The second half of 2008 got a little busy on me and I never did get around to recapping the writing I'd done from August onward. Belated organization FTW.

August wordcount: 9,222
2008 wordcount: 73,998

Liquid Wisdom (Firefly: Mal/Simon; NC-17; 4,084 words (half the total wordcount))
Tea, man-crushes, and missing underwear. The second Firefly fic nakeno and I wrote together that actually wrapped itself up. We haven't looked back since.

Threads (Firefly: gen; G; 275 words)
The degeneration of River's wardrobe. Can also be summed up as Simon Tam is really, really gay.

Collecting Darwin's Dues (Firefly: Simon/OMC; NC-17; 1,477 words)
Written because I wanted to see how Simon would respond if a little piece of his Core life found him again. My first time trying first-person with an unidentified narrator.

Affabulation (House: Cameron/Thirteen; R for violence; 1,304 words)
Zombies, lesbians, and the apocalypse! Definitely something a little different for me. I love that people actually read this instead of scrolling right by and wondering what the hell I was sniffing when I wrote it.

Yanked Awry (Firefly: Simon/River; NC-17; 2,082 words)
Straight-up CSI, because semi-public sex is fun to write and it's always interesting to see just how much Simon would do for his sister.

September wordcount: 22,007
2008 wordcount: 96,005

Permutations (Firefly: Mal/Simon/Jayne and all combinations thereof; NC-17; 15,506 words (half the total wordcount))
Oh, God, where to begin? Epic smut, courtesy nakeno and me letting ourselves run wild in the realm of possibilities. I do, however, think this helped us explore the characters' voices some more. So...that's one point for the educational merits of porn.

Without Dawning (House: Thirteen/OFC; NC-17; 1,467 words)
Speculation as to how Thirteen reacts to some particularly bad news. I'd like to point out that this predates the point in canon where she started seeking solace in meaningless lesbian encounters. PRESCIENT IN THE WAYS OF GAY SEX, THAT IS ME.

Tampion (Firefly: Mal/Simon; R; 2,201 words)
Because I firmly believe that after Objects in Space the crew needed a little time to bounce back from things. Joss would probably not agree that gunplay might feature in this, but, y'know, IT MIGHT.

Disparity (Firefly: Simon/River; NC-17; 2,681 words)
CSI, AU, fantastically fucked. I'm pretty sure I wrote this when I was exhausted or drunk or maybe both.

Sundries (Firefly: gen; G; 152 words)
Total fluff. I always figured Mal got up to something with the "sundries" Inara left behind.

October wordcount: 1,762
2008 wordcount: 97,767

Ready or Not (Firefly: Simon/River; NC-17; 1,762 words)
Ugh, ugh, ugh. Another look at how things might have affected the crew after OiS. One of those pieces that made sense in my own head but flew right over everyone else's. Embarrassing, since I thought I was making progress on that front. A mistake to learn from, etc.

November wordcount: 2,118
2008 wordcount: 99,885

Transmutation (Firefly: Simon/River; R; 1,688 words (half the total wordcount))
Yet more post-series speculation. River stops pretending to be a ship and starts pretending to be a boy.

Adapt (Firefly: gen; G; 430 words)
Three glimpses into Simon's life as he gets used to living on Serenity. And I totally believe Jayne is a decent hairdresser. He was all about it in HoG.

I'M FINISHED SPAMMING NAO, K?

December wordcount: 1,768
2008 wordcount: 101,653

Yammering (Firefly: Mal/Simon/Jayne implied; R; 683 words (half the total wordcount))
Dealing with roots, of both the edible and familial variety. More of a gen work than anything, really. This is actually a snippet from an as-yet-unposted piece that details exactly how Jayne and Simon ended up together and brought Mal into the mix, but none of that info is necessary to grasp this one anyway.

Dying Breed (Shakespeare--Titus Andronicus: Chiron/Demetrius/Saturninus; 1,085 words)
My Yuletide contribution this year. I'm not as proud of it as last year's, not by a long shot, but I think it got the job done.
