Favorite Fic: Don’t make me pick between my babies! Harry Potter and the Incubus Affair was the most fun to write, because I got to play with the tropes a lot. But I am also really pleased with Happily Ever After (Ginny/Luna Time traveling femslash) for similar reasons, and with Snakes and Ladders.
My very favourite is still unrevealed though so... tbc!
Hardest Fic: Maybe my @hd-erised fic. I still have two unfinished false starts sitting in my draft folder.
Otherwise, Familia Est... I actually still don’t like this fic. I was hard to the deadline and cut about 7k of other POV scenes to get something with an ENDING handed in on time. In retrospect I should have just dropped out or given in to the string of vignettes this thing wanted to be.
Also, the final chapter of She drags my world awake is still 500 words from finished and has been for months :-/
Do You Plan to Take Prompts in 2017? Yes. But as usual I’m not sure how many I’ll fill. I only took two this year (he Huntress' Heart and Late Nights). But I did do a LOT of fests which is a similar challenge.
What was the best thing about 2016? Probably falling hard, fast and head over heels for the Harry Potter fandom. I’ve made some great friends, stayed up late writing all the words with the HD Writers Room, and generally rediscovered and uncovered new ways of reading one of the books I grew up on. Also, I found out my spouse reads fanfic! Harry Potter fanfic specifically, not sure if it is nice or scary... tbc!
What was the worst thing about 2016? Apart from, you know, 2016? Writers block. I know it doesn’t look like it, but at the start of the year I really wasn’t feeling any of my usual outlets (which sucked even more because I needed them). I can’t believe I’ve left H&H fans hanging for 6 months! I love you guys, sorry for being the worst!
Any last thoughts for 2016? Nah. Bring on 2017. And my latest obsession - the DC verses and superluthor pairings! All the Lena Luthor/Kara Danvers and Lex Luthor/Clark Kent smut - coming soon, from a Kitty near you!
Goals for 2017
I signed up for @gywo - so write 200,000 words!
Write my novel (lesbian space pirates!)
Finish She drags my world awake so I can start publishing the fics that come after!
I’m Tagging: @sapphywatchesyousleep, @angelandfaith, @morethanonepage, @endellionaeternus, @fandom-madnessess, @callipygianspud, @therothwoman, @thechosenone305, @samanddeaninpanties, @sappypotter and anyone else who sees this and wants to play!
