Reflections:
Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you'd predicted?
Definitely more, since I'm coming off a 15 year dry spell. I'm loving that Kathryn Janeway and Chakotay have really sparked my muse. I've never been this prolific a writer! I'm loving every moment of it!
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January?
I tend to not skip around my fandoms, so I prety much stayed with my predictable J/C and Voyager.
What's your own favorite story of the year?
Oh man... For me it's a cin toss between The Times They Are A Changing (Who knew I had an epic in me??!!) and Come Healing. Come Healing has spawned a whole new world for me.
Did you take any writing risks this year?
So many. I posted Times as a WIP, unfinished. I'd never done that before and the fact that I stuck with the story, as long as it was, and it didn't 'get away from me' is a miracle. I'm currently in the middle of a WIP that I really need to get back to. (Before my reading audience starts to riot. LOL)
Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the new year?
Last year my Word count goal was 100K and I wrote over 150K, so this year, I'm sticking with the 100K, with an eye for that 150K again. My goal is to finish a lot of the WIPS (non-posted) that I have started and just stay as prolific as I was last year. Fingers crossed I can keep up the pace!
My best story of this year:
Best story this year? I think Come Healing. It's one that even I like to re-read a lot. LOL
My most popular story of this year:
I'm going to say Times They Are A Changing, but I wonder if that's because it was posted as I went, so each chapter got reactions. It certainly has the most comments over all.
Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion:
I think I'm going to say The Face Of The Enemy. Folks, I think, tend to stay away from these stories because of the 'kid', but, the story is ultimately about Chakotay's reaction to the Vori, it's parallels to the Maquis and Cardassian fight and the fact that his son is half Cardassian.
Most fun story to write:
The Explorer. The whole 'toss the POV' moment at the beginning was a lot of fun to write. As was that whole entire scene with them demoting each other as they spoke.
Story with the single sexiest moment:
25 Years Earlier. I'm rather proud of the sex scene. Even though I forgot to describe Chakotay taking his pants off and now that's all I SEE when I read the damned thing. LOL
Most "holy crap, that's wrong, even for you" story:
You Are Here Under The Authority of Me. Living Witness Janeway forcing Living Witness Chakotay into a Vulcan mating/bonding ritual, complete with proximity bracelets. Much pain if he tries to run away from her. Muhahaha. (I loved this universe, I need to go back and play in it.)
Hardest story to write:
Come Healing. It's hard subject matter, and I ran into stubborn muse meets deadline issues and literally had panic attacks. But, the finished story is so, so worth it!
Biggest disappointment:
I've got a lot of stories started that I've promised. One is a Western that I really really wanted to have done by now. It's not.
Most unintentionally telling story:
You Are Here Under The Authority of Me. Haha, wait... ;) It tells you that I am a devious, devious, author.
Did you reach last year's goal?
Reached it and sailed past! My goal was 100K words. I ultimately wrote 151K. Go me!!
