Annual Fic Meme (2010 Edition)
I wasn't going to do this, seeing as I wrote practically nothing last year, but then it turns out I wrote a lot in January! And would be breaking a 5-year tradition if I didn't do this. So, here we go.
Stories posted this year... (with wordcount)
January
On the Mend (483)
Golden Ratio (10,526)
Lucky Number (17,946)
Underwood (6,332)
February
Composite (4,350)
April
Goodbye Dolly (2,120)
May
The Cyberwoman AU (unfinished WIP snippets) (~10,000)
Worked on, but not finished or published:
Tropical holiday Jack/Ianto crackfic
Polymorphous!Jack romance
Epic grandfather paradox story that incorporates CoE
Statistics
Total published words: 51,775
Total written words: ? too long ago to keep track
Total stories/ficlets/snippets published: 7
Ideas that I still really want to write (but haven't started): None right now :/
Wordle of total wordcount (top 300 words, excluding common ones--the, in, on, etc--as well as names):
Now, the rest will be brief, because I can barely remember writing all that stuff a year ago.
My favorite of my own stories this year:
I... can't decide. I like all the longer TW ones I wrote in that period.
My best story this year:
I thought Golden Ratio was great, but I think the porny ones were more popular.
Story most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion:
See above.
Most fun story:
Probably Lucky Number, as it was essently Groundhog Day porn.
Most sexy story:
Lucky Number, see reasons above.
Story with single sexiest moment:
Um, Lucky Number had the most sexy moments, but I think Underwood was the most regaled as being sexy.
Hardest story to write:
Underwood took me about 5 months to painstakingly craft, but Goodbye Dolly came as I was slipping out of fandom love so was hard to write for entirely different reasons.
"Holy crap, that's wrong even for you" fic:
I think last year I objected to the moral judgement of "wrong" in this question (should really re-write it one year), but taking the spirit of it: Lucky Number had the porniest, kinkiest scenes in it.
Fic that shifted my own perceptions of the characters:
Composite was great for that. Gosh, it was fun to write more of a character profile, without heavy porn being a vehicle for it.
Biggest disappointment:
That I fell out of fandom love before finishing The Cyberwoman AU especially, but all the other WIPs and wonderful ideas I had, too :(
Biggest surprise:
That people really seem to love Goodbye Dolly a lot. Like I said, writing it was somewhat akin to pulling teeth.
Most telling story:
I hate this question. I think most of what I wrote this year was intensely id-ish porn; there's nothing really subtle or coy in any of that.
What's next?
I want a new fandom :( But I'm trying to write some original fiction, too.
I have a stack of unpublished Torchwood snippets and bits of WIPs that are going to languish forever, now. Should I publish them somewhere? As various chapters on AO3, perhaps? Or on this journal? Eh, I don't know, I think the Torchwood-on-my-flist boat has sailed, now, so it's possibly not even worth it. Still, leaving them completely unknown makes me twitch a bit. (As does the thought of publishing something dodgy and unfinished, so eh.)
