I confess that the cartoon, The Secret Saturdays, is a show that I am really beginning to love…

My FanFic Year-end Review

A repeat Meme from the last couple of years: My Fanfic Year-end Review. However, this year, comments are turned off. Cut to spare those who really don’t care about this kind of stuff. 🙂

Honestly? This is most likely my last “fanfic year-end review.” I was surprised and very disappointed that I wrote only four stories in 2008. It was the fewest pieces authored since I started writing almost four years ago. The fact that I haven’t written anything since June of this year didn’t help. Last year I set a goal of writing three stories.  It was a goal I exceeded, but I’m not happy about it.
 
I think that most of you who have chosen to read this know I never judge the success of a story by how many reviews it got, but instead – how many times it was read.  In that regard I had some very nice surprises.  I won’t include links to the stories listed here because chances are, if you’re reading this, you’ve already read it (or at least had a chance to). But if you need (or want) to read it again, go to my site to do so because occasionally JL Unlimited or FanFiction.net will mangle a story despite the best efforts of those in charge.  🙂
 
That said, let’s roll with our very abbreviated review.

A Letter to a Fire Lord – The Avatar Finale

Last night, a fine and well written animated program, Avatar: The Last Airbender, came to a close. The finale did not disappoint. It was full of action and an outstanding musical score by the team of Zuckerman & Wynn, which in of itself was sufficient reason to watch the program. It wasn’t afraid to give fanservice and there was certainly a lot of that. But what I found absolutely fascinating was the fact that fifteen minutes into the finale I realized I was watching a different story than I thought I was going to watch.

An Epiphany

Once upon a time, when I was a much younger man there was a singing group who I…
