Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you'd predicted?

Well seeing as how until May I didn’t write at all everything I've written is more than I predicted. *g*

What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January 2002?

I’m gonna edit the question seeing as how January doesn’t really work. But when I started writing I only wrote choey and trickyfish. I’ve begun to write a bunch of timbertrick stories and that I didn’t expect. Though I can’t say its too much of a difference because its still Chris.

What's your favorite story of the year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you happiest.

Physical Graffiti. Nothing I’ve written hits me the way this story does. It came out of the blue and it wrote itself. The whole story spawned from the first line and it just kept coming and I really had no idea where it was going or where it would end. I was 2/3 of the way through the story before I knew what the hell had happened. It also means the most to me because I’ve put a lot of myself into it. I see a lot of myself in Chris.

I also need to put Screaming Silence in here. It’s not finished. In fact it’s a lot way from being finished but it needs to be here. It’s the story that got me started in this whole mess and it has taken off and already become more than I could ever have imagined. This story means the world to me because it’s how I’ve dealt with a lot of my own demons. I’ve dealt with my ordeal through Chris and I’ve been able to talk about things I could never even admit to myself happened. It’s cleansing in a way nothing else could be. What makes it even more wonderful is the fact that I’m writing it with hammerhead22. Having Joey’s POV there just makes it so much more real and she’s also been the one to help me get things out and if it weren’t for her I never would have started writing.

Did you take any writing risks this year? (See above for unexpected pairings, etc.) What did you learn from them?

Writing in itself is/was a risk for me but the biggest ones would be writing stories like Physical Graffiti and Screaming Silence that are full of myself and my own personal issues. It’s not easy for me to reveal myself like that and to pour that much into a story but in the end I think it was wonderful in every instance. I’ve learned that a story means more to me and I enjoy writing it if it is a part of me.

Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the New Year?

I just want to keep writing and write for me. I need to stop worrying what other people will think and write what I want. And damnit if I want to write only Chris pairings I’m gonna write only Chris pairings. *nods*
