tarotgalSorry it took SO LONG to post this. Seems I'm starting off the year behind... which seems somewhat fitting.

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.

I'm not going to do the write-up like usual this year, because I don't have the time or energy to go through and reread everything in order to choose my best, favorite, worst, least appreciated, etc. But I am going to write a short summary. It was a good year of fic-writing. I'm happy to see such an even distribution of ratings; this was the first year I kept track of that and the sexual content within my fics. Obviously, May was again my heaviest month for fics, because of the Harry Potter fest I write a story a day for. Without the snow drabbles, I only managed to write ONE fic just for me. Which kind of sucks. But I did fill one or two of my own prompts, so I guess that sort of counts as well. I'm happy with a lot of the fics I wrote and for hosting two comment fic memes this year as well as participating in others. I'm super proud of November; though I didn't get any fics posted that month, I did a great deal of writing.
In 2015, my writing goals are:
Past years: Year 2008, Year 2009, Year 2010, Year 2011, Year 2012, Year 2013

In 2015, my writing goals are:
- I want to finish my 12 Fics in 12 Days project, which I'm sorry is taking so long.
- I want to have at least one thing to workshop every month at Writers' Roundtable, even if it's something old just to have something to share
- I want to edit and post my NaNo fic.
- I want to edit and write a lot more Strokes stories. I've been thinking about those boys a lot lately and I wish I had more time to write them... so I want to make time for them and self publish a small volume of stories of theirs for my own sake.
- I definitely want to do another comment fic meme in April! I hope everyone will join me in it!
- I want to keep track in a spreadsheet of all the fanfics I read this year.
- Speaking of reading fanfic, I want to be MUCH better about leaving feedback after reading, even if it has to be super quick.
- I want to get into some new fandoms and write for them.
- And... this is the big one... I want to pick up at least five unfinished fics, finish, and post them. I have hundreds of fics just sitting about, needing attention. I'd love to share them, but I have to finish them in order for that to happen. For this, finishing chapters of chapterfics counts as well ("Too Many Cooks", I'm looking at you).
