Year in Review: 2008

Take the first line from the first post of each month, and that's your Year in Review. Note: in one case, the entry was a fic, so rather than pull a random line from the header, I used the first sentence of the Author's Note.

January: Like last year, ganked from parron [This was my Year in Fic: 2007 post.]

February: This was once part of another (as yet unfinished) story, but it didn't really seem to fit there, so I pulled it out and let it sit for awhile.

March: I have always been intrigued by the Arthurian legends, and by all the stories that derived from them.

April: It is taking me forever to go through these pictures, so here, have a preview:

May: Packing for business travel is still something of a mystery to me.

June: My last concert of the season was tonight.

July: A few moons ago, on the journaling meme, friede asked me to discuss a favorite piece of clothing.

August: Poof!

September: John Scalzi with some thoughts on Sarah Palin and her daughter's pregnancy.

October: So I was going back through my LJ archives, and I just noticed that it's been a year and a day since I posted Chapter Two of "Aftermath".

November: Despite being hit by our first big storm of the season today, T coaxed me out of the house to SF MOMA because there was an exhibit he wanted to see: a video installation featuring images of Las Vegas.

December: Via SE, the Atlas of True Names, maps of the world and Europe that show the etymology of country, region, and city names.

Posting: The Reason

Title: The Reason
Fandom: FFX-2
Rating: PG
Wordcount: 470
Pairings: Beclem/Yuna
Spoilers: For the end of FFX only.
Notes: In the spirit of finishing things up before the end of the year, I caught up on transferring everything I've written this summer and fall to my archive, including my three Trick or Treat 2008 stories. Usually, when I participate in a fic battle, I don't post the ficlets individually in my journal, but I've been meaning to make an exception for these, and this one in particular. The prompt was "Beclem/Yuna, murder", and I was so strongly put in mind of "Aftermath" that I couldn't help but write a metafic for it. Set post-game (and so post-"Aftermath" as well).
