Okay, so I did it. It took forever, but I couldn't write anymore tonight and I was determined not to dick around with that fucking Cake Mania anymore. *grumble* I was surprised that it wasn't more, but my wordcount for 2007 was 238,690 (fanfic) and 121,000 (original) bringing the grand total to 359,690. Next year that figure will be reversed, since I have a real novel to write, but I don't mind saying that I still have several fanfics on the menu. :D
I added a few comments here and there, just in the interests of offering my thoughts on the fics I wrote this year. I don't expect anyone to give a rat's butt, but at least I'm posting a handy-dandy link list for all the junk I wrote. *again with the humanitarian*
And so here it is:
Fandom/Paring: FFVII - Before Crisis. Tseng/Reno, Rude/Jailbait!Rufus
Title:
Fait AccompliRating: R/NC-17 depending on your inner prude
Summary: What Rufus wants, Rufus gets.
Written for
ponderosa121 Notes: This was the first story I wrote in 2007. I wrote it for Pondy, who drew me the most beautiful GPG pic ever. I miss her. L I love pushy, bitchy Rufus - and so here he is.

Fandom: Loveless
Title:
The EdgePairing: Seimei/Ritsuka
Rating: G
Written for
shikishi Notes: I don't write this fandom as beautifully as Kishi does, but sometimes I do it anyway.
***
Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Title:
The MergerPairing: Golden Pair & AtoTez, though - being an AU office fic - there will be an abundance of pairings and tomfoolery.
Rating: PG for now. Pornorific for later.
Summary: Tezuka is not having a good year. He's got an Atobe gunning for his virtue company, a wildcard Art Director with a lovesick assistant and an incredible distaste for Opera. When Atobe gets up to a little corporate raiding, will Tezuka step aside to make room for an entire host of new employees or will he play Atobe's game and keep his cards close to his vest? *
Chapter Two Notes: This is what happens when sarahofcroydon and I create things together - have fun trying to figure out who wrote what. As I couldn't come up with a title that didn't scream 'soap opera', we considered 'Everybody takes it in the ass'. Lil vetoed that, sadly. And, really, it is a soap opera. :D We WILL finish this one day. I swear.

Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Title:
FavorPairing: Akutsu/Tezuka wtf.
Rating: R. Durr.
Summary: Akutsu's a prick.
written for
prillalar Notes: I acknowledge that this is complete and utter crack. I also maintain that even the crackiest pairings can work if you really, really want them to. :D

Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Title:
Letting the Cables SleepRating: NC-17
Pairing: Kite/Tezuka
Summary: Kite tries to accustom himself to an empty bed after Rin has packed up and gone. A chance meeting with an old rival helps to ease the separation anxiety. +
part two +
part three +
part four +
part five +
part six +
part seven +
part eight +
part nine +
part ten +
part eleven +
part twelve +
part thirteen +
part fourteen +
part fifteen Notes: This is what I spent the better part of 2007 writing. Here it is almost a year later and I’m still not finished. What started out at an experiment for crack turned into one of my all-time favorite pairings ever. I think this pairing works because I believe it can and have written it to reflect my own feelings. Whatever your stance on Kite/Tezuka, you have to admit that they look damned fine together. ♥

Rated: PG-13 for hetero-fumbling.

Title:
One more thingPairing: Oishi/Tezuka
Rating: PG-13 for boykissing
Summary: Oishi and Tezuka have more in common than Oishi realizes.
Notes: I loved writing this. Oishi is such a girl and Tezuka is such a stick in the mud. I maintain that these two smooching is incredibly hot. I'm still waiting for the one where they get brave and rub against each other.

Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Title:
UntitledRating: PG.
Pairing: Atobe/Ryoma with unrequited TezuRyo & AtoTez because Tezuka has since moved to Okinawa to be with the man of my dreams.
Notes: I blame my Atobe/Ryoma interest entirely on

Notes: Allison is meaner than I am. But I'm by far the coolest Sue.
***
Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Title:
Phone TagPairing: AkuTaka
Rating: R, but only because Akutsu has a dirty mouth.
Summary: Akutsu is pissed off at Kawamura.
Notes: This is me figuring out that AkuTaka moves me in ways that TakaFuji can't. Namely in good, sexual ones.
***
Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Title:
PlayoffsPairing: AkuTaka
Rating: R. Boyrubbing and Akutsu's dirty mouth.

Title:
Birthdays with ChocotoastRating: PG
Pairing: Kite/Tezuka
Summary: Tezuka's a grump. Kite likes him anyway.
Notes: Buh, romance. Why is this pairing so, so romantic when I write it? I think Tezuka is a romantic, deep down and Kite, well…Kite is too. Shut up, it works.

Fandom: Harry Potter
Title:
Better to doPairing: Neville-centric
Rating: R
Summary: Longbottom jerks it.
Notes: Poor Neville. I guess it's just as well he wound up with some chick. *sigh* I liked writing this, though. I love the HP universe, even though I can't write it for shit. I just don't have the imagination, sadly.

Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Title:
How to Start a GSAPairing: Prince of Tennis ensemble. Well, and GP, sorta.
Rating: PG for racy talk about...homosekshuls.
Summary: It's always been Oishi's dream to start a Queer Student Council - he needs to be president of something, for pete's sake. :D Now he's in high school - nothing's going to stop him.
a/n ~ Crack. That's all. For my Lil-chan. ♥
Notes: One of the absolute favorite stories I wrote this year. This is how I see Oishi and I won't hear any differently. This is totally what's going to happen in high school.

Nothing to Lose ~ or Ohtori and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day Pairing(s): Ohtori/An, Ohtori/Shishido, Various
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Ohtori has a lot to learn about love. A serendipitous meeting with Tachibana An gives him the courage he needs to be true to his heart.
Notes: I was bummed that there were a million
spring_fluff fics posted. A lot of them were buried and this was one of them. I had a really good time with this story, though, and while it's ultimately slash, messing about with An was fun.

Fandom: Harry Potter
Title:
Strong from an EmptinessPairing: Harry/Draco
Rating: PG
Summary: Sectumsempra aftermath.
Notes: Again: HP is not my bag. But I was in an odd mood when I wrote this and it turned out precisely as I imagined it would. My draco doll is still one of my prized possessions.

Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Title:
Brighter than the SunPairing: Yuuta/Mizuki
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Yuuta is transparent, but he's making progress.
Notes: Oh, how I love YuuMi. Yuuta might be a typical boy, but Mizuki is not, which is why I think they'd hook up. Straight or not, nobody can resist Mizuki.
***
Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Title:
Must have been the rainPairing: Yuuta/Mizuki
Rating: PG
Summary: Yuuta's umbrella is a piece of shit. Mizuki thinks it's not so bad.

Pairing: Atobe, Kite (implied Atobe/Ryoma & Kite/Tezuka)
Summary: Ryoma's cousin is getting married. Everyone's an in-law, now.
Notes: I have no idea why, but this is another of my favorite stories. I loved the atmosphere and the dynamic between Atobe and Kite. I will write Kite/Atobe in the coming months - just you wait and see.

The Bible's VPL: a tale of acceptance, tennis and misplaced jealousyCharacters: Shitenhouji ensemble
Rating: PG
Summary: There's a new kid in town - and he wants to play for Shitenhouji.
Written for
takewing Notes: My first stab at Shitenhouji. While I'd really wanted to get into some Kenya/Zaizen, I was pretty happy with this, overall. Osamu is probably my favorite. K

Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Title:
SvengaliPairing: Sakaki/AtoTez
Rating: R for suggestive themes only
Summary: Love takes many, many forms. Some of them, however, are nothing more than a sickness.
Notes: This is the story that I enjoyed writing the most this year. I totally, completely lost myself in the writing of it. It is meant to precede 'Thin Ice' (the Sakaki/Dan I wrote previously) but I think this far exceeds the purpose of that story. I'm really proud of this despite the edges of decency that I skirted with it. :D

Normal CuriousPairing/Characters: Rikkai ensemble ~ Kirihara/Yanagi, Sanada/Yukimura, Yagyuu/Niou, Marui/ego
Rating: PG-13/R
Summary: Kirihara is desperate for advice. Even if it's very bad advice.
Written for
reposoir Notes: I love writing for Allison. Writing for Allison is like writing for myself. This fic doesn't even touch the one she wrote for me in this exchange, but I really enjoyed writing it. It made me fall in love with Kirihara.

Fandom: Prince of Tennis
title:
Disambiguationpairing: Kirihara/Yanagi - D1
rating: Smuttastic
Summary: Kirihara is tired of standing still. Niou is tired of going in circles.
Notes: Officially, Iwrote this for Kirihara's birthday. Unofficially, I wrote it for Allison. We worked hard on our Kirihara birthday projects and I think we came up with some great stuff. I still read hers.

Title:
ad hocPairing: Tseng/Reno
Rating: Very dirty. C'mon, we're talking about guys here.
Summary: Restless, frustrated, and too tired to bother chasing skirts, two Turks work it out the best way they know how. No apologies, no regrets.
a/n ~ co-authored with
entrenous Notes: Teri and I started writing this months before we actually finished it. But there is no one I'd rather collaborate with. We've been together for quite a while and she always inspires me and cheers me on. Plus, we're filthy and we write great porn together.

Fandom: Ookiku Furikabutte
Title:
What Haruna Wouldn'tPairing: Abe/Mihashi
Rating: PG - boykissing
Summary: Abe's frustrations stem from something quite simple.
Notes: Oofuri is like Viewfinder, FF8 & FF7 to me. I will always flirt with them a little, but I will never give them the time that Tenipuri gets. Having said that, I'd kill for Haruna/Abe with side Abe/Mihashi and Haruna/Mihashi. Kill. Kishi wrote me one once, but I refuse to believe that she and I are the only ones who like them.

Title:
and caramel on topRating: PG-13 for inappropriate erections.
Summary: Yanagi invites Kirihara out on a cold, snowy day. And promptly proceeds to embarrass himself.
Written for
shikishi Notes: This is the Akaya I love. Boyish, awkward, just on the cusp on manhood. He's such a mess. And honestly, Yanagi hides a lot of sexy in that ugly jersey of his.

Carrot Sticks and PhilosophyRating: G
Pairing: Higa ensemble - Operation steal Kite's Captain Pants :D.

With Love from Kuni-chanRating: PG-15 :O
Pairing: Tezuka, Yukimura, Hospital.
Written for
reposoir Notes: Tezuka injures his colon and is forced to spend some time in the hospital. His new roomie is almost as unsettling as his colostomy bag. Birthday badfic for Allison. Read at your own risk.

Title:
When All is Said and DoneRating: R
Pairing(s): Yanagi/Yukimura - Sanada/Kirihara
Summary: Yanagi covets. Oh, how he covets.
Written for
illuminations Notes: I really enjoyed writing this. The depth and variety of emotions Yanagi feels for Yukimura was great for me to write: it let me explore troika the way I'd always wanted to. The side Sanada/Kirihara was just as good if not better. It's always cool to step back and try to see things differently than you're used to seeing them.

Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Title:
For the ReunionRating: R
Pairing(s): Tezuka/Fuji
Summary: Fuji comes home to find Tezuka still waiting, somehow.
Written for
reddwarfer Notes: Definitely a first. While I can appreciate the beauty of Tezuka/Fuji, I don't get the dynamic. Writing this fic was a great way for me to experiment because I can't understand something until I can make it work inside my head. I'm not sure if I actually managed to accomplish that, but I did like writing this story quite a bit. Tezuka/Fuji is a dreamy, confusing sort of pairing and, when it's done right, I can admit to seeing the lure.
And what's really great is that I still managed to make lots of headway in the next chapter of Cables. It's going to be a long chapter, I fear. I may have to split it up into two chapters.
Let this icon be a foretelling of things to come. :D :D :D
