2009 Writing Meme Thing
In which I teel deer ego-dump commentary about a whole year's worth of fic.
Most proud of: Finishing the John Hart/Jack Time Agency arc. I love holes in canon and figuring things out, and I did everything I set out to do with these stories -- explain how Jack and John met, what the Time Agency Academy was like and why they have this screwed-up relationship and every single unexplained reference made (Bikini Cops? Rear of the Year? SORTED).
My favorite story of this year: Mission of Mercy. I think it's my best John Hart/Time Agency story. It's quite short and spare, but I like it a lot.
My best story this year: Fearnought, because it's Gwen. And it's coat fetish fic. And most of all because![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
neifile7 co-wrote and made it work.
Story most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion: Eh. On one hand, I'm happy to get *one* comment on a story, so I can't say anything's underappreciated if someone liked it enough to comment. But if pressed, I have to say What Time Do You Get Off? Since everyone wanks and Jack watches and I found kind of rare pics of the settings and Suzie makes Jack lick her fingers afterward. So I kind of love that one a lot. Coz I've got a filthy mind!
Most fun story: Great Balls Afire, sinceblue_fjords ' prompt was really, really hilarious. :D So that, and Two Moon Tango, because it's an off-world adventure and someone commented to tell me it reminded them of Doctor Who comics/Grant Morrison's stuff. WHICH MADE MY MONTH.
Hardest story to write: Asleep At The Switch. It was my first Doctor Who story, for a fic exchange, and threesome bodyswap. So it was hard on a technical level -- who's doing what where? -- and on a personal level I was afraid no one would like it or think it was funny/hot.
"Holy crap, that's *wrong*, even for you" story: I have few fic scruples, so... yeah, okay, the one where the Face of Boe makes the Doctor travel back to present-day Cardiff and do Jack. That was sort of a low. :D Wait, no. The Tosh/Rhys. Dude. It was for a porn batlle, ok? Nobody else has ever written that, AFAIK. For good reason.
Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: Three Proverbs. Well, I always actually thought Tosh was sexy and awesome, and I did fail at my initial goal here, which was a Tosh/Jack/Ianto threesome, but I think I gave her more agency here and it made me respect her even more. I'm not a fan of "Tosh moons over Owen and has nothing else going on and she always loses" fic.
Biggest disappointment: I failed at writing a Big Bang story, even though I had what I thought was a pretty good idea. I fail at longfic. Or maybe I just fail at Owenfic.
Biggest surprise: The Assist. Rhys/Ianto/Gwen. Where the hell did that come from? Oh yeah, a kinkmeme prompt! ILU kinkmeme!
Sexiest story: ??? I don't know. Judging from feedback, probably Tell Me. I like dirty talk.
I most appreciate all the much-needed help from betas this year, and story art fromlaurab1 and copperbadge , and filthgoblin 's podfic of Fearnought. Most of all, I appreciate all of the feedback received. Thanks so much for letting me know if you liked something or if you thought it needed development/offered some concrit or whatever. :)

Kind of too bad. Maternity leave would be like six years and all bed rest.
