Best Fic of '05

[seraphcelene]

So here it is. My annual, at least for the last three years, short list of the best fic I've read in 2005. This year hasn't actually been the best in terms of reading fic. Meaning, I've read little, but the following gems are the ones that really stayed with me. I thank the authors for writing and sharing and I hope that you all enjoy the things you haven't read and find the joy again in the things you have.


The Best of 2005 (in no particular order)

Blood Types by tkp Angel
Lullaby by blue_moony Harry Potter, pre-series
Sixteen in Bulgaria by silviakundera Harry Potter
But None I Think Do There Embrace by yhlee Buffy
About A Girl by molly (mollita on lj) Firefly


There's no glossing fic which is a surprise and a tragedy, but unfortunately my glossing fic weekened had to be cancelled twice and I've read only one of her fics this entire year. Can you believe it? I know, me either. So, maybe as I languish in bed this New Year's, further recuperating from a rather nasty round of the flu, I shall dive into all of those wonderful glossing recs left for me. There's a little bit of eggnog still left and lots of hot cocoa. I think that sound like a plan.

Happy New Year's, kids. Let's get this show on the road.

Aw, thanks! Blood Types was the first finished Jossverse fic I ever posted, and it still surprises me how much people seemed to like it.

I'm really looking forward to reading some of the others on your list (I'm a big fan of yhlee's writing, so I'm glad to have this rec).

You're fast becoming one of those superstar writers of fandom. New fic by tkp will inspire a stampede!

Not really. It was a weird ficyear for me.

Happy ought-six, you.

Happy New Year!!

Talk about weird. I tried to do a summation of my fic writing year and I think it was at like three fic and forty-five thousand drabbles. WTF?!

Meanwhile, I've got a jump on next year's best and that Riley/Oz Carnivale piece is currently sitting pretty at the top. I need to sit down and send you proper feedback, because me SO with the love on that one.
