Looking back, did you write more fics than you thought you would this year, less than you thought, or about what you predicted?
Certainly less. Although, I'm working on writing longer fics and giving them more substance rather than only writing really short pieces in larger quantities.
Where did you publish/archive your stories?
LJ and FanFiction.
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January 2012?
Well, I did write a holiday fic this year, and that's completely new territory for me.
What's your favorite story this year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you happiest.
I'd have to say Running the Red. I'm pretty proud of that story.
Okay, NOW your most popular story.
Uh, it'd probably be a close call between Ashes and All I Need.
Story most underappreciated by the universe?
I'm going to go with All the Broken Pieces.
Story that could have been better?
As always, I'm going to say all of them, because I never write flawless pieces and there are always things I wish I could have written better. But there are parts of All I Need that just drive me insane now.
Sexiest story?
Pffft. I don't know. I feel like I'm unqualified to answer this question. Maybe Running the Red? Or just the fifth section of Constellations Made of Us.
Most fun story?
Running the Red. For sure.
Story with single sweetest moment?
Everything That Drowns Me. There are just multiple moments throughout that story where both Jane and Lisbon show how much they care for the other.
The story that made you cry?
Writing the first chapter of All I Need was kind of rough.
Hardest story to write?
Ugh. Constellations Made of Us took me forever.
Easiest story to write?
I think If You'll Be Mine.
Most overdue story?
Oh gosh, I have no idea.
Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?
Well, I wrote my first serious multi-chap this year. Granted it was only three chapters, but still. I think I learned to try not to rush my writing. That's the main issue I have with All I Need. It goes through everything way too quickly.
Do you have any fanfic goals for the New Year?
Not really, no.
