Things I Have Done
(Finally) posted my Ace Manifesto last week: Fox Mulder, Ace.
(Note to self: you have run into this before, you should remember it by now, if you post an intro post to a very old, very quiet fandom, and mention that it is old and quiet, you *will* get one of the two-dozen still active people showing up in your comments being deeply offended that you didn't mention them specifically.)
And vaguely connected to that, here are two fic recs:![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
zortified has written asexual!Ivan Vorkosigan: Uneasy Lies The Head. I'm not sure how he's done it - that seems even *less* likely than ace!Jack Harkness - but it makes me happy that it has been done, and well. :D
And to prove that vanity googling sometimes works, I just stumbled on a fic that was written based on some old meta of mine, byaria: All That Remains. It is Highlander, Methos genfic, and it is everything I want in Highlander fic. Sometimes I feel like, even if I never write anything again, the amount of awesome fic that's been written based on ideas I just threw out justifies my existence on its own. :D

I have been writing a bit, though. And I've just been reminded that earlier this year, I made a commitment on![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
12in2010 to finish at least 12 stories over 2000 words this year. I think I might actually manage 12 over 1000 words this year, which is shocking enough on its own! But a lot of it's been anon, so it is difficult to keep track of. Here (mostly for myself) is my fic accounting for the year:
Posted, wip, will not finish by end of year:
Hope to finish by end of year:
Starred items were originally written for anon memes. Here's the numbers:
Done and posted: 22000
Projected done and posted for year: 40000
Posted (wip or not) for year: 40400
Posted on anon memes: 27700
Percent of total output to anon memes: 68%
Oh, anon memes, what have you done to me? What I should really do is go through the relevant memes and make a list of stories written to my prompts. But the ratios would be so off that I am afraid to try. (also: would inevitably get distracted re-reading.)
Also these numbers do not include WIPs which were never posted, because that would just look sad. But just for fun, here is list of stories in my "current writing" folder, not on the above list, that have been modified this year:
*the random original het erotica
*the one about Emperor Gregor's half-brother
*ST:Reboot ace!Spock/Uhura
*the Paul/Ian boarding school AU
*the Top Gear/Secret Garden crossover
*the Doctor/Master fic about set theory and Gallifreyan linguistics
*amelia rumford/vivien fay: sex on the rocks
*the one where Doctor McCoy pulls Spock's pigtails, and there is a dance in the bowling alley
*the sequel to the lolitics/temeraire crossover
*the beginning of the Great American Werewolf Novel
*the one where David Mitchell is the Prince of Lies
*the one where Mary's 'dead fiance' was Irene in drag
*the Good Omens Easter story
*Jack Harkness/K's't'lk porn
*the one where Madelyn and Irene gang up on Holmes
*three more T'Kay stories
*the modern-day princesses AU
*the one that's half written in R'lyehian
*the Nano story : economists in space
*Jack Harkness/the Dowager Duchess of Denver
*the zero-gravity Olympics
Plus there are probably some that exist only on paper, I need to go through my note-books for the year, too.
The other thing I pledged to do this year was read and review at least 100 books. I think I've managed the 'read' part, given a broad enough definition of the word 'book.' Review... well, I still have almost a month to finish the reviews! (I post my book reviews on LT, where they get just enough upvotes to assure me I'm not posting into a vacuum. Would anybody be interested in them being crossposted here? I've though about it, but never gotten motivated.)
Also I am apparently posting a thing, in parts, todoctor_and_master for their December fanfest, which is apparently How the Master Stole Christmas, complete with anapests and illustrations. <_< The next bit should go up late tonight, hopefully, now that I've found my stylus (again.)
