the_rckThis is the last of the topics offered specifically to me for the December meme. I have a handful of others remaining that someone posted for anybody who wanted to write to them. I don't feel so motivated to complete those, so I may or may not. I'm putting off the rest of the Fandom Snowflake Challenge until later because Day 4 requires a little more thought and a little more courage (and really isn't something to post about here anyway. It's something to do rather than a topic to write about).
Moment this year when you were the most proud of yourself. (formergatrude)
I'm not really sure how to answer this one. I feel like the things I achieved this year were small triumphs. Life was mostly everyday stuff that leaves me reasonably content. Thinking about it, though, there are a couple of things--
First, "Not All My Grief" passed Rheotaxis for number of kudos on AO3. I'm very pleased with what I managed with that story (even if the recipient never did comment). It did exactly what I meant for it to do.
Second, I managed to figure out how to post fics on fanfiction.net. I got all of my fic that are appropriate for the site up there. None of them get a lot of hits (I write a lot of obscure fandoms), but people are reading them, people who wouldn't go to AO3 or my website. I'd been afraid of posting on fanfiction.net for a long time, partly because of its reputation and restrictions and partly because anything new scares me. Now I just have to get myself past the next anxiety barrier there and comment on somebody else's story. There are some stories there that I really do love, and I've never been able to let the authors know before.
