So. That was a Year, wasn't it.
I can't claim my private life was especially exciting, though. Mostly embracing my time as crazy cat lady librarian. I did get to go to the US - NY to visit friends and then Boston with a detour to Salem for tourism. It was fun - got some nice souvenirs to take home. Like a proper Kitkat clock. Well, and a bout of covid, which definitely sucked.
I got a fair amount of reading done this year. You can find the full list on Goodreads. (I am currently angry at them, because they've removed the average user's ability to add books and editions).
Some of my favourite reads were Emmy Carell's novel from 1921, Kan mænd undværes, an epistolary novel about an f/f love affair; Roger Zelazny's A Night in Lonesome October;
C.A.Wolters's Den som hvisker; Bram Stoker's Dracula (yes, I read Dracula Daily); and Knud Pedersen's autobiographical Dengang da jeg var pige, about working class gay life in early 20th century Copenhagen.
I didn't get much writing done, I fear. Watching Sandman inspired me to write a very short fic, Serendipity, which I think might have been the first Hob saves Dream fic. I certainly wasn't the last. Following Dracula Daily and thinking how the cowboy Quincey Morris filled the role of noble savage lead me somehow to write a fic of Jonathan Harker's visit to Romania as if it was an Ancient Greek play, and finally there's my Yuletide story this year, Travel Light written for the Norwegian fantasy novels Ravneringene. They are very good novels. The fic? Well, I lost Yuletide as a writer. By the new year it had 3 hits and a drive-by guest kudos. That's not even enough to call it bad, just - guess nobody read the books? I dunno.
On the other hand, I won Yuletide as a recip, getting an amazing Far til fire fanfic, Læg nu smukt din hånd i min, which you should all go read.
What else? I watched a fair amount of tv shows and some movies. My favourites were definitely The Sandman and the new Interview with the Vampire shows. Encanto was probably my favourite new movie, but I also got to see Jaws for the first time and enjoyed it thoroughly.
