look to the pasta

God, this is so late, but for yuletide I wrote Cat's Cradle (Cat/Gwendolen, rated maybe PG, 3871 words), for Diana Wynne Jones's Chrestomanci series, by the way. Because nothing says happy holidays like creepy incest, haha.

I usually do that year in fic meme, but this year, while I wrote many, many words, I did not write a wide variety of stories. So I guess this won't take long; more for my own reference than anything. (Previous versions: 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008.)

( Oh, 2009 )

I can't believe we're already two weeks into 2010.

I am actually having an awesome time in Kentucky lately, you guys, it's weird. I keep going out with people I used to know and being shocked at how much I'm enjoying myself. So that's cool? I'm glad I didn't make a huge mistake in moving back? Also moireach is fiiiiinally back in range where we can talk on the phone, THANK GOD. Those were dark days in my life for awhile there.

Fannish stuff! Bones continues to own my soul, you guys. ( Seriously? )

Moving on. Let's talk about Ron Livingston for a moment. ( RLiv and how he may or may not be gay and how I want him and DLew to hit it, ugh, I don't even know, this whole entry, you guys, I say a lot of things )

Haha, okay, I need to cool it. In actual non-crazy RLiv news, his new show Defying Gravity (described by ABC as, and I am not making this up, "Grey's Anatomy in Outer Space" HAHA) comes out on August 2, and oh my God, you guys. Oh my God. Nothing about this show will not be amazing. Here is an early review along with four clips from the pilot. 1) RLiv looks smoking hot in those clips. Like, smoking, smoking, blisteringly hot. (Ugh, I don't understand how I did not find him attractive in Office Space 10 years ago, compared to how I find him now. Like, what kind of magical powers does BoB have???) 2) He hits on a lot of ladies. 3) He's clearly the McDreamy of the space station. 4) HAHA REMEMBER THAT TIME IT WAS DESCRIBED AS GREY'S ANATOMY IN SPACE? 5) ABC's actual promo text on this includes the paragraph, "Four women and four men hurtle through space with nothing to do for six years and eight billion miles, except maybe solve a powerful and awesome mystery. Maybe, just maybe, some of them will even hook up. How cool is that?" 6) HAHA HOW COOL IS THAT, YOU GUYS?

Ahahahaha, basically there is nothing about this show that isn't going to be pure gold, and I plan on enjoying the HELL out of it. The only bummer of it is that I'm going to my family's place in Canada starting Thursday, for two weeks, which means no TV or internet, which means, auuuuuuuuuuuugh. I WANT TO WATCH RON IN SPAAAAAACE. :( :(

Uh, anyway, this also serves as your notice that I will be out of touch except for possibly text messaging for the next couple weeks. This is going to be hell on my tumblarity. Haha. Don't burn down the internet while I'm gone or anything.

And to finish this mass of crazy off, that WIP meme! One sentence from everything I'm "working" on, though haha, that ranges from stuff that'll probably be posted this week to stuff that is over a year old and definitely never seeing the light of day.

( I don't understand what I spend my time on. )

Hey, look, it's January 1! That is my signal to tell you that I wrote The Failure of Einstein's Universe for kyrafic in yuletide, which is in The Big Bang Theory fandom, and is Sheldon/Penny. Because you guys, 1600 people signed up for yuletide and I got assigned to write for MY OWN BEST FRIEND, ROOMMATE, AND ONSITE FIC CONSULTANT. Hahaha, wtf, wtf. Apparently it is also very hard to keep that a secret when you're averse to actively lying and so she knew it was me upon reading the first sentence. OH WELL, haha. At least I could tailor it to her specific likes and dislikes? Anyway, it was fun to write and came way easier than any other year of yuletide, so that's something.

And this is the fourth year I'm doing the year-in-fic meme! (Previous versions: 2005, 2006, 2007.)

( 2008's fic )

The Yuletide authors have been announced, and I wrote The Ascent, in The Dark Is Rising fandom. I'm reasonably happy with how it turned out, and it was fun to get to write in that fandom, since I've loved those books since I was a tiny child.

For the third year running, I'm doing the my-year-in-fic meme. (Previous versions: 2005, 2006) The questions are cobbled together from a lot of different people I've seen doing this meme.

( The fic by fandom )

That's 10 stories in 7 fandoms, totalling about 42,000 words. Of those, 6 were written for nothing_hip, 1 for warning_labels and 1 for yuletide. 42,000 words is the least amount I've ever written in a year, which annoys me, though I guess I do have a couple of long things that are still in progress (the Mosepocalypse, a Jim/Roy). I don't know. It was a busy year, and I was tired for most of it.

( The meme )

The reveal has happened! For yuletide I wrote The Beams of Our Houses Are Cedars, which is Big Love and is like 7 pairings of just about every character (Ben/Margie, Margie/Barb, Barb/Nicki, Nicki/Roman, Roman/Rhonda, Rhonda/Sarah, Sarah/Heather). Good times.

Happy 2007, everybody! As always, it's time for the my-year-in-fic meme, this time gacked from likethesun2.

( The other stuff I wrote this year )

In conclusion, check out my new pretentious icon! (In Greek, it says, "I'm in the city, killing the men." Memes: funnier in ancient Greek?)

For kellifer_fic, ( Five ways Pam *almost* finds out about Jim's crush on her, and one way she does. )

I'm coming late to this one, but here is 2005, my fic in review.
