| Year in Review I: Consumption |
[25 Jan 2009|12:19am] |
I usually get these done earlier in the month, but I had to attend to my Yuletide story first. Speaking of which, I'd like to say thank you to BD Black and Andrea, whose comments were not e-mailed to me, leaving me nowhere to respond to. I haven't split this up before, but I tracked TV/movies as well as books/comics, plus I spent the first half of 2008 working less than full-time, thus my consumption habits got a little out of control.
( Books of 2008 )
( Comics of 2008 )
( TV of 2008 )
( Movies of 2008 )
Let's see, I definitely read less comics. I flirted with the tragically not-really-gay Criminal Minds. I fell hard for Marimite, then tried and failed to find another yuri-ish series I liked. I quit SGA. I got suckered back into (and then quit) Grey's. I tried and quit South of Nowhere again. I finished the great DCAU and Xena (re)watches. I started watching Kim Possible (still need to see the last season). I watched Dexter and Slings & Arrows. I finally clicked with 30 Rock. I finally saw the Indiana Jones movies. I also beat Guitar Hero III (on easy), BioShock, and the first two Phoenix Wright games.

[25 Jan 2009|01:32am] |
I wrote (what is by my standards) a ton of fic in 2008: I broke 10,000 words! (Word says 10,221, to be exact.) Okay, half of that was written in 2007 and then polished and posted in January, but whatever. Here's the breakdown:
Battlestar Galactica
Between the Dark and the Dream, Laura/Lee, R. Began 05/03/07; finished 01/27/08; posted 01/27/08. 4,760 words.
The Facts of Life
Dos and Don'ts, gen, PG. Began circa 12/16/07; finished 01/25/08; posted 01/31/08. 265 words.
B'nai B'rith, Eastland Chapter, gen, PG. Began circa 12/17/07; finished 01/25/08; posted 01/31/08. 339 words.
The Burn Book, Blair/Jo, PG. Began 01/25/08; finished 02/01/08; posted 02/01/08. 1,062 words.
Xena: Warrior Princess
To add a richer strain, Xena/Gabrielle, PG-13. Began 05/31/08; finished 07/15/08; posted 07/15/08. 1,228 words.
Indiana Jones
The Charm, Indy/Marion, NC-17. Began 11/15/08; finished 12/19/08; posted 12/25/08. 2,567 words.
Who knew that my two longest stories would be het? It still blows my mind that I wrote 2,500 words of hetsmut—of Indiana Jones, no less, which I hadn't even seen until this year. ( Self-indulgent navel-gazing about writing that fic, plus perhaps more widely applicable thoughts on Indiana Jones ) I also released two fanmixes, one for Cold Case 2x22 "Best Friends" and one for BioShock. I still identify as a vidder; I guess I should actually vid.
