2 memes, connected by theme. (The theme is TV.)
Okay, here's the meme about TV shows I watched (or didn't watch) in 2012:
Which TV shows did you start watching in 2012?
Elementary, Avatar: The Last Airbender (halfway through season two now), Missing (now cancelled). Online shows should count as well, so I'm adding The Lizzie Bennet Diaries to the list.
What TV shows did you let go of in 2012?
Revenge and Once Upon A Time
Returning shows I continued watching:
Doctor Who, Fringe, Person of Interest, Parks and Recreation, and Community. (That last show hasn't come back for its fourth season yet, but I plan to give it a try when it does return.)
Relatedly, I'm planning to continue my rewatch of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and I'm considering doing a Doctor Who, seasons one and three rewatch. I want to finish Avatar: The Last Airbender. Oh, and I rewatched Ultraviolet (BBC) in 2012.
Which TV shows do you intend on checking out in 2013?
My maybe list: Arrow, Once Upon a Time (again), Copper, The Big Bang Theory, Downton Abbey (season one only). eta: Also, The Bletchley Circle. /eta
Which TV show did you enjoy the most in 2012?
Second place: Parks and Recreation
First place: do you have to ask? (Okay, fine, it's Person of Interest.)
Since I only have one more fanfic I'm going to write this year--at least, that's all I have planned--here's my version of the fanfic meme. In 2012 I wrote fifteen stories in three fandoms. Person of Interest was the main fandom, but I also wrote a crossover with Doctor Who and one final Battlestar Galactica fic (a remix). This isn't counting tiny fics posted in the comments or on Tumblr. Total word count is around71,000 75,000. That's more than the three previous years combined, I believe.
Personal favorite story: While I really do like all of the PoI fic I wrote, the winner has to be Nowhere Left to Run for the BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT factor.
Most fun story to write: A Picture's Worth..., because Zoe Morgan reacting to pics of John Reese with a baby is still a hilarious concept. I giggle when I re-read it.
Story I wrote to fix things: I don't think I really wrote fix-it fic in 2012, for a change. I did write happily ever after (kinda sorta) fic, which by its nature fixes things. But I've written more deliberate fix-it fics in years past.
Story most under-appreciated by the universe: I don't feel underappreciated? Seriously, this year I just don't have a story that fills me with woe because other people didn't love it like I did. (I'll admit it, most years I do have a story that fits into that category.)
PoI is a small fandom, and my hodge-podge of fic that is mostly not about The Dudes (or at least not only about The Dudes) isn't going to get as much notice. ::shrug:: I like comments--no, wait, I LOVE comments, but I'm still writing stories that I want to exist. In other words, my audience loves my work.
I will mention that "Nowhere Left to Run" got one hundred twenty comments on fanfiction.net*, and two comments and four kudos on AO3. But I knew it wouldn't get the same reception there anyway. (That's why I joked about posting it there out of spite. Hee.)
*fanfiction.net seems to be the place to post/read fic for Carter/Reese fans. Anything about those two gets more appreciation there than anywhere else, I've found. That's not true of Morgan/Reese; LJ and AO3 prefer them, ff.net not so much. Interesting to see the het fic have a divide like this within one fandom.
Themes, or absence thereof: I don't even know anymore. The Machine is evil seems to be a big theme, going by word count about that.
Writing technique or style you’vedone well improved tried out: I plotted a multi-chapter fic for the first time, and then wrote it. While my outline was drastically altered by the end, the basics were still there.
Did you take any writing risks this year? I wrote the POV of a murderous Mafia Don. Plus I wrote a chapter fic--did I mention that already? ::sticks out tongue::
Biggest Surprises: A chapter fic. By me. Featuring a non-canon pairing. SURPRISE.
fic goals: NONE.
My mostly-complete fic index, which you can use to find stories I wrote and then leave extravagant praise on them.
