That was the year that was...

I know there's a meme summing up the year in fandom going around, but there's scarcely any point my answering it because every answer would just involve an incoherent mish-mash of squee over Chris, Vin and The Magnificent Seven, with a little side helping of Arthur/Eames from InceptionI think when I look back at this year it will definitely be

I think this is the year I rediscovered how much I adore Chris/Vin. You know I blame you for that, right? You and your lovely fics and your boundless enthusiasm remind me why I believe that pairing and ignite my passion all over again. You (and your stories) have been a gift to me. Thanks for that. {hugs}

[denorios]

Aww, bless you. You and farad are a major part of the reason I've had such fun! I've no doubt I wouldn't have stayed and enjoyed it as much if it wasn't for such wonderful friends!

[slavelabour]

The fandom has brought me some lovely, wonderful, brilliant friends. Some of them even write. And some of them are damn good at it! ;)

[farad]

True, dat. Well said!

[elfinessy]

You're so loyal! :-)

[denorios]

It's most unlike me! I really am usually such a fandom whore.

[elfinessy]

I really envy you - I would love to find a fandom I can settle in for a time :-)

Oh my goodness, are you me? My fannish love of the year was a YA fantasy book with teen angst and complicated family relationships, not slashy cowboys, but other than that this is basically me. I mean, yeah I had other fandoms throughout the year, but I finally found something that could sustain my interest and has gotten me writing a whole lot more again (although uh, I was quite proud of my THREE WHOLE FICS in the one fandom. You, um, put me to shame a little, hahahahaha). It's so excellent, I'm loving all the fannish love. I know what you mean when you say you hope this one just runs and runs - I'm a little worried that once the last book of this trilogy comes out and wraps everything up, my love will just fade off, but I'm hoping I can sustain it for ever and ever. Or like, a while XD.

Also yes, I really will get around to M7 fandom soon! Really I will! I meant to do it this month actually, but then Sherlock came along and ate my brains. There were meant to be many new fandoms this month, and instead there was only Sherlock. And

[denorios]

Oh yes, you were going to try M7, weren't you? *bounces* I do hope you like it!

If it makes you feel any better, 23 fics in six months is unlikely to be equalled ever. Before then I'd written no more than, I don't know, ten fics in three different fandoms. That's ever. And then my cowboys came along...

*beams*

[farad]

*Excellent*!! I knew it had been a great year for me, and now I know why!!

[denorios]

Hee, you know you're partly to blame for a lot of these fics, right? Just saying...

[farad]

LOL - well, I do like to give myself gifts when I can . . . *g*

[denorios]

Spam away! I love talking to people about our show, nothing better. And I'm so glad you liked 'Fear No Fate' - it's my favourite of all the fics I've written, although I'm getting quite partial to my new WW1 AU too.

*waves* Mag7 slashdom was founded on C/V so there must be over a thousand stories, easy. There are a few larger archives, Lady Angel's M7 Library and Black Raptor which is the original (over 5,000 stories but impossible to search, sorry, and their separate adult fic archive needs a password to unlock - the link is halfway down the page on the right). Some old school Mag7 fen are starting to put their stellar fic on AO3 so I would suggest checking there, too. Have fun!
