Happy New Year & Fic Stats 2008

[fredbassett]

Happy New Year to my wonderful flist!  Thanks for your all your friendship and support guys!  2008 was a difficult year on all fronts, healthwise, personally and at work, so in those respects, I'm not sorry to see the back of it.  But on a more positive note, I've had more fun in fandom and on LJ than ever before, in large part due to the wonderful primeval_denial . Thanks for making it such a fantastic comm, guys! I've also met several of my flist friends outside of LJ now, and had a great time with everyone.

And because everyone on my flist list seem to have been totting up their fic production, I've done the same!!  The links are all on my masterlist post, but the bald stats are that in 2008 I have produced 162,332 words of Primeval fic, of which 8,400 were drabbles, The series Falls the Shadow weighed in at 32,327, and Silk and Steel, now being co-authored with my darling Evil Twin, munchkinofdoom, has reached 27 published parts and a word count of 50,031. So it's pretty obvious from this that Primeval has continued to eat my brain.

This was a huge increase on 2007, when my Primeval output was 113,948.

And I very much hope to keep it up in 2009, having signed up for the Primeval Big Bang !! Thanks for reading, commenting, and being there for me, guys!!

Hopefully this will be a much better year for you than 2008 was, on the personal and professional front. I know the loss of your aunt, the redundancy mayhem and your health has made it a hard year. *hugs*

I'm glad we've been able to be there for you on the fannish front, though, and I have fond hopes that the madness will worsen in this new year. *veg*

*smooches evil twin*

*smooches back*

Thanks for everything, Twin, I'm sure I wouldn't have survived 2008 without you, and I'm soooo glad we've started writing together!

*hugs* I hope 2009 is better for you! I haven't known you for a long time but my thoughts are with you. :)

And wow, that's a huge number of drabbles! *G*

[fredbassett]

Thanks, hon!

Yep, there were a lot of drabbles, but I'm chuffed that my main fic output managed to exceed 2007 by a comfortable margin as well.

I also aim to try and write for every weeks challenge in 2009 in Primeval100. I didn't miss many last year, and I caught up most of those in the Past Challenge weeks, but I still have a few to catch up when there's next an open week.

It's been great getting to know you :)

*Hugs*. Let's hope all the crap and chaos is left in 2008 and that 2009 is miles better.

Meeting you and getting involved in Primeval and Denial has been the highspot of the year!

[fredbassett]

Thanks, sweetie. It's been great getting to know you as well!

Blimey, I thought I'd written a lot, and it turns out nearly everyone else has written more than me! I wonder what the total combined output of the Primeval fandom has been over the last twelve months? *hides from the probable mind-boggling number*

And here's hoping that 2009 goes better for you that 2008! *hugs*

[fredbassett]

Thanks, hon!

Actually, I think I'll put a post in Denial asking people for their word counts, then we can have some idea how much we've produced!

[bigtitch.livejournal.com]

I started to count up the posts on Denial this morning so I could post a 'look what we've done' post. But I gave up half-way through April because it was just *insane*.

[fredbassett]

Yep, I think we'd be hear all day between us if we tried to list it all, but if I run out of things to do later, I might have a go at it!

[bigtitch.livejournal.com]

Good luck. You will be some time!
It's easier to count the days we don't have any posts to denial.

[joereaves.livejournal.com]

I hope next year is better for you.

[fredbassett]

Thanks, hon. *hugs*

[bigtitch.livejournal.com]

Here's to a better 2009!
You've made my 2008 so much better than it would otherwise have been!
*glomps*

*glomps back*

Thanks, sweetie! It's been wonderful getting to know you :)

Plz not to be forgetting Green Jacket, Red Cap and White Owl's Feather.

[fredbassett]

Actually, these guys have been on my mind a lot recently, so I am definitely subject to pressure from the Otherworld now. God, retirement can't come too soon!! This time next year at the latest!!!

[master-kogane.livejournal.com]

I hope things will look up for you and that we'll have more time to talk ♥

[fredbassett]

Thanks, hon! We need a nice long catch-up. *hugs*

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Let's hope for a better year for you this year.

Your fic output is pretty awesome, and it's been great reading them. Primeval really seems to be bunny-breeding material :-) 8,400 in drabbles alone is a humongous number of drabbles - I think I've written less than a dozen all-told :-D

[fredbassett]

My new year's resolution is not to miss a primeval100 prompt!

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Excellent!

[fififolle]

Wow!!! 840 drabbles!! *screams with glee* What fun.
What a huge amount of fic. Fabulous.
I really hope 2009 is a good year for you on all fronts, and I would adore to meet up again! I'll be there with bells on for all your fic, you can be sure of that!
Happy new year :)

[fredbassett]

LOl, I had to recheck the maths! 8,400 words is 84 drabbles, hon, not 840, lol. But I'll try to write more this year!

[fififolle]

Oh yeah, so it is! *doh*
Ahahahaha!

:)

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

I'm well impressed with your word count, and that's a lot of drabbles, go you.

Hopefully things will be better this year on the personal and health front *hugs*.

[fredbassett]

I was surprised that I've managed to exceed last year's total, for sure.

[torncorpse.livejournal.com]

All the best for 2009!

Hope we get more awesomeness of awesome from you. ^_^

[fredbassett]

Thanks, hon!

*hugs*
