Haemorrhaged is a good word for my word count last year.

This year, on the other hand....

But that's not what we're here for.

I'm glad you like Stay in My Eyeline. I also like it and I honestly didn't expect it to come out as well as it did since it was just self-indulgent ridiculousness I wanted to write for myself, but it's quite a good story, really. I did like actually getting to show Christian's feelings for once because, since I usually write from Vincent's POV, you rarely get to see that he, too, has this inner turmoil about things and is still the sort to make a terrible decision when it comes to these things, although, yeah, it's a bit out of character, but I hopefully managed to rationalise it well enough to make it feel like a realistic thing (him making this decision).

I'm not overly worried about the hit count/engagement on Merry Christmas, Here's to Many More. I am happy with the way it all came together at the end and that's ultimately what matters to me.

The Five Times fic is fine. I just find myself wanting to tighten up the writing every time I read it now, which I literally can't do because it exists as a podfic, so I think I just need to let it exist and only listen to the podfic until I can move past these baser instincts to edit. It came together, certainly, and helped me find the story I really wanted to tell, so it is important in that regards.

Thanks for the thoughts on this, as always.
