My favorite of my own stories this year: It Takes a Took
My best story this year: To Lead His People
Story most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion: Home at Last--it’s Bilbo; hardly *anyone* properly appreciates *Bilbo*!
Most fun story: What I Did Last Summer…
Most sexy story: It Takes a Took; it has a kiss in it, and one of the minor characters is implied to have been making out..
Story with single sexiest moment: See above. The perils of writing gen; sexy moments are few and far between
Hardest story to write: Hobbit Aid--the story itself just gushed out. But it was so hard for me to write through it. My own feelings were all tangled up in the story.
"Holy crap, that's wrong even for you" fic: None--although I must confess that my contribution to Grey Wonderer’s “The Pepsi Saga” made me feel rather guilty.
Fic that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: Lesson Learned: Spring Flood, 1433 and Hobbit Aid--the first didn’t really seem like much to me until the second came along, but it was a serious shift in my idea of my post-Grey Havens Shire.
Favorite major canon character of 2005: The same as ever--our four lads, together or apart, but especially together. No way I could pick just one of them.
Favorite minor canon character of 2005: Fredegar Bolger, although really, to me he is more of a major one; his late buddy Folco Boffin comes a close second. I find myself often trying to find an excuse to fit him into a pre-Quest story.
Favorite original character of 2005: I would say Menelcar. Even though he’s not a hobbit. My favorite *hobbit* OC, I think, would have to be Mistress Poppy Burrows, the intrepid little healer. And although I wouldn’t call her a *favorite* for I do not like her any better than my readers do, Hyacinth Took has got to be my best OC villian.
Biggest disappointment: Five Things that Never Happened to Bilbo Baggins--almost no response to that one.
Biggest surprise: The Apples Don’t Fall Far From the Tree--I didn’t know anything about the second generation in my Shire until this one came along.
Most telling story: Hobbit Aid. It told a lot more of my feelings than I normally allow in my stories.
What's next? More Road to Edoras, finish Consequences of a Fall, finish 20_rings, and I have a good sized cage full of bunnies eager to get out.
