Girl: So I don't steal from privately owned places and shit, I steal from like CVS.
Guy: The funniest thing I ever stole was a five-dollar finger vibrator.
Girl, excited: Did it work?
Guy: Yeah, it was the shit! You can borrow it anytime.

This year's stories are under this tag. Plus the as-yet-unrevealed Yuletide and Popoffacork fics.

Favorite story this year: You know, I wrote a lot (for me) of long, serious business fic this year, but I think my *favorite* is Can't Stop Laughing, the shortish and entirely random Pete/Gabe high school AU.

My best story this year: I hate this question. Maybe alt.shakespeare.burbage?

Most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion: I hate this question, too! Um. Going back and looking, really, everything I wrote got a response either perfectly in proportion to what it was, or far in excess of it and I'm grateful.

Most fun story: My Yuletide fic, I think. Or alt.shakespeare.burbage.

Sexiest story: Jump A Little Lighter. Fred wearing Gunn's boxers. ♥

"Holy crap, that's wrong, even for you" story: Trigger Finger. Brad/Ray gunplay, yeah, that was pretty dirty.

Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: Guest Vocals By. The Pete Wentz I had in my head when I started this was not the one I finished up with.

Hardest story to do: My Popoffacork fic. I think all three of the people I forced to beta and listen to my whining regarding that thing want to hurt me. Badly.

Biggest surprise: But Hey, You're All Right. I didn't realize there was an audience for Ray/Ray late-in-life first-time fic.

Most revealing story: I don't really think my fic reveals all that much about me.

A story I want remembered: Oh, geez. Any of them? I mean...it's fic, you know, it's ephemeral, people don't remember, it's the nature of the beast.

Current Mood: hungry

"One hour a week this good from a network is hard to find. And thanks to all you philistines, if I want to see seasons three through six, I’ll have to raid a DVD store in an alternate universe."

Contains some spoilers for other shows. Of Enver Gjokaj, one of article's contributors (Eric Diaz) had this to say:

"The best thing about Dollhouse is not Eliza Dushku or anyone else, it’s this guy, who plays the Active/Doll code-named Victor. This guy can quite literally play anything, which of course is what the show requires of those who play the “Dolls”. But week after week it is this guy who shines over everyone else. Of all things on Dollhouse I’ll miss, number one on that list will be Victor."
