Uh, I only technically wrote one fic. sweatdrop So that means my story "The Bleeding Door" is my best one.

The best fic I read was "Death Policy" by germanjunkiewhore, which is a Left 4 Dead story. Spectacular diction and wonderful characterization all around! Shame the author hasn't updated since May of last year. Gosh, it's enough to make me go through withdrawal.

My best review was from [NAME AND ADDRESS WITHHELD]:

Quote:
Oh so apparently I forgot to log in last time. Oh well!

Oh jeez, you definitely have a way with words. And a way of getting into characters' heads! I'm surprised at how flawlessly you shift between writing Mina and then bringing Carrow into the mix. It's lovely. 8D

And well ****, this does not sound good. Especially that bit towards the end where Carrow was just messing with Mina's internal organs like some kind of game of Operation gone wrong. I'm assuming he took out her heart or some soul equivalent or did some weird magic that affected Mina? Carrow seems like quite the accomplished mage. He's shown command over destructive magic before and then there was the healing of Mina's leg and paralysis of Algar.

Speaking of Algar, I like that he died! Usually named characters survive or are important. And so a named character who seemed important being slaughtered in the very chapter he was named in? Very nice. A good way to throw off any savvy readers.

OKAY SERIOUSLY I AM IN LOVE WITH YOUR WRITING STYLE

I look forward to seeing more of your lovely work. :]

Sincerely,
[NAME AND ADDRESS WITHHELD]


And my worst review was from [NAME AND ADDRESS WITHHELD]:

I've been lucky enough not to recieve flames or anything of the sort. There are a few reviews that are worse than this, but only because they don't elaborate on something that they didn't like. But at least those actually made sense.

I technically wrote two fics: "The Bleeding Door" and "His Window" which is a companion piece.

I wrote for one fandom: Dragon Age.

Favorited zero authors. emotion_0A0 I need to go and change that right away!

Sixty people favorited me. And to believe I started in late July 2012! Time flies.

Best fic I wrote this year: either Tactile (serialized fic), or Zero-G (oneshot)
Best fic I read this year: Who Shall Say, which is a sequel to The Scattering of Tall Trees.

What was the BEST review you got all year?


Quote:
I love how you've written Tim at the beginning of this chapter. He's calm, quiet and analytical -exactly how he was in the comics. But you still manage to make him seem like a little kid, which is exactly what he is in the show. You did an excellent job of blending comic and cartoon characterization here and it is fantastic. Best Tim I've read in this fandom yet.

It was also pretty cute how you made Kon figure out he could fly with his TTK. Tim basically had to just flat out tell him -TWICE! Yeah, Superboy, you're a telekinetic what is stopping you from levitating yourself? Oh, wait, I forgot. You're Clark's clone, that means you've got idiot blood in you. *sigh* Good thing you've got Tim there to help you. Where would you be without him?

Oh god! I hope d**k will be okay! You can't really have had M'gann mind-crush him. He's not catatonic, right? I've read a lot of your stories and you don't like to have a canon character PERMANENTLY removed from the story. At least... I've never seen you permanently kill someone off. So, d**k MUST be okay. ...Right?

GARRR! I hate cliff-hangars! Update, Man! I ask you!



What was the WORST review you got all year?


Quote:
so you have damian 'with' d**k's daughter- you had him calling her beloved. and she allowed damian to go after her uncle tim to kill him- she's ******** up then, isn't she-sure damian- kill my uncle as long as you ******** me while you're wearing the batman costume- then i can pretend your daddy and grampy ******** me too-and why would tim have to ask if she would allow him and kon to leave? kon has super powers and can beat the s**t out of her and leave when he wants

I am 90% sure that this reviewer is actually a poster form Gaia that I pissed-off in the forums and he followed me to my ff.n account.

What was the best fan fiction you WROTE this year?

Guess it's my latest fan fiction, The Untold Story (still ongoing). It's originally something I wrote for this guild's August fanfiction contest. I didn't get to enter, but I was so happy that a lot of readers received it very well. This fic really earned me more favorites and subscribers, which I'm really really thankful for.

What was the best fan fiction you READ this year?

It's gotta be A Thief's Pet by WaitingForDawn. I really loved how the author did the sequence of events, the twists, and how some details you'd normally ignore is actually something that plays a big part on the story. And, I have to admit, I also loved it because of the lead character's partner, Youko Kurama. Haha. 4laugh heart

What was the BEST review you got all year?

Well, I really love each and every review, but if I were to pick my favorite, it would be from someone named AliceJr.
Quote:
Wow! What a very interesting story you have here. It would be excellent if you continue it. Youko deserve some love too! That kitsune was too damn sexy for his own good. I'm still wonder about 'him' that he mention about. Let me guess...hmmm...Yomi? or maybe Kuronue.
( pretty lame I know because there are only those two that can be the candidate. )


What was the WORST review you got all year?

None, fortunately. 4laugh
