My favorite story this year (my own): these long summer days. The sort of dreamy, gentle tone of it was exactly what I wanted it to be. I also bizarrely like Scott and Danny looking for guide dogs together.

My best story this year: did i find you, or you find me?.

Story most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion: I don’t know, I don’t think anything deserved way more attention than it got or anything.

Most fun story: Any of the drabbles, probably.

Sexiest story: kid gloves. Short and punchy. And halfway to heaven, still halfway to hell. It’s always fun when Kris is a tease.

Hardest story to write: Danger : Contents Under Pressure.

Most unintentionally telling story: and i’d write you a letter from there is probably the only one that has any of me in it, and not much at that.

Most "OHMIGOD HEY *I* WROTE THAT" fanon-turned-canon-moment: I don’t know. I wrote Kris Allen smoking pot?

What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January 2009: I wasn’t expecting to get into American Idol RPF at all.

Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them? I wrote someone having sex with Danny Gokey. Not sure what I learned from it. Maybe that even Danny Gokey has feelings? At least fictionally.

Ugh my fic writing has diminished so much I can't even do this meme anymore. Your fic writing is impressive, though. Nearly 100k words? NICE.

It's funny, though, I feel like I've barely written at all this year. Not sure why that is.

LOL and yeah, last year it was almost pointless to do it, I think I had, like, 12,000 words or something, compared to over 90K the year before.
