Thanks to whoever nominated "Impressive (Unimpressed)" for Sunnydale Memorial Fanfiction Awards round 21.

"Impressive (Unimpressed)" is up for Best Alternate Universe, Best Characterization (Lilah! I was so nervous writing her for the first time, too!), Best Episode Re-Write ("The Wish"), Best Pairing: Unconventional, and Best Slash.

"Impressive (Unimpressed)" was a difficult story to write, even though I was really excited to be writing it. I'd never tried Lilah before, and in fact was pretty sure I couldn't write her. A moment of misreading and I was assigned a prompt I didn't know if I could write and do justice to the characters. Kendra I've written before -- and in fact love to write her, which was why I was assigned the prompt -- but I didn't have a real feel for Lilah.

I'm really glad people enjoyed the story that came from it and in particular my portrayal of Lilah.

(I am up for Best Author, too.)

You can read "Impressive (Unimpressed)" at: Dreamwidth, Livejournal, or Archive of Our Own.

And now I need to get back to trying to finish my latest story for femslash_minis.

Thank you so much to whoever nominated Broken for absence_oflight's round three awards. Broken has been nominated in Best Slash/Femmeslash and Best Overall Dark, and I was nominated as Best Dark author. Completely unexpected and really, really sweet of y'all. Thanks!

In some fic analysis, I've been organizing a master list and uploading fic to AO3 to prepare for this year's Remix Redux, and I love that I can so easily track various ways to analyze my stories. So far I've uploaded 77 fics to AO3, and here are some of the stats:

F/F (31)
F/M (14)
Gen (15)
M/M (2)
Multi (15)

The Multi section is a mix of threesomes, foursomes, and moresomes (and the various pairings broken down from that) and stories which have both het and girl slash (or boy slash, but mostly the former).

Just based on the fics at AO3, here are the fandoms in which I've written more than 5 stories.

Baby-Sitters Club - Martin (8)
Blue Crush (2002) (8)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (11)
Fast and the Furious (2001 2003 2006 2009) (14)
Lost Boys (1987 2008) (15)

Though the numbers are off, I think that pretty accurately displays my top fandoms. I've written a lot more BtVS than that (and more LB), but mostly the BtVS I write these days is a part of a crossover, generally with F&tF.

Apparently I tend to write a bunch of one-off pairings, though. When I tried to break them down, I either had next to no pairings, or a bunch with only one or two stories. This will change as I get more stories uploaded, I think, though some of the basics are there. I'm a little disturbed that right now it looks like Michael Emerson/Star is one of my top pairings. I am completely unsurprised by the other three, though.

Anne Marie Chadwick/Eden (6)
Letty Ortiz/Dominic Toretto (8)
Letty Ortiz/Mia Toretto (5)
Michael Emerson/Star (7)

Of the freeform tags I use (which I'm still working my head around how I want to use them), here are my top tags:

Alternate Universe - Vampire (2)
Alternate Universe - Vampire Slayer (4)
Alternate Universe - Werewolf (2)
Apocalypse (3)
Bisexual Character (12)
Character of Color (32)
Crossover (11)
Dark Agenda Challenge (2)
Foursome (3)
High School (3)
Jewish Character (2)
Queer Character (2)
Threesome (4)
Unrequited Love (2)
Vampires (14)
Werewolf (6)
Yuletide (8)

This has made me want to add even more stories. And for the record, I now have two masterlists, because I was over the limit for one LJ post: The Collected Works of Escritoireazul, Part One: A-F and The Collected Works of Escritoireazul, Part Two: G-Z.
