I just couldn't get to this prompt on time, dammit.

My own year in Star Wars... it's been a lot! Randomly selected:

This comm, obviously. XD Best impulse decision of the last... five years, at least.
I read a lot of Legends content, to very varied results. Honestly, I was surprised! I went into it expecting that it won't be very good and I won't care much, and oh, I was wrong. XD
- Most hated: Republic Commando
- Most invested in despite everything: ...also RepComm, fml
- Most loved: Battlefront: Twillight Company
- Most surprising: the Jedi Apprentice series (which has no right to be this nuanced, omfg)
- Most enjoyable: X-Wing: Rogue Company
I read way too much SW fanfic :P
I had a crapton of story ideas, and I actually wrote some of them! Amazing. And I love my WIP folder. I know a lot of those won't ever get written, but oh boy, so much iddy stuff! bliss
KOTOR and KOTORII. I spent about 100 hours on both those games total, which is a lot.
I finally watched Episode III :P Just what, 15 years late?
Spent way too much time on Wookieepedia. Bless that thing. Also, relatedly, rediscovered my enjoyment of Getting the Canon Right (TM). Going through a TV show episode frame-by-frame to check for a worldbuilding detail? Oh, yes.
Plotted and started writing a book-length fic. It's probably a kitchen sink and I enjoy it immensely.
...did I say this comm? Definitely this comm. I love the discussions, but looking for topics introduced me to a lot of material that I'd never even heard of! Really neat.

My favorites from the fic I've written:

As the Desert Sang -- I love this Shmi, and the whole story, and just. Yes. (The book-length fic is a sequel to this, btw.)
The One That Reaps The Corn -- I think this might be the best thing I've written this year, craft-wise. I'm really damn proud of the fight scenes in this! Beside that, I adore this Arla.
Garbage Finds -- not only did I enjoy writing it, but people like it. I keep getting kudos on it and it's the best thing. :D
Kindness of Strangers -- I wrote a smut fic, hell yeah! XD
