Year In Review
Go to your Calendar and find the first entry for each month of 2005. Post the first line of it in your journal, and that's your "Year In Review".
January - Wow, I haven't updated since last year... bad me... time for a quiz!
February - Because, it looked like too much fun not to try...
March - Ganked from Maggie, first Mark's answers...
April - Let's face it. You can only write a story with Haldir holding onto his plush purple rabbit lamenting Arwen's death while Erestor and Glorfindel jump each other and everyone else is completely silly including Thranduil who basically owns and operates the only night club in Valinor for so long.
May - Okay, the pic isn't showing up, but for the file it says 'Johnny', so my guess is Johnny Depp, considering who the other peoples in this meme are.
June - *huggles and smoochies* (Under a picture that reads 'Happy Birthday SayAye!') - although later that day, I wrote something silly that I don't even remember writing:
"I'm not thin, I'm fit," Erestor argued with the writer. The author was quite surprised to watch as he pulled himself up out of the page. "Furthermore, this whole thing with Glorfindel as this fearless warrior is just plain silly. Did you know that he's afraid of the dark- here, let me have that," he says, grabbing the pen and
July - A ‘rebroadcast’ of last night’s events can be seen at the ElvenLords yahoo group –

starting at post number 10474
August - Not sure if I should add any words to it or not. (regarding the icon I have of Erestor holding Glorfindel while the sun sets)
September - 1> Copy and paste this into your journal: <*font color="yourusername"><*b>yourusername
2> Delete the asterisks.
3> Replace "yourusername" with your username.
4> See what color you are.
October - Well. The big, monstrous gargantuous thing which many of us (including myself) said would never come to be has died as of this past Tuesday night.
November - ...I would request a bungee cord.
December - The following links to a somewhat graphic news article, and does involve child death, to be fair in warning ahead of time

END-O-YEAR FAN FICTION MEME
Stories I wrote this year:
I do know that I wrote more stories last year than this year, but, the stories this year were, for the most part, much longer. Let's see if I can track them all down, because last year, I used to post everything to the HL group, and this year, I posted a little here, a little there, and a little everywhere.

Did I miss anything? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
My favorite story this year (of my own):
Blind, without a doubt. Halfway through, I don't recall who I told, but I told someone that had I had to go and do it all again, with the PPB universe, I would have used this Erestor in a way, and I would have had him Blind from Gondolin to Valinor. Oh, well...
My best story this year:
A three way tie between Blind, Consequences, and And Morgoth Trembled, though it's not yet done. Yes, these were definately three big ones this year.
Story most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion:
You're Fired! - but then, it's self insert, and I know not everyone likes that, not everyone watches The Apprentice... so I understand.
Most fun story:
I think Blind and Gandalf's Hat were the two that were the most fun to write. Prelude to Dolphins was a cute little one, too. Oh! Accept No Substitute- that one has been a blast, but it's still WIP.
Sexiest story:
Love Me, although practically everything from Screw Yule... Kitten, I thought that one was good... submissive Galadriel sitting on Celeborn's lap... yup. Mirror, Mirror was a good one, too... one I reread now and again and go... yeah... heh heh...
Story with single sexiest moment:
I think the dancing with Forbidden Dance was pretty good, but... there is a scene in the yet unreleased 'Talking Dirty' (slash, Erestor/Glorfindel) that I really really like...
( for a sneakie peek )
Hardest story to write:
Consequences... I have to thank many people for pushing me along on that, especially DA.
Most unintentionally *telling* story:
Consequences... at first, I recall telling Dark Dreamer at one point how difficult it was because it was so much fiction and so little reality, whereas I take a lot of real life stuff and put it into my fiction. When I got done with it and stepped back, I realized just how much in terms of family secrets and emotions and things had been put into it, not the things I tell everyone, but the things I bury and hide. It was almost startling in some ways.
