snowflake day 1

[aphrodite_mine]

Today's prompt for snowflake_challenge  is: In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator.

I.. didn't read the prompt closely, and so I just spent three hours narrowing down my favorite fics to a list of just three that I consider my best. I suppose it's a worthwhile effort, in any case.

In no particular order:
you have always worn me well (She's the Man, Olivia/Viola/Duke)
a pinch hit (actually I don't remember if it was my assignment or not!) for last year's 3_ships. Probably the first time my initial idea actually made it to 'paper' in a way that didn't make me feel like I'd failed somewhere along the line. I'm also incredibly proud of the gender discussion here. It's not an idea I would have even considered a year or two before writing it.

A Lack of Color (The Office, Gen, Pam & Karen, Pam/Jim background)
written quickly after 6x9 "Double Date" which left me an emotional wreck of anger and sadness... but I think this fic moves far beyond cathartic working through of issues. I was quite kind to Jim, actually, which is the first sign of approaching fic in a bit more levelheaded way. I don't know. This just feels incredibly real to me, with a few moments that just scream 'The Office' for good measure.

Replacements (The Inside, Rebecca/Web, Alvarez/Web)
My first Yuletide fic, and my introduction to prozacpark ! Aside from that phenomenal, life-changing thing, the story that came out of her prompts is, other than being a little uneven, one of my best. I worked over section 2 with my creative writing class, so I don't think the writing is as even as it could be, but the short bits about Rebecca, and all of the implications... If I didn't write this, I would be obsessed with it. I kind of am anyway.

OH GOD that Rebecca Locke fic! ohmygod. This is why I love these meme things, because I fail at going back and finding stuff like this, and it's wonderful. I love your style so much, with all the implications and imagery and that's such a good example of it, and Rebecca is the perfect character to write that way. I shall try to give coherent feedback on the fic when I find words, but basically <3

Also I kind of want to do this meme, but is it bad that I can't narrow down my own stuff to less than like 5 or 6? *facepalm*

<3 FLAIL HUG <3

I had the WORST time narrowing my list down from like, 20, so no... I don't think that's a bad thing! I think that's an AWESOME thing.

I still remember reading that fic and just FLAILING because I couldn't even believe that SO MANY OF MY FICTIONAL kinks showed up. You know, the ones too odd to actually LIST in my letter, and if I actually KNEW anyone in that fandom, I totally would have thought that someone I already knew wrote it. <3

Now I need to reread and go hunt down the OTHER fic you wrote me that year. <3
