End of the Year Fic Meme
Stolen from...pretty much everyone. >> Teasers and reminiscing ahead (along with NSFW stuff)~ And, um, will probably be posting a few things after I post this, so I'll just count those towards 2012. |D;; If anyone else wants to do it, I made a public doc here. It's up for grabs~
Fics that I've written this year:
Key:
[i] incompleted
[c] completed
[o] oneshot
[d] drabble
[2] collab
[i][2] Topophobia {PG-13 to NC-17} - Part 1 & half of 2
3min (changmin/minho/taemin) - After tragedy occurs, Taemin finds himself unable to enter an auditorium, much less perform on a stage. And then Minho and Changmin come along. Will they be able to coax the dancer to conquer his fear and perform once again?
[i] Sins and Virtues {PG-15} - K&W, D&P, P&S
yunjae & 2min (yunho/jaejoong and minho/taemin) - Based on the seven sins and seven virtues. Two demons named Jaejoong and Minho seem to have fallen in love with two human brothers. Now, their worlds are about to get shaken.
[i] Without My Drug {NC-17} - Chapters 4 - 18 (+rewritten chapters unposted) - unlinked
2min (minho/taemin) - There were lines that weren’t meant to be crossed. There was a line for falling for your enemy, and a line for a vampire hunter being in love with a vampire (and vice versa). Too bad Minho and Taemin seemed to cross both. Now they’ll both have to deal with the consequences of their actions.
[i] The Rich and Famous {PG to NC-17} - Chapter 1
2min (minho/taemin) - A model quickly climbing to the top of the social pyramid, Taemin was always the one who stood out among a crowd even when he wasn't trying to be seen - not that he's complaining. However (and unfortunately), he may have found his match in the form of a famous actor that went by the name of Minho.
[o][2] On Top Of The World {PG-13}
2min (minho/taemin) - For as long as he could remember, they were happy. (If only they could have stayed like that forever.)
[o] School Serious: The Forceful Teacher {NC-17}
2min (student!Minho/teacher!Taemin)
[o] Easing the Pain {PG}
yunjae (yunho/jaejoong) - Sometimes, the person you love needs you more as a friend than anything else, and that was exactly what Yunho would be - a reliable best friend who would be there through thick and thin.
[d] Some Day {G}
Jaejoong!centric - Because there are days when JYJ just wants to sit down and remember.
[d] Tired {G}
Jaejoong!centric - Jaejoong more than often remembered the other two members he left at home.
[d] falling {PG}
2min (minho/taemin) - two angels falling to earth.
[d] Halo {G}
OT5 (onew/jonghyun/key/minho/taemin) - teaser - Because without him, they would be nothing.
[o] I'm Going to Hell {NC-17}
stepbrothers!2min & yuntae (minho/taemin, yunho/taemin) - Minho hated his step-brother's new boyfriend with a passion and finds himself acting on his emotions.
[d] Love Passes Away {PG}
2min (minho/taemin), taemin!centric - His heart sank when he realized it wasn't Minho who had called him.
[o] To Wake Up {PG-13}
2min (minho/taemin), minho!centric - He buried his head between his palms, fearful and frustrated that he was having nightmares within nightmares within nightmares. Would this never stop?
[o] Just the Regular {PG} - not posted to this journal yet. (It's actually for a secret santa but they haven't posted results yet so shh. And if you find it, don't comment on it, okay? I'd rather only let my receiver comment. ^^)
2min (minho/taemin) - After another relationship-gone-bad, Minho was nearly about to give up on love when a waiter manages to tell him differently. Making friends with Taemin was obviously going to happen and as they scheme to push two of Taemin’s coworkers together, Minho and Taemin find themselves falling in love - in an ever-cliched coffee shop.
+ a crap ton that I haven't posted or that got lost when my computer crashed.
Total Fics: 15
Total Words: Around 130k including all the things not posted. -too lazy to find the exact word count-
Fandoms: 2 - shinee and dbsk
Challenges/fests/misc: shinee_duets, shineesanta, I think there were some others but I've completely forgotten.
Overall Thoughts:
Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d predicted?
I think I wrote more than what I thought I would. Going into 2011 from 2010, I didn't think I'd be so into kpop like I am right now. I thought it was just a phase and soon I'd go back to my animanga fandoms - which I didn't even write for much anyway, I only drew during those times.
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January?
OT5 fics and the Changmin/Minho/Taemin. And honestly, I never expected to write for any other fandom except for SHINee. I did write a B2ST fic, but that got deleted when my computer crashed and I never got the courage to rewrite it (because, tbh, I thought it was perfect and I'd rather not tar the memories, so yeah.)
What’s your own favorite story of the year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you happiest?
To Wake Up, definitely. But it was kind of popular, so I'm not complaining.
Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?
Not really. This year, for me, was just getting back into the swing of writing at all. Before I started writing for the kfandoms, I hadn't written fanfics for around 2 years. It was...difficult. x_x;; But I learned that even when I think something I write sucks, it's quite the opposite and I shouldn't be such a negative Nancy (even though the opposite occurs too LOLOL;;).
From my past year of writing, what was...
My best story of this year:
To Wake Up
This story, written half-way through the year, pretty much told me how deep in fandom I was. What I mean is that it showed me I wasn't going to be leaving my kpop fandoms any time soon LOL.
My most popular story of this year:
Multi-Chaptered: Without My Drug
Oneshot: The Forceful Teacher (even when it was /reposted/, ugh)
Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion:
Topophobia
Kei and I wrote this but I think we didn't advertise quite as strongly as I had thought (we only crossposted to one comm, I think), so that might be why as well. Plus, we haven't updated in a while. >>;;
Most fun story to write:
Chaptered: Sins and Virtues - also marked a subtle change in my writing style, I think. Anyways, what's more fun to write than "not bad, yet not" good demons?
Oneshot: Just the Regular - different writing style all-together. Though I started doubting myself while I was finishing it, I really liked the playful way I was writing it. Not a lot of descriptions or worries, and I guess that just lightened the burden from writing such a thing.
Story with the single sexiest moment:
I'm Going to Hell
I have stories with more porn in it than this fic has, but honestly, "have third-base sex with your stepbrother in a tiny car" appeals too LOL;;
“Nghh,” Taemin managed to breathe out when Minho released his lips, arching his back when Minho trailed his hand down Taemin’s rib cage, fingers tracing each bone sensually.
Most “holy crap, that’s wrong, even for you” story:
Honestly? I don't really have one. But I do have a "Holy crap, this is mind-boggling and slightly horrifying" story, from what my readers tell me - Without My Drug.Sounds of heavy, unconcealed footsteps made his ears perk up. He rolled his eyes over without moving his head to look at the metal door separating him and the person who was coming, a contemplating expression twisting his features before a smile, so innocent that it was terrifying, appeared on his face.
No one, absolutely no one, was going to get away with locking Lee Taemin up.
Not that bad, right? But apparently it was. -shrugs-
Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters:
Easing the Pain
When I originally started writing this, I had been...pretty fed up with my own best friend. In order to remind myself why I was friends with her in the first place, I set out to write this. But right after a few sentences, the whole structure of the fic changed. In the end, I got something that made me contemplate idols in general. Boring stuff is boring though, so I won't go into that.
Hardest story to write:
Without My Drug
The only story I've ever wanted to fully rewrite. I think that just shows how much I hated and loved it.
Biggest Disappointment:
Without My Drug. See above.
Biggest Surprise:
The Forceful Teacher
Never thought I would write pure smut, but meh.
Most Unintentionally Telling Story:
Tired
Amount of fic that lurks, unposted, on your hard drive and why:
Around 90k, more or less. I have about, what, 20 series that I started but never finished/got into? XD Why? Half of them were lost when my computer crashed, and the other half aren't done, so why post them?
Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the New Year?
Not really. I just want to stay in fandom, even if my RL schedule gets busier. Maybe write more dbsk fics (and actually post them).
WIP Teasers:
From WMD
Automatically, Key looked at him and snorted, lips opening to reveal flawless white teeth. “You always know, huh, Taeminnie?” The younger vampire didn’t bother to blink at the nickname; he just gave an amused smile at the reaction he received.
“I’ve been your best friend for more than a century, Key,” he said, an eyebrow quirking as his smile widened. “I would hope that I know you by now.”
“Details,” Key waved him away, looking about ready to pounce on him. “So, I bet you want to know what happened, right?”
Not really. Taemin wasn’t about to tell the abusive other that though. Too bad for him, Key was a mind reader.
“Right, that’s what I thought,” Key continued after a pause. He guessed his friend was feeling generous today and held back a laugh. “Someone got killed tonight.”
Here's one more from another series I've been working on. It's tentatively titled Rising Overhead - it's pretty much a tennis fic (slightly inspired by Prince of Tennis /and/ real life tennis). The pairings so far include 2min (shinee), YunJae (dbsk), and JinChan (b1a4).
“Hey, Yoochun,” another voice slipped in, a head poking out from behind Jaejoong. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes when he saw Yunho, their captain and Jae’s minion, step up behind his boyfriend, wrapping his long, lean arms around the other securely, like a well-trained dog.
What a tool.
Current captain of the tennis team, Jung Yunho was quite the formidable player, but because of his taste in relationships, Yoochun was forced to question his sanity.
“Hey, capt’n,” he said, a leery smile on his face as he eyed the lovebirds. “You look nice and refreshed as well. Spending the whole summer doing who-knows-what with Jaejoong-vice seems to have been good for you,” he muttered, unable to keep the snark and grease out of his voice. Jaejoong glanced at him silently, clearly entertained, before shrugging off Yunho’s arms and moving into the locker room, Yunho following him at a more moderate pace.
