Question of the day part 9 (even though days go by lol)
Sakabelle:
A long standing goal of mine was to win a Felix award, which I did this past awards season! That was very exciting :)
It's still one of my goals to finish Running Up That Hill. I'd really like to get back into it but I almost need a week off from work to re-read the entire thing and just write the rest of it in one go. Wouldn't that be nice!
I'd like to complete my main writing project by the end of the summer and have another story completed after that by the end of the year. So basically have two more completed and posted novel-length stories by the time 2013 is done.
I try not to set feedback based goals really, because I don't have any control over them being met and obviously that shouldn't be the point of writing. But it would be cool if one of my stories ended up on this 1D slash recs blog I follow!
I'm sure there are more, but those are the big ones for the moment!

Currently still working on that one :) My second was to write a story that was well-received by the readers on this site. While it may have not appealed to some of you on this forum, based on what I now know about the genres you like to read, I think I definitely accomplished that with Falling in Love Again. A secondary goal with that one in particular, just for my own self-confidence, was to be nominated for a Felix Award. Winning was something I never anticipated at all, and to get Best Romance Runner-Up for that story was awesome. My next goal is to write something that will pull me out of my comfort zone a little by delving into a genre other than romance. My newest story is a humor story, but I'm going to attempt suspense or action/adventure, maybe. I'm also working on a little something with Forever that I think may help accomplish that as well. I've decided to play around with that story a little bit, since I've already been working on it for so long anyway, and it's bound to get lengthy. Why not make it even longer? haha

That line made me very happy! I really hope you do consider it, even if it's just a short story to start out with it!

And that line also made me happy! You were on a roll with that story and then you just...stopped! I miss it and want an update! :)
Is slash the biggest genre when it comes to 1 D, Steph?

An idea came to me this morning. Instead of working on finishing the two stories I have in progress, I'm writing the first chapter of a new one. ::) I doubt I'll post it until I make more progress on the other two, but while it's in my head, I figure I might as well!

I know, I'm sorry it's taken so long! 1D sort of killed my BSB inspiration but now that the initial excitement of a new fandom has gone down a bit (plus all the IAWLT excitement) I'm hoping to get my groove back on that one!
I would say slash is definitely the biggest genre in 1D, yeah. Most authors I follow in that fandom started out writing het fics and have either moved onto slash completely or have at written at least one slash story.
