I was reminded by inlovewithnight's Yuletide Retrospective that I haven't done a list like this in awhile, and I have some free time tonight, so I thought I'd give it a go again. This reminds me how much I love Yuletide, both writing my assignment and writing treats. I haven't set any treat goals this year (not after the Christmas Eve death in the family last year; I haven't been doing much holiday planning this year because I'm not handling the upcoming anniversary very well, I think), but I hope to write some.

2011 Fic Round-Up

I always count Yuletide stories in the year I can post them with my name attached, so these Yuletide stories are for Yuletide 2010.

( 2011 Fic Round-Up )

So that's 35 stories in 13 fandoms, including 7 new fandoms.

Here are some of the numbers, though I make no guarantees of the accuracy.

Fandoms:
Blue Crush 2
Buffy the Vampire Slayer 2
Crossovers 3
(new) Cursed 1
(new) Dustland Fairytale music video by The Killers 1
(new) Ginger Snaps 1
(new) Glee 24
Little Red Riding Hood 1
The Lost Boys 2
(new) Make It Or Break It 1
(new) Pretty Little Liars (tv) 1
Sons of Anarchy 1
(new) Sparrow Hill Road - Seanan McGuire 1

Gen 15
Girl slash 14
Boy slash 11
Het 30
Poly 11

Good grief. Glee not only ate my brain from February through August, but because of it, I wrote more het than I have in my life. Also, more stories with multiple pairings.

( fic by month )

So I posted forty new stories this year, including "Damage Done" which was finished and posted specifically so I could reach forty, once I started this and realized I had thirty-nine stories. Some analysis of the forty:

gen: 13
het: 11
girl slash: 23
boy slash: 4
unrequited: 4
foursomes: 3

Well, obviously there is a trend in what sort of relationship I write in the stories. Most of the gen stories are about women, too, and so obviously just about everything I write is about female characters. Rock on.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - 13
crossovers - 9
apocalypse - 8
The Baby-Sitters Club - 4
The Lost Boys - 4
The Fast and the Furious - 3
Supernatural - 3
(new) Twilight - 3
Blue Crush - 2
Firefly/Serenity - 2
(new) Lilo & Stitch - 2
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - 2
(new) Stick It - 2
X-Men Movieverse - 2
Bend It Like Beckham - 1
Bring It On - 1
Harry Potter - 1
(new) K.A. Applegate Making Out - 1
(new) One Tree Hill - 1
(new) Pirates of the Caribbean - 1
(new) She's the Man - 1
Tamora Pierce Circle of Magic - 1
(new) Underworld - 1

Twenty-one fandoms, eight of them for the first time. Not too shabby. I also love the fact that mostly I wrote crossovers (and most of those make other characters Slayers, otherwise BtVS would be farther down the list) and apocalyptic fic. Rock on.

J. just called to tell me to go outside because the moon was big and orange. I love that my friends think of me when they see the almost-full moon. It really is gorgeous tonight, with a faint sprinkling of stars nearby.

Fics I've posted between May and August. (Well, today.) Can you tell I'm trying to get a lot of writing done before I go to school? Yeah, I thought so.

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.

New Fandoms:

Lost (1)
Supernatural (1)
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2)
Firefly (1)

I haven't done one of these since February because, well, I've just not been writing all that much fanfiction (unfortunately, I do quite miss it). So here's what I've written and posted since February.

Fast and the Furious

"afternoon siesta (minus the sleep)" (Letty/Mia)

summary: When they're alone, things change.

(This was written for the 'ficlets for all' thing I ran awhile back. Yeah, I've only written one so far, but I do have others started, and I'm always open for more requests.)

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

"In the Memory (Life and Death)" (Tibby/Carmen)

summary: The third death is when there is no one left to remember.

Ultimate X-Men

"Don't Look Back (Ride the Wind)" (Rogue/Storm)

summary: Maybe this whole pacifist thing isn't such a bad idea after all.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

"What She Doesn't Have" (Faith/Buffy)

summary: Faith has never had a lot, but now she has even less.

"pieces of me (ten again)" (multiple pairings, mostly Willow)

summary: Willow doesn't see anything wrong with dating a beast.

Harry Potter

"Monster In the Woman" (Viktor Krum)

summary: Viktor is always searching for something, even at the end of the world.

"Time Is Running Away (The Dream A Little Dream Remix)" (Sirius Black)

Summary: Sirius dreams in layers, no delineation between past, present, and the future perhaps.

This is mostly for thestalkycop, we were talking about the things we've written and posted (as opposed to the things we've written and not posted, or which are still in progress and unposted, of which there are fifty billion stories in one series in particular and then others), and I wondered how many pieces of fanfic I'd post. So here's a list, not really in a whole lot of order. I really hate a lot of my older stories and really am thinking about pulling them down. I don't know. I kind of want to do something with this data, too.

( fanfic )

Finally saw Brokeback Mountain.
