Congratulations on completing Nano, even if you didn't get the same rush out of it this year. You hit the target anyway, and that's not a bad achievement in itself. Maybe the rush will come later, if you come back to the story after letting it lie fallow for a while and feel inspired to tweak it so that it feels finished-good?
I started re-reading my Nano story from last year while laid up in bed with a cold last week, and while I was itching to tear it apart and start making major edits to it as I went along, I found that I did still quite like the story. So I'm thinking that even though I didn't do Nano this year, I might try to make it a target for 2010 to carry on and write the other two-thirds of it.
Completing it in a year rather than a month sounds like a more realistic target - so I can see what you mean about setting your sights on a fic a month. We all have different writing paces that suit us best, and if a fic a week doesn't make you happy, experiment until you find what does.
