kennahijjaThis year's output... measly! 10 fics, not even all that long, and one as-yet unnamed for sekricy reasons... Well, it was a very busy year...
Favorite (and best, rolled into one) story this year: Time Parts the Hearts of Men... it took me a while to fall in love with it, but then Dumbledore always manages to creep up on me and make me fall in love. Grindelwald didn't even have to try. I still like the setup quite a lot.
Most underappreciated by the universe: Prometheus, Bound... granted, Ron/the Lestranges has been a long-time wish-fulfillment for me, and it was pretty obvious from how nobody wanted to pick that as a challenge in the half a dozen or so exchange requests that nobody was too hot on reading it either. But it was fun to write! *pokes out tongue at the world*
Most fun story: I don't think it was much fun to write, but I still get a little bit of yay out of writing Ron-Fenrir werewolf-sex/bestiality of sorts in World Like Fallen Apples...
Sexiest story: Nettle Stings... I've never quite figured out why Ron/Lucius brings out my inner sap, but it does, big time!
"Holy crap, that's wrong even for you": Poison Dart. I didn't even think I had an incest muse, but the Malfoys proved me wrong big time. I loved making the situation as ambiguous as I could. Lucius/Scorpius ftw! ;)
Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: Little Broken Hearts - I was panicky about finding a Scorpius-voice, especially after reading so much brilliant AS/S fic, but it came to me almost naturally (and boy, did I catch myself at pouring personal character traits into the poor boy...)
Hardest story to write: Midnight Smoke... it only took three years to come to life. And *then* I discovered there was a fandom for it afterwards ;). But all festfic writing was like pulling teeth this year. No more!
Biggest disappointment: It's not that much of a disappointment, but I have the hardest time distinguishing between The Practice of Walking in Darkness and World Like Fallen Apples in my head... probably a surefire sign that I need to write different plots!
Biggest surprise: Teddy Lupin and the Resurrection Stone - no idea where *that* came from, and it didn't even naturally match the giftee's preferences... But it was a sign of how badly I wanted to write next gen fic, and how much Fenrir had taken over my mind earlier in the year...
Story I want remembered: I'm torn between Time Parts the Hearts of Men and Little Broken Hearts ... basically because they're both very different in pairings and plots from the other things I've written.

And sap...slight sap, because it was hawt...oh yes was it hawt, but yes the little moments of Ron/Lucius brings a tingle to my heart everytime and I'm glad that you love them enough to write them when you can.
I'd say you had a productive year. Can't wait to see what you have in store for 2009...hopefully one Ron/Lucius left in ya!
Hope you have a prosperous New Year, be it in life or monetary...cause we all need some money. ;p
