2010 Fic in Review + 2011 Outlook
2010 Fanfiction (4 stories - 24,338 words):
One-Shots
A Tutor Treat. 2,676 words. NSFW. Harry Potter. Harry/Hermione. Harry and Hermione study for the First Task late into the morning and Hermione tries a rewarding method. WARNING for underage sexuality. (Another opportunity for me to throw a twist into a canon story without completely going alternate universe. This is an alternate take on the studying scene in Chapter 24 "The First Task" in Goblet of Fire. Written for Porn Battle IX.)
Show and Tell. 2,002 words. NSFW. Harry Potter. Harry/Hermione. After losing his wand and finding out the truth about Dumbledore's past, Harry doubts the love he has experienced. Hermione takes it upon herself to show him that he is loved and can love again. (I write so many AU fics that I liked the opportunity to fit a twist into the canon story. This one on the camping scenes in Chapter 18 "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore" in Deathly Hallows. Written for Porn Battle IX.)
Fics
Flight Change - Chapter 1. 2,194 words. SFW. Adventure/Mystery/Romance. Batman. Dinah/Dick/Babs, Dinah/Babs, Dinah/Dick. Like most heroes, Dinah Lance lived her life to the fullest, like everyday was her last. But when she finds herself thrown into the past, she is faced with the choice of finding her way back or preventing a past tragedy that changed the lives of a certain bat and bird before she knew them. AU (STATUS: HIATUS/WIP - Story from Dinah's perspective, and I hope to pick it back up in 2011. It is a planned limited series with an epilogue at the end to show the results of Dinah's choices.)
His Girl Friday - Chapter 3, 4, 5 & 6. 17,466 words. SFW. Action-Adventure/Romance. Smallville. Clark/Chloe. Chloe Sullivan waited years to gain Clark Kent's attention. Now that she has it, she is about to learn just how unique dating a farm boy can be. SEASON 2 AU - CHLARK (STATUS: WIP - Basically Smallville from Chloe's point of view with deviances from the tv show the further the story gets. Fell behind due to a busy Fall & Holidays but a new year brings new energy. Chapter 7 is on the horizon for January.)
2011 Writing Goals:
- Writing 10,000 words a month, be it fanfic or original work. I'll announce results monthly to help keep me focused. (Same goal from last year. Fell 3/4 short of my 100k word projection but did leave 6,000 words unpublished. Had more off months than I liked, I think better time management will help my production.)
- Write a book. (It is not something I talk about often but I have been slowly pulling together an original story that I would like to write. I keep pushing it off to reacquaint myself with writing and get the rust off before I start and then life gets busy and it never starts. I'd like to change that in 2011.)
- Continue His Girl Friday and Flight Change.
- Dust off Great Power, Great Responsibility & Great Love, and Beastly Beauty and finish them.
- Write some shorts. (The about to start Porn Battle XI will provide a few opportunities.)
New Story Ideas
The Last - SFW? Action/Adventure. Star Wars. AU. Torn from her Jedi life by betrayal, Ahsoka Tano learns to be deadly and dangerous alongside her friend Bariss Offee as they evade the new Empire that exists as a result of Order 66. Using connections learned from their times as Padawans, Ahsoka and Bariss experience the beginnings of the Rebellion and discover the truth to Alderaan's new princess, Leia. (I really badly want to write a Star Wars fic but with so much on my plate I don't even know if I'll get a chance to start this. I hope I can complete a few stories and get to this.)
