#2023 year end summary

[not-krys]

It's that time again! Time to count up all the words and reflect upon the past year.

And, friends, let me just say I'm really super happy with this years numbers, probably the biggest numbers I've seen in a long time.

This year, I had a new years resolution to post at least 1 writing thing per month, no matter its finished state, thus putting out a lot of WIP Wednesdays this year.

But, along with doing all those WIP Wednesdays, I found I was finishing more writing things this year because of it and... it's kind of amazing to see the progress across this year.

For previous Writing Summaries: 2020 2021 2022

And, as always, my masterlist, to see all my fics in one place!

Now, without further ado, let's crunch some numbers!

A lot has happened this year for me, and I can confidently say I grew so much as a person since it began. But most importantly, I need to thank you all for your support this year. Let's look forward to 2024 together!

END OF THE YEAR FUCKERS- finally did my 2023 summary and the art vs artist thingy

welp that's a wrap for this year ig. it's funny i think this year would have been another oops all trigun except that whenever i got really super busy FAR too busy to make trigun art i did usually end up doodling something else lmao

december's spot is @stardvst-diving's lysithea :)

#art summary #2023 summary of art #2023 art summary #txt #honestly. i think this is the first year in a long time where i really don't feel that happy with the progress i've made with my art #like in 2020 i finally got comfortable with drawing digitally after SO MANY YEARS of chipping away at it #and 2021 i finally pinned down some stylistic choices i enjoy working with and figured out how to color #and 2022 i mostly just pushed the limits of what ''finishing'' art even looks like for me #since in the past i'd tend to leave everything pretty half baked #2023 was SUPPOSED to be the year i started into things like comics and composition and increasing dynamism #but i think mostly i just ended up hammering out more stuff in regards to color and line confidence #which are both good. i'm glad i made that progress #but it's a little disappointing i didn't finish the year with the specific takeaways i'd gone into it wanting to have #sighhhhhh maybe next year idk

My year in Spuffy fanfiction (2023)

Longest fic I’ve read:

Pictures of You by kats_meow [NC-17]

As the Slayer, Buffy Summers has helped a lot of people in her twenty years. But there's one person she's never gotten to help: Buffy Summers. When she leapt into the portal that Glory forced open, any chance to help any Buffy anywhere went with her. Or did it? Now the lead ambassador to the Powers that Be is playing "Let's Make a Deal" with her afterlife and the leaps have only just begun. Where will she leap to next - and will it be to heaven? Or will the next leap be her leap back home? (With apologies to one of my favorite shows next to Buffy and Angel, "Quantum Leap.")

Shortest fic I’ve read:

Speak by alittlemoretime [PG-13]

She never ceases to surprise him.

Most read authors:

Holly

honeygirl51885

violettathepiratequeen

Story I’ve read the most times:

Someday by Sunalso [NC-17]

AU. The world is broken, but Buffy is given seven days to make it better. Does saving humanity mean letting go of the one thing she wants, or grabbing on to it with both hands?

First fic I’ve read this year:

Falling by ashcrashed [NC-17]

Major world-ending apocalypse? Averted. What comes next, well…it's a work in progress.

Last fic I’ve read this year:

Flowers Among the Morning Dews by cawthraven [NC-17]

She lost everything. Now she has a chance to fix it all.

My favourite PG rated fic this year:

Vernalagnia by violettathepiratequeen [G]

Vernalagnia: A romantic mood brought on by spring. One that even Angel doesn't dare try to get in the middle of.

My favourite NSFW fic this year:

afterglow by MillennialCryBaby [NC-17]

Half of her is bathed in sunlight and all of him is in shadow. Smut with feelings.

Total number of words I’ve read this year:

7,505,325

Total number of stories I’ve read this year:

466

My Summary of Art 2023 🧡✨

I don't know how I managed to pull this off, considering I've been mostly gone for the whole month... But here we are! 😅

Nothing really changed much about my art this year, except for maybe becoming more comfortable in my art style? Also, the new bigger screen definitely allowed me to make more rendered illustrations without the fear of my phone crashing lol

Say hello to my ✨ 2023 art summary ✨!!

Artistically speaking, this year was very exciting! Filling every spot with both traditional and digital art on this year’s summary made me so proud, I’m so happy I finally got back into traditional art after many years of unfinished sketchbooks! Also discovering my love for background art and visual development made me improve a lot, I’m currently very happy about the direction my art is taking and I hope it will lead me to create more and more illustrations, especially backgrounds 💖✨

On a more personal level, I’ve been having some pretty rough times during the year, dealing with anxiety and the amount of school work I have to do for my diploma can be very stressful and overwhelming, but I still managed to do my part of the job, one step at the time 🫶

Wishing you all a very happy end of the year 🥳🎉🎊 and as always thank you all so much for your support and for loving my art, it means a lot to me 💕
