And now, obligatory Year In Review Meme...

List of ficcage for 2012:

After Midnight (GH)
Taken (F)
Stronger Than Steel (HG)
Routine (M2D)
Crescendo (MBaV)
Possession/Too Close A Call (C)

(MBAV - My Babysitter’s A Vampire, GH - General Hospital, F - Forgotten, HG - Hemlock Grove, M2D - My Two Dads, C - Constantine)

Estimated Word Count for 2013: 28,678



Favorite fic:
out of this short list, I'd say Taken. What a surprise, more rarefandom.

Least favorite fic:
Probably the Constantine fic. It had been in progress for forever and it kind of got away from me in the end, so...

Hardest to write:
Everything's been kind of hard to write. It's been kind of a shitty year and writing didn't come easily very often.

Easiest to write:
GH (familiar even if it wasn't JaSpin), and HG (because I was so angry at the end of the season).

The story most underappreciated by the universe:
Both Taken and Routine (rarefandoms) didn't get much attention, but I mostly wrote those just to get the ideas out of my head.

Most fun story:
After Midnight? It was probably the fluffiest.

Sexiest story:
What even had sex in it this year? Hm. Ugh, there was a little bit in Taken? And a little bit in Possession?

Biggest surprise:
Stronger Than Steel got a lot of reviews, but I posted it right as the fandom kind of exploded, so...

Looking back, did you write more fic this year? or less? or about the same as you thought you would?
WAY WAY WAY less, though I did write a lot that didn't get finished (and therefore it is not on this list).

What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you never would have predicted a year ago?
A lot, I guess. I ventured into a few. Not that I didn't think I'd ever write them, they just didn't exist.

Greatest risk taken:
Mm, writing for weird fandoms?

What are your goals for this year?
Write more. Keep writing. Black-out another bingo card (or more). Try a few more fandoms on for size. Maybe do something original? And, as always, write more.



This year has kind of sucked. I lost my grandmom and Nash, Dad had some medical problems. We got a pupp just as Colby was finally calming down. The best bits were the Beach Trip and the NBC Party, for sure. So I'm kinda glad the year is over. Here's hoping 2014 is better.

I was a little disappointed in Zoo Job. Con Job was so nerdy and awesome, but Zoo Job is just kinda... blech. It's kinda boring, and jumps around a lot and the whole Leverage-y twist to everything is kind of lacking in comparison to normal episodes/Con Job. But then maybe that's not super surprising, because out of Keith R A DeCandido's three Supernatural books, I only like one of them? At least I think I like'd it - mostly they're older ones (Nevermore, Bone Key; Heart of the Dragon's a little more recent, but still...) Anyway, now I'm reading Supernatural: Fresh Meat, which is going pretty well, even if it's set in the no-Cas period of S7. After that it's on to the Hemlock Grove book. Which, oh, by the way.

Aside from being pleasantly slashy, it has an epically awesome werewolf transformation scene. Very few things gross me out, but the first time I saw it I was like, 'Ahhh, whaaaaaaat?'



This is a cut down version of it, but it does it some justice. It's only on Netflix (or, well, the internet). It's a little campy and a little strange, and kind of American Horror Story meets Teen Wolf, if it were on HBO or Showtime? And produced by Eli Roth. But who needs plot?...
