Fics of a decent length are arranged by fandom. I didn't finish anything long & original (apart from poetry) because...I fail at everything. However, this has been my most prolific year yet! (Thanks, BSG.)
I figure that hey, now everyone upon whom I have inflicted various shows can go back and read everything I wrote!

Random sonnets one, two and three

I have this imagine of you scanning through books in seconds flat like some sort of deranged autistic savant :) I probably read about a third as many books and most of those were discworld novels.
I much admire your prolificness, even writing 8 drabble made my brain 'splode with creative frustration, but twas much fun. I guess it's all down to practice...and talent.
Oh crap I still have 2 more that I promised!
