You can see a list of exactly what I wrote here.

: : W R I T I N G M E M E : :

Looking back, did you write more fics than you thought you would this year, less than you thought, or about what you predicted?
I definitely wrote less than in previous years. However, I won NaNoWriMo and am very pleased with myself about that :D

Where did you publish/archive your stories?
LJ, ff.net

What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January 2010?
Actually, I wrote more than HP this year, so I'm pretty pleased about that!

What's your favorite story this year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you the happiest.
Accio Towel (Viktor & Katie) - This one is so simple, but it makes me laugh each time I read it.

Okay, NOW your most popular story.
Two by Two ( River, Simon, Jayne, Inara (pre-Rayne, pre-Mal/Inara, Kaylee/Simon, Wash/Zoë)) - I got a lot of feedback on this one. It definitely pulled a lot out of me, so I'm happy it did.

Story most under-appreciated by the universe?
White Wedding (Bill & Ginny) - I don't really even like it, so it doesn't matter much to me.

Story that could have been better?
Meaning in Silence (Draco & Pansy) - Sometimes I forget that characters' personalities don't necessarily fit my head canon and I write with the assumption that everyone feels the same way I do about htem. This one could have used more setting up to establish the feel for it.

Sexiest story?
Shoes (Viktor & Ginny) - Well, it's more too sexy that you just feel bad for Ginny. Accio Towel would be my most on purpose sexy.

Most fun story?
Clean Up (Charlie & Luna) - It's a little sexy, more than a little silly, and very fun. Plus it fits canon timelines well enough, which is good for me.

Story with single sweetest moment?
Dark and Shadows (Marcus & Pansy) - Snappy Pansy taking care of Slythern first years during the reign of terror at Hoghwarts - very bittersweet.

The story that made you cry?
Two by Two again. I'm not even sure how I managed to write this. I had to dig deep to get River's mad emotions.

Hardest story to write?
Three by the Sea (Albus Severus/James Sirius/Teddy Lupin) - I don't write slash and I've never written a threesome, but it was for a fest and the person didn't have anyone writing for them and I felt bad. It's quite tame, but it was tough for me!

Easiest story to write?
Dæges Ēage (Cedric & Luna) - Those characters just jump right out of me. I think I wrote that story in 5 minutes.

Most overdue story?
Almost Anything (Hannah, Oliver, Luna, & Ron) - A month between this story and the one before it. Fail.

Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?
I wrote my first slash, first threesomes, I wrote fandoms that I never had before, and I did NaNoWriMo!

Do you have any fanfic goals for the New Year?
Yes.
  1. Write at least once a month.
  2. Write 40 total stories.
  3. Finish my NaNoWriMo story - Break.
  4. Finish my HP epic.
  5. Write at least 10 new fandoms.
  6. Write at least 100 different characters.

: : S T A T I S T I C S : :

Complete Fic Count: 30
Fest Submissions: around 10
Complete Word Count:  not sure, but my grand total is 651,238 + 52,082 NaNoWriMo

Number of pairings: 30
Het fics: 25
Femmeslash fics: 0
Slash fics: 1
Gen fics: 3
Threesome fics: 2 (1 is slash)

Fics over 1000 words: not that many
Fics under 1000 words: most of them

Popular pairings:
I'm not a girl who only writes one pairing per fandom. I like to mix and match.
However, I did write two Draco/Pansy stories and two that featured Jayne/River.
