In continuing "end of year reflection lists" I thought I would post all the fic I've done this year, as well as single out a few for special attention.

BECAUSE I AM CRAZY, as the evidence below clearly proves.

The stats:

25 Stories (more if you break down Hydrocodone Midnight Theatre or consider Works No Longer In Progress a story)
325,000 Words

Which means an average of 13K words per fic, though really the average was frequently more like 20-30K, with a bunch of shorter ones near the end of the year balancing it out.

( Favourites, Sexiest, Longest, Shortest, et cetera... )

The last book I finished in 2013 was "The Watchers Out Of Time", an anthology of short fiction. It's composed of fragments written by HP Lovecraft, polished and completed into full stories by his protege, August Derleth.

Lovecraft is a bit of a touchy topic these days, in part because the Cthulu mythos is so popular despite very few people having read much Lovecraft, and in part because Lovecraft's racism has been highlighted (not undeservedly) in the past few years. I picked up an archive of all of his work from somewhere, and I've found that the longer you read it, the less irksome his prose becomes. Either that or Derleth did some appropriate pruning -- the first Lovecraft stuff I read was all HP.

...so I removed the cover of the coffin, and reverently turned skull and bones over so that the skeleton of my great-grandfather lay in its rightful position. -- The Peabody Heritage

( The Watchers Out Of Time by HP Lovecraft and August Derleth )

Final Verdict: Welp, HP Lovecraft talks too much, and he's kinda racist, but on the other hand he tells a really great story. The Watchers Out Of Time is actually the least memorable story of the entire book, but the book as a whole is worth a read.

Avengers: Mint In Box

Title: Mint In Box
Rating: PG (Clint/Coulson)
Summary: Phil no longer owns a Captain America board game, but the trade-off is acceptable.
Beta credit: Thanks to spiderine, gypsylady, and kallaneboi for betas!
Notes: This was actually cowritten, at least to start, by myself and raiining on tumblr, after I posted an image of the Captain America board game that used to be advertised in Avengers comics back in the sixties.

Last fanfic of the year!

I swore to myself I would finish this one, the last one on my plate, before the end of the year. GODDAMN RIGHT.
