Fic Writing 2015

Total Word Count: 132,051 words.
Fandoms Written In: EXO and EXO/GOT7

What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January?
LuKai. I like all Kai pairings, but KaiSoo and ChenKai are my main ones. So, it surprised me how much I loved writing Story of Our Lives!

What's your own favorite story of the year?
Twenty Paces Away // ChenKai // Scifi// R // 43k

Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?
I wrote a horror story called The Red Dancer (ChanKai). Wrote it in first person POV and from a dead person's perspective. It was really emotional.

Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the new year?
I'm done with fanfics starting 2016 and working on original novels again with the aim of publishing :)
 

From my past year of writing, what was…

My best story of this year: Twenty Paces Away
My most popular story of this year: Baby, I've Got You
Most fun story to write: Story of Our Lives
Story with the single iest moment: It's not even , but there's a scene in a walk-in closet in Baby, Please that makes me swoon hard x.x
Most "holy crap, that's wrong, even for you" story: You Can Play is a Tao/Jackson & Suho/Tao story with pet play and and I just...wow, yeah.
Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: Playful Haunting! It's parents SeKai, so I had to made then grownups but still fun and dorky and fail xD
Hardest story to write: It has to be Baby, Please. The characters are going through a situation that doesn't put them in good light, so they come off as whiny and childish and all sorts of bad stuff, and not many people liked it because of it. But that's real life!
Biggest surprise: Without A Voice (With All the Heart) is a KaiSoo mermaid!au story that I so did not plan for. I was just thinking of ideas to tweetfic and this came up and suddenly I had more than a couple of sections done and a full oneshot!


Favorite Opening Lines / Introductions~

My Faire Dragon

The Great Wizard Wu Yifan and his oh-so-unhelpful but pretty apprentice Luhan head into the Lost Forest. It is named as such because everyone who goes in is lost and if they’re not, they lose and change their ways. This isn’t so bad sometimes.


The Red Dancer

The events that have transpired this night will be talked about, like all great and terrible stories, for years after I'm gone. Future generations will mourn and say how horrible it was, how unfortunate at such a young age, how unfair…but they'd be wrong.

I am Prince Chanyeol…

Excuse me.

I was Prince Chanyeol.


Favorite Closing Lines~

Pink Tutu

Jongin’s laugh is full and free, and it makes the butterflies in Kyungsoo’s stomach flutter at maximum speed. “I’d love to.”


Twenty Paces Away

Kai nuzzles his face against Chen’s, brushing his nose against those sharp cheekbones. “Twenty paces.”

Chen shivers in his arms, and with a chuckle, says, “Closer if you let me.”


Favorite 5 Line(s) from Anywhere:

Story of Our Lives

Jongin is disheveled and a little bit flushed, looking completely able. “I don’t understand,” he says, a taunting smirk on his lips. “What did I do now?”

“Allow me to show you.” Luhan takes Jongin’s ice cream covered hand, opens his mouth, and starts to the fingers clean of the sugary stickiness, shoving some into his mouth to at them. When the hand is clean, he disengages with a pop.

Jongin’s eyes have darkened, pupils blown wide. “.”

Exactly.” Luhan’s mouth is on Jongin’s a second after the curse word drops. 


Top 5 Scenes from Anywhere You Would Choose to Have Illustrated:
1. Pink Tutu: The scene where Jongin is posing all pregnant with the tutu TT^TT
2. Twenty Paces Away: Chen and Kai in the Resilient during the battle of Houses Vorcia and Cieranus would make a kickass poster!
3. Twenty Paces Away: Chen and Kai enjoying themselves at Trille's welcome back festival, so sweet!
4. Story of Our Lives: Not exactly a scene in the story, but ChenKai cuddling on a sofa with Kai's puppies and Luhan's cat Bubbles around them /sobs
5. Star Whale: Kyungsoo and Kai inside the ship and looking out at the star whale <3


New year's resolutions: To keep writing and keep challenging myself!
