[UPDATE] A Year of Fic in Review & A Meme
One of my resolutions for 2007 was to write more fics than I did in 2006.
Well, quite obviously, that didn't happen.
There are a number of reasons for this, including:
* Not having time to keep up with series I like, and not really getting into many/any new fandoms
* Ending up in my first real serious relationship (9 months and still going strong!)
* Staying in Pittsburgh over the summer, taking classes on top of working 40 hours a week
* In general, being busier than I expected to be
Hopefully, 2008 will be a better year of fic for me. I will say that I do have several in-progress fics that I hope to finish before the end of Christmas Break, including my contribution to this year's serenity_santa, which should be posted in the next day or so.
Also, I apologize for not responding to comments for the past year. It's not that I don't appreciate them, but sometimes they pile up so quickly that it becomes overwhelming. One of these days, I will go through the backlog and respond to all of them, I promise. ♥
For now, I leave you with a meme. I love yuletide, and with so many great fics posted this year, I would like to do anything I can to encourage people to read this wealth of new fanfiction. So, without further ado, here's the instructions (courtesy of dhaunea):
Go to the Yuletide Archive.
Read everything that appeals to you in various fandoms.
Guess the story (or stories) that I wrote, and I will write you a story to request.
Hints:
1. I wrote only one story this year.
2. My story was not in a book (novel) or movie fandom.
3. My fic's genre (romance, horror, drama, humor, mystery, etc.) is one I don't usually write.
4. My story was not written from a first person POV.
5. My fic could be considered slash/yaoi, but only if you squint.
6. I have not written in this fandom before.
7. Unlike last year, this year's fandom does have its own category on FFnet.
8. My story was considerably shorter than last year's (11K+ words), but not any less than my average fic length.
Go forth. Read. Feel free to list your guesses here. Winners (announced Jan 1) will get at least a short vignette of their choosing.
Also of note, lurkers are welcome to play. You do not need to be on my f-list.
With these hints, it should not be too difficult to figure out. I don't do request memes often, so take advantage of this opportunity if you like my writing!
