Fic Year in Review - 2011

Over 250k words posted in 2011! Best writing year yet. \0/

I had around the same amount of story posts this year as last, but the wordcount was higher overall. It sounds kind of funny to say this when I've been writing fanfic for ten years now-- but I think I'm finally learning to trust my muses and run with them. I'm enjoying more where the story takes me, taking more risks, and obsessing less about how other people are going to react to this detail or that.

Mom still keeps saying I should be writing "real" stories instead. Sorry, Mom; I've been having too much fun.

"Any and all in your power, huh?" O'Connell replied. "If you'd caught me three years ago, I might have taken you seriously enough to take that oath, myself."

Fic: Testing the Leash (Grimm; Nick/Monroe-ish)

PG-13; Grimm, 2600 words. Canon through episode 1.6; pre-slash. Fic #2 for Yuletide 2011.

Eddie had never really liked fairy tale protagonists. Their stories never ended well for guys like him.

Fic: The Only Puzzle Worth Solving (Star Wars EU; Thrawn/Pellaeon)

PG-13; Star Wars EU, 1000 words. Thawn trilogy; pre-slash. Fic #3 for Yuletide 2011.

Thrawn knew the truth: winning an individual's spirit was a far more productive and lasting conquest than mere puppetry or physical subjugation.
