All told: 200 stories over a decade (!!!) of fandom. AO3 tells me my wordcount is 941,905 words, and I've got a personal goal of hitting 1,000,000 words by the 10th anniversary of my first fic posted on August 28, 2003.
The list:
1. Crazy to Suppose - Nolan RPF - Tom is not exactly *jealous*; he just needs help sorting out what's up with Zooey and Joe.
2. Tired Liar - Inception - Arthur's defenses are down and Eames is good enough to snuggle him.
3. Slow to Start - Nolan RPF - Tom's an insatiable cuddler (this was a theme for a while there.)
4. And I Know It - Inception (Steinway!verse) - Eames gets stoned on antihistamine and sings a soprano aria.
5. Are We Cool Now? - Nolan RPF - Joe comes to London and tells Tom he's not sure about the beard.
6. For a Man Like Me - Inception (Steinway!verse) - Where I tried (again) to write beard!porn, and failed.
7. Chantant Sur le Mode Mineur - Inception (Steinway!verse) - The story of Arthur's junior year at the conservatory, and Eames' final one.
8. I Want Your Psycho - Inception - Beard porn! Achieved at last!
9. Nearly Home - Inception (Schmoopbomb!verse) - Mine and xen's Inception Big Bang entry, and the schmoopiest of schmoop.
10. Onto Me - Inception (Schmoopbomb!verse) - A codafic.
11. Sixty Minutes - Inception (Schmoopbomb!verse) - Another codafic.
12. We Don't Negotiate With Terrorists - Inception (Schmoopbomb!verse) - Yet another codafic. I don't do well with sitting on completed fic, apparently.
13. Oh, the Places You'll Go! - Inception (Schmoopbomb!verse) - Where Eames and Arthur see Margaret off to school, and Eames' biological clock goes insane.
14. Felix Culpa - Inception (Schmoopbomb!verse) - Missing scenes of sorts from the above.
15. Instep - Nolan RPF - Super filthy kinky porn to make up for all the schmoop. Tom has a thing for shoes, but that's only about 10% of the kink by weight.
16. The Sanctity of Patience - Inception - Birthday fic for xen that came out a bit moody and intense.
17. Infectious - Inception - Wherein Eames is the finicky one, for a change.
18. Five little monkeys (jumping on the bed) - Inception (Schmoopbomb!verse) - A five things fic.
19. Locked - Inception - A wee fic for Lately, because.
20. Rash - Inception - Comfort!fic for xen, wherein Arthur isn't afraid to admit when he's in pain and everything sucks.
21. Spoon - Inception - Aaaaand we're back to cuddling. Arthur uses Ariadne as an Eames substitute, but not like that.
22. Return to Nestle Here - Inception (Steinway!verse) - Arthur is a bit manic after performances.
23. Gradus ad Parnassum - Inception (Steinway!verse) - Composing is work, sometimes.
24. I Will Forget the Light - The story of Arthur's senior year and a failed attempt at long-distance open relationships, etc.
25. Du bist die Ruh - Inception (Steinway!verse) - The story of how I finally made it all better (I hope), but not without taking Mal down.
26. I See France - Inception - Eames likes to wear dresses, sometimes. So the fuck what.
27. Like a Hook Into an Eye - Inception - A tale told backwards, about Arthur being the ex Eames can't seem to help fucking.
28. a guy like you (should wear a warning) - Inception - Collaboration with xen in the most ridiculous way. Eames wears panties and Arthur's a shameless size queen.
29. Fine Taste - Nolan RPF - Special delivery for Tom.
30. Mi casa... - Nolan RPF - Hungry boys making bad decisions.
31. Ground and Pound - Nolan RPF - Joe takes Tom down, and it's hotter than they expected. A tribute to post-DJA Joe.
32. when i'm between your thighs (you blow me away) - Inception - Arthur's a girl and Eames likes it.
33. How far do I have to go to get to you - Teen Wolf - Video games and awkward first time sex. Yay?
34. Die Glücklichen - Inception (Steinway!verse) - Nothing but fluffy fluff.
35. First Crack - Inception - Coffee shop preslash, of a sort.
36. Lost in the Warm - Nolan RPF - Oops, Joe has feelings. Feelings are the worst.
37. Ding - Inception (Schmoopbomb!verse) - Arthur is in a mood.
38. Yet what I can I give him - Inception (Steinway!verse) - Christmas at the Goldbergs'.
39. All we like sheep (have gone astray) - Inception (Steinway!verse) - Aaaaand Christmas at the Eameses'.
The rambly thinky part
My favorite: I can't seem to pick a favorite this year, and I'm not sure if it's because it's a wider field than in past years, or that I'm not terribly fond of anything in particular. Probably I'll go with I Want Your Psycho because it surprised me entirely.
My best: Like a Hook Into an Eye, mostly because of the effort involved in creating it and making it flow. Three betas, people. That's at least 300% my usual.
Most fun story: Ooh, this one's a close race, but I'm going to choose a guy like you (should wear a warning) if only because xen's art makes my world go 'round.
Sexiest story: Instep. Yep.
Story with single sexiest moment: This is another close race, probably because I wrote like a metric ton of pornography this year and a lot more kink than I have in the past. I'm going to pick Are We Cool Now?, though, for that little moment where Tom's come and he's holding Joe down and Joe's pretending to complain while secretly loving it.
Hardest story to write: Oh jesus, that's gotta be I Will Forget the Light, AKA the Steinway!fic I sat on and picked at for over a year.
Most unintentionally telling story: Oh, the Places You'll Go!, which could be subtitled "Plor's Ongoing Battle With Her Rising Reproductive Panic, As Personified by Arthur (voice of reason) and Eames (the OVARIES OF DEATH)". /o\
Next Year, I Will...
1) Finish my current WIP.
2) Write in another fandom, possibly Star Trek Reboot.
3) Figure out where to make my fandom home and stop tiptoeing around Tumblr.
4) Post the last couple of chunks in Steinway!verse.
