My fic & art review of 2010

[bluespirit]

So, that flew by! Goodbye 2010 & hello 2011!

Here's a review of my creativity from the past year.


The stats:

Stories: 21
Words: ~ 93,500 (Wow! That's over 20,000 more than last year!)
Manips: 22
Cartoons: 7
Icon sets: 4
Fanmixes: 1
Fandoms: 5 (if you count Hewligan as a separate fandom from SGA? If not - 4! *g*)

I'd like to thank everyone who has encouraged & helped me during this year - especially my wonderful team of betas.
*hugs*
Thank you. ♥

My personal highlights:
'Time and tide ~ a love story with interruptions for murder' I finally wrote my 30s murder mystery!
'Hello, my name is…' The final story in my Movie Night Series - short but so much fun! *g*
'Lionel's story' Because I ♥ Lionel & young!Emmett so very much...

Disappointments:
I spent much of 2010 working on two very long stories for Big Bangs - 'Time & Tide' & 'Lionel's story' - & I felt somehow disconnected from fandom during that time. Lots of new people were coming into SGA but I wasn't actively posting anything & I felt kind of out of things & pretty much invisible. I can't say that the feeling has gone away either. And, despite me naming both of those stories as personal highlights (in terms of the writing experience & how pleased I was with the way they turned out) I have to admit that I was disappointed with the reception they got. :(

Moving into 2011:
I have several Hawaii Five-O projects (fic & art) that I'm going to work on. The main one being writing the angsty, not-quite-a-harlequin novella to go with this! ♥
I also have a list of McShep story outlines I'd like to write.
I'm also modding two Valentine art exchanges - h5oartvalentine & sgaartvalentine which should keep me pretty busy! :)

Time and tide ~ a love story with interruptions for murder Lord John Sheppard was no stranger to the business of murder, but he’d hardly expected to find it on a weekend in the country. But murder it was, and what’s more, Rodney McKay was the prime suspect. Can John find the real murderer and, in the process, prove McKay’s innocence? Time is running out, and he’ll need all of his famous sleuthing skills – and McKay’s help – to keep the man he’s falling in love with from the hangman’s noose. An Atlantis AU written as an homage to the murder mystery novels of the 1930s. PG-13 (~41,000 words)
