01. Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d predicted?
Way way way WAAAAY more! Holy cow. I wrote a 20k Sterek Big Bang, finished Little Red Prince with nearly 50k words, started its sequel Big Bad Alpha; started another Sterek fic, and now I've started a LOTR fanfic and a Kuroko no Basuke fanfic. This has been THE year for fanfic apparently!
02. What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January?
Hm...well. I don't think I ever thought I would write a LOTR one. But I guess the Hobbit and latent LOTR feelings burst through finally.
03. What’s your own favorite story of the year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you happiest?
I am going to have to say my big bang. It isn't online yet--in fact it won't be posted until 2014--but I still loved it. I loved the idea and the characterization and the world building! UGH I LOVE world building!!
04. Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?
Yes! Wow! Taking on the big bang amount of words (minimum of 20k) and not the mini bang (10k-20k words) was definitely a risk! There were a few times that I didn't think it was going to make it. But I persevered and stuck through to the end!!
05. Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the New Year?
Um....my writing always just sort of happens? I hope that I'll be able to make Big Bad Alpha as good as Little Red Prince was and that readers will like all of the works I post.
06. From my past year of writing, what was…
Story Most Underappreciated By The Universe:
Umm....most fun. Uhhhh........Maybe Suffocated
Most Disappointing:
Ugh...um. I don't know? Honestly? I don't usually feel disappointment towards my works. I'm always proud of them even if they do need a little polishing.
Most Sexy:
Judas. Easily. This fic is gonna be hella sexy.
Hardest To Write:
Phew. Judas again! This fic is kicking my butt! But probably also my Big Bang. Only because I kept losing my muse during the process.
Most Unintentionally Telling:
Uh. What? Judas probably. Oh Judas, you crazy fic you.

He remembered those weeks in Derek’s little stone cottage before they traveled to Animas. Erica’s bright and sarcastic smile, Boyd’s surprisingly gentle personality, and Isaac bristling like a cat around a dog. Even in that short amount of time he had felt like they had become a second family to him. -Big Bad Alpha, Second Moon
“Well, I’ve been around. One could say I’m an old soul,” he kept himself from sniggering at his own cleverness. -Judas, Aeterna Perfide
