Made it home. Am frantically trying to finish mini!otp ficathon fic, and boy, is it dark. Yay! And dentist today! Hooray?
Amalgamated from lots of peoples.
Stories Written: Rationale, Unspoken, Concessions, Convincing, Settling , Left Behind, What Love Is.
Stories that went through the beta process: Concessions, Convincing, Settling. And it made them a hell of a lot better. Especially Concessions.
Stories that weren't betaed: The others.
My favorite: Unspoken. I just like it.
My best: Concessions, maybe? It was the easiest thing I've ever written - it just flowed. The whole first scene with Jack and Daniel on the deck popped into my head on the way home from the library with Blue Rodeo's "Lost Together" on my walkman. The rest got written a couple hours later in longhand because I was trying to write a paper and I couldn't concentrate on it, I had to get the sotry down and out of my head. That was when Sam wandered in.
I like "Left Behind" too, but it was too damned hard to write.
The one that is most underappreciated: I worked hardest on Settling, and I think it says a lot about how I saw Sam at the end of season eight. I got quality feedback from people I really respect about Settling, but I got a lot of "Pete?" and a fair amount of "I wasn't going to read this because Pete's in it" which makes me think this story's been read a lot less than some of the other things I've written.
Most fun story: Convincing? Because it's got movies and popcorn? LittleRed once told me she has this half written with a better plot and I want to see her popcorn story.
Most sexy story: Eh. Sexy? Unspoken is all about the sex, so maybe that. I don't know. I sometimes think the angst overrides the sexy.
Story with single sexiest moment: I'm fairly partial to Sam and Jack and Daniel in the alley in Concessions (though in beta nanda asked the pointed question of "why are they in the alley?" I don't know. It's hot.) Oh! And I like Sam with Jack up against the wall during 'BtS' in "Left Behind".
Most difficult story to write: No question "Left Behind." Partly because it was written with a deadline and partly because I had to figure out a believable way to have Jack and Daniel have sex (and I sort of ended up bailing on that). I still think it's a story that needs a lot of work, but I'm not sure exactly what it needs. It's just messy. The story's okay.
Most unintentionally *telling* story: Uhhhhh. That part of Sam that's content to just sort of be in Settling? There's a fair amount of me in that, in that I relate to that feeling. But telling? Not really.
Favorite Line Section Thingy: Sometimes I think it's way too heavy handed and other days I think it's pretentious, but I really like the words in brackets that tie the paragraphs of Unspoken together. Figuring that out halfway through really crystalized the story for me and helped me feel comfortable with the sort of shattered perspective thing that was going on. I think I understand it as coming from memory somehow, with one thought, one word triggering another thought and moving Sam through that weekend.
Most "OHMIGOD HEY *I* WROTE THAT" fanon-turned-canon moment: There seems to be a fair amount of emotional resonance between Left Behind and S8. Jack's underlying feelings of loss and the 'loneliness of command' theme seem to be all over S8. Yay! (And this is despite the fact that both Rationale and Unspoken were ep fic written before the ep aired and ended up nothing like the eps themselves.)
