...And just to make it interesting, you are invited to comment (anonymously if you want) with what you thought was the best, worst, stupidest, etc. If you ever had a "my cat could have written that better" moment, this is the time to tell me.

You have written a lot! Very impressive. :D But ahhhh don't take down Skate/Break! I like that one. :(

[thirstyrobot.livejournal.com]

I honestly didn't think it was going to be this much! All those shorty things kinda add up, I guess.

And okay, I won't take it down if you'll miss it. ;P I just can't look at it without positively itching to red-pen it to death.

[queen-fiend.livejournal.com]

Lol, I know the feeling. I'm feeling it about my Yuletide fic right now. I wasn't quite satisfied with the ending. Oh well!

I guess you could always red-pen it and post the new and improved version. XD But I honestly think it's wonderful as it is.

[thirstyrobot.livejournal.com]

Oh, Yuletide. I'm fairly happy with mine, as it goes, but now I'm halfway insulted that it hasn't shown up in any of the 50billion rec posts people are doing. :P Which I know is completely ridiculous, but you know the author of that Breakfast Club fic is totally on cloud nine of joy right now.

Eh, I guess I could edit it, but my main problem with it is that I crammed what really ought to have been three or four times longer into 3000 words and don't feel like I really "earned" any of the Jeevesy emo. IDEK. *stops blathering*

[queen-fiend.livejournal.com]

Awww. I am sure it will turn up! What is worrying me is my number of comments don't seem proportional to the number of hits, lol. How many people are clicking on it and quickly hitting the back button? Lol paranoia.

[thirstyrobot.livejournal.com]

XD Somebody actually did rec it, you're magic. And yeah, I think all fics have the hit-count discrepancy. I sort of wish I couldn't see it because I'm like, okay, what did the other 120 people think of it? :P

[queen-fiend.livejournal.com]

Oh good! :D

You know, I agree with you. Much better not to see that information! My fic now has 740 hits. I have 16 comments. Hmm.

[thirstyrobot.livejournal.com]

Whoa, you've got like 4x as many hits as me. Also, I think I may totally know which one is yours and have to admit to contributing to the lack of commentary because I read it when the archive was really slow and wouldn't let me comment and I haven't managed to go back. >_< But if it's the one I think it is, I really liked it.

[queen-fiend.livejournal.com]

Haha, no worries! I have no idea what you wrote, but I'll go look for it when the authors are revealed. ;)

I would like to know where those hits are coming from, though. It's like some creepy robot keeps clicking on it. :S

Oh, let's see. Well, you won't be surprised to learn that I adored Attire, was moved by At Night We Walk Into Our Houses and Burn, loved the dirty French story, and will never forget Dance Card. And the zombie fics. I adore zombies. I can always use more zombies.

What a year you've had! And I love how you set up this list. It must have taken forever to do all these links.

[thirstyrobot.livejournal.com]

Heh, no, the links took like 3 seconds with some copy/paste action. It was going through and counting/categorizing/remembering the existence of everything that took aeons. :P

And I adore you, dear. ♥ Dance Card, for one, would not even be there without you.

This list proves how much you rock :)

[thirstyrobot.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks! *blush*

Thank you for these delights! Happy New Year!

:D Happy New Year to you too!
