2010 Recap
New year. Writing-wise, it's been a pretty slow one compared to last year. Then again, last year was extremely productive (26 stories, 176 205 words).
This year, the total is 9 stories and 41 155 words. It's been a busier year, for sure. On the upside though, that total doesn't include two longer stories that I wrote in the fall that haven't posted yet (one for bandomstuffsit, which is secret for another week, and one that's currently with my beta). And then there's always the 100 000+ words of CSI AU fic spread out over three or four different stories that I really need to give myself a kick in the ass about and finish sometime before the second coming rolls around. (Cheerleading anyone? Someone who wants to wave pom-poms and brainstorm with me back and forth over email? I could really use one of those on that project. Meh.)
Stories I did manage to finish and post in 2010 (in order of posting)

Brendon Urie has had a hopeless crush on Ryan Ross since the mortifying moment when he introduced himself at a national forensic conference by tripping in the aisle next to where Ryan was sitting and getting coffee all over his shirt, so when Ryan offers him a job at the Las Vegas lab, Brendon jumps at the opportunity. When he arrives in Vegas, however, things are a bit more complicated than he'd hoped.

On a RL level, 2010 will probably be remembered as The Year of Moving And Renovating. We bought a new apartment that was a bit of a fixer-upper (meaning nothing had been done on it since the 50s) and lived with spatulas and paint brushes in our hands for six months. Not fun. Especially since we had to live in the middle of the chaos for two of those months.
High points of the year were definitely fandom-related. Having moku_youbi and Muse come visit in the spring, going to see behindthec in the summer and forming a little bandom unit at home with fannyt and intricate_life, complete with late nights, writing sessions and lots and lots of wine. And in addition, there's the chat sessions and IMs and emails, not to mention all the fics and recs and general flail that have taken place. Fandom has definitely kept me sane this year. If I could, I'd send each and every one of you a pony. ♥
Things I'm looking forward to in 2011:
1) Not renovating. \o/
2) Chilling out at new awesome job and not be stressed all the time.
3) Hopefully going back to the US to visit awesome fandom friends
4) Friends and fic and flail (hopefully with wine added to the mix)
5) Panic putting out their new album. And going on tour somewhere I can see them *crosses fingers*
6) Hanging out on my couch and enjoying the extreme comfort of maternity clothes without the downside of being pregnant. *win*
Happy New Year, everyone.
*smooches*
