Total Number of Fics for 2022: 86

Total Word Count for 2022: ~264,070


Well, that's a much lower total word count than last year's 421,910, but I'm okay with that. 2022 was sort of an experiment for me, writing-wise, and I've come to realise that giving myself time out from writing is a good thing; however, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing - I ended up getting frustrated at how long my longer fics took me to write and how many fic ideas I couldn't get around to writing because of that. The plan for 2023 is to find a happy medium - write more than in 2022, but don't beat myself up if I don't write as much as in 2021 :)

First off, I want to wish all my DW peops a very Happy New Year. May 2018 bring you only good things, my friends! :)

Well, I'm back in the real world now with work and all after a wonderfully long Christmas/New Year break. Doesn't time fly? How it is 2018 already, I'll never know. I did take a break from some of my fic writing in December, which has actually done me a world of good, because my head is now full of ideas! The small problem with that is that they're all new ideas, in different fandoms, and now I have to find the time to pick up my WIP Gilmore Girls fics AND write the new ideas too. Guys, I think I'm heading back to the Leverage fandom!

Leverage/Librarians is such an obvious crossover, and there's an idea in my head for a fic that I think could be cool. Plus, there's Lethal Weapon to consider. Also very crossoverable with Leverage AND I get to start watching Season 2 at the end of next week, so that's bound to bring on ideas too. I'm gonna be a very busy fic writer, that much I know, but hey, what's new, right?

I do fully intend to be here posting too. I want to be more social, even if it is online social rather than RL social, because I'm totally okay with that. I will try to keep updating here on DW about life stuff as well as what I'm writing, what I'm watching, what I'm reading, etc. (Anything non-personal will be public, and anything particularly personal will be locked to the Access List).

Now, time for work! :)

I don't know how it happened, but my latest TV show obsessions are actually current shows! This hasn't happened to me in such a long time. Generally, I pick up a show just as it ends or after its over and watch all the boxsets, but lately I've fallen for shows that are still airing! Here's the run-down...

Timeless - I know Season 1 is over in the US and just recently in the UK too, and there's no guarantee of renewal, but technically it is a current show and OMG it's SO GOOD! Loved the concept, loved the execution, love the actors, and the shallow part of me is salivating over Wyatt Logan every week! lol I really, really hope it gets a Season 2, not least because that last episode was such a cliffhanger!

Lethal Weapon - This one just finished in the US I think, and here in the UK we just had episode 5 of 18. I wasn't sure about it, because I'm not crazy about the movies but at the same time I like them enough that I wasn't sure they should be remade. Then came Clayne Crawford and his take on Martin Riggs. I love that guy. Can't help it, just do. Need to see more.

The Librarians - Unfortunately, I don't get the channel this airs on here in the UK so I have yet to see Season 3 which aired in the US in its entirety already; however, the DVDs will be available in a couple of weeks and I'm currently rewatching Season 2 to prepare me. I came for the Kane and stayed for everything else. Such an epic show!

Gilmore Girls - Yup, I'm counting this one. When I started watching this show, it was over. Seven seasons of boxset to enjoy, and enjoy I did, and then came the revival. Now this is technically a current show again, despite the fact I really did not enjoy A Year in the Life for the most part. It had so much potential and disappointed me so much, but man, I love me those 'classic' episodes from back in the day :)

Meanwhile, I have dropped two other current shows from my watching schedule - Once Upon A Time and The Big Bang Theory. I'm sorry but these two seem to have morphed into unrecognisable caracitures of their former awesome selves, and I'm afraid I'm done.
