(But not January. I’m not too worried, this all got delayed by Nano and Christmas and all so it’ll get done when I can. Or maybe I’ll just skip January and go to February.)

----->What I've been reading:
Something In The Water https://archiveofourown.org/works/35051686/chapters/87307078#workskin Very good WIP, all my favorite tropes for recovery fic. I love this Steve, modern and disabled but still huge. We need to name this Steve I think, like shrinkyclinks and cap have names.
An Appropriate Omega https://archiveofourown.org/works/40556754/chapters/101607897 Wonderful historical arranged marriage slowburn. Classic combination. Steve's a bit of a douche in the first few chapters, but he becomes a very cute lover boy.
Forest of Apple Trees https://archiveofourown.org/works/42435342/chapters/106571244 Another banger from 16woodsequ. Fascinating historical a/b/o with heavy emotional angst and a blackmail/exploitation plot.
Heirloom https://archiveofourown.org/series/1019250 I haven't read SpiderDad since like 2018 so this was a fun jaunt down memory lane. Paving the road This road was always meant for two
Hide Your Heart of War https://archiveofourown.org/works/8091886/chapters/18542611 Classic poly avengers. Don’t know much about Tony Stark as a character but it was cool.
You Can Blow What's Left of My Right Mind https://archiveofourown.org/works/8021242/chapters/18364069 I love pre-war A/B/O Stucky!!
Through The Notches In Your Spine https://archiveofourown.org/works/1517813 Intensely fun emotional porn!!
In from the cold https://archiveofourown.org/works/29616558 This is one of my favorite memory loss fics I’ve read. Which says a lot as a Stucky fan. I was thinking of this one for dayyyysss.
Iteration https://archiveofourown.org/works/2506166 Classic 2014 postTWS angst, with sleep deprivation leanings.
Hardwired https://archiveofourown.org/works/2475845 More pf the classics, but with a more happy ending.
Poltergeists https://archiveofourown.org/works/2319629 This fic made me insane, and I mean that in the most positive way, i love this author and how WS Bucky is written and finds his humanity.


----->What I've been writing:
Honestly I’ve been writing a lot and I need to finish writing this post so I’ll save all this for my next post.

-----> What I've been recording:
Nothing! Like at all. I'm trying to edit ;(

-----> What I'm listening to:
The Long Road Begins At Home https://archiveofourown.org/works/7797328/chapters/17788405 QuietNight podfics are my drug of choice.
If Books Could Kill (podcast) Very fun, makes fun of bad books. Sometimes epistemologically terrifying.
CJ the X Bo Burnham vs. Jeff Bezos https://youtu.be/UvYcunuF3Eo This video essay rewired my brain. It explained Transhumanism in a way that converted me. Cyborgs are my god now.



Didn’t do anything for December, so have my ao3 wrapped. Got the data from this very kind redditor who helped me through setting it up, does need your password though so security disclaimer.

You've read 2,121 fanfics this year, totaling 51,061,864 words, or 139,895.52 words/day. There's about 70000 words in a novel. You could've read 729.46 novels this year, but you read fanfic instead.

This number is artificially high because anything you click on goes in your history, and it counts how many words are in your history. I’d say half this is probably more accurate to what I read, and maybe a third for stuff I read and didn’t just skim to get to the good part, which I don’t do do a lot, except for humongous fics that have pacing too slow for me.

The fic you've visited the most was Stray Hearts Are Subject To Change by Queen_Whovian, with 292 visits. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/21366088/chapters/50893813

What I'm writing:

All my work are heavily in the WIP phase but I am thinking about what to do for NaNoWriMo.

This month I've worked on my 3 shot Trans Sam-centric fic where I whump Sam so hard he gets wings,,,, and some other bird traits. Oviposition. That's what I'm hinting at. Very self indulgent and unexpectedly personal.

A Merthur fic that is currently meandering away from any plot and tropes I try to put in it. So far it's just several heartfelt conversations.

And then there's my baby, my love and joy, a fic with Trans!Bucky and trans!Steve falling in love on a roadtrip where they get introduced to the 21st century together.

[v] What I'm recording:

My first two podfics ever! I've been working on them on and off since March, but now that I've signed up for the Podfic Bingo 2022, I'm really trying to get them done this month.

My current shenanigans involve figuring out my ideal reading pace, how to enunciate clearer, and how to fade music in and out in a professional sounding way.

Lots of long fics this month! I'm a sucker for Honeypot AUs now as always, and the tension is killing me sweetly.

[v] What I'm listening to:

For podcasts I have, as per usual, You're Wrong About and Distractible, but also Teachers Off Duty, and Still His Kingdom Keeps. I've got some podfics from quietnight, reena_jenkins, IndigoNight, and OddityBoddity in this months rotation, and my podfic recommendations are as follows:
