End of Year Fic meme
I got the questions and idea from mmmchelle.
Well, considering that in the years 2005 and 2006 I only managed 2 fics each year, 2007 was a banner year for my writing. And we can put the blame credit right on Supernatural. Can you believe when I first saw screencaps of Sam and Dean I thought they were kinda ugly?
March
Bat and Snake (Bruce Wayne/Severus Snape)
Don't Pee on my Leg and Tell me It's Raining (crack fic written for Razor)
May
Lashes (Supernatural, femmslash)
Finders Keepers (SPN/Temeraire xover, gen)
June
Destination Anywhere (SPN/Dogma, gen)
Whiskey and Leather (Jack O'Neill/John Winchester, xover, slash)
July
Little Jedi Lost (SPN/Star Wars, gen)
There is no try (SPN/SW, wincest)
August
The Devil Went Down to the Arcade (SPN, gen)
Start Your Engines (Dean W./Sam Carter, het)
Follow the Black Impala! (SPN/RPF, gen, crack)
September
Darkness On the Edge of Town (SPN, slash)
October
What Dreams May Cum (SPN, wincest)
Gone for Soldiers (SPN, wincest)
November
What to Expect When Your Impala's Expecting (SPN, gen, crack)
Story I'm Proudest Of: Going to have to say "Darkness On the Edge of Town." To date this is the single longest thing I've written so far. I'm proud of the original characters I created for the fic. Also, it was my first experience in pacing and planning a story of this length. It made me feel like I can eventually achieve my goal of writing a novel. Plus, I'm just darn happy with the way it turned out. I loved Sam's journey, and I loved meeting Tony and turning him into Dean. It's the one fic of mine I'd like to see bound as a book to keep on my bookshelf and hug:)
Story most under-appreciated by the universe: I think "Bat and Snake". I was going to say "Gone for Soldiers" but that ficlet suffers from the lack of backstory, since it's just a scene from a much longer story, really. But I really loved writing "Bat and Snake" and I thought I did a good job of meshing the two universes. However, there's not a single place I could post it. I mean really, a Batman/Harry Potter Crossover? WTF? ;)
Story I wrote that I never thought I'd write: I said that about SO many stories this year. "Follow the Black Impala" started as a huge joke. And then lapillus bunnied me with the idea for "What to Expect When your Impala's Expecting." And I surely never thought I'd write something like "Darkness on the Edge of Town." I think every Supernatural fic started out like "omg, I can't believe I'm writing this!."
Most fun stories to write: "What to Expect When your Impala's Expecting" was by far the most fun to write. It was my happy place when I was in a lot of pain due to my back. Even when I couldn't type, I could daydream about the upcoming scenes and keep my mind off of other things. I think second was "Follow the Black Impala." And then "Darkness." Mostly because I couldn't believe how well that fic came out.
Special Award: I'll give this one to the Jedi fics. They were very hard to write, actually. I can't say they were fun in the same way the Impala fics were. I started "Little Jedi Lost" when I had bronchitus, and it ended up needing to be almost completely rewritten. And "There is No Try" was my first foray into Wincest. For a long time I thought "nah, I don't think I'm going to be able to write wincest...oh crap, there's a bunny..."
Story in progress that will SOMEDAY see the light of day: I have tons of WIPs. The one I'm actively working on right now is an RPS AU which may get turned into original fic depending on how well it goes. And I do want to write that "Four Ways Sam doesn't use to save Dean" fic before the end of Season 3, so I may pound that out over break, just to get it out there.
I'm just so happy to be writing again, guys. I feel like me again. I want to thank all of you for supporting me, whether it was to beta a fic, encourage a bunny or leave feedback at some point. Even if you just read and enjoyed a fic and didn't say a word. Thank you for just being out there.
