Welcome 2019!

I put this on Twitter already, but I've got some goals for 2019
  1. Finish Domestic Affairs
  2. Post 10 more new stories to the AO3 (for 12 total in 2019)
  3. Write 50k in November
The NaNo goal is my stretch goal, everything else feels doable. I have 9k of unpublished Domestic Affairs content waiting for edits, just first of all.  And my WIP list, in no particular order, because I have one of those now, like a cool person:
  1. Domestic Affairs
  2. MegOP Last Mech Standing
  3. MegOP Optimus Prime Keeps an Erotic Journal
  4. MegOP Sex Pollen (With A Twist) 
  5. MegOP Fake Marriage AU
  6. MegOP Reverse Domestic Affairs
If anyone is sensing a theme, it's because there is a theme, I am MegOP trash and I am unashamed.

But before 2019 really gets off to a good start, I want to remember all the cool stuff I did in 2018. First of all, in 2018 I became the kind of person who participates in fandom (still shocked by this tbh). What a life twist! Anyone interested in joining Recovering Lurkers Anonymous is very welcome.

In 2018 I posted two stories to AO3 which clocked in at a combined 36,000 words (so, so shocked). Yesterday I doubled my AO3 story total with two short oneshots to kick off 2019! In November of 2018, I met my goal of writing 25,000 words in November *throws confetti* which I honestly would not have believed possible if you had asked me even as late as April. (Me? Try NaNo again? No way!)  

I started noodling on the story that would become Domestic Affairs around May? I thought to myself, okay, you've got some ideas, start with something simple and short just to get your feet wet with writing for TFs. I thought, if you push yourself, you can really do this idea justice and write 10,000 words for it. (False, so false, I was so, so wrong.) Before I knew it I had 9 chapters outlined and no idea of a total wordcount. (Looks like I'll hit 50k which is frankly terrifying. How did this happen.) But the reception of Domestic Affairs was what was really stunning. People like it! *jumps up and down* People are excited about it! (I'm excited, I'm really looking forward to publishing chapter 7, it has a scene I wrote in like, September that I have been dying to put out in the world.) I made people laugh! 

In 2018 I made friends! The Transformers fandom is wonderful and welcoming and a delight! I love it here! I'm so excited to see what next year brings.
