In some ways, this has been another frustrating year; but it ended well. From spring to summer, RL was hair-tearingly slow as various house repairs were pending ... pending ... pending. However, come October, the contractor got his act together and all have now been done. Fannishly speaking, some exchanges that I've done in the past were either ended, or ending, or had no prompts that interested me. On the other hand, I completed two more installments in the M*A*S*H series I've been writing about Hawkeye's first year home after the end of the Korean War; completed an unfinished Sime~Gen story that's been lingering for more than ten years (and the first part of another that's waited just as long); and wrote my first Original Work, which came in at a mere 38K.

Of course, I also got only partly through the story I'd been writing for FK Fic Fest, and had to quickly substitute something much shorter, and didn't get any more written on the Arrowverse series about Leonard Snart's childhood. Also, the Original Work decided, even before the anon period was up, that it wanted a sequel; and then, over Christmas, informed me that there had to be a third part as well. (It clearly has ambitions.) Some of this may augur well for 2023, of course.

This year, in some of the gift exchanges I did, I asked for Original Works with a variety of superhero related prompts; and, of the nine stories I got this year, no fewer than five fit that description! I may have my favourites; but I'm not saying. I can assure you, quite truthfully, that there were no duds.

Anyway, here's what I wrote in 2022. Since I've been spending Christmas with Flo, I haven't made any webpages for my Yulefic; so those links will have to come later, when I get home.
