And *hugs* tomelusinahp and lokifan for you-know-what :).
Plus, the traditional
End of the Year Fic Meme:
This year's output is embarrassingly slight – six fics and a ficlet, and of the six, only one is over 10 000 words. Um… that's my laziest year ever. Five gen, two slash, and split nicely between Alex Rider and Harry Potter fandoms, which seems to have become a pattern :).
Favorite story this year: A Harsh Cord - it's the most substantial, and it kind of worked out the way it was supposed to, especially the way the characters turned out.
Most underappreciated by the universe: Paws among Snakes - well, not *that* underappreciated (I'm not complaining!), but there seems to be a pattern of Lucius/Minerva being unpopular even in genfic ;).
Most fun story: Assassin's Creed. I don't as a rule even like crossovers, but that one was surprisingly entertaining to write. Harry and Alex have a fun dynamic!
Sexiest story: Although it's way less explicit than A Harsh Cord and bows out before actual sex, probably Ghosts of the Past. This year was more gen than anything else, and the Harry/Lucius dynamics strike me as somewhat hot, while the other one is… just creepy and emotional, from my angle :).
"Holy crap, that's wrong even for you": Definitely A Harsh Cord. Ok, I don't believe in wrong, but it played with kinks I'm usually pretty uncomfortable with, so having them pop up here was a tad surprising.
Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: Nightscape - which I blame onannephoenix's close reading of my favourite Alex Rider pairing, and really made me look at character dynamics from a different angle.
Hardest story to write: A Dangerous Man. Not the writing so much (gen is never that hard to write), but the structure of it left me completely floundering for a long time. Thank the gods for betas!
Biggest disappointment: Not that bad, but probably the ficlet, After the Diary, because it's more of a style exercise than a real story. But I like doing those occasionally.
Biggest surprise: : Nightscape - me writing zombie-fic is one *hell* of a surprise ;).
Story I want remembered: A Harsh Cord again. It's definitely the best of the lot.
And now yours truly is off home because she's in charge of Silvester dinner :).
