Saturday, 10 August 2024 07:28 pmCreator reveals have happened for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
battleshipex! Meaning this year’s round is officially over, though I still have like five things on my WIPs list that I’d still like to write as late treats. (Or. Four as late treats—the last is a concept that I came up with for gameplay reasons, but never had an actual recip for, so I’m probably going to post that one outside of the collection once/if I write it.) Now that it’s over, I want to share what I made! And, to steal an idea from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
shadaras, I’m going to also look at some more precise stats for what I made as well.
In total, I wrote 12 works for a total of 18K. This is very close to being double my previous Battleship best! For reference, in 2022 I wrote 9.4K across 9 fics, while in 2023 I wrote 8K across 7 fics.
Another note: an unofficial stretch goal I set for myself before the game began was to post at least one thing for each phase of the game. I was actually pretty sure that I would fail at this, particularly since I was very bad at the boss battles last year, but wanted something to strive for—instead, I actually managed to post not just one, but at least two things for each phase! Honestly, I’m a little bit impressed with myself for both of those things, especially considering that I’d usually consider myself a slower writer. I was not joking when I said that I lost my chill this year! And had the best of times doing so. ♥
Here are the fics I wrote, organized by which phase of the game I’d posted them for: ( beneath the cut )
Of those, my personal favorite is the river drowns itself (SVSSS), but I’m also particularly fond of every monstrous hungry part of you (SVSSS), that one may smile, and smile, and be a villain (SVSSS), and strawberry blossoms (Stardew Valley)!
Now, more stats! Again, this section is inspired byshadaras’ wrap-up. ( beneath the cut )
