productive = me, right?

harriet_spy posted her year in fanfiction, and I like her questions and categories, so here goes mine (with a few of thete1's add-on questions.

Stories I wrote this year:

17 in due South: Ready Set Go; Don't Say the Word; Plate Tectonics; The Outline of a Circle; A Box of Pictures; Old News; Modes; The Contents of a Small Box Stored in a Large Trunk in a Yukon Cabin; Six Point Four Ounces; A is for Apple; Post; Your Hands, Clasped; How Many Ways; Fucking *Girls*; Eighteen is a Sickness; Discovery; and You & I Are ____.

4 in Firefly: Academies; Milk and Ash; Trial and Error; and Flesh and Blood.

My favorite story this year (of my own): Your Hands, Clasped. Seriously, I love this story to death. Much, much more than I usually feel about my stories once they're done. It actually gets reread by me fairly often, as well.

My best story this year: I can't choose between Academies and The Outline of a Circle. That's like making me choose between River and Fraser!*

Story most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion: Flesh and Blood. Not that I can't understand why.

Most fun story: Fucking *Girls*. I ... probably shouldn't find this as amusing as I still do.

Most sexy story: You & I Are ____, with nifra_idril. Although that is perhaps cheating, since a lot of the sexy bits are hers. But even with just my parts, I would probably choose this one. This story was pretty much built as an excuse to make Fraser and Ray have a lot (a *lot*) of sex, and have it all still have good emotional context, so it kind of just kept building from there.

Story with single sexiest moment: Old News. I seriously choose not to confide in you all which exact moment in there it *is*, for me. If you don't know my kinks already, you really don't need to.

Hardest story to write: Ready Set Go. Hi, my name is erica, and writing in new fandoms for the first time turns me into a horrible neurotic mess! Honorable mention to How Many Ways, just because of the fear of suckitude and cliche I had to get over in order to let myself actually write it and fix it up.

Te also had the "Most unintentionally *telling* story" question, but, honestly? I really have no idea which of mine, if any, that would be. I'm not sure I want to know.

*P.S. to the world: please do not ever make me choose between River and Fraser, because I would cry. Thank you.**

**P.P.S. If someone wanted to write Fraser/River, I would totally read it. After I got over my head exploding. Because, wow.

*beams*

And it was written for MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! And I know I shouldn't feel like I made any contribution to it, but I DOOOOOOOOOOO!!

*hugs her bday story close*

*giggles* Dude, I totally get that. It's like when all the secret santa stories come out on Saturday, and you feel almost just as good when the story *for* you gets recced as when the one you wrote does.

Nifty, nifty meme! I shall have to play when I get a few minutes!

But I love all your stories. *g*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Awww. *snugs sweetie-lynn*

[qe2.livejournal.com]

Yay! Meme! Pearl_O fic!

(NB: a few of these links seem not to work - they incorporate extra info, like the URL of your LJ or mine. I am not technologically on top of stuff enough to be able to explain this, but figured I'd mention it...)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Eep, thank you, honey -- that was me being dumb and forgetting the important "http://" part of the link; they should all be fixed now.

[qe2.livejournal.com]

"Dumb". So not a word I associate with you, darlin'.

Fixed links are good links.

"Dumb". So not a word I associate with you, darlin'.

HA. Explain why I am still at zero words for my yuletide story twenty-six hours before deadline, then.

[qe2.livejournal.com]

That's not dumb. Procrastinatory, maybe, but not dumb.

::has faith from afar::

Aw. I can write you River/Fraser!

*smiles brightly*

...I don't need to, like, know anything about Fraser, right?

*ducks*


Also, *loves on your stuff*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Well. *skeptical* Maybe you should stick with the River pairings for me where you know both characters.

Hah-- you're right!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

River and Fraser happen to be the two characters for me that you really can pair with, like, anybody and get me excited. So both of them together? Brain kablooey.

[china_shop]

Yay, this led me off to re-read "Your hands, clasped". Mmmmm, so very lovely. It's like a poem.

I really want to re-read You & I Are ____ , too, but not till I've recovered from EotR. :)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yay, thank you!

Also, heh. You and I Are ____ *is* angsty, but it's a lot more easily shaken off than EotR, you know -- nobody writes that feeling of *reality*, of this is the way it is like Kat.

You know I would write you River/Fraser if I could just bridge those silly little centuries.

*ponders*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*bounces* Centuries, schmenturies!
