The year in fic - 2009

Hmmm ... 2009. I wasn't very fannish this year; I tried brief dalliances with other fandoms (Wiseguy, Being Human) but, while I do love these shows, I keep circling back around to SGA in the end.

I posted ~62,000 words of fanfic in 2009 not counting the fics not yet revealed; it jumps to roughly 106,000 words when I add in the fics I wrote for [livejournal.com profile] sga_santa and Yuletide. This sounds pretty good except that well over half the fic I wrote this year was written, or at least posted, in the month of December - that kinda puts the year in perspective. I've had a pretty good year in RL, but as far as fandom is concerned, this year has been bloody depressing (except for Writercon; Writercon was made of awesome) and I'm kind of looking forward to a less depressing 2010. Fair warning: quite a bit of the fic I wrote this year is kinda depressing, too. (For comparison, I wrote about 200,000 words of fic in 2008, and that was down a lot from the previous two years because of the general lack of long stories!)

On the other hand, I was also massively busy this year in RL, which did cut severely into my fanning time (noooo!) and probably affected my mood as well; consequently, I have been having a very nice fan-time over the holiday ... and Being Human comes back soon! Also, while I could write a whole essay here about my tortured and conflicted fan-relationship with SGA, I'm kinda at a place right now where I figure that it is what it is, and despite wanting to cuff them upside the heads frequently, I still love my pretty team. So. :)

Also, compared to the year I know some people have had, this year has been an absolute cakewalk for me ... which means I feel awfully petty whining about what is probably nothing more than temporary fandom-related and stress-related depression when I have little else to complain about, and an awful lot of things to be thankful for - including all of you people out there in LJ(and DW)-land. Happy New Year, everybody! Here's hoping for a good 2010.

Happy New Year! May this fandom year bring more of the fun and less of the other stuff.

*toasts*

Getting to meet you at Writercon was one of the best parts of this past fandom year. :)

Your output continues to amaze me, even if it's low for you this year.

If you're inclined to feel petty for whining, just think of Rodney and realize how very much more whining you could be doing! Happy New Year!

LOL, yes, but Rodney is not supposed to be a role model! Happy new year. :)

Happy New Year back at you! Writercon was completely awesome, and I still think it's awfully cool that I got to meet and hang out with you even though we live half a world apart. Yay for fandom!

Happy New Year; I hope the year brings you all kind of good things (like the previous year did!). ♥

Rodney is not supposed to be a role model!
Shoot. I wish someone had told me that about six years ago. . . .
