[meme] fic year in review
Jan. 1st, 2007 09:46 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
bantha_fodderI wrote fifty three stories in twenty two fandoms - that's thirteen less stories than 2005, but in more fandoms.
Favourite Fic over all:
Ooh, this was a hard decision, but probably The Wreck Keeps Running, a Pretender/BSG crossover.
Assorted Favourites:
Blood Like Holy Wine (constant in the darkness) - the beauty of infidelicious pilots.
Silence in the Revelation - a Pretender/Dune crossover. Parker and Lyle on Arrakis.
All Messed Up (in a trusted wreck) - PotC, Anamaria and Norrington between CotBP and DMC. I tried so hard to make it conceivable that they knew each other, that they worked together, and I was really pleased with how this worked.
An Upside-Down Vision. Edmund, the Just.
Slowly Creeping In. Kitty Pryde, after X3.
One I'm Really Pleased With:
In Which There Is a Movie, and Friends, because it was Anna/Will written in the style of CS Lewis, and I think I just about managed it, too. I would quote my favourite line, but it is too long, so I shall quote my second favourite instead: At rehearsals, and in costume fittings, and in front of the camera and in the taxi home at night (especially in the taxi home at night, for the darkness masks many sins, which is why you should always be careful at night, and never walk alone in the dark), William wished to push away the soft fabrics at Anna's shoulder.
Most Under-Appreciated:
New Bonhomie. This was a Smallville fic written for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
tab_a_slot_b, the Smallville het challenge, and not even the person who issued the prompt commented on this fic, which, ARGH.
Most Fun:
The Pilot Bride. Crackfic based on The Princess Bride.
BSG:
For a fandom I have loved and lost, I still managed to write ten stories. Nowhere near the thirty stories I wrote in 2005, but not bad considering it broke my heart. And I'm so ridiculously happy with Blood Like Holy Wine, and I'm obsessed, now, with BSG crossovers, so at least I know my love is still there.
Taking Cue (past holds on). Kara and Caprica!Boomer for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
florahart in the Female Gen Ficathon. Because they used to be friends.
The Pilot Bride. Crackfic based on The Princess Bride.
Blood Like Holy Wine (constant in the darkness). This was my infidelicious pilots opus. I worked on this for so long, and was so worried that someone else would post the slow deterioration of Kara and Lee before I could finish it.

I love it so much when I can write a story for a fandom where no one else writes. Just a lovely little one off that I'm pleased with (there is one other Cutting Edge fic that I know of).
The Ugliness You See (to the left, the fallout). Whoever decided that Kate and Doug won the gold was FULL OF SHIT. Because they didn't.
DCU:

Letters Full of Excuses. Selina Kyle visits Smallville. Crossover with Smallville.

Get There Somehow (guide the way). Jessica is the Holy Mother, and she knows what is best.

I am going to try to experiment more with styles. I only wrote in three or four different styles this year, and only one of those could be considered experimental. I want to stretch myself a little more.
