Happy 2022 everyone! Another year has come and gone, which means we have another full year of amazing fanfictions to read and write! Here's to your new year's resolutions, whether you stick to them or not what matters is that you created goals in the first place! :D But enough about the future, let's focus on what's been written now!

Starting off strong, we wanted to welcome Hermitty's coming back! They are kinda like the Watty's but just for the Hermittpad Fandom. We are super excited to y'all back in action. Currently they are accepting books for the event, and will stop accepting books on January 13th. If you are interested, please go to their account and join the Discord Server!

Another thing, due to y'all's positive responses on recapping Ao3 books as well, we've decided we'll be starting another recap there soon! The account is same as here, HermittpadRecap. Go subscribe to it and keep an eye out for our upcoming Ao3 recaps! At first, we think we'll keep the platforms separate, but maybe once we get everything figured out and it seems to be working, we'll start combining recaps and recapping books from both platforms in both places. Either way, it's bound to be interesting!

Now that we have that out of the way, on with the lovely books!

KeichiAkechi24 has updated their book The Hermitcraft Daycare AU with chapter twenty and twenty-one, as usual bringing wonderful writing to the table!

Simulation AU from MightysWolf has been given an update in their oneshots book; Mighty's Book of Oneshots 5!

Chapter 9 of ThatOneWaterCat 's Coffee Shop AU is their longest yet! In this chapter, the hermits find time to relax and have fun over the weekend!

The Trauma of Two Worlds by AlphaWolf1107 has been updated this week! Mind any possible trigger warnings before you read! :)

Grian's track record of breaking redstone is not exempted from minecraftfan001 's book Grian's Alter Ego Shenanigans, which has been updated with chapter two. We are excited to see where this book goes.

sixth_constellation 's Set My Soul on Fire has been updated with chapter 20, which focuses on Cleo! My gal doesn't get nearly enough appreciation, so I'm excited to see that happening!

Meteor Effect by Crazycatmeow413 has received an update this week with Updating World 3: The end of the world! They also stated at the end of the chapter that although they'll continue with oneshots, they're taking a break from writing any main plots via a mini hiatus until the new season.

Craving some Watcher content? thathermitweirdo has the perfect book for that! The Silver Sun has reached its fourteenth chapter this week!

Hermitdere32 updated Daisies [A Hermitcraft + Evo High School AU] With chapter seven! Everyone loves a good 'ol highschool AU, amiright?

Arguably it is always a good time for a slumber party might I boldly claim. Speaking of such events, NinjaKitty1928 has written a multi-ship slumber party oneshot in their Hermitcraft Oneshots and Other Things book!

Moon Tears by -Millipeede- has updated with chapter 13, promptly titled 'Selfish'! :O I wonder... if someone.... Is being selfish in that chapter. I might be going out on a stretch here.

Another book to reach its thirteenth chapter is The New Area 77 by Hakkepeiling234. 13 is my favorite number, and who knows, maybe this book is also becoming a favorite!

Repaired by V10l3t_wr1t3s updated this week! It's a crossover AU with the DreamSMP, focusing on the Sleepy Bois group! (Philza, Tommy, Techno, Wilbur)

CWellerman has started a sequel to Misunderstood, Feared and Secretive with the new book titled Secret Demons! Excited to see where the story goes from here.

Nothing like some good 'ol fashioned family angst amirite? Well Xanthicat has written a Ex and X angsty oneshot called Friends or Family!

Abnormality AU by PotatoWolves was updated this week!

Chapter 33 of Hels Rebellion by AvianFalls has updated this week!

WelshKitsune has written a songfic for their s8 oneshots book; Wilted Memories! Do mind the trigger warnings please!

Are you fans of Empires, DSMP and Hermitcraft? Have you ever wondered what would happen if all three were meshed together? Well wonder no longer. Vee_Sad_Boi has started a new Crossover AU titled The CoS Project: "Bringing back the [RADICATED]!

Impact is a new Hermitcraft AU brought to you by _StormDweller_ ! It is a fantasy AU that has super interesting ideas added to it, with our favorite Hermitcrafters thrown in the mix. We suggest checking it out since it's fresh and new :)

and0ari updated Chapter 27 of Bedrock! A fic where TommyInnit accidentally travels to Hermitcraft from the DreamSMP via a bedrock portal!

Not enough Ethdubs for ya? Say no more! Soft-estSoundFan has a Royal AU fic centered around this ship titled Protector! As always, mind the warnings! :D We will add that they are taking a break from Wattpad, so perhaps now is a good time for you to read up? :)

Speaking of breaks, PhantasmagoricalVoid is putting their murder mystery book on hiatus until they can get more ideas. Always good to take a break and not force yourself to write, and that applies to everyone! You make the best writing when you yourself are at your best.

AliasUnknwnn is taking a small break! We'll see you when you get back! :D

EmberDragon34 has expressed interest in hosting a really cool MAP! So go check out their profile if you are also interested!! (I love the concept bro - Azael)

AxolotlQueenAQ has hit their 1 year anniversary on Wattpad, and Kitty_Katt14 has hit their 3 year anniversary! Congratulations to you both for sticking around and we are excited to see what comes next.

Now, onto our lovely milestones! First up is Soft-estSoundFan reached 500 followers!! That's insane (and well deserved), and GFrisk hit 185 followers! Congrats!! easts1de has reached the funny number of 69 followers! Nice ;))) and last of all helicopter_stan (no clue who that loser is) hit 333 followers :0! Awesome!

That brings us to another follower milestone, we actually have hit 969 ;))))) Gettin' super close to 1k, maybe we will do some kind of contest if y'all are interested. If you would participate in something like that, please comment and say if you would!

And as our very last announcement, Saviour Held Captive by sixth_constellation hit 15k reads, congrats man! You are growing more and more everytime we see you, it's amazing man. Keep up the hard work!

And that's a wrap on the first recap of 2022! You are all amazing and the team wishes you all an amazing new year! Keep up the awesome work with your writing, and thank you everyone who has supported not only us but all the other Hermittpad writers!! :D
