arcanelegacySo I have an actual list to look back on, New Year's Resolutions!
...I tried to be honest and realistic about things I could honestly achieve, which means I have very few things on this list.
1. Write (at least) 100 words of origific a day.
2. Finish a draft of at least one novel before December 31st, 2012
3. Step up job search
4. Make headway on In-Progress Fic (I'd really like to finish it all, but I have to be realistic here.)
ALSO:
DAY ONE: In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator.
Platinum
Movie!verse; Assumes Tony/Pepper has been established for some time. One-Shot. Set after Iron Man 2.
Tony decides it's time to take his relationship with Pepper to the next level. But he doesn't have a ring, so he ropes Rhodey into helping him find one. Rhodey is, of course, thrilled.
Livejournal | Fanfiction.net
Possibly my favorite Iron Man fic so far. I really loved writing Rhodey and his frustrated exasperation with Tony, and this story let me play with a very different part of the characters than I generally saw in the fandom. It's also the first fic anyone ever wanted to write a sequel to, and continues to get feedback to this day.
Sleeping Arrangements
Resident Evil; Chris/Jill. One-Shot. Post-RE5.
There’s a lot to figure out after Kijuju. But first there is the simple matter of sleeping arrangements.
Livejournal | Fanfiction.net
My personal favorite of my Resident Evil one-shots. Though there's a lot about it I'd like to rewrite (mostly the glaring 'panes' vs. 'pains' typo in the first sentence on the ff.net version, ack) and fix to match with my current writing style, I am still pretty proud of the way this one came together.
Back In Your Head
Movie!verse; Gen. One-Shot. Set during the first movie, sometime after Tony returns from the Middle East.
Sleep does not come easily to Tony Stark anymore. Thoughts do, though. Consuming thoughts. Bad thoughts. But buried underneath all of those thoughts, there might be a good idea.
Livejournal | Fanfiction.net
Probably my most underrated (IMO) fics. I really love this one a lot, but I'm not entirely sure why. It's more introspective than my other fics, and only involves Tony - who, though I do love writing from his POV, is probably my weakest Iron Man voice. (And, really, given the choice I'd write Pepper, Rhodey, or Happy over Tony, but some things just need to be from one specific POV.)
DAY TWO Post a rec for at least three fanworks that you didn't create.
Plant Life by Ginger Ninja
Fandom: Star Trek
A new world promises medical advancements previously unthought of, but Kirk is attacked and begins to succumb to delusions at an alarming rate. But what if there's a deeper meaning to his hallucinations?
Plant Life @ Fanfiction.net
Possibly one of my favorite Star Trek fics ever. The author also posted the fic on LJ and I do have it bookmarked, but it's on my other computer and I don't have immediate access to it right now and it's not even the point. The point is, this fic is fantastic. It's wonderfully written, completely in character, fits canon wonderfully, is thrilling, tense, and gives me all kinds of FEELINGS. It's gen (which makes it even more awesome IMO) and includes the entire crew in epic Enterprise adventures. I had to read it all in one sitting (which was difficult, as the fic hadn't quite been finished by the time I stumbled across it) and kept checking back for updates, I was so hungry for more.
Magic at Midnight by Always-a-Queen (livejournal link)
Fandom: Once Upon A Time
“You wished upon a silver fairy, and all you wanted was snow.”
Magic at Midnight @ livejournal
An adorable, short, Fantasy World fic featuring Snow White and Prince Charming. Beautifully written with an adorable idea, completely in-character, charming (no pun intended but let's pretend I'm witty), and all around fabulous. The pairing is already one of my faves and this fic just adds to their individual characters. I adore the idea that Snow always gets snow on Christmas because of a wish, and I love how that ties into canon so well, giving readers a wonderful possible reason why it seems to snow around Snow White.

(No posted summary)
He Likes Snow @ livejournal
Another Once Upon a Time fic because I cannot get enough of this fandom quite yet, and it seems like everyone in it produces fabulous stuff. This one is a Prince Charming/David Nolan centric fic and goes over some of his thoughts regarding Snow White/Mary Margaret Blanchard as well as his feelings. There are some spoilers for later episodes, but if you're all caught up it's a delightful read and even makes mention of Henry being Henry, which I am completely in love with.
