sapphirescribeIt's a few days later than I'd planned, but I just got back yesterday from an amazing week in London with amazing friends, seeing amazing things, and generally being overwhelmed by everything. I'm still exhausted from walking and feels and lack of sleep, but if I don't do my year in review post now, I'll never do it.
So... In terms of reading, last year I read an obscene 13 million words. I was honestly shocked when I tallied up everything from my various spreadsheets. I had no idea I read that much. Let's see what I did this year...
Teen Wolf: 7,716,138
Merlin: 3,118,264
Star Trek: 2,421,867
Inception: 1,854,744
Other: 1,081,387 (this includes Suits, Vikings, Supernatural, Avengers, and a few others)
Harry Potter: 521,974
For an insane total of 16,714,374, which blows last year's total well and truly out of the water. I don't even know what to say. That's about 45k a day, which is 10k more a day than last year. HOW DID THIS EVEN HAPPEN? Actually. I know how it happened. I haveasya_ana to blame for Inception, melooza to blame for Chris Pine and therefore Star Trek, and donnersun to blame for Supernatural. THANKS GUYS.
Thanks to participating in a couple of fests this year, I wrote almost 12k, which is 57% more than I wrote last year. It's still not much to write home about, but it's an improvement. More importantly, I discovered podficcing, which has been an incredible source of joy. I've had a great time podficcing and since I don't write much, it makes me feel like I'm still contributing to fandom in a meaningful way. (It's also gotten me closer to one of my favorite authors which gave me so much squeeeeee!) In 2013, I podficced 8 works for a total of almost 8 hours of audio.
Like last year, I got to meet some more incredible people. ComicCon and various fandom-related or fandom-adjacent trips brought me so many new friends. I can't even begin to list everyone, but I want to thank each and every one of you for being in my life and improving it with your mere existence. You are wonderful and I love you.
Now, on to 2014!
