Happy New Year, my flist!!

I've been off LJ for a bit, but hopefully now that I'm back for some bangs, my LJ will be livelier.

2012 IRL Highlights

1. I got a new job! I'm now working as an associate software developer for an investments firm.
2. I moved for my job! I was placed in New England, so now I'm staying temporarily in a hotel in Nashua, NH until my flat opens up. (That's when the real work begins, agh. So much furniture to assemble...)

2012 Fandom Highlights

1. I participated in my first bang (smallfandombang) in the 2011-2012 timeframe and loved it! I did a bit of a rushed Jurassic Park 3 fic because my thesis was due the same week, but maybe I'll post a director's cut version of the fic at some point? I'm doing it again this year for the Hitcher (1986 original) fandom. missaffliction is the most fabulous beta.
2. I got into the Skyfall fandom later this year, and I'm planning to sign up for their James Bond/Q Bang (00q_bb) in February. I love engineers and coders in media, so I'm a little addicted to this fandom at the moment. Speaking of addicted...
3. I randomly got into the Teen Wolf fandom, and they write some of the best fanfiction. I was so amazed. That was probably the one fandom that totally took over my tumblr dash and AO3, and I haven't even seen ten minutes of the show. That's crazy. Thanks, Teen Wolf fandom. You're pretty awesome.
4. I made so many new fandom friends! Really excited about this. I've met so many wonderful people!

How was your year? Any highlights or good news? I hope everyone's new year will be amazing!

Congrats on the new job! (Incidentally, I was born in Nashua, New Hampshire. Small world!) I'm also doing smallfandombang this year . . . if I get my act together and actually finish writing my story . . .

That is so cool! Small world! What sort of story are you doing for the bang?

I am writing a Top Gun age of sail AU. Maybe. I also started the same story last year for the 2011 smallfandombang, and had to default.

Congratulations on the new job and the move.
