[fanfic] 2006 fic round-up

[escritoireazul]

First, let me just say I, like so many other people, hate the new update page and want the old option back. Livejournal, I hate you so much sometimes. So much.

---

I'm going to go ahead and do a fic round-up for the year, because, with the exception of my Yuletide story, I don't think I'll be finishing and posting anything else before 2007. (And even if I do, I can always do a part two.)

So here we go, this shouldn't take long, it wasn't really a productive year.

January: (2 gen, 1 girl slash)

(1) "behind her silence lies" (Lost, Sun, gen): There is one constant in Sun's life.

(2) "Strange Rebirth" (Firefly/Angel, Cordelia, girl slash): This isn't quite how Cordelia thought death should be.

(3) "a billion chinese people can't be wrong" (Supernatural, Dean and Sam, gen): "What are we--just a couple of guys watching horror films and drinking beer?"

February: (1 gen, 1 het, 3 girl slash)

(4) "on the road with disposable comestibles" (X-Men Movieverse, Hank and Bobby, gen): Twinkies make everything okay again. Except when they don't.

(5) "going, staying" (XMM, Rogue/Bobby and Gambit, het): Rogue knows these things: going out is hard, staying in is hard, and love doesn't always make sense.

(6) and (7) "Popular" (BtVS, Joyce/Faith, girl slash): Joyce doesn't know what to do with Buffy, but she sure understands Faith. and "no sleep tonight" (BtVS, Faith/Willow, girl slash): Faith's a little broken, and a little horny.

(8) "lineage and the Slayer line" (BtVS, Faith/Kendra, girl slash): All that's important is this: it's what you are.

April: (1 gen, 2 girl slash)

(9) "Time Is Running Away (The Dream a Little Dream Remix)" (Harry Potter, Sirius, gen): Sirius dreams in layers, no delineation between past, present, and the future perhaps.

(10) "In the Memory (Life and Death)" (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Tibby/Carmen, girl slash): The third death is when there is no one left to remember.

(11) "afternoon siesta (minus the sleep)" (Fast and the Furious, Letty/Mia, girl slash): When they're alone, things change.

May: (1 het, 1 girl slash)

(12) "pieces of me (ten again)" (BtVS, Willow/Oz, Buffy/Angel, Buffy/Riley, Willow/Angel, Willow/Spike, Willow/Angel/Spike, het): Willow doesn't see anything wrong with dating a beast.

(13) "What She Doesn't Have" (BtVS, Faith/Buffy, girl slash): Faith has never had a lot, but now she has even less.

July: (1 het)

(14) "Monster In the Woman" (Harry Potter, Viktor/Hermione, het): Viktor is always searching for something, even at the end of the world.

August: (1 girl slash)

(15) "Don't Look Back (Ride the Wind)" (Ultimate X-Men, Storm/Rogue, girl slash): Sometimes Rogue can fly.

September: (1 het, 1 boy slash, 2 girl slash)

(16) "Four Things Adam Banks Didn't Do At His Reunion (the will he won't he remix)" (Mighty Ducks, Adam, het): Adam Banks is a nice boy. He would never do such things.

(17) "Laundry Day (Extended Version)" (Fast and the Furious, Mia/Letty, girl slash): Every three days or so, Mia has to do laundry.

(18) "Iteration" (XMM, Pyro/Gambit, boy slash): John lost a lot at Alcatraz, and gained a little bit in the aftermath.

(19) "Found Love" (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Lena/Tibby, girl slash): Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.

---

So with my Yuletide story, I'll have written twenty fanfics this year. That's not as good as I wanted, but it's not bad, considering. Not to mention I've focused a lot on professional writing this year.

Plus Sarah and I updated "Queertet Revisited" (Mighty Ducks, multiple, girl slash, boy slash, het.)

---

Now for the analysis.

First thought: Have I gone full circle? When did BtVS become my main fandom again?

girl slash: 10 (11 if you count "Queertet Revisited")
boy slash: 1 (2 if you count QR)
het: 4 (5 if you count QR)
gen: 4

So pretty much I've written one girl slash story for one of any other type of story. I like that, a lot.

Characters:

Sun (Lost): 1 (gen)
Cordelia (BtVS/Angel): 1 (Cordelia/Saffron)
Dean (Supernatural): 1 (Dean & Sam)
Sam (Supernatural): 1 (Sam & Dean)
Hank (X-Men movieverse): 1 (Hank & Bobby)
Bobby (XMM): 2 (Bobby/Rogue, Bobby<--John, Bobby & Hank)
Rogue (XMM): 1 (Rogue/Bobby, Rogue/Gambit)
Rogue (Ultimate X-Men): 1 (Rogue/Storm)
Gambit (XMM): 2 (Gambit/Rogue, Gambit/Pyro)
Joyce (BtVS): 1 (Joyce/Faith)
Faith (BtVS): 4 (Faith/Joyce, Faith/Willow, Faith/Kendra, Faith/Buffy)
Willow (BtVS): 2 (Willow/Faith, Willow/Oz, Willow/Angel, Willow/Spike, Willow/Angel/Spike)
Kendra (BtVS): 1 (Kendra/Faith)
Sirius (Harry Potter): 1 (Sirius/Remus)
Tibby (Sisterhood): 2 (Tibby/Carmen, Tibby/Lena)
Carmen (Sisterhood): 1 (Carmen/Tibby)
Letty (Fast and the Furious): 2 (Letty/Mia)
Mia (Fast and the Furious): 2 (Mia/Letty)
Buffy (BtVS): 1 (Buffy/Faith)
Viktor (Harry Potter): 1 (Viktor/Hermione)
Storm (Ultimate X-Men): 1 (Storm/Rogue)
Adam (Mighty Ducks): 1 (Adam/Julie)
Pyro (XMM): 1 (Pyro/Gambit, John-->Bobby)
Lena (Sisterhood): 1 (Lena/Tibby)

girls: 15
boys: 9

It's no surprise that Faith is the one I wrote most. From writing, I've also fallen in love with Gambit in the movieverse, Gambit/Pyro, and Tibby/Lena. Mia/Letty may just be my one true pairing, except I still love to see them with other people, too.
