Year in Review
The following is a list of what I’ve written in the past year, a la Alara Rogers. All stories are VOY unless otherwise indicated.
- Jade’s Drabble, a J/C drabble for my beta reader (January)

The Musical! (Filk of La Mancha), a filk of the musical “Man of La

Simple Joys of Captaincy, a filk of “The Simple Joys of
Maidenhood” from Camelot (April) - Buffy Anne, Supergirl a filk of the musical “Jesus Christ Superstar” based on the episode “Normal Again” (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, April)
- It’s My Blog, a filk of “It’s My Turn” (metafilk, May)
- Filk, Filk a Filk, a filk of Sing, Sing a Song (metafilk, June)
- Than Fade Away, an exercise in cookie-baking and implausible pairings (July)
- I’ve
Grown Accustomed to the Phage, a filk of “I’ve Grown Accustomed to
Her Face” (August) - Portions of the unpublished filk musical, “The Sound of Borgness”, including the excerpt (How Do You Solve a Problem Like) Drone Seven (August)

- Unpublished portions of the Seven Saga (September)
- Beta
Energy, a short humor piece for Beta Reader Appreciation Day (October) - 50,000 words for National Novel Writing Month (original fiction, November)
- The Sound
of Sickbay, a filk of “The Sound of Silence” (December) - Every Word
I Said, a short episode addition to “Endgame” written to complete the ChetSev Series (December) - “Typhoid Neelix,” an unfinished J/P fic (December)
- “The Borg Queen,” an unpublished filk of “The Boxer” (December)
I’ve worked on bits and pieces of other unfinished fics, including three Buffy stories which I may never complete (”A Soul by Any Other Name,” “How Lame is That?” and “Secrets”), two other original novels, and five original short stories.
Now that I’ve typed it all up, it’s much more than I remembered writing. I’d forgotten the two filk musicals, in particular. It was a very good year for filk, if that’s not an oxymoron. This was an encouraging meme - I highly recommend it to everyone who thinks they’re burned out.
