marcicat | 2024 writing year in review

Is it time to do the year in review posts yet? AO3 says I've posted 59,892 words this year over seven stories, hooray! Since there are only seven, I figured I do this in yearbook superlatives style!

*SHORTEST FIC: Travel like a slingshot
“We’ve definitely been in worse situations than this.”

*LONGEST FIC: Waiting for a sign,
“You always hope it’s a quasar,” Mariner reminded him. “And it never is. We’ve run into more Romulans than we have quasars.”

*MOST KUDOS'D FIC: All the time I thought of you
“Ooh, soulmate goose, who’s the lucky recipient?”

*FIRST FIC I'VE WRITTEN IN THE FANDOM: Whoever finds it first
"Isn’t there something in our contract about not having to do a nebula tour for my nemesis?”

*MAXIMUM FIX, MINIMUM EXPLANATION: Mixtape of humanity
“Is it true you’re from Indiana?”

*MY FAVORITE TITLE: A kind of spirit music
“Mariner, the last time you said that, alien raccoons ate our shuttle.”

*THE ONE WITH A BABY: All their hopes depending
“Did you steal this baby? Is this your baby? Am I an aunt now? I would be a totally kickass aunt.”
