Dear 2009, Good Riddance!!
Dec. 31st, 2009 08:45 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
errant_janeMy roommate and I were talking about the things we were doing to prepare for 2010. I was going to take a bath and shave (Hi, New Year! I greet you with hairless legs!) and we were talking about how 2009 could kindly suck it. Then I said, "That's assuming that I don't nick an artery and bleed out in the tub" and she was like, "Or that we aren't smothered by snot in our sleep"
Srsly, 2009 can SUCK IT!
True stories, this year started with our freezer in the basement breaking and me cleaning out all the thawed (and thoroughly rotten) food. And then our dryer broke. Within the first three days of the year. And then the glass on our front door when it was like sixteen degrees out. It went downhill from there. I AM OVER YOU, 2009! You are DEAD TO ME!!
I'm staying home tonight a)because I'm sick and b) to lessen my chances of being punched in the throat by 2009 in its flaily, vile death throes.
The good thing that happened was that I re-discovered my fannish love and y'all! Thus, fannish memes (seen pretty much everywhere):
Your main fandom of the year?
Supernatural, SHOW OF MY HEART!!!
Your favourite film watched this year?
I have no idea. (Sorry, Trekkies! It just never wooed me!)
Your favourite book read this year?
The Time Travelers Wife, maybe?
Your favourite album or song to listen to this year?
1372 Overton Park (a.k.a. The new Lucero album because it's awesome and everything a good rock album should be!)
Your favourite TV show of the year?
Um, Supernatural.
Your favourite LJ community of the year?
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
wrisomifu. Even though I crapped out halfway through the month, the whole thing was still a lot of fun.
Your best new fandom discovery of the year?
PODFIC! Seriously. No, seriously!!! I discovered it when I went home to visit my parents and traveling has been entirely more EPIC and AWESOME ever since. ♥
Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?
No surprise!JDM on S5 (SO FAR! I hold out hope...)
Your TV boyfriend of the year?
Sam? No, Dean. No, Sam. Dean? DAMMIT, THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS!!
Your TV girlfriend of the year?
Dani Reese. She's soooooooooooo AWESOME!!
Your biggest squee moment of the year?
Wincon Prom, end of the night in which everyone was on the dance floor singing along to Carry On My Wayward Son. Coolest. Moment. Ever. Seriously, every time I hear that song, I get all misty-eyed thinking of it. WAY TO BE ENTIRELY AWESOME, FANDOM!!!
The most missed of your old fandoms?
They have all been eclipsed by Supernatural. Sad but true.
The fandom you haven't tried yet, but want to?
I seem to be somewhat fannishly monogamous. Nothing else has pinged me even remotely the way SPN did/has. I have no desire to stray at the moment.
Your biggest fan anticipations for the New Year?
New episodes! SAMANDDEAN!!! WINCON!! IDK. Unicorns?
And the fanfic meme:
My best story of this year: Hmmm. I'm going to go with Though There's Nothing Left to Say. It was my first foray back into Wincest and I'm really, really pleased with how it turned out.
My most popular story of this year: Pretty sure that'd be Fandom is Srs Bznz. Ha! Okay, that story still amuses me.
Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion: Pretty much anything Gen. *g* But that's not unexpected. I think maybe specifically In These Losing Fights. It's angsty Dean! Who doesn't love that?
Most fun story to write: Again, I'm gonna go with Fandom is Srs Bznz. I had a good time plotting and world-building with that one. Oh! I also had fun with the pinch I did for thedeancas_xmas, which I can't link to because it's still anonymous! Ha!
Story with the single sexiest moment: Ack! I have a hard time judging this one. Actually, I'm going to go with the last section to this part of my As-of-yet-untitled Misha series. *nods*
Most "Holy crap, that's wrong, even for you" story: Um, I guess maybe the one where I turned Misha into a unicorn on his birthday?
Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: This is a weird question. I guess maybe So Far Gone in that I think it shifted (or maybe expanded) my perception of Castiel.
Hardest story to write: Just Give Up and Admit You're an Asshole, definitely. It sat in my WiP folder for months and months and months! And then when I got around to finishing it, it just kept going. IDEK.
Biggest Disappointment: The Storm Is Rolling In. *sigh* It was the first actual story I attempted to write after two-something years of not writing at all. I just didn't have the chops to pull it off the way I wanted.
Biggest Surprise: Just Give Up and Admit You're an Asshole. I don't even know where that one came from. I sad down and wrote the first 1000 or so words one day after work and then let it languish. I have a whole other WiP based off of that story that is Welling/Hartley.
Most Unintentionally Telling Story: When It's Done. ♥ It reveals my soft Sam/Dean underbelly of schmoopy romantic...um, schmoopyness. I'm a Happily Ever After girl at heart, what can I say?
Fic-writing goals for 2010: Finish my As-of-yet-untitled Misha series. And the WiP I started before the holiday craziness came a bitch-slappin'. That's about it for now, I think.

Ha! Changing Channels is on. OH SHOW, HOW R U SO AWESOME?

Date: 2010-01-01 03:54 am (UTC)I'll second that. Mwah. Although I also kinda melt every time I read the last two parts of the trailer-sex parts in the useful illusions series. The moments where they realise that more is going on than they both thought? Gah. Gets me EVERY time I read them. *shiver*
