Most written fandom: The West Wing (25). Also Farscape (7), One Tree Hill (7), Stargate Atlantis (7), Stargate SG-1 (7), and The Office (5).
My favourite story this year: I really love This Unavoidable Thing Between Us and A Script Written By Committee, Drunk, mainly because, Sam/Ginger!! I love Ginger way more than it's healthy to love a tertiary character, and Sam is my favourite West Wing character ever, so Sam/Ginger ... I don't know, it makes me really happy.
Best story: There Is Never Enough Food (We're All Going To Die Hungry Remix) is probably one of the fics I'm happiest with; I like the style, I like the plot, I like the twist on the original fic. Plus, it's an apocafic remix, which are two things I really love.
Story most underappreciated by the universe: Exit Music (The Last Train From Mandyville). I think the crack label probably does this fic a disservice; it's more like meta-fic, maybe, but whatever it is, I really love it. It didn't get the biggest response, but I'm okay with that.
Most fun: Things This City Was Built On, Besides Rock And Roll, despite it being apocafic. I mean, it's really very fluffy, cracky apocafic, and I fell a little bit in love with it when I first received the prompt, even before I started writing. I should also give a special mention to White Chocolate Space Egg, which is just ... Teal'c! Daniel! The Easter Bunny! It's a cute fic, and it gives me warm fuzzies every time I read it.
Sexiest: A Picnic Date Ending In An Awkward Sexual Encounter, Told Chronologically Through Board-Game Titles, which I think did a really good job at evoking the sort of lazy summer drunken hook-up vibe I was going for. Also, it's Brooke/Haley, which I love an insane amount. I also really like the casualness of Finding Out True Love Is Blind; I don't write a lot of threesomes, but I was really happy with how this one turned out.
Hardest to write: Decent Days And Nights. For whatever reason, I had the hardest time writing this, even though I really like the pairing. I ended up loving the finished fic, though, so it was definitely worth it.
Most unintentionally telling: Probably For Reasons Unknown, which exposes one of my super-secret kinks, gay guy/straight girl pairings. I have no idea why it's such a big kink for me, or why I'm so ashamed of it, but there. Don't expect me to repeat it.
Biggest surprise: I'm going to say The Girl In The Box, for being the first time I wrote RPF. I had avoided it when I first got into fandom, but I finally started writing it for last year's![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
prettylightsfic, and I found that I really enjoyed it - so much that I signed up for the exchange again this year.
2009 goals: Last year, I said I wanted to write longer fics. I didn't quite manage that, but the last three fics I posted, plus the three yet-to-be-posted fics I wrote for holiday exchanges, were all over 2500 words, so maybe it's just taking me a while to warm up after a mid-year writing slump. Anyway, I'd like to keep working towards that, and also to spend more time working on original fiction.
