My favorite stories this year:
Speaking Draco (LJ/IJ/DW) I just love this Draco who thinks he's being so obvious while Harry is like ...what? LOL.
Patrolling His Turf. This one just flowed out of me and it was fun.
Providing Encouragement (LJ/IJ/DW I love when Ron decides to help Harry be happy.
Lucky Day After. I laughed so hard as I wrote this. I adore this Scorpius, he's such a minx. *g* Poor James has his hands full.
Master of Death. It was a bit surreal, but fun. And I had a hoot of a time writing Death. *g*
Story most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion:
Scent of a Man. Popular enough pairing, it just never seemed to hit it with people.
Hardest story to write:
Wishes and Kisses (LJ/IJ/DW. I just. Couldn't. Finish. This. Oi.
Easiest story to write:
Patrolling His Turf
Favorite title:
Snapes and Sales and Potion Garden Tales.
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January 2016?
Can't think of anything for this one. I eventually write everything. :P
Story that could have been better?
All of them? No really, given the options I would continue rewriting until the end of the world. So it's better if I just stop after a while.
Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?
Not really. I was just happy to get back to writing after the disaster of 2015.
What's next for 2017:
No clue. I want to try and do some different fests, but I'm not sure what yet.
And that's that!
If you read through all that, kudos to you. ♥
