2015 Fic Round-up
Borrowed from my lovelies.
Completed Fics: here
Total Number: 147
Ship/character breakdown:
Heeeere's the top 5:
Tim/Jay - 44
Bruce/Jay - 36
Tim/Roy - 32 whoa
Roy/Jay -8
Terry/Bruce - 8
I totally thought I wrote more Bruce/Jay, but I was pretty nutso for Tim/Jay at the beginning of the year, apparently! :p
Best/worst title?
Best: No Damnation Ever Looked As Cozy As This because fuuuuuck that poem. *__*
Worst: All the ones titled "The one with the" lolol I'm so sorry.
Best/worst summary?
Best: "You fed him coke?" xD
Worst: “Do you think I should be a mermaid?”
LOL JK ALL MY SUMMARY'S KIND OF SUCK.
Best/worst first line?
IIIIII have no idea. My first lines aren;t anything poetic or special. Usually just dialogue. *shrug*
General questions:
Looking back, did you write more fics than you thought you would this year, less than you thought, or about what you predicted?
This fandom has made me CRAZY. I have never written this much for any fandom, ever. It's awesome and amazing and I LOVE IT. Except how much I hate it when I can't write but nevermind that :p
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted last year?
Hm, as a rule I never rule anything out because I know how I am with pairings lol. But probably Hal/Bruce. Because I am VERY possessive of Bruce and generally don't like anyone who isn't a Robin touching him but...I have no idea. I'm somehow able to like, compartmentalize it in my head and be cool with it. What a novel concept, eh? :p
Also I wrote some things for Check Please! And would've liked to write more, but good gravy that fandom scared me away.
What's your favorite story this year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you the happiest.
The one that makes me happiest and will forever make me happy anytime I think of it is "I Made This Place For You. It's little fluffy snapshots of Bruce and Jay being adorably domestic, which I quickly found out is something I love MORE THAN LIFE. Like yes, give me all the porn please and thank you, but I will also take all of your domestic boys pls.
Buuut Let's Pause And Add Our Own Intentions also makes me pretty happy because it's the longest thing I've ever written. I'm still amazed at that tbqh.
Okay, NOW your most popular story.
That would be Torture Me With All I've Wanted, my Jay/Tim D/s series thingy where Tim's a needy little sub and Jason takes care of him. Apparently people really dig that!
Story most underappreciated by the universe?
"I Made This Place For You." :( HOW DO YOU NOT LOVE JASON TODD ICE SKATING I ASK YOU. /cough
Story that could have been better?
Lol definitely all of them. I half-ass my way through life, yo. But no, We Keep This Love In a Photograph fucking haunts me almost on a daily basis. I go back and forth between wanting to tear it down and just saying fuck it. And I don't even know why. It's probably because I actually tried with that one lol. Idk I just feel like it could have been SO MUCH BETTER.
Sexiest story?
Honestly? And this is something I actually never thought I'd write or even want to read, but What You Need I Need Too. Someone on twitter mentioned reading sub!Jay and I was intrigued and in the middle of a major writing funk and when I'm in a funk I like to try out new things, so I gave it a shot and...it's not something I want to read a lot of and it's not even really about Jay being submissive. It's about them taking care of each other, I think. And maybe it's just because it's something I don't usually read or write, but I thought it was pretty hella hot.
Also, anything with princess!Jay in it. ;)
Saddest story?
I...actually got out of the habit of writing angst and now prefer to write only fluff and filth with little angsty cameos. :p So I had to go way back, but I think "You're Coming Home," is pretty fuckin sad. But maybe that's me still being sad that I can't watch Gotham anymore.
Most fun?
Crescendo, definitely. Tim kicking ass in a dress and heels + filthiness. I mean. Yes.
Story with single sweetest moment?
You Are The Survivor Of More Than One Life. You know the scene.
Hardest story to write?
Definitely "Let's Pause And Add Our Own Intentions" because I am such a quitter lol. I like to bang out a couple thousand words and be DONE with it. I wanted to quit writing that so many times, but Rachel was my cheerleader and I actually finished it! Still amazing!
Easiest/most fun story to write?
I remember having a lot of fun writing "Laugh To Erase The Dirt On Your Mind." Just because writing slutty!Tim is pretty much the funnest thing ever. And Roy calling him Yoko. I still laugh at that ngl.
Did any stories shift your perceptions of the characters?
Not my perception of them no. But I have learned a lot about them and gotten into their heads more by writing them so much and developed all sorts of little headcanons about them THAT ARE SLOWLY BECOMING REAL CANON.
Most overdue story?
Probably You Are The Survivor Of More Than One Life because I'd been thinking about it and wanting to write something like that for EVER.
Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?
I pretty much take a risk every time I post something because I'm terrified of criticism lol. No, that's not true. I'm just afraid of crazy people. But also I post some pretty filthy, dubious shit, so half the time I'd probably deserve it.
What did I learn, though?
I leared that Roy Harper would never ever smoke pot and Jason Todd is a mermaid. And that underage hookers would totally not eat Ramen noodles. (see above, re: crazy people.)
What are your fic writing goals for next year?
Just to, idk, maybe mix up my style a little bit. Everything just feels exactly the same and it's bugging me. And to finish the effing twenty-something unfinished fics sitting in my gdocs. :\
