I swear I am not this cool in real life. I love all of you, whatever your reasons are for sticking around. My ask is always open if you’d like to say hi. But thank you, all of you.
i can’t believe how much I have accomplished in one year. Really as far as I’m concerned I have two anniversary’s with AO3. May 5 is when I posted my first fic, July 31 is when I started in earnest (only two between today and then). Still this is the one year mark, so I just want to post numbers:
I mean HOLY CRAP. And that’s mostly since August, like I said. You guys are amazing. You’ve quite literally changed my life.
type40consultingdetective ran some numbers for me. With those low early months I’m averaging 14 fics a month, about 22k words and my average fic length is aroung 1500 words. And 182 works.
I’m overwhelmed by the support you guys give me. I know my writing is improving. I changed my college major because of you guys. If anyone wants to know if fic makes a difference, here you go.

Here it is, my first in hopefully a series of adventure stories about Captain Jack Harkness and River Song. Leave a comment, I hope people enjoy.
“A routine ship repair takes a hard left turn when River Song’s favorite mechanic is kidnapped. Her determination to find and free Alyssa puts River on a collision course with a piece of the Doctor’s past. He’s got a planet-sized ego, a give ‘em hell attitude, and he looks good in a tuxedo, but one thing’s for sure: he’s not getting his Sonic Blaster back”
See this guys? One year ago, this was the FIRST fic I posted on AO3, and i did it with a lot of encouragement from awabubbles and jazzforthecaptain. Jazz especially let me use her as a sounding board and read it for me. And held my hand (virtually) when I nervously posted it. Then she reblogged it with this gif, which made me absolutely happy.
So…encourage your fellow fic writers (and artists and crafters and everyone else). You never know what you might help make.
The fic i just posted is my 175th fic. What the hell am I doing with myself?
I have a fic that’s over 10,000 hits!!
Value of an Omega is currently sitting at 10023 hits. You guys are freakin awesome.
