2013
2013 was the worst year of fic.
STATS:
fics: 3 (lmfaoooo this is so laughable)
krystal/kai: 2
myungzy: 1
ships: i don't even know, i have so many, sometimes i don't even know who they are but i ship them
gen pieces: 3
threesomes: 1 (does sulli/krystal/kai count? i don't even think the fic i wrote constitutes as a threesome)
female POV: 1
male POV: 2
most written characters: Krystal
most written ship: Krystal/Kai
OVERALL:
Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you'd predicted?
Jesus christ, no. I thought I wrote so much more, but I really only wrote THREE. I wrote much less, it takes me so long to write!
Did you take any writing risks this year?
Ooooh yes. Shipping Krystal/Kai was a huge risk, and another risk was writing my first ot3 (sort of). Writing in a female POV was also new, I always found writing in a male POV was so much more interesting.
Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the New Year?
Yes! Finish all the fics I already have planned WITHOUT coming up with more prompts. They're all tucked in privated posts and I just leave them there.
BEST AND WORST:
My best story of this year:
hey, lolita, hey which I wrote for my boo, douc. Ah, I loved this one so much, particularly because it had that wanderlust/lolita feel that I always wanted. Plus I loved writing Krystal's relationship with Sulli, and I loved the imagery with it! I was so discouraged after that one, and I was always disappointed whenever I wrote anything.
My most popular story of this year:
Sadly, electrolyte bloom. I don't understand why, I hated this one so much.
Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion:
HEY, LOLITA, HEY WILL ALWAYS BE THE MOST UNDER-APPRECIATED. It has such a big spot in my heart, ugh.
Most fun story to write:
hey, lolita, hey alwaaaayssss
Story with the single sexiest moment:
None. I literally never do sexy anything.
Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters:
douc's fic, draw fictions on the wall. I've always written Suzy as that girl that was naïve and innocent, like the sweet girl in all of the k-dramas. But reading that made me see her more of a heartbreaker that all the boys went for.
Hardest story to write:
electrolyte bloom bleeeeh
Biggest disappointment:
electrolyte bloom bleeeeh
Biggest surprise:
I got into Kai/Krystal, when I thought I would never. I also got into Finnick/Annie when I thought I would never get into anything The Hunger Games related.
Most unintentionally telling story:
I... don't know.
WIP TEASERS: (I'M ALL UP ON THIS)
summertime sadness - krystal + sulli (backstory to hey, lolita, hey; back to when they first met and their trouble-making afterwards)
She was a fountain of blood in the shape of a girl, as Bjork said. And really, all teenage girls are like that, Krystal presumes. She was angry - angry all the time.
loveboat to night china - krystal + kai (casablanca au in hong kong)
"I'm hard to get," Krystal lights a smoke. "All you have to do is ask."
the state of garden dreaming - suzy + myungsoo (kimi ni todoke au - with some shut up! flower boy band mixed in - just for uljima!)
She is his sweet-eyed Arabella, knee socks high, lips candied peach and hiding secrets and a kiss in their very corners, as always. Suzy, pronounced Soo-ji, written Suji, whispered as the high school heartbreaker and the dancing little Coppola dream. And, in the corner of every sane boy's mind, she is.
comme des garçons - g-dragon + t.o.p (backstory to when they were younger)
Later, they became invested with cigarettes and alcohol instead, them pulling cigarettes out of small boxes as if they were in a hurry to cough up lungs and blood, Zippo attached to hand. The pattern never changed as they grew older, only their palettes became more refined and elevated. Old habits die hard, Jiyong would justify. Instead of Marlboros and Luckys, they had cigars and Sobranie Pinks. Instead of soju and corner beers, they had wines and Cristal champagnes.
persephone's valentine - nana + jaejoong (spin-off of uljima's if you're scared of wolves, don't go to the woods)
Always draped in silks and chiffon, layers of translucent milky sheets, a flutter of a veil to top it off. She looked loveliest with a maroon lip, her icy blonde contrasting the dark shades she dressed herself in. Especially in the moonlight, where the sun's reflection would flicker off of her hair. It must be envious of such beauty, he thought.
raconte-moi une histoire - suzy + myungsoo (victorian-era au where everyone has a watch that tells the time they have to live left, myungsoo grows younger, and suzy's a curious little girl)
If you looked up into the branches, you could practically see the fates spreading their infinite arms and reach for unknown souls. There are no funerals. They just hang their watches on branches and everything they could find.
"Hey, this is my spot," she waited for a patient millisecond before tugging on his trousers once again. "This is my spot."
"I was here first," he brushed her hand from his body. "Get lost."
window - g-dragon + t.o.p (after big bang disbands, gd gets into contact with t.o.p, and finds some distressing news)
"I don't want to die," he cringes at the mere touch of the word. "I don't want to fucking die." But, he guesses, it's what he deserves. Packets of cigarettes and a lighter caught him early, poisoned his lungs. The sheer minute of ecstasy in a cloud of nicotine and tobacco seemed so good then.
OTHER PLANNED FICS:
the trial of the century - suzy + myungsoo (myungsoo and suzy are best friends who end up stealing everything from everyone; bonnie and clyde au, except in modern times)
gods and their muses - yoona + changmin (yoona is the leader of one of the anarchist groups in a dystopian russia, changmin is the kgb officer sent to find who murdered the tsar's daughter-in-law)
pandora's box of fics - yoona + changmin, jessica + jaejoong, suzy + myungsoo (yoona/changmin - the little mermaid; jessica/jaejoong - alice in wonderland; suzy/myungsoo - red riding hood)
love looks not with the eyes - krystal + kai (the royal tenenbaums au)
