That Five Fic Thing that's going around
Tagged by helygen:
Sometimes it's ok to pimp yourself out. Post a list of your top five fic-favorites you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same.
Glass Slipper. (BtVS) The first Buffy/Angel story I ever wrote. They are my OTP liek whoa. I used to have a lot of anxiety about reading B/A fic out of a concern that the writer wouldn't do them justice. Triple that anxiety when I became the writer.
Serendipity. (BtVS) I love this story in part because it's the child that doesn't quite fit. Spike is the sympathetic narrator of the story - one written for the Buffy/Angel event, the iwry_marathon. It's told in second person, present tense, which is amusing because I'm perfectly happy telling 90% of my stories in a third person, past tense. But I can't imagine telling this story any other way.
A Bamboo Joint Cannot Be Cut (The Rootless Remix). (Firefly) This was a Cyrano style love letter to sunnyd_lite. I received her name in this year's remixredux08, which was one of those wild oddities. Of all the people involved in the Remix that I didn't know, I had her name - someone I chat with frequently and we beta for one another. But yet I managed to keep my identity a surprise until the reveal. Besides all of that, it's the first story I've written where I really expanded the 'verse, adding all sorts of original content.
Thank Heavens for Little Girls. (BtVS) To start with I loved it because it is possibility the creepiest thing I've written. And since there it has spawned a collection of stories in that verse and there's so much more still in my head and in notes for a larger, plottier story.
Never Been Kissed. (Veronica Mars) It's girl kissage. When people think femslash, they don't think of me. I love confounding people's expectations.
