Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you'd predicted?
MORE. Way more -- I was way more prolific than I thought!!
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January 2007?
Hmm. Matt/Mohinder, just because of where those 2 characters were back in January of s1.
What's your favorite story of the year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you happiest?
Hardest question ever? I really, really enjoyed writing the Annals and some of the 5 Things prompts make me happy - particularly 5 Things that Never Happened - and my first Tim/Julie, slide your feet ...
Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?
I wrote my first drabble? They're way harder than I expected - have to be very efficient with your words. Other than that, I wasn't terrible adventurous, just tried to improve.
Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the New Year?
I'd love to write a good Sports Night fic. But I think the boys' have such a distinct dialogue, I'm not sure I'd be able to do the Sorkinese.
Story Most Underappreciated by the Universe:
Happily Ever After in the DSM fandom. But that fandom is freakin' tiny so I'm not sure what I expected.
Most fun:
toss up between thirteen because Molly/Micah WIN and this will be our year. Most of my stories are pretty angsty.
Most disappointing:
Nobody Girl, my first attempt at Heroes. And Long Day isn't that great looking back.
Most sexy:
Hmmm, probably Tell Me So. Those silly boys and their stubble!
Story With a Single Sexy Moment:
Hmmm. This is HARD. Maybe Chapter 8 of BiR, that was my first (and potentially only) foray into "smut". But my Tim/Julie fics are pretty sexy too?
Hardest to Write:
Catastrophe and the Cure was hard to focus. And the 50 sentence one was really hard to come up with unobvious answers to the prompts. And making sure the Ranger tone of the Quiet series was a bit of a challenge.
Most Unintentionally Telling:
What? I don't know what this means.
"Holy crap, that's wrong, even for you" story:
I don't think I had any -- I have pretty conventional ships in most ways (minus the incestuous nature of Paire!)
