2023 Let's Go

[deelaundry]

Not quite sure how 2022 ended up being my most fannishly productive year since 2009, but I will take it. Four vids, three new fics, two fics added to. Words for the year (as AO3 counts them): 22,313. Far short of my "career high" 216,449 words in twelve months, but did I mention MOST SINCE 2009. I also moderated three panels at ConFab, which was very fun.

Thank you to barnestozier for talking with me about many of my fics! That's engagement I haven't felt since the LJ days. Thanks as well to the fests and requests that inspired most of 2022's works.

Take it as read that all of these are fun, either fluff or humor or both.

- Miss Marple vid Me Myself and I for croissantkatie, Festivids 2021

Added two chapters to The Private Personal Blog of Dr. John H. Watson. Goal for 2023 is to get at least to the "end of canon" in this fic.

- Sherlock outsider POV fic Wings at the Speed of Sound, prompted by simplyclockwork

- "Rest of the story" update to Thirteen in 1982 prompted by barnestozier's questions (NOTE: angst with happy ending aftermath of two 13-year-olds having oral sex)

Three pieces for the wonderful people who bid on me for Fandom Trumps Hate 2022:
- WriteOut asked for a Sherlock vid and I made two: Two Steps Behind about Lestrade & Sherlock and Incredible Thoughts about the mind palace
- Sherlock fic with animals for ohlooktheresabee: Fostering,a fix-it for The Empty Hearse
- Sherlock/House crossover fic for Tad will be forthcoming in 2023

- Post-canon parentlock fic The Short But Illustrious Babysitting Career of Sherlock Holmes, as Recounted by the Man Himself for astudyin 221b for
Homestice Winter 2022

- You're on Fire for 7PercentSolution, who asked for another Sherlock vid :)


Gratitudes for my life today and joyful anticipation for 2023:

1. My new job (started Nov 2022) is still awesome! A variety of factors went into making my former job very frustrating, and it was a rush to get recruited into this new one.

2. Fannish productivity likely to continue into 2023, beginning with Festivids. \o/

3. Three week-long vacations planned for 2023. REALLY? Yes, really. \o/ \o/ \o/

4. Barring unforeseeable circumstances, RSL will be back on my screen for nine episodes of The Gilded Age! Playing "the new rector of a local church attended by the deep-pocketed set," which means vestments! Ooooh. His character arrives from Boston; I am permanently cringing at the thought of RSL trying a Boston accent. Just, no. (Then again cringing is half the life of an RSL fan, so...)


Things I would like to do in 2023:

- Mod panels at Con-Txt and premiere a vid (for Cinco)

- Take a trip to go to a con. Maybe 221BCon in Atlanta in April and/or ConFab in Chicago in October?*

- See a play with RSL in it.* RSL will have to take the step of being in a play within reasonable travel distance from my home. The Kennedy Center is a great venue. Saw John Oliver there and it was awesome.

- Follow hannah's advice and be the House fandom I want to see in the world, which means:
- Make more posts here and tag consistently.
- Make my LJ Favorites into a real rec list, with current links.
- Promote the above on Tumblr, on Discord, and at cons.

*These are all completely contingent on COVID, but this is a "would like to" list. Maybe I can't/won't, but I would like to.
