fic year in review

I wrote forty eight fics in twenty fandoms, and I was definitely, drastically less prolific than in 2006. And also less adventurous, I feel.

Favourite Fic over all:
This is hard. I've realised just in the last couple of days that I've become very unenthused by my writing of late, and I think it shows, both in the reduced number of things that I've written and the passion with which I've written them. I think it's pretty clear, however, that my love of The Pretender is still running strong, and with that and mine my favourite fic over all is probably All the Flickering Lights, because I love the idea of Miss Parker with wings, struggling with who she is becoming and who she is, and I love the image of Jarod grooming her wings, and the secret of this fic is that one day, I suspect that Lyle too will grow wings. Because hello, twins. And maybe I'll write that fic too, one day.


Assorted Favourites:
A Sweet Display of Nothingess (Of Everything) (Of Nevermind). Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson, playing tricks on one another. This story is my ode to old friendships.
Not the Wrong Girl, a story of how Chloe comes to Lex's side.
Strangest Quiet on the Street, Parker chasing Jarod across South Africa.
Lights Turned Way Down Low, Rogue joining the Brotherhood (with awesome from Pyro).
This City, The Ruins in Its Heart. Alia, trying to save the universe and break it at the same time.
Dog-Gone Days, because Phryne Fisher is an absolute delight.


Most Under-Appreciated:
I am predicting Dog-Gone Days, because very few people have read the Phryne Fisher books.


Most Fun:
Timestamps for A Refrain of the Things Behind Us, because the idea of Kara and Lee and Roslin on Arrakis is just too much, too awesome, and the idea that the thing that drives Laura is the possibility of restoring Billy with the Tleilaxu technology is just ! !!
