2012 writing overview meme.

[ladydrace]

Grabbed from myself back in 2008...

Only counting things I've actually posted as "complete" but not necessarily betaed or anything. Tumblr in particular has gotten a lot of little random fics thrown at it which I felt too lazy to format and post properly to LJ. I hope to get around to it next year. I'm also not counting what might well be around 50k of RP-ing through the year. The words have truly flowed from me this year, as harsh as it's felt.

Stats:

Total Word Count for 2012:
99.199!! OMFG! I'm pretty sure that's a record for me!

My longest finished story in 2012:
Sometimes they Run at 30.234 words.

My favorite story this year (of my own):
Without a doubt it has to be Sometimes They Run, because it ate my brain for so long and I love it a lot. The lukewarm response to it was really kind of heartbreaking.

My best story this year:
I don't know about best, but going by the amount of kudos on AO3, High Low wins by miles and miles...

Story most tragically underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion:
Sometimes They Run. See above.

Most fun story:
There are several which gave me the giggles to write, but if I have to pick one I think I'll go with the Garak/Bashir coffee shop AU, just for the novelty of it. I hope I can add more to it at some point in the future.

Most sexy story:
All the stuff for dreadelion. Fuelled by smutty fan art my fics turn absolutely scorching. Guh.

Story with single sexiest moment:
Erm... might be the fisting fic because.. well... fisting.

Most unintentionally *telling* story:
Melt In My Arms was a blatant outlet for my own serious need for hugs.

"Holy crap, that's wrong, even for you" story:
I actually wrote quite a few things that fit this subject, but never posted any of them, because frankly they kinda freaked me out. So let's not go there.

Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters:
Might have been That's How It Is. My first Merlin fic in a long while, and my view of the boys has apparently shifted a little bit.

Hardest story to write:
Sometimes They Run. But only really hard because it seemed to never reach an end, and it began to feel intimidating after a while. Writing has been easy in general this year.

Worst story:
I'm not proud of Closet Case. But it was written in a hurry AND it was my first Due South fic ever. Bad combination of factors right there.

Easiest story to write:
All the dreadelion stuff, really. Clearly visual references make a hell of a difference for me.

Story I’d like to revise:
Nothing particularly stands out, but I plan on cleaning up most of the tumblr stuff and get it posted to DW and AO3 sometime in 2013.

Story I didn’t write but will at some point, I swear:
One day... one glorious day... I will write an actual Team Free Love fic. Oh yes. One day.
