2007 Fics in Review Meme

General output: five or so ficlets and eleven fics, only two of those really long. Still more than I'd thought I'd written. Plus, of course, my Smutmas piece, but that doesn't count yet :).

Favorite story this year: Spinning Off Course - I'm equally in love with the AU plot, the pairings and the sex :). And it let me write Harry/Sirius which I'd always wanted.
Best story this year: Truck-Driving with the Dead - ok, I'm bad at evaluating this, but it seemed popular and I got a huge, unexpected compliment from somebody whose opinion really matters, so...
Most underappreciated by the universe: Tis Pity He's a Whore, although that's natural with Cantarella being a tiny fandom, and I was perfectly happy that the recipient liked it.
Most fun story: Gods of Hellfire - the crack premise amused me greatly, and well, it allowed me to imply so many all-wrong pairings :). My imagination sure had fun with it.
Sexiest story: Trust - pretty close to being my favourite, too. Strangely, fics that let me explore and exorcise a former squick tend to make me very happy :).
"Holy crap, that's wrong even for you": The Outer Edge of Hell - cringed like mad while writing this. Probably among my best non-con plots...
Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: Eighteen in Wartime - it showed me non-AU!Sirius' attraction and Ron's sexual adventurousness (which the then got to display in Trust) all at once.
Hardest story to write: Sekrit Fic aside (which truly was hell), Thestrals at Dawn - it somehow took three years to come to life.
Biggest disappointment: Fishing Expedition - it never had the, well, *spark* I wanted it to have, damn!
Biggest surprise: Spider Dreams... I wrote het sex!!! It doesn't get more surprising than that.
Story I want remembered: All of them ;). No, kidding aside, I don't think any is remotely among my best, but I'm torn between Truck-Driving and Spinning...

Hugs to my merry_smutmas writer for their delicious gift:

The Haunting of Grimmauld Place [Ron/Sirius, NC-17]
Summary: Ron watches Sirius, and Sirius has noticed.

Drunken, seductive Sirius meets restless, observant Ron who so badly wants someone to treat him like an adult. He gets his wish. He's so lucky. Hell, I'm so lucky! :)
