2020: a year wrapped

[leeseokmin]

i've been thinking of combining a bunch of "wrapped" memes to form my own. i really loved putting this together as a reflection of how my year panned out & appreciating the good i did get. if you'd like to adapt what i've done, please go ahead! i'd love to see what you do with it! 

FIC

• PERSONAL
  
  • most kudosed: unholy what you know || Haikyuu!! || Iwaizumi Hajime/Oikawa Tooru
  • most commented: be combative/be sweet || SEVENTEEN || LeeSeokmin/XuMinghao ()
  • favourite: in terms of extended metaphor, definitely no dull promise and in terms of what i had fun with, i'd say unholy what you know & be combative/be sweet
  • what would you have done differently?
    • i don't know if there is anything i would have done differently, tbh. i think that despite the pandemic i wrote a decent amount of fic in a time i was feeling otherwise uninspired, and my shift in fandoms towards the later half of the year has inspired me to write a lot in 2021 that i'm excited for!
