(21 bookmarks)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fifth most words: &lt;a href=&quot;https://archiveofourown.org/works/43403419&quot;&gt;thy happy coast&lt;/a&gt; (5,478 words)&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left: 40px;&quot;&gt;The Terror, Fitzier, canon divergence: Francis is able to attend Carnivale&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fewest words: &lt;a href=&quot;https://archiveofourown.org/works/38051884&quot;&gt;and stay awhile&lt;/a&gt; (717 words)&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left: 40px;&quot;&gt;The Terror, Rossier, pre-canon fluff on an earlier expedition&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m not surprised about the highest hit count (that fic is from 2020 and from a bigger fandom!), but I &lt;em&gt;am&lt;/em&gt; surprised that my old T.M.F.U. fic has the second highest kudos count! Goes to show how small of a fandom e.g. &lt;em&gt;The Terror&lt;/em&gt; is, which is where I&apos;ve written by far the most fics. Also surprised and a little amused that my one longfic, a 25k mutual pining fix-it written for The Terror Big Bang, managed to evade the list completely. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=desecrets&amp;ditemid=26360&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;how is everyone doing? i hope you&apos;ve all had a good holiday, and a good christmas if you celebrate! 🎄&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;christmas here was very quiet this year - &lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://desecrets.dreamwidth.org/24037.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;to get myself through the torment nexus that is christmas shopping from the wrong side of the register i&apos;ve been listening to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/series/p07snwbt&quot;&gt;this audiobook of &lt;em&gt;the wind in the willows&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; which is up on bbc sounds (through some sneaky vpn usage, since i&apos;m not in the uk), and getting regular little instalments of mole and rat and badger and toad has honestly saved my sanity a little this past month.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;once i finish &lt;em&gt;the wind in the willows&lt;/em&gt;, my read books tally for this year will clock in at 16, which is something like 12 or 13 more than i&apos;ve been averaging over the past few years, i think, so i&apos;m very happy with that. &lt;em&gt;finally&lt;/em&gt; realising that i&apos;m allowed to just read whatever silly nonsense i want has definitely been a large part of it: i&apos;ve ploughed through something like eight or nine &lt;em&gt;doctor who&lt;/em&gt; novelisations aimed at children and had a great time doing it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;i received a lovely little fic for yuletide!! i read it first thing in the morning (well, afternoon), while still in bed, on the 25th and enjoyed it very much: &lt;a href=&quot;https://archiveofourown.org/works/61424845&quot;&gt;an angsty, introspective doctor/master oneshot for &lt;em&gt;doctor who: scream of the shalka&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; featuring injury-tending, which is just the kind of trope i love.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strike&gt;to my own shock&lt;/strike&gt;, i also managed to finish my own yuletide fic. &lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___2&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://desecrets.dreamwidth.org/24037.html#cutid2&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___2&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;i have successfully yuletide-ed for the first time! 🎉 kind of a small milestone; i hadn&apos;t tried to do yuletide since i was forced to default twice when i first tried to do it, back in high school, and the experience was so guilt-inducing i never touched it again. 😅 now i can do it again in future without being scared!&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=desecrets&amp;ditemid=24037&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
