2010 Writing (mine)

 Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] coley_merrin because it's clever. 



Total word count: 213,149 posted, 8,520 not posted

Fandoms: DBSK, Super Junior, and I started dabbling in SHINee...

Favorite Fic:  I think my favorite story I wrote this year is Happiness Is. It was the longest in the making. It was originally supposed to be a Yewook story about Yesung searching for himself, but I never actually wrote it, and then I took the idea of visible souls and it morphed into the Happiness Is plot. I worked out this world and story more than I did any other story (oddly enough,) and killed myself on it. Also, [livejournal.com profile] shigai  did some awesome art. I still can't get over it.

Best Fic: This is difficult. Happiness Is was good, but I actually think We Walk WIth Shadows was better. I didn't spend as much time on it as I did on other worlds, and it was a little farfetched and the characterization wasn't quite what I wanted, but I was pleased with it. It was my first, serious foray into present tense writing, and I did work hard on it. Plus, it was all crossover and that was really satisfying to accomplish.  Idk. I really think it's one of the better things I've written.

Most under appreciatedI Might Miss You, Babe (A Boy, a Girl, and a Game). Difficult to write, spent forever on it, really fucking proud of it, etc. Close runner-up for "Favorite Fic." Second for this is Castle in the Sky.

Most over appreciated: Business Proposal. Not my best piece of fiction, but for some reason people seem to like. I don't know why.

Most fun to write: Also easy. MINJIN. Tell Me How To Love You. I would also categorize this as "Most Satisfying to Write." I love law!verse, and that I have people who love it as much as I do makes me very happy :DD

Sexiest fic: Errrrr. :( Idk. Something Decidedly Hot or Because I Can't Stay Away. Both sexy, but in different ways.

Funniest
: Idk that I'm all that funny. But I will occasionally re-read 1988 Seoul Kyudonnay for a few giggles, which if I may say, has like the worst title ever. Idk what I was thinking.

Saddest: Snowflake Hearts. Sad, but hopeful. 

Biggest surprise(s): 1) How many stories I wrote over 10k. :DD Gives me hope for this year. 2) How much love everyone gave me. THANK YOU.

Hardest to write: In terms of just "writing" Castle in the Sky was hard to finish. But in terms of subject matter, Happiness Is and I Might Miss You Babe were also very difficult. For obvious reasons :(

Fics I'm most proud of: SO HARD. I will say all of the above, for sure. Probably more than any others, but since I already talked about them, I would say Love in Monochrome because I wrote 16k in two weeks. :D But also, Flying Broken Sky, because I was able to kill people and still make it (imo) pretty.

For this year: Write quicker, come up with some more ideas and participate in challenges again. I liked doing it; less scary than I thought.

Things I want to improve on: Less typos, better characterizations, better description, not lean on dialogue so much. Have more confidence in myself.

Also: There are a lot of reasons I write. One is so that I can continually get better. I feel like, at least a little, I have been. Thank you for letting me practice on you and the boys (and girls) we love.

And some of my top-used words for lulz. Notice Heechul's name... :D Clearly, I have a bias.




Now it's your turn. I would love for you to tell me what you thought of my writing this year using the questions above, of your own, or whatever. I'm curious :) Would also like you to add "Things I'd like to See You Write."
