anysinDoing my fic yearly review meme again! Behind the cut.
Looking back, did you write more fics than you thought you would this year, less than you thought, or about what you predicted?
Definitely less.
Where did you publish/archive your stories?
AO3, Twitter, Tumblr.
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January 2024?
Never thought I'd dare to tackle some of the fandoms I did. That's about it though.
What's your own favorite story of the year?
The Path Forward Leads To The Deeps, my Ed/Izzyt timeloop fic.
Did you take any writing risks this year?
Not really, aside from trying new fandoms.
My best story of this year
The False Bride, an Ed/Izzy fic.
Okay, NOW your most popular story
Discounting old WIPs, The Equal Exchange, a Billford fic.
Most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion
Two Poisons, my Hazbin Hotel/TMA crossover. I was pretty pleased with the bleak weirdness of it.
Story that could have been better
You Have To Hide Your Love, my Charlie/Lucifer fic for Hazbin Hotel. It was like 85% there when it should have been 100%, you know?
Most fun story
Salvation in Blood, the Jesus/Judas woundfucking fic.
Sexiest story
Back Into Warm World, my Peter/Jon/Martin.
Story with single sweetest moment
An End To Loneliness, the TMP/TMA fic with Jon/Gerry.
"Holy crap, that's wrong, even for you" story
Salvation in Blood probably, heh.
Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters
None really.
Hardest story to write
House Warming Gift, since it was a return to a fandom I hadn't done in a while with a scenario I was unsure about. I think I did my best with it though.
Easiest story to write
On Fertile Ground, in which Bill gets bred by Ford.
Most overdue story?
If it counts, the updates to Intruder Management.
Biggest surprise
My Interview with the Vampire fics and the Gundam Wing fic. Never thought I would write for either!
Favorite Opening Line(s)
A sane person would have fled, but Daniel goes to Armand.
from "You've Played Your Game"
Favorite Closing Line(s)
He has just enough dignity left to cover himself up again before returning to the tree, picking the rope up from the ground as he goes. This time, no part of him hesitates.
from "Salvation in Blood"
Top Scenes from Anywhere You Would Choose to Have Illustrated¨
- Judas fucking Jesus's handhole in "Salvation in Blood"
- Bill and Ford doing xeno frottage in "The Equal Exchange"
- Ed carrying Izzy from the underworld in "The Path Forward Leads To The Deeps"
Most revealing story
None.
A story I want remembered
Salvation in Blood I guess.
Story I haven't yet written, but intend to
A Jon/Elias Dollhouse AU.
Fic-writing goals for 2025
Keep writing.
