The New Year's writing meme

Shamelessly gacked from

destina

Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you'd predicted?

I never predict. I write what the bunnies tell me to.
But I did write a fair bit. Eight zine stories, three poems, several round robin chapters, including one for the Star Wars Erotica Forum (het and lez, ewwww), the VaderxLeia piece, and two Han/Luke pieces, including the one I'll post tonight.

What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January 2002?

Spock/McCoy. Lexi Dio/Padme. Het!Obi. (Straight Jedi. What a Concept!)

What's your favorite story of the year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you happiest.

I am happiest with "Illugi's Saga" because of the background work that went into it. It flows so well.

Did you take any writing risks this year? (See above for unexpected pairings, etc.) What did you learn from them?

I wrote a scholarly paper. that was a huge risk because I've been out of school for 11 years.

I also wrote a semi-con vampire story in an egalitarian fandom (vampires are all about power), as well as the "talk dirty to me" piece. I learned that i can push the boundaries, as long as i listen to the characters.

Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the New Year?

Write more. Write faster.
