Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you'd predicted? More! I'm really pleased that I was able to pass my goal.

What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January? The only really unpredictable things were canons I hadn't watched yet.

What's your own favorite story of the year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you happiest? Makes me happiest? Oh god, next year I need to purge this meme for wording that doesn't jive with me. Um. I was quite thrilled with What birds have vanished one by one. And popularity doesn't… really ever factor in.

Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them? Writing as much as I did was a risk, and pinch hits are always questionable as far as time constraints go.

Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the New Year? I do indeed. See above.
