Story I was most surprised by it's reception: Sleep Will Come Soon – This was written for whitecollarhc's Abduct-a-Palooza II for an anonymous prompt about miserable Neal (recently back from a six-month abduction) and miserable Theo (teething) helping each other feel better. It was one of those stories that I just sat down and let flow, and those are the ones that I'm always surprised by because I don't have a plan for them. I do sometimes love being a pantser :D

Story I am most proud of writing: Redraw the Lines. This story almost killed me, but it wasn't an idea that I was willing to give up on. It took many months to finish and refine and publish, but I think it was worth it. And now I have a 'verse to explore that's pretty unique. It's one of my favorites.

Story I am least proud of writing: I went through all of the stories that I wrote in 2014, and I didn't think that any of them belonged here. I had such a wonderful time writing all of them, and there's not a single one that I'm not proud of.

Writing Resolution for 2015: To continue writing White Collar fics – I have so many ideas that I still need to write out. To write more words than 2014 (which was less than 2013 but more than 2012)
