all we have of wings.
No one comments. No one dares. Sansa thinks perhaps it’s something like that tale her lady mother told her, about the King and his clothes, and how every man who saw him wearing nothing thought the fault lay in himself and dissembled to keep his pride. No one wishes to be the first to say that the Lord Protector’s baseborn daughter has grown wings. Wingfic. Look, I don’t know either.

My favorite story this year (my own): You know, I really rather like the wingfic, all we have of wings, particularly since it can be seen as ending either hopefully or really sadly, depending on how you read it.
My best story this year: sword and smith, probably. Maybe. Who knows?
Story most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion: I hate this stupid question. Why I haven’t taken it out yet, I don’t know.
Most fun story: All of the series that I’ve written withlit_chick08 and jal80 have been super enjoyable to brainstorm and discuss and write (possibly because lit_chick08 and jal80 are both super enjoyable people in general).
Sexiest story: heavenly creatures? Maybe thoughts of pretty you and me.
Hardest story to write: hearts and bones
Most unintentionally telling story: I...don’t even want to glance at answering this question, frankly.
Most "OHMIGOD HEY *I* WROTE THAT" fanon-turned-canon-moment: Sticking with my Jon/Sansa answer from last year and crossing my fingers.
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January 2010: Well, wingfic. And this might be the first year I only wrote in one fandom.
Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them? See wingfic. Which I liked writing, but I don’t think I’ll make it a thing. I finally have a fandom with lots of femmeslash pairings that I like writing, which is nice. I feel like my fic got really filthy this year. I’m vaguely embarrassed. It’s those Stark boys and their fresh mouths.

all we have of wings.
No one comments. No one dares. Sansa thinks perhaps it’s something like that tale her lady mother told her, about the King and his clothes, and how every man who saw him wearing nothing thought the fault lay in himself and dissembled to keep his pride. No one wishes to be the first to say that the Lord Protector’s baseborn daughter has grown wings. Wingfic. Look, I don’t know either.

My favorite story this year (my own): You know, I really rather like the wingfic, all we have of wings, particularly since it can be seen as ending either hopefully or really sadly, depending on how you read it.
My best story this year: sword and smith, probably. Maybe. Who knows?
Story most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion: I hate this stupid question. Why I haven’t taken it out yet, I don’t know.
Most fun story: All of the series that I’ve written with
lit_chick08 and jal80 have been super enjoyable to brainstorm and discuss and write (possibly because lit_chick08 and jal80 are both super enjoyable people in general).Sexiest story: heavenly creatures? Maybe thoughts of pretty you and me.
Hardest story to write: hearts and bones
Most unintentionally telling story: I...don’t even want to glance at answering this question, frankly.
Most "OHMIGOD HEY *I* WROTE THAT" fanon-turned-canon-moment: Sticking with my Jon/Sansa answer from last year and crossing my fingers.
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January 2010: Well, wingfic. And this might be the first year I only wrote in one fandom.
Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them? See wingfic. Which I liked writing, but I don’t think I’ll make it a thing. I finally have a fandom with lots of femmeslash pairings that I like writing, which is nice. I feel like my fic got really filthy this year. I’m vaguely embarrassed. It’s those Stark boys and their fresh mouths.
