indecisionk just put on linkin park's hybrid theory. my god, it's been years. years! it's actually still really good. there's no filler! i miss you, linkin park! band as hit-driven corporation has never been so appealingly pretty, or so catchy. also i'm probably the only person that actually regrets the death of nu-metal.
hey, we're not anonymous anymore! anyway i wrote:
b-sides and rarities, (She Wants Revenge, the album)
for every ending, (Miami Vice, the movie. yes the one starring colin farrell, bless him.)*
treats/pinch-hits were:
even the most sophisticated of machines, (Alien vs Predator)
the death of girl number two, (Profit)
captain smith and pocahantas had a very mad affair, (Near Dark/Heroes)
yes two of my stories featured The Pasdar. he's just reallyhotinteresting okay? i'm not entirely sure how commenting works in AO3, so i'd just like to thank everyone who commented over here. eta: and actually everyone that i wrote for, for being awesome and loving the sources for these, all of which i adored, even before the whole Pasdar thing.
*i actually wanted to talk about that colin farrell movie at some point, and actually i should stop calling it that, because other than gong li (GONG LI!!) it has the quite marvelous jamie foxx in it, not to mention the rest of the awesome team that is team MVPD Vice. which is just about my favorite thing about said movie, the team dynamics, and i suspect the movie has very little to the show that shares its name, but it's still quite lovely. i would read fic in which the MVPD do nothing but solve crimes and support one another while carting around big guns and being bad-ass and constantly anticipating each other's needs because they're essentially one singular well-oiled machine. i really would. in conclusion: more people should watch this movie! ETA2: i tried to stalk our doom fic-writers, but couldn't find them, sadly. *prods at AO3*
ETA3: i realized i forgot to thank co-journaller, who is amazing and who held my hand throughout everything, including getting betas for me and uploading everything and just basically being stellar (and who actually co-wrote the profit fic, TBH), and you only wish you had one of her but tough, you have to get your own.
Writing meme, 2009
I've never done this meme before, because it's HILARIOUS and you know, chances are i will link to fic that's not even mine but i wish i wrote, so hey.
Fiction posted in 2009:
january
all the lost, forgotten things - interpol, paul/pretty much everyone in the band. my last interpol fic! o.O
February through to July
uh...pretty much nothing! i was angry with you, fandom, for various instances of fail! i got over it though, um. yaye?
August
rain down, rain down (the persistence of memory mix), kirk/mccoy, star trek/blade runner AU. also known as "james t kirk is an electric sheep"
September
nada!
October
and somewhere we will meet
...which is the sequel to rain down, rain down.
November
blue skies shine above you
my second and last! star trek fic. uh, because you can't leave a fandom without making james t kirk underaged and sleeping with an older mccoy? that's how i feel it goes anyway.
December
five lives of crime, a Heroes AU
do over, my post the-fifth stage fix-its (emo tear!)
Overall Thoughts:
uh...interpol went exploded, i kind of just, lost interest in their non-shennanigans - bear in mind we got INTO the fandom during a hiatus, but that was when we had so much media to download, read and watch, and everything was just us catching up. after the rather anti-climactic non-event that was OLTA, everything just spluttered out. but hey, let's not talk about interpol. let's talk instead about kirk/mccoy, and then the BROTHERS PETRELLI.
Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you'd predicted?
less, probably? i was pretty prolific in 2008! and by "prolific" i mean i wrote just about seven or eight stories, but one of them was more than 20K words and took months, which for me is amazing, so. okay wow no, considering the beta-queue, more is probably true. uh, i wrote a lot in interpol i never published. mostly the porn. but also a lot i just never got around to finishing. i tend to finish my heroes fic more!
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January?
HAHAHA THE BROTHERS PETRELLI. look i've been watching heroes for four years, okay? it never occurred to me to actually write the slash, though i saw it.
What's your own favorite story of the year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you happiest?
i hate everything the second after i publish it. don't even ask me this question.
Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?
uh...i learnt that plot is hard, skip it for the emo pretty boys making anime eyes at each other. \o/ THAT WAS WHAT I TOOK FROM TRYING TO COMPLETE the "rain down, rain down" series, essentially.
From my past year of writing, what was....
My best story of this year:
uh, i'm going to go with the ones where there's a happy ending! oh wait i don't think that ever happened.
My most popular story of this year:
the star trek ones, but i feel mostly because more people tend to read star trek than anything else.
Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion:
all my genius is under-appreciated.
Most fun story to write:
i enjoyed writing the one where there was no sex scene to worry about? LOL GEN.
Story with the single sexiest moment:
LOL WHUT? vague sex scenes sandwiched between characters emoing at one another is not sexy!
Most "Holy crap, that's wrong, even for you" story:
WELL THAT WOULD BE THE FIC THAT WOULD BE IN THE BETA-QUEUE RIGHT NOW. which is 13-year old jim profit/his stepmomma. i'd say "how could you even go there?!" but then again, THE SHOW WENT THERE FIRST. so there.
Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters:
again, what? look, the point of them emoing at one another is basically so that we can GET to the vague sex scenes okay? there is no character perception shifting or whatever nonsense, just a matter of trying to get them into a position where they'd hit it.
Hardest story to write:
"and somewhere we will meet" was really hard! it had an actual plot that i couldn't brush aside in favor of like, characters emoing at one another.
Biggest Disappointment:
uh. OH. my short foray into the star trek fandom, which ended up with me mostly going "well that james t kirk rebooted is kind of pants, isn't he?" and then sashaying out. after i'd turned him into a fifteen year old army brat and a replicant, of course.
Biggest Surprise:
that i would ever write FPS again. it's not been my thing for years, and i'd just gotten used to the idea that i enjoyed the, i wouldn't say relative freedom? of RPF? or even that the characterization is fluid? but that their public image, and whatever they said, tended to be consistent and continually evolving (interviews keep coming out, etc). with FPF you're restricted by the whims of whatever writer's daddy issues decides to come into play that particular day. and then if the series/movie is completed, there's just no more canon. suucks! uh, i guess one gets used to a lot? it's difficult viewing characters as more or less "real people". i'm more of talking about writers and producers in terms of their motivations. uh.
Most Unintentionally Telling Story:
surprisingly, nothing this year! uh, actually maybe "blue skies shine above you", but nothing to do with jimmy kirk OR mccoy.
Fic-writing goals for 2010:
write more porn! no, seriously. says right here. WRITE MORE PORN. MORE PORN, LESS EMO.
