In addition to uncounted--and not-easily countable--chapters, stories, essays and commentaries written for my classes this year, I spent a lot of my time writing fan fiction. I kept my old fandom, Supernatural, and branched out a little more in the adjacent CWRPS fandom, but also started playing in the Star Trek sandbox. While I was succumbing to the RPS bug, Chris and Zach tempted me briefly into the Star Trek RPS waters. I even wrote a little Merlin femslash, and brought Prison Break into the mix so Lincoln and Michael could play with Sam and Dean. Not as diverse as some years, but maybe more than others.

All in all, this year I posted 42 fics to my journal in six fandoms, totaling over 133,500 words. ( It breaks down like this: )

And because I have always been more about the words than the numbers, I shall also do that questions about your fic meme. :D
( which is rather long...*g* )

So there you have it. I feel proud of my fannish output this year. I got involved in a new fandom, to the point of reccing and coding for crackenterprise, without giving up my old one; I learned to write in journals again and not just directly into my computer; I met new people, both online and in person, who enrich my life in myriad ways; I read in more movie fandoms; I discovered fanart; and I learned to better balance my need to give my time to others and my need to have time for me.

I cannot wait to see what 2010 brings! ♥♥

A day late with this, but I'm down visiting friends for the weekend, and, lo, I placed socializing over 'admin' work.

I decided, for some reason that I'm not really all that clear on now, to make my word count spreadsheets so they covered two months. And so, I have Jan/Feb.
( the boring numbers bits )

All the Sam/Dean is from my powerverse series, which grew out of the Kinesis fic from my DJ100 prompt. I never meant to start a whole work in progress thing. I tend to be more a one-shot kind of girl, with maybe fics that go together but can be read alone. I am almost done though. I'd hoped to finish by the end of Feb but that was not to be. So it will bleed into March. I've done 5500 words so far, and reckon another 1500 to go.

I've got a lot of original fic to be working on for school. Though I don't seem able to give up the fan fiction entirely...
