2013, Year in Review
12 years ago
Currently closed for story commissions! See this journal for details if you want to look anyway.
Happy New Year, friends and readers! n_n
Well! Another year has come and gone, and while I'm still not a famous published author (yet), I feel that I've legitimately improved as a writer and feel really good about the work I've done this year, particularly about finally starting to accept commissions.
Just like in 2012, I didn't have any empty gaps in my publishing schedule, and credit where credit's due, I feel like that's thanks in large part to
RoninDrake, for letting me bounce ideas and problems off him and working through stories together nearly every single night. Thanks much, Drake. n_n
That being said, let's take a look at the list!
January
A Blue's Acceptance: I started the year off strong with the third story about Jack and Yajondra, the simple human and the dragoness he met in the city, now dealing with such complexities as meeting the parents and the town being ambushed by bandits.
February
I Love You Twice: Secrets to Sleep On: A more-or-less clean instalment in the on-going saga of Dave and Kelly Parrish, in which Kelly hosts a sleepover for some of her closest friends, and tries to balance being a good hostess with making sure nobody works out her secret relationship with her brother.
March
Her Number One Fan: One of the stories I'm most proud of, this one is a fairly meta tale about a young squirrel who writes incestuous stories online to help deal with the enormous crush she has on her brother, and the peculiar new fan she picks up one day...
April
Eric and Milo: First, One, & Only Love: I kinda thought I might be giving away the game by making the subtitle of this one an acronym for "FOOL", but an awful lot of people fell for this April Fool's Day prank, where Anne daydreams about her brothers confessing real romantic feelings for each other, and boy, did they let me know about it! n_n
May
I Love You Twice: Coming Clean: Returning to the Parrishes, I thought I would write a relatively uncomplicated story about Dave and Kelly fooling around in the school showers, since I realized I had ended more than one story with them about to take a shower together without showing the reader the fun details.
June
Unprecedented in my annual review journals, I'm gonna name two different stories for this month. I was exceptionally proud of Milo and Gela: Treetop Tryst, which brought Milo's tomboyish best-friend-with-benefits back for the first time in years, but it's also the month I wrote Cetacean Vacation, my first official commission (for
MrMephit, by the way), and what better topic than a pair of dolphin siblings who love each other very much? n_n
July
John and Kee: Double Feature: July was a troubling month for me, but it didn't stop me from writing, and one of the stories I posted was this anonymously-commissioned story to continue the antics of John the fox and his effeminate brother Kieran.
August
I Love You Twice: Dancing in the Dark: Showing up in this journal an unprecedented third time, Dave and Kelly return to talk about their fears for the future, and to comfort each other in the quiet privacy of the middle of a playground, the best way they know how.
September
Her Man Problems: Another commission, for
Leons1, notable as the first story I've ever written with herm content in it, this one is about a girl named Rio confiding her biggest secret in her big brother Leon.
October
The Wyrmvault Twins: The Luck of Thieves: The long-requested sequel to The Treasure We Find from the previous April, this story catches up with twin vulpine thieves Thassius and Venara to show us that even though they're comfortably wealthy now doesn't mean they're just going to sit on their laurels, not when there's loot to be gained from corrupt noblemen!
November
The Wyrmvault Twins: After the Job: Picking up after the previous entry's cliffhanger ending, we find Thassius in the cruel clutches of Baron Norton, who has a lot more in store for the fox than anticipated. Will the Baron force himself on Thassius for the rest of his life? Well, of course not, TastesLikeGreen wrote the story. :B
December
Good Vibrations: Rounding out the year, and just in time for Christmas, we find this curious story about a lonely girl who buys a magic sex toy on the Internet, only to discover that its true power lies in companionship, not enchantment. n_n
And there we have it! I noticed a lot of sentiment that people are unusually happy to put 2013 behind them, I guess it was very rough for a lot of people. On that note, I hope for all of you that 2014 brings you higher highs and shallower lows. But it was still one of the most productive years for my writing in recent history. There were quite a few months up there that I was able to pick from multiple stories, and one where I had to pick more than one for the slot. Hell, I didn't even mention the series of commissions I wrote for
SilverRat about his kangaroo siblings, and I did three of them in 2013! Honourable mention also goes to The Daily Grind, as it was one of the trickiest things I wrote last year, due to the restrictions on length and content.
All this being said, I have big hopes for 2014, where I hope to do more commissions, weave more tales, and bring you guys the best fiction I can write. For starters, the first story I intend to write will bring back an old friend we haven't seen in quite some time, whose story I felt could use a bit of a pick-me-up. I'm quite excited about that, and I hope to post a journal detailing more when the time is right. n_n
So yes! Thank you for joining me in this annual look back. I hope you all had a lovely 2013, I truly thank you all from the bottom of my heart for continuing to read my stories, and I hope we all have a wonderful, happy year in 2014. Later!
ANNUAL RITUAL OVER.
