2008 fic round-up post
Jan. 1st, 2009 08:43 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
sylph_ficsSorry for the spam. I swear, I won't post in the next 3 hours and fifteen minutes, so help me.
This is my best attempt at a round-up of things written this year. It's not entirely complete, because I left off any of Slade's prompts that didn't seriously strike my fancy, and for that matter I left off almost all of Ghanima's, just because I didn't want the headache of linking them in. My Dune-girl's journal is http://lionessghani.livejournal.com, and all I do with her is the prompts, so if you're interested, wander thataway?
This also doesn't include the epic I wrote with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
katarik for NaNoWriMo that's still in beta, or either of the fics I wrote for Yuletide, as I didn't get to post them until 2009.
Other than that, this should be pretty complete. You might notice I have a theme, and it's Slade Wilson. What can I say? Canon has made me really, seriously angry, and fic is my therapy.
There's other stuff in here, though. The Western, Pern, a little Dune, Alien v. Predator, several pieces of Titans fic, a Justice League piece, a couple OTPoW pieces, a little Uncle Sam, some Nightwing...
Not such a bad year, after all.
