end of year writing round-up!

[schmerica]

Counting last year's Yuletide and DS Seekrit Santa stories, I have written 22 stories this year, two of which were co-written. This is a lot more than I would have guessed I'd written, since I've felt like I've had a really vague writer's block for much of the year.

15 due South:

Thirteen Facts About Ray Kowalski, Shake Trip and Fall, Ich Weiss Nicht, Arctic Cottages and Sandy Beaches, Boyhood Things, Cold Dirty Deep, I'm only gonna say this once, A Strange But True Story, Right Through Me, Merry Bells Keep Ringing, Where Is Your Sense of Indignation, Adventures in America's Heartland, and Just Let Me Try. Also, Letters, co-written with shayheyred, and Inked, co-written with lalejandra.

4 Wilby Wonderful:

Close, Hearts and Flowers, Let Me Go On, Tenderfoot

1 Little Women:

The Prickling of Snow

1 Twitch City:

When There's Nothing Left to Burn, You Have to Set Yourself On Fire

1 Men With Brooms:

Friday Nights

Also, I wrote a lot of random snippets that I posted on livejournal, but not on my website, which you can find here and here -- I'm actually surprised, on rereading, on how much I like almost all of them.


My favorite story this year (of my own): Merry Bells Keep Ringing. THEY ARE OLD AND SNARKY AND IN LOVE AND IT'S CHRISTMAS. I AM A BIG SQUISHY GIRL HELLO. Also, in the lj snippets that aren't really stories, I am totally in love with the one where Fraser tells Ray polar exploration stories.

My best story this year: When There's Nothing Left to Burn, You Have to Set Yourself On Fire. Dude, I poured my heart into that thing, and I am SO PLEASED by how it turned out. This is probably the only Twitch City fic I'll ever finish, but I'm okay with that.

Story most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion: Friday Nights had an audience of, like, me, BLG and Estrella, but I love it anyway and am actually really really proud of the Amy and Cutter (and Lennox, I suppose) voices in it.

Most fun story: A Strange But True Story. Bizarrely parental aliens = love.

Most sexy story: Uh, assuming the random gendefuck snippets don't count -- hmm. Probably Shake Trip and Fall, I think.

Story with single sexiest moment: Um, I'm seriously twisted, so although nobody else in the world would think so, I think the making out in the Vecchiocest is weirdly hot in a wrongwrongwrong way. Alternatively: DEPOT ORGY.

Hardest story to write: Ahahahahahahaha. I'm only gonna say this once. SO MUCH. I was practically CRYING trying to get that one out. LIKE PULLING TEETH.

There's also the "unintentionally telling" question, but I think that's the sort of thing that anyone at all who's not me would probably be better qualified to answer.

FYI -- The link for Friday Nights is broken here (though it's okay above).

And I liked it. :-)

Oh, dude, thanks so much for pointing that out -- it's fixed now. Also, I'm so glad you liked the story!

OMG I had forgotten how much I loved "Merry Bells Keep Ringing." Thank you for that, all over again.

Also -- happy birthday!

you, me, and Nan are our own MWB fandom and I am good with that! We are happy friends together!

I am in total agreement with you, for I am twisted too.

I'm only gonna say this once. SO MUCH. I was practically CRYING trying to get that one out. LIKE PULLING TEETH.

I make my friends do bad things! *wins*

(I read your recent Carrie fic and exploded in messy happines all over the place and totally didnt get to comment because: nervous breakdown over lack of time for xmas, but HEART.)

Thank you so much, on both counts!

MWB is seriously the perfect fandom for you and Nan. Mocking, drinking, cursing, and horrifically pretty people! WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED.

Yay for messy happiness explosions! That's almost as good as porn exploding everywhere.
