fic trackback: 2009
2 0 0 9 fic meme
total word count: lmfao i'm not even attempting to figure this one out. let's just say it's in the hundred thousands and leave it at that.
fandoms written in: primarily big bang, attempted (and have yet to post) 2pm, other yg family like 2ne1 and teddy and kush, one little doojoon-centric b2st drabble for seouldout, fahrenheit, a ton of original fic
favorite fic: the placebo effect | i'm not sure why i like this one so much, and i guess in terms of technicalities it's not perfect either or anything. i just felt like it was surprisingly easy to write and i succeeded in conveying every single thing i wanted to, which is rare when i write.
best fic: c i t i e s | i had a huge message i wanted to write out in this one, and i tried new techniques and went deeper than just a fic about love, or death, or etc. i like how epic it turned out? and how it was a complete mindfuck but how you were able to interpret different things from it depending on what you personally saw. lmfao ok i'm giving myself too much credit.
most underappreciated fic: awake | only because nobody on my flist really reads fahrenheit m/m. this is kind of sad though because awake is another one of my favorites and i think it really marked a turning point in my writing, sort of? before that i had never written anything like this. and it came relatively easy as well - no big rewrites/edits of anything.
most fun fic: blonds have it better | obviously. well it was between this and alphabet soup, but this one won because i had too much fun thinking up text messages and everybody's writing styles, and seungri's amount of fail. the srs bsns parts were a little hard to insert in just because the rest of the fic is ridiculous, but yea.
sexiest fic: mercury in my veins | still ongoing. i think this one wins by default because i don't normally write smut and this has it. lmfao. plus there's the whole world of drugs and alcohol and deception and grunge and such. sexy? :D?
fic that shifted my own perception of the character/s: the way we were | thinking up this fic just made me expand upon seungri's character. i think it was all because i wanted to write this that i started un-hating him because i realized he was more like me than i thought. (which is kind of scary.)
fic i'm most proud of: c i t i e s | again. for the same reasons.
biggest disappointment: the sky is falling | it was between this and the pinocchio folk which i still have no idea why people like so much... um anyway, this was supposed to be a reflection on jiyong's growing older, and hardly anybody knows about it which is okay because i just hate how blocky and unorganized and essay-like it got. :|
biggest surprise: the way we were | again. i was going to say c i t i e s a third time but this one because i didn't know people's reactions to this would be this great. i actually thought it was kind of just whatever. so i'm glad people liked it so much that it even got recced on bulchibyung.
hardest fic to write: symphonetic | LAMOGSSLKD. this fic gave me fuckin endless grief like you would not believe. it's my own fault, i said i'd post part 2 in two days and then i changed the concept over and over and just got continuously stuck :|. actually, mercury is pretty hard to write too :'|
fic i want remembered: c i t i e s | lmfao. i guess when i'm proud of something, i'm really proud of something.
goals for 2010: be more versatile in style and try more things than just angst. i like where i'm going with stories like alphabet soup and symphonetic, so i hope i can keep the weird ideas coming, but also on the flipside be able to write band fic. i want to branch out in fandom (maybe just yg fandom, and 2pm, but you know).

32 steps to coming back together by primroseshows | 2pm, jay-leaving fic
this one is long, but it's so, so worth it. after jay left i went on a hunting spree for goodfic (how masochistic am i) about it and this is one of the only good ones i found. it made me cry. and i almost never cry in fic.
the morning after by gdgdbaby | big bang, gd/top
okay honestly i was going to choose something else but this one is just. the dialogue is genius. gd is hilarious. the ending is hilariously cute. and i always go back to this one. so sorry lucy, but i love this one. the end.
motivation by cupcake4mafia | big bang, top/taeyang
everything about this is so perfect, and natural, and omg the ending killed me. every single person's characterizations are also spot-on, which is hard to do in a fic that's borderlining humor.
fucked-up plans by bitterwhitejam | big bang, gd/top, haru haru mv based
deceptively simple. i love her take on it and how it's pulled off based on top's emotions rather than concentrating on the setting. my heart broke for him in it. :(
diaspora oratorio by butterflyweb & rawthorne | big bang, gd/top (and taeyang/boa, daesung/hyori)
so. so. so good. the collab is pretty famous in big bang ficdom, and through this fic (though i loved a measure of salvation too) you can definitely see why. they are better than some published authors i've read. the au is very fitting, gd as a cursed leader of a post-apocalyptic world tribe and top as his slave.
car crash hearts by cranperryjuice | big bang, gd/top
this is why josh is great. because he has all the guy's characterizations and their relationships with each other down in his head and he's able to invite all of us into his headspace through his fic, too. ACK this is just everything in my personal canon of gd/top ever, epitomized in one fic. i LOVE this one.
a little privacy by quirke | big bang/2ne1, top/bom
the whole fic was just so, so cute. like bom. all of big bang and the 2ne1 girls are in this, with a side of gd humor as usual that made me laugh. i wanted to be a part of big bang and 2ne1's world because of this fic. i'm not sure if i believe in the pairing but she made a hell of a case for it.
shadowplay by jandi | big bang, gd/top, incomplete
i dont even care that she hasn't finished it yet, the details of this fic really get me. she has an attention for just the right amount to put in and make real, and i love her version of top and how she rarely lets gd, flamboyant personality and all, outshadow him. i'm waiting for you to finish, melissa.
baby, baby by noelliex | big bang, gd/seungri
i know this wasn't written in 2009 but i found it in 09 so it counts. this one made me shiver, and cry like a baby. lmfao ok this is not making a good case for "i rarely cry in fic". i'm just so impressed by the amount she manages to say in such a little space. so haunting and real and probably the best deathfic i've ever read. PLEASE DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO GD.
