meme: 2007 fics in review
It's interesting how much het I've written this year. Erm. Weirdness? *g*

Favorite story this year: Quiet (Hermione/Remus). It's my baby and I only let it go into the scary wide world half an hour ago (WAH!).
Best story this year: My snupin_santa, which still has its faults, but for the most part it says exactly what I want it to say. Also Shadows in Light and Dark (Narcissa-centric gen). It's not brilliant, but it is my personal canon and I worked really hard on it. In the end, I was very pleased by the result.
Most underappreciated by the universe: Heart Stops Beating (Narcissa/Severus). Once my beta told me it wasn't crap, I came to love this story very, very much.
Most fun story: Glaciers Melting in the Dead of Night (Sirius-centric gen). I love twisting Sirius around!
Sexiest story: Hmm, that's a hard one because I haven't concentrated on this aspect. I think it's Quiet.
"Holy crap, that's wrong even for you": Actually this is not applicable because OMG WHERE ARE THE BAD NON-CON STORIES OF 2007??? but I'll humour you. Red Destruction (Ginny/Ron), because it has non-con incest. It's nothing fancy, but I couldn't see myself writing incest before, so there you go.
Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: My smutty_claus story, most definitely. And Quiet, because it finally let me find my Remus.
Hardest story to write: My snupin_santa aside, it was definitely Shadows in Light and Dark (Narcissa-centric gen). Writing Narcissa's relationships to all those different characters was difficult, to say the least. Emotionally it was There Is Always Consolation (Remus-centric with some Snupin, about Sirius' death). That's my heart right there.
Biggest disappointment: In Your Reach (Bill/Severus), because it never quite came together the way I wanted it to.
Biggest surprise: Downward Spiral. I didn't think it was all that good, but the response to it has been amazing.
Story I want remembered: Quiet, because as I said above it's my baby.

ETA: Writing New Year's Resolutions!

- write all the freaking damn fic ideas in your three (!) writing notebooks and the half-finished drafts in your Google Docs! (esp.: Severus/Sirius fic that might span from Marauders era up to DH with canon-compliance; Hermione/Severus with twisted motivations; Charlie/Remus/Tonks fic that already has a sequel.)
- write all the goddamn meta in your head
- explore more kink (esp. of the wrong variety; too many stories of that kind are already in your notebook)
- indulge in new Supernatural obsession...
- ... and do not forget Harry Potter over it
- write more slash and gen, because Teh Het seems to be taking over your world
- control run-on sentences
- try to write plot
- work on dialogue

I think that sounds like enough to work on. Anything that you want to focus on, dear flist?

Hi hon, happy new year :) Hope you had a nice Christmas and are heading up for a lovely party tonight (I'm over at Arvid's, it's going to be the biggest chaos ever with that guest list ...)

I like your writing resolutions ^_^ I think "try to write plot" pretty much sums up mine, even though this would include "write MORE" as well. Need to talk about the January thing again, I completely forgot to ask around at the SHG, but I've had my mind on loads of other things, I'm afraid *sigh* But still, need to write more.

Let me know when you're free from Jan 2nd onwards, we need to catch up! *hugs*

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope you didn't fall too deeply ;)

I'm going to celebrate my b-day with a few friends in the Sonntag on Friday. If you wanna come too I'd be delighted! Or if you'd rather not (or if you wanna meet me alone, for which I'm totally up) - I'm free tomorrow night (because I don't think I'll manage to actually get out of bed before evening) or Friday afternoon or Saturday night or the entirety of Sunday. Got a new number (0179/7341415 OMG THIS IS SO AWESOME!), so either text me or send me an email or comment here, okay? <3

And THANK YOU SO MUCH for your Christmas card, btw. It made me all warm and fuzzy inside! *HUGS*

Actually, the party was a right mess, but a comment is hardly the place for discussing it *drop*

Um, I'm afraid Friday is the only day this week so far that I'm otherwise engaged -- sorry! :( I'd love to come, but Oli asked me to come to the Kato, and since I've hardly seen him at all during the last months ... Tomorrow evening (as in, 2nd Jan, right?) should be fine! I'll see Sindy off at the station (she sends her regards, btw!) round about 6.00 pm, so I could see you afterwards, how about I call you when I get going at Ostbahnhof and we meet somewhere? Saturday and Sunday are reserved for uni, though. Haven't done anything since the beginning of the holidays *sigh*
YAY I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GOT A NEW MOBILE NUMBER! XD *saves*

Aww, that's alright, dear :) Glad you liked it ^_^

	This is why I was so clueless on the 2nd when you called! Yahoo had classified the comment notification as spam. kicks (Reply to this) (Parent)
