In your own space, celebrate a personal win from the past year: it can be a list of fanworks you're especially proud of, time you spent in the community, a quality or skill you cultivated in yourself, something you generally feel went well. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
I'll keep this fannish and say my biggest accomplishment from the past year was that I wrote quite a lot, at least for my standards. I wrote 19 fics in total, including the Nick/Greg Advent Calendar, which was a collection of 24 drabbles/ficlets. It may not seem a lot to some people, but I'm usually a slow writer and it takes me forever to finish anything, so I consider being able to actually post 19 stories a big achievement.
I'm particularly proud of Absolute Beginners (CSI, Nick/Greg, rated R): I tend to write short ficlets, but this story was a bit longer than my usual length (about 5,300 words) and I liked how it turned out.
I'm also happy for finishing the Nick/Greg Advent Calendar (CSI, Nick/Greg, rated G to PG-13) for the second year in a row: I wasn't sure I could pull it off this year, because November and December were busy months, but I made it in the end.
And I feel like I'm getting a little better at drawing, especially traditional pencil drawings. I really like the picture I drew to illustrate my drabble Afternoon light (CSI, Nick/Greg, rated PG-13) and the one I drew for Harringrove Week in the summer, Working at the car wash (Stranger Things, Harringrove, rated PG). I also compared the picture I drew for Lunar New Year in 2022 (Year of the Tiger, CSI, Nick/Greg, rated G) with the one I drew this year (which I haven't posted yet), and I actually see some improvement!
All in all, I guess my biggest win was that I managed to be productive and creative throughout the year.
