2009 End of Year Fic Meme
Rather than this be a post with fic, it's a post about fic! Mwaha. Anyway, I shamelessly stole this meme from
floweranza and
throttleholdme (who are both ♥) as a sort of year-in-review thing. And since it's a fic meme, why not post it in my fic comm, right? I think that in the end this just might be a testament to the fact that I actually haven't written a lot of fic this year, but...well, that will be something to work on, then. :P
If you would like to contribute to this meme and give me your thoughts on my fic, please do! There are certainly no obligations, but I will love on you forever and it will possibly spur me into finishing all of my work-in-progresses (God knows there are a lot of those). Tell me what your favorite fic was, what wasn't, what should have been different about something, and what you think of het--because I may have (read: did) sign up for this year's
je_whiteday. And that's not all the girlboy lovin' I have in mind to write...
So, thank you!
My favorite story this year (of my own):
Encaustic. That universe is my baby.
Runner-up:
slow passion to that deliberate progress. It's short, I know, but I love it and I re-read it a lot, actually. Ssssh.
My best story this year:
Encaustic, probably. I put a lot of effort into it not to be! Story time: I was going through my documents yesterday and found a file called 'acerola timeline.' And it was a literal timeline, guys, of the events in Encaustic, with notes like 'nino goes home, ohno mopes around, nino comes back (night - approx 9 pm).' Why am I so crazy?
Runner-up:
time to run. This is when I discovered how fun it is to write Sho/Jun and now I just keep DOING IT even though there's not much to show (as of yet, ho ho ho).
Story most tragically underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion:
the untitled jun birthday fic. It will rot your teeth out with sap, probably, but....I think it's cute...
Runner-up: I don't really have a runner-up; the birthday fic is the only one that I think deserves more love. :)
Most sexy story:
just one thing. I mean, it was written for the summer smut meme, and it's pretty smutty. Well, to me, anyway. 8D
Runner-up:
time to run. I would say Clockwork but that's from 2008. Does this mean I need to write more sexytimes?
Most unintentionally *telling* story: My not-yet-posted
je_holiday fic. It was kind of trying to write not only because I totally waited the week before deadline to write it, but there were chunks of it that....mirrored certain things I was going through/feeling at the time. Ahhhh. Okay, moving on!
"Holy crap, that's *wrong*, even for you" story:
just one thing! The fact that Jun is bent over the railing of a boat, okay, and the water's all in his face while Ohno is behind him...talking dirty and leaving marks. Whaaaat.
Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters:
Encaustic. Writing that fic from Ohno's POV made me realize a lot of things about his character in my mind that I hadn't before.
Runner-up: Can't tell you yet! But something I'm writing is definitely not like anything I have ever written before.
Hardest story to write:
time to run actually took FOREVER AND A HALF and I kept getting stuck wih it. This might be because I kept writing it underneath my AP Statistics notes, but whatever.
Runner-up:
just a little prince and his rose. I have two different versions of the story in my documents and deliberated over which one to focus on. I ended up meshing a lot of the two together, which is never fun for me.
Worst story: I am actually not that fond of
at the end of the hook. I started it at least 3 different times and ended up slashing it in half and it didn't do a lot of the things I wanted it to. :/
Runner-up:
je_holiday fic, mostly because I procrastinated....a lot.
Easiest story to write:
could be an organ donor, the way I give up my heart. These drabbles were written over a period of a couple of months, but they were all easy to pack into 100 words!
Runner-up:
four ohmiya drabbles.
Story I'd like to revise: I never want to touch my je_hols fic again. I am emotionally done with it, even if it's not all that great. So this would probably be
just a little prince and his rose. It feels off to me, in some way.
Story I didn't write but will at some point, I swear: Maybe this should say 'stories I have started to write and aren't exactly progressing but will get finished at some point, I swear' instead. I have begun 99% of all the stories I've ever wanted to write, whether it be a line or a paragraph. It's just no telling when my lazy ass will sit down to finish them! There is massive Sakumoto, there is fic about Hawaii, there is het fic, there is massive Sakumoto and more Sakuraiba and a piece for Jun's birthday I didn't finish in time...some of those may go together. But the point is, WATCH OUT 2010.
First story you wrote this year:
time to run. I actually wrote a fic in time for another member's birthday! Nino, you are too much motivation. You need to share.
Last story you wrote this year: fic for
je_holiday.
As I finished this I also realized that the untitled jun birthday fic was actually written in 2008. S-so I cheated for one, but don't tell.
Finally, HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone! Here's to more fic in 2010 and less bashing my head against the computer screen. ♥
