Total number of fics: 14, with a 15th that is 12k but still not finished

Total wordcount: ~113,000 counting the one in progress

Total number of fandoms: Only three this year: Bandom, Teen Wolf, and One Direction

My favorite story of mine this year: I think it's Let the Darkness Lead you Home That is definitely the one I am most proud of in terms of what I did with it and what it did for my writing.

My best story: Let the Darkness Lead you Home.

Story most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion: I definitely wouldn't complain about any story being underappreciated, but I always wish there were more love for femslash in general, so maybe It's About This. Mostly, though, because it ended up being underappreciated by me in that I never wrote the longer story around it that I hoped to.

Most fun story: I was going to say We're All Okay, but then I realized I posted that on December 30th, so I wrote it last year. So instead, it's my other HS AU, Nothing Comes as Easy as You. I may have a massive crush on HS Frankie.

Most sexy story: I suppose that depends on what in particular you find sexy. Almost everything I write is NC17 and meant to be sexy. I definitely like It's About This, and Everyone's a Junkie, and the one where Gerard makes teenage Frank come three times in a row, Nothing Comes as Easy as You.

"Holy crap, that's wrong, even for you" story: Given my meness, I don't think there's anything that counts as wrong. This year was by leaps and bounds tamer than any other since I arrived in fandom six years ago. I did write some incest with figging and ~accidental sex, which maybe counts?

Story with single sexiest moment: Maybe Frank remembering back when Gerard used to secretly rub one out under Frank's shirt back in the van days, in Quiet Time

Story with single sweetest moment: I really really love when Gerard brings Frank waffles in the shower after his flight back from New Jersey in This Heart's on Fire.

Most unintentionally *telling* story: I write sweetly kinky porn. I'm not sure any of it is unintentionally telling.

Fic that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: Let the Darkness Lead you Home was a challenge to write because I had to look at AU versions of everyone and find the fanon them in there. I also changed my views on Jackson and on Scott in Snapping at your Heels I think. In that I felt like I got to know them better.

Biggest disappointment: I didn't finish my Derek/Stiles fic in time to post before the end of the year. And I have found it harder to write in general. My goal for this year was to write more femslash. I finished one story. I've written a couple of paragraphs on a few more stories, but I don't know that they will come to anything.

Biggest surprise: That One Direction happened quite so abruptly to my face. But given that I am me, and it's a fandom comprised of teenaged boys who quite literally cannot stop touching each other, this should not actually be a surprise at all.

Hardest story to write: this damn in-progress Teen Wolf story. I think Stiles is funny, and I'm enjoying him, but idk. I think I just don't really see how he and Derek go in a story that is pretty much canon compliant. I should have gone with some kind of AU.

Easiest story to write: I wrote That's What Friends are For, which is a Danny/Jackson story, in less than a day. I miss writing like that. Sadly, that kind of writing is a lot easier when one is in grad school for writing than it is when one is working. It was also pretty easy to write Young Harold and the Winter Palace but I am not sure not!fic counts in this category.

This year's theme and the story that demonstrates it most: I think probably the theme for this year was Frank and Gerard are horny for each other, since that's the point of half the stories I wrote this year.
