays together in the most genderfuck configurations possible!
Gu Xiang who always knew she liked girls because DUH JUST LOOK AT THEM getting absolutely WHALLOPED by a bisexual awakening while Cao Weining stumbles over himself to watch her try every dish the inn serves.
Han Solo and Lando Calrissian had a longstanding comet relationship. Leia loved it, because she could send Han to visit him whenever he started getting too antsy playing politics. (She also maintained a bail fund, because she knew them both too well.)
Trans man Alec Hardison + Parker whose gender is "Parker" or "whatever I find in someone else's pockets" + Eliot Spencer who's mostly their boyfriend but also "babygirl" and always has the prettiest hair.
Liu Qingge whose sexuality is "hard pass" and also "sword." (He also loves Shang Qingqiu, but every detail he has unwittingly learned about the bingqiu and moshang marriages makes him Concerned About The Allos.)
Peter Parker and Johnny Storm have kissed on the mouth many times. (And fucked. They've definitely also fucked.)
Jiang Yanli's award-winning sex toy review blog that xie runs with xir husband Luo Qingyang and their girlfriend Jin Zixuan.
Ace nonbinary Natasha Romanov and her QPP Clint Barton and his wife Laura all (mostly) retiring happily on their farm. Nat takes up weaving and makes gorgeous fabrics and terrible spider jokes.
Kamala Khan whose bisexual awakening is gonna happen when she sits bolt upright in bed one night and goes, "Wait, that was a CRUSH. I had a CRUSH on Captain Marvel!!!"
Wen Mao who, in addition to establishing Clan-based cultivation in the MDZS universe, was a gay trans man. (Little-known fact: Quintessence of the Wens contains the earliest recorded "All Cops Are Bastards.")
Yuuri Katsuki and Phichit Chulanont who never really put a label on it but were definitely "sit in his lap, steal his clothes, fool around sometimes when we're bored" close while roomies in Detroit.
"Straight boy" Wei Ying who took a while to figure out she was neither and butch lesbian Lan Zhan whose whole world suddenly made perfect sense once she did.
Peggy Carter carefully doing Bucky Barnes' makeup, painting those pouty lips with her signature red, before she and Steve thoroughly mess it up. (Bucky's never felt so beautiful.)

Trans man Izzy Hands who would like it if everyone on his ship would just do. their fucking. jobs. (These two things aren't related; he's just a trans dude and also fed up.)
Asexual Tara Cole who would like to remind you that you don't need to feel sexual attraction to inspire it. 😉
Merlin and Arthur were in love and ushered in a golden age of magical acceptance and lived to snipe at each other every single day for the rest of their very long lives. (Yes I'm still mad at the BBC.)
Trans girl Lan Jingyi whose egg finally cracked the day Jin Ling got fed up and asked, "Are you sure I'm the young mistress here?"
There's a reason no one knows the name Sophie Devereaux was born with. She left it behind with all the other trappings of a boyhood that never fit — the first thing Sophie stole was herself.
Asexual Zhou Zishu discovering for the first time that sex can actually be kinda fun? (Won't stop him from calling Wen Kexing an insatiable pervert, of course... not when his wife likes it so much.)
Aromantic Wei Wuxian who genuinely does not feel a meaningful difference between friend love and romantic love, who therefore gets to shape a precious and unique intimacy with each of his dearest people.
Trans man Luke Skywalker's glorious evolution from ass-kicking chaos twink to wise, whiskered chaos elder. 😌
Jonathan and Martha Kent's years of conversations with Clark about how "different" didn't mean "better" or "worse" gaining an unexpected resonance the first time he shyly brought a boy home for dinner.
Modern Nie Mingjue going to an aroace meetup for the first time assuming he won't know anyone and being pleasantly surprised to be welcomed by Lan Qiren.
The Beast, resigned to the curse, the fur and the horns and the claws (this body, after all, fit no worse than the old) ... and the Beauty, who when the curse breaks in a way that surprises them both, says only, "It was your heart I fell for, dearest one — loving a princess instead of a prince will be no hard fate."
The joyfully chaotic, absolutely 100% not Starfleet-approved polycule the crew of the Enterprise had going on
The real love story in the Mission Impossible franchise is between Ethan and Benji. (They can double date with Bond and Q.)
Wen Yuan announcing at five years old that he and Lan Jingyi will get married... and years later their lovers and datemates and all their whole family, by blood and by choice, are there to witness as they do.
Shang Qinghua's double take when he first notices Shen Qingqiu's fan sporting a tassel in a very distinctive rainbow pattern and Shen Qingqiu's proud little smile when Shang Qinghua quietly flicks it and tells him, "Good for you, bro."
The quiet, steadfast, world-changing romance between Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee
Asexual Nie Huaisang who writes the absolute hottest porn because sexual attraction is just such a weird and fascinating thing to inflict on his blorbos. (Plus the screaming comments fill him with glee.)

You ever read a fic that has just the most perfect freeform tag?

If someone were to make a tagset, with open nominations for amusingly niche freeform tags folks might have used or appreciated on our ol' archive...

... and then one were to further make a Prompt Meme, where each prompt was one of those most excellent tags...

... then THEORETICALLY, we could together create a fun lowkey collection of fics written specifically for the sake of using brilliantly weird tags!

This is probably committing crimes against the tag system and AO3 Challenge functions both, but I think it could be fun. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Got bored the other day and made a meme with some of the questions I hadn't seen on other such lists. :)

questions for "writer meme: weirdo edition" in white text on a purple background; text below
