    After another fantastic year of contributions to Going Down Swinging, we’d like to pay homage to the online works our readers simply couldn’t get enough of! While clicks are only one metric, these particularly popular pieces give us some idea of who we were in 2023, and might even encourage you to indulge in what else GDS had to offer over the past 12 months…

    So, without further ado, here are 2023’s MOST CLICKED!
