Overall Impression:
Hmm, more variety than I thought, actually. A smattering of epics, but a nice number of one-shots too.
My favourite story this year:
That would have to be No World Order. It just came together really well, and considering how long it is it really didn't take long! That's what I like, epics that don't muck about and be all primadonna on me. ;)
My best story this year:
As in best-written, I suspect it's either Thunder or Lightning. Which were written as a pair, and are supposed to be read together. Although I guess it would be Dark Ride for emotional content. Not too sure.
Story most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion:
Gardens Of The Sinner, hands down. Maybe it's too complicated, maybe it just isn't interesting enough - but I really want to work on it some more, because I think it's going to be the best Yoz story yet.
Most beloved by readers:
Heh, that would be Journeyman! Everyone seems to be in love with Pan - no bad thing. And anything with Nicko in it tends to be popular too!
Most fun story:
That comes down to Artistic Licence or Hair. Both of them were great fun to write, as well as still making me smile when I re-read them!
Most sexy story:
Hmm. Difficult, that. Thunder, I suspect. certainly it was the one that made my head go boom with the mental images it created....
Story with the single sexiest moment:
For me that would be No World Order, the chapter where Yoz and Dirk are making love in the Rosicrucian House; the morning scene when he's watching her tattoos. That gives me goosebumps, that one.
"Holy crap, that's wrong, even for you" story:
You know, that's a hard question. I don't think I've done one of those this year - although after last year's goat sex moment I don't think there's much of anything that I won't do!
Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters:
Thunder, because of how savage I wrote Markus. I'd always written him as this gentle creature, although I always try and get across how clever he is, and the potential of that big, beautiful man.
Hardest story to write:
Emotionally, Dark Ride. It deals with themes and emotions even I am not always willing to share, or to deal with. Just from a writing point of view, it would probably be Spansex. Although why that one was so like pulling teeth, I have no idea!
Easiest story to write:
Dark Ride just flowed, once I'd decided to actually do it. It just sort of happened....
Biggest Disappointment:
That NWO and Gardens haven't been better received.
Biggest surprise:
The excitement when I started posting Journeyman again! That was very nice indeed, but a huge surprise. I thought everyone would have forgotten about it.
Most Unintentionally Telling Story:
*Ahem* That would be Old Dogs. It was so a self-insertion fic, although I did try to not make it quite so bloody obvious. I think it says more about how I would like to see myself than it does anything else....
Final thoughts:
That's 22 stories, if you include the WIP, which is a hell of a lot more than I thought I'd produced. So it's not been a bad year writing-wise, although I would like to write more gen and het next year. And branch out with more of the horror-type themes, and perhaps even some more real type of stories. As in, believable tales of the road - perhaps! But overall, considering that several times this year I've thought I would never write again, it's not a bad haul!
What do you think?
And now I should really finish packing, get a shower, call my sister... *erk*
