tarotgalThis is my fifth time doing this. Here's Year 2008, Year 2009, Year 2010, & Year 2011 if you want to compare.
There's a key in the expredsheet link below saying where each fic was posted, if there's a fic there you want to read and haven't yet.
Fanfic Year in Review: 2012
Total pieces I wrote this year: 134 (a record for me since I started counting)
Expredsheet list of all: http://tgsrealm.tarotgal.net/yearinreview/FinishedFics12.htm
Fandoms (including crossovers):
Angel-2
Avengers-4
BBC Sherlock-3
Buffy the Vampire Slayer-2
Doctor Who-1
Firefly-1

Horatio Hornblower-3
Jekyll-1
Looking for Alaska-1

NCIS-3
Once Upon a Time-1
Original Characters-5 (1-Boad, 3-Hockey, 1-Strokes)
Supernatural-59+3crossovers=62
Torchwood-4
X-Men-3
Wow. For a fandom I'd never written for before, Supernatural managed to eclipse Harry Potter in number of fics, and that's saying A LOT! I'm amazing and pleased. I wrote for 5 or 6 new fandoms this year (if you count X:Men First-Class as its own thing, which it sort of is).
Challenges, fests, etc. I participated in:
January- 12 Ficlets in 12 Days, SF Annual Sneezefest
February- Porn Battle
March-April- Super-sneezy Supernatural Meme (my own meme)
May- May Madness Ficathon, "Guess what day it is?" comment meme
June- "Guess what day it is?" comment meme, ABC H/C List (personal challenge)
July- ABC H/C List (personal challenge)
August- ABC H/C List (personal challenge), ohsam comment fic meme
September- For Curtain!fic & art Week at hoodie-time, WS Comment Fic Fest (my own meme)
October- sexualoddity’s Sneezy Supernatural Boys Appreciation Society comment meme
November- NaNoWriMo (completed 50,00+ words), sexualoddity’s Sneezy Supernatural Boys Appreciation Society comment meme, hoodie-time Sick!Dean mini challenge 2012
December- 12 Ficlets in 12 Days
Reasons for pieces:
70- Written for fests, challenges, prompts, etc.
44- Written for someone else (request or gift)
20- Written for self, just because
More than usual written just because, and that makes me happy! But it's also awesome I was inspired to write for so many fests/challenges. This year I hosted two comment fic memes--my first time EVER hosting any and it was so much fun I look forward to hosting another (I want to host one every year around my birthday).

I managed to write & post fics during every month this year! *pats self on back*
My Favorite: Oh, um, hmm. Maybe Twenty Questions. It was my first weechester fic and I had fun writing it! I just wanted to snuggle little Dean and Sammy the whole time. Lots of warm fuzzies :-)
I also really love Bouncing Pogo Sticks because I really enjoyed playing in the SPN Hogwarts AU universe and coming up with fun little things to tie the two fandoms together nicely.
Most Proud of: Probably Point Blank. I wrote it based on a prompt, but I thought it turned out really well. It was one of those that just flowed out of me so perfectly; I couldn't be happier with it. And it's not often I write something so serious, but I'm really pleased with what I wrote.
My Best: I am no good at answering this question.
Most Under-Appreciated: Maybe Accio Bottle or Buds Left On the Plant. They stand out in my head because they're more serious types of fics for me and I'm very happy with both of them and want everyone in the world to read them ;-) Also After the Fight because I thought it turned out nicely and has something for Deangirls and Samgirls alike :-)
Most Fun: Maybe Silence because frustrated!Dean and deaf!Sam was lots of fun to play with. Or R is for Reassurance because I fell in love with OCD!Sam and it was so much fun to have Sam bless Dean every single darn time he sneeze. LOL Oh! I know! Back in the Saddle because I wrote that fic in my head for, like, 6 months. It was so much fun to have pop into my head over and over again. Nummy images of Sam in the library and the confrontation in the Impala afterward.
Sexiest: You tell me! LOL Okay, I'm going with With Great Power because of the power dynamics at play and I love writing Nightcrawler jerking Wolvie off with his tail.
Single Sexiest Moment: Addiction because who doesn't love a little sex in the Impala? 2012's Day 5 is a close second because even though there was no sex, Clint dressing Coulson was really intimate.
Holy crap, that's wrong, even for you: Umm. This isn't really a good answer because it's a fic I've wanted to write for AGES so it's totally right for me. But... it is full of lovely kinky wrongness Cold Hard Facts. Combining ponyboying and urophilia... that's gotta be the kinkiest thing I wrote all year, that's for sure.
Fic that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: Protection because I got to play with the dynamics among Sam, Dean, and John. I really, really don't like abusive!John as part of canon but it's funny that those seem to be ones I think turn out really well. I've written him three or four times this year and love all of those fics a lot. Anyway, yeah, it was interesting to see what would happen with Sam looking after a drunk!John all night and Dean looking after Sam for doing that.
Hardest to do:Some outside my major fandoms like S is for Sneezy, M is for Mortality and Day 4 were just really, really hard for me to write because I didn't have a good feel for the characters.
Biggest disappointment: Day 8 to be posted ASAP. I'm really not thrilled with it and I don't understand why it wouldn't cooperate.
Biggest surprise: Oh gosh! Um... Game of Wills because it started out as a little scene and then out of nowhere came a plot!
A story I want remembered: Your choice!
Goals from last year: I didn't submit to any contests, so there's a goal not accomplished. I only finished one Strokes story, which is a disappointment because those POOR guys have been left in limbo for so long. I did make great progress on my NaNonovel, though I didn't get it done. I did, however, get my Hurt/Comfort Bigbang fic beta read and edited to my liking... but then the challenge-makers abandoned it. Guess I should post it somewhere anyway.
Goals for next year: Post my NCIS Bigbang fic so it can be read & enjoyed! Write more Strokes. Like, seriously, I've got to do that. Host another comment fic meme on my LJ in March/April. Write some fanfic for Sons of Anarchy and Lord of the Rings/Hobbit. Archive fics on A3O.
