Fannish Review of 2015 - the Fic

[amberdreams]

Stuff Wot I did in 2015 ...continued
(yeah sorry THREE posts is a bit excessive, right?)


Fic wot I wrote

• A ton of drabbles - I won't link to each one because it would take forever and anyone who's interested has probably already read them. The link takes you to my drabble tag instead. And there are more on fanfiction.net that I didn't post here!


• Oddities include - A Season 10 Episode 9 reaction


• sammybigbang Soul Cage - 7k, Season 10. Sam is trapped inside an invisible cage. With totally fab art by chomaisky.


• super_disney Flight of the Condor - 14k SPN spin on a Cold War AU.


• genteensybang Beautiful Neighbourhood - a Dark Angel SPN RPF crossover with absolutely beautiful art by chomaisky again!


• spn_bigpretzel for theymp Charlie is my darling with pole dancing Dean art & fic


• spnspiration - Let me take you there - Impala POV ficlet


• spn_summergen Paying for Time - a 3000 word curtain fic, & Hark the Herald - a Cabin in the Woods/SPN crossover casefic


• spn_cinema The Fighter Still Remains - based on the film Warrior


• for thursdaysisters's prompt on citrusjava's Episode 17 meme - The God Delusion. Genslashy, in which Sam becomes God


• Birthday ficlet for tifaching - All American Boy. Preseries, outsider POV. A beautiful stranger walks into a gay bar


• ohsam anniversary challenge for a prompt by quickreaver - Breaking the Law of Thermodynamics. Purgatory fic where Sam comes for Dean.

By the end of November my year to date word count was 131,907. Which is a bit down on last year (unless I've written a lot more than I think in December this year) but it's a total I'm more than happy with.

If anyone wants to know the answers to that list of fic (or art) questions going round, just ask in the comments.
Eg:

1. Favorite of the year


2. Most popular of the year


3. Most fun to write/draw


4. Most underappreciated


5. "Holy crap that's wrong, even for you"


6. Fic/art that shifted my perspective of the characters


7. Hardest to write


8. Biggest disappointment


9. Biggest surprise

I'd like to know all of those (simply because I am a nosy bitch) I'll settle for what was the hardest thing for you to write/draw?

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

The hardest to write ended up The Fighter Still Remains. It started of ok but I got really stuck partway through, because I got really bogged down with the injury side of things. Luckily dear_tiger's medical advice sorted me out eventually and I managed to make it work almost along the lines I'd wanted.

Where's the link to "All American Boy?"

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Oooh sorry, I missed a couple! http://amberdreams.livejournal.com/311852.html

I'm curious about #6.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

mmm that's a hard one, I find my perspective is shifting in increments all the time, from reading other people's fics, meta, from the show itself...

I'll go with Joke, What Joke? because it was actually hard for me to turn that around to make J2 the bad guys. Though I love reading fics where they are serial killers, or whatever, I'm so used to having my heroes be flawed but essentially good, and in this one they most certainly are not good!

You've been majorly busy this year. I'm gradually working my way through these review posts, it's fun to see what everyone has been up to :)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

It's good, isn't it! Letting me catch up on a few things I missed first time round.

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

When exactly do you sleep?! *wowser!*

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

It's called being unemployed and terminally lazy...! LOL

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

LOL!!! I like your way of doing things :D btw, I made you a present ;)

[kalliel]

THREE posts is just a measure of how much you love us. Three times more than LJ was expecting. ;)

What, in your opinion, was your most underappreciated fic?

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I was a bit gobsmacked, I didn't think I'd been that busy... but there you go!

Mmm under-appreciated - I'd probably go for All American Boy, simply because I really loved writing it (even though all the time I kind of wanted someone else to write it better), and it only got a handful of comments. it's a bit of a love letter to Dean from me.

[kalliel]

I'm always down for Love letters to Dean! :DDDD

#9 - what was your biggest surprise (and how?)

[tipsy-kitty.livejournal.com]

Congrats, what a productive year! What's your #5?
