Total word count for July-December 2009: 106,482**
Word count of works posted in the first half of 2009: ~ 80,059
Total for 2009:Â 186,541…!!** No wonder the muses got burned out a little toward the end. And a big, BIG Thank You to Tanaqui, who beta’ed most (and probably all) for me.
For comparison’s sake, word count of fic posted in the last few years:
- 2008:Â Â Â 73,811
- 2007:Â Â Â 60,512
- 2006:Â 128,653
- 2005:Â Â Â 10,370*
* Since I can only be certain of when fic got posted, and stuff gets written all the time, then put on ice, sometimes for months or even a year, the numbers do not accurately reflect actual writing. 2006, for example, includes The Long Road Home, most of which was written over the course of 2005, while 2009 includes two long stories (Journey’s End and The Price Of Betrayal) that were both mostly written in previous years.
** AO3 counts words differently from Open Office, and generally seems to end up with a lower number, so the actual amount of words for this year is probably higher. Or lower, depending on which system you want to put your faith in :-).
