Fic Round Up 2021

[ziskandra]

Better late than never! Featuring 55 fics over 8 fandoms — no wonder I was so tired by the end of the year! 😅 (Fandoms are: Ace Attorney, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Dragon Age, Harry Potter, Mass Effect, My Fair Lady, The Outer Worlds, and Tiger & Bunny.)

Fun stats: I wrote 88k in 2021, compared to 120k(!!) in 2020. This year I'm sitting at about 43k posted, so maybe I'll end up with a nice round 60k. Who knows.
