Instead of actually writing...

Writing Meme 2006



Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you'd predicted?: I'm actually surprised at the amount of J/S I wrote--I thought it was less! I'm most surprised by the amount of panfandom writing I did. ;)

What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January 2005?: OMG Oz? Beecher/Keller? What/who the fuck are they?! :P

What's your favorite story of the year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you happiest?: Probably Let Go, simply because the comments still, after six months, make me tear up. I've heard so many stories about how much J/J means to people, and that never ceases to amaze me, or put a smile on my face. Who would've thought angsty teenage boy!love could bring people together?

Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?: I really sweated the 2nd person POV in Five Words Chris Keller Never Said, but now I don't think I could've written it any other way.

Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the New Year?: Finish the Small Favors 'verse!! *looks pointedly at rhymephile* And to also get back to Second Shot, my NaNo novel. And write some BSG fic for shleemeri.

From my past year of writing, what was...

My Favorite Story: I love A Little Destruction so very much, because I worked my ass off on that fic, and it was mostly responsible for introducing to me to a fandom I love dearly. Close seconds are Five Words Chris Keller Never Said and It's Always Fall in New England. Oh, and Momentary Fits of Insanity, because I looooooove writing Eddie Drake. Like, a lot. ;D

My Best Story: Five Words Chris Keller Never Said, and maybe Equations

Story Most Underappreciated by the Universe: I kind of wish The Absolute True Story of Sawyer's Adventures in Oz had gotten more of a cross-fandom response, but that's just me being a fandom whore, LOL.

Most fun: Momentary Fits of Insanity (again, Eddie is fun!writing love) and Things Your Home Depot Warranty Does Not Cover--God, how I love writing Foxshy. Also, Most Fun and Cathartic fic goes to Jack and Ennis's Final Repose; I need more excuses to write George Clooney, dammit.

Most disappointing: Coping out on my NaNo. And I'm always hard on myself with the Jack/James 'verse...I go back and find little things that should be fixed, heh.

Most sexy: I think all my J/J fics are sexy. And I love Easy, because it's lockdown!porn, and that's sexy in and of itself, LOL.

Story With a Single Sexy Moment: Let Go, where Jack whispers, "Let me fuck you," to James. :D

Hardest to Write: Let Go. No story/fic has ever emotionally wrecked me like that before. I have even more respect for Annie Proulx.

Most Unintentionally Telling: Well, shleemeri said that Everything is Alright was Aleesha!meta, i.e. the whole thing is basically my reasons for why I love Jack and Toby. I didn't even realize it until after she said that, but yeah, it totally is. I do so love my intensely broken, emo rich boys (the bad boys who love them).


I use this mood theme icon way too much. :-/

Let's hear it for angsty teenage boy!love!! *sighs* Man, I know that one was rough to write. *blows out a breath* Here's to that shared experience. It was a helluva ride!

My hat's off to you for conquering so many fandoms, and so damn well. You're making the rest of us look bad! LOL. Or just lazy.

And I love your Oz crossover fic! Make that fics. Those characters are too damn good to keep apart.

Here's to another great year with more great foxxcub fic. *mwah*

I hope I don't have to write anything that emotionally draining again for a long, long time. But I don't regret the way it ended at all. :)

*loves you*
