Overall Thoughts:
Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you'd predicted? jesus christ, i wrote a lot more fic than i thought i did. almost three nanowrimos in word count, holy shit. i guess all the little things added up in the end. i don't really think any of the fandoms i wrote for are much of a huge break from what i feel like i'm interested in (sports, music, nerdy things) though i will say i didn't think i'd ever be as invested in a movie/the entertainment industry like i am right now.
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January? i guess i wrote a lot more porn than i expected? i never thought i'd revisit shinee, and then i wrote jongyu porn so... also i hadn't written fictional person fic in years and years, so writing mark/eduardo was a nice reintroduction to that. even though it's... kind of still rpf but not because they're the movie versions of the real life people. fuck, i will never escape the clutches of rpf :'>
What's your own favorite story of the year? fuck, um. after a couple of months most of my own writing absolutely mortifies me, so... :| if i have to choose, at the moment it's someone you cannot reject, something i will not neglect, i suppose.
Did you take any writing risks this year? lol i feel like i didn't? i don't know. a lot of the things i wrote, i wrote on whims or because i liked the idea. i don't think i ever actively tried to change my voice or my style or anything, which kind of sucks. oh, like a plane in the sunset (with nowhere to land) was in second person and was non-chronological in format, which was really interesting and fun to work with.
Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the new year? write in more western fandoms even though they intimidate the fuck out of me! also writing for tsn has been really, really fun. i feel like getting more invested in movies i enjoy in the next year, because it's something i've never really done before. also actually finish fic for a big bang for once.
From my past year of writing, what was...
My best story of this year: i don't know :| you guys can help me decide :|
My most popular story of this year: um, delicious bookmarks wise it was and all the roads we have to walk are winding, but merlin fandom is enormous so that probably skews it. comments wise... i don't know why you say goodbye, i say hello, i think?
Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion: idk i really liked the miro-centric one, like a plane in the sunset (with nowhere to land), but i guess since it was pretty gen no one really took interest? idk.
Most fun story to write: BAHAHA, the internet taught me how to feel (now real life has no appeal). that thing flowed out of me like water, it was so easy to write :')
Story with the single sexiest moment: lol i guess the whole starfighter fic was pretty porny. v__v
Most "holy crap, that's wrong, even for you" story: the weird bastian/mesut + bastian/lukas thing, lmao. idk i am a prude so i never write anything that is like... really kinky? so that's the one :| it's not even that bad :|
Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: hmm, doesn't take much for me to come unglued because i'd never actually thought about eduardo being ~ready to forgive mark~ after a while, since it's so tiring to actively hate/be angry at someone. at least not until morgan prompted it. and it made me think about different ways mark could've thought about contracting wardo out of the company.
Hardest story to write: lmao, man, there were a lot of stories that were fucking hard to write, especially to finish. i'll say and all the roads we have to walk are winding, though, just because it kept getting longer and longer and i was like WHEN IS THIS THING GOING TO END. OH OKAY, 12K, COOL. still the longest fic i have ever written.
Biggest disappointment: most of my speed skating stuff, i guess? i didn't know enough about the characters, and around that time my writing was still kind of growing into itself, so a lot of it was awkward and forced, imo :(
Biggest surprise: i didn't think so many people would like deck the halls, bruise your hand, that sean/perry drabble i wrote for seouldout.
Most unintentionally telling story: probably do not let the hero in your soul perish, if only because i totally projected my own thoughts and feelings into the fic, like manuel's thoughts about defending the goal against penalty kicks, and lukas's mindset when he was taking one, etc.
mostly, though, i'm glad i got to meet so many ridiculously lovely and infinitely awesome people through fandom and fanfic. here's to a more insane (and hopefully more prolific!) 2011! happy new year, guys :)
