Happy new year!

It's already January 2 around here, but better late than never, huh?

Anyway, I only have one resolution this year -- keep track of how much I write, month by month. Then maybe I can figure out how much or how little I actually write, and find a realistic goal to aim for, and get motivated by watching the little bar fill up. I like progress bars. u.u

I also hope to complete Teamwork 3 but I'm not going to make any promises, we all know what happens when i say "oh it's only x more chapters/scenes, should be done soon".

TOTAL: 151 400 words.

It would feel more impressive if it wasn't almost all spread out into tiny sidefics and random crack instead of as chapters on my multiparts. DX I mean, random crack is fun, but I'm kind of shocked at how few of my multiparts I added chapters to this year. Also, no big oneshots? Wut?

That's about 12 000 words a month. Slightly less. Which considering that I spent half my nano doing jack shit and still ended up doing twice that much (nano story + crap i wrote to avoid working on nano story) really proves that I could afford to put the bar higher. But I know myself and my need for long periods of laziness. So I think for January I'll place the bar at 20 000 and see what happens. (half of which HAS TO BE one of my multiparts, damn it. >:O That's an order, self.)


Leitmotif of the year: Apparently it was the year of random crack.

Overall Thoughts: AUGH UPDATE THE DAMN MULTIPARTS. DX DAMN IT SELF.

My best story of this year: ... Hm. I like ff7!Enemy Skill so far. It's all mostly plotting though.

My favorite story of this year: Teamwork, the current arc. *tries not to cackle evilly*

Story of mine most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion: I don't know, I tend to always be very lucky in matters of appreciation. ♥♥♥

Most fun story to write: Laundry Emergency. fufufu sasuke and naruto doing naked apron~

Story with the single sexiest moment: that goddamn Teamwork 2 epilogue. Mmh.

Most "Holy crap, that's wrong, even for you" story: *PONDERS* There was this story where Karin was going prrt at the thought of Sasuke's hand on her organs, but it was only a quick reference... I'm sure there's something else but right now I can't remember.

Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: The ChiChi story. I'm really making myself like her there, she went from "harpy wife I don't care about woohoo saiyajins" to "... fierce!! ♥"

Hardest story to write: Restore. Teamwork. It's a toss-up. They keep throwing me sexy, sexy plot and then I go to write it out and it's like pulling nails and hello plotholes to fix and whole blocks of story to throw away and redo from the ground up. Eeeevil.

Biggest Disappointment: ...I dunno.

Biggest Surprise: Dunno, there too. I don't tend to be very surprised by my stories. I plan them out too much. XD;;

Most Unintentionally Telling Story: No idea. *scratches chin* I guess there's that trend for polyamorous shipping, but I don't even know if I could be poly IRL, so...

Story I haven't yet written, but intend to: ...let us concentrate on the pile of stories I've started and not completed yet, yeah? >__>



Anyway, multiparts I have to add at least one chapter to before next year or else I fail forever:
-Newtype
-Enemy Skill
-the DBZ thing
-Crossed Wires

Multiparts I have to add AT LEAST TWO chapters to or else I fail forever:
-Teamwork
-Restore

Also, fix the 2009nano story and Mermaids in Space already. >:(

Bad phraseology. *poke* I'm not whipping you, I'm poking you. *poke* Whipping would be too distracting. *poke* Also painful. *poke* I'm not that mean. *poke*
