( F is for Conspiracy )

People usually do the summary at the end of the year, or beginning of another... well I'm counting the time a little bit different, you know its Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey...Stuff* sooo last year I did a summary of my writing in March, on first anniversary in fandom. As I will not have time later this week I'm speeding up things this year.

So how was my second year as a fanfiction writer - a little bit worse I would say. I've published only 9 fics! In comparison I've done 15 the year before that, plus one of the fics was started last "publishing" year and is still a WIP right now, and I really don't know if I will continue... who knows.

This year I published roughly 35K words not bad, still less than last year. Only three fics this year were less than 1K, two fics were below 2K, and four been over 4K, not bad!!
Last year it was: 41K (whoooha) with one fanfic over 20K, eight fics below 1K, four below 2K, and only two going over 4K.

So I would say, not really so bad, less fics but with more words in average per fic, well not counting the second one that was the longest. But I like to write a little bit longer fics, over 4K is great, so if I manage to write the two longer fics I have now in mind and they will be about 5K each, and I add to that a Case Big Bang I should be till June on 20K mark, I would say not so bad. I would love to write more and I just sometimes can't get myself to just sit and write, cos the ideas are coming anyway...

Last year was also quite the crossover year - two with Stargate SG-1 and one with Discworld. It was also h/c bingo card year that I wasn't able to finish, the two fics I have in my WIP folder right now are still related to the prompts from that card...

I didn't write NaNoWriMo this year.. failing on 5K mark, but one of the fanfictions grew from what I wrote then. Last year I did finish it, but the fic is still waiting for good graces, someone to kick me in the ass and edit it and lot's and lot's of rewriting, every few months I decide to just delete it, to wake up with an idea how to fix it and not really doing anything... well...

There are still some ideas I wasn't able to write, the plot was lost, the idea not as it supposed to be, the bunnies eating the carrot but not really providing any clues... you know how it works.

So I hope I will finish this writing year with at least similar progress. I hope it was a fun year for readers of my fics too, I discovered Diana as a great, kickass character, and that crossovers are fun to write, it seems also that I have some specific topics I like to write - casefic, Peter & Neal father-son/brothers line, I would love to write more Neal/Sara but I stuck at romance. But I'm not bad at writing flashback fic... somehow... and changing POVs really needs more work, but hey it's only second year... yeah second year since I started writing fanfictions in English.

So the list of fics from this year if you missed them:

Peter's Pan Shadow - WIP - magical realism (sort of)

Back In the Game - AU, PG - They knew each other so well no words were needed. Just a picture.

Feeling of Unknown - AU, PG - What did Neal feel before commutation hearing.

Take Your Time to Catch Your Breath (and Choose Your Moment) - PG-13, written for whitecollar h/c Whump-a-Palooza challenge. Diana! This weekend wasn't going according to plan. Not at all.

Seven Devils - NC-17, violence - Sometimes Neal has nightmares he never tells a soul about.

Restoring Balance - PG-13, Crossover with Stargate-SG1 - What connects an Air Force Colonel, an FBI agent and a con man? Neal Caffrey.

Northern Skies - PG, Crossover with Startgate-SG1, belongs to the series with Restoring Balance and Origins of troubles. The world you know can vanish in a blink of an eye.

The Hourglass - PG-13, Crossover with Discworld. Neal meeting Death is not so unusual for him, but not for Peter.

Look No Further - PG-13. Neal looks far away for something that's just around the corner.

And that folks was a year in nieseryjna's writing...
