I'm a fandom snowflake!
Jan. 1st, 2012 07:54 pmI haven't been around much the last couple of weeks due to Christmas-season retail, but I'm going to try to participate in
akamine_chan's Fandom Snowflake Challenge.

The first day's challenge is:
I actually have very little shame about self-reccing; I've done it before here and there. So this time I'm not going to rec what I think are my best stories (hint: Midwinter, In the House of Dust, Dismantle the Sun), but stories that haven't had a lot of readers, either because they're older or they're in even more obscure fandoms than usual.
All links go to the AO3. The stories are on DW and LJ too and can be found using the master lists on either journal.

Relationships: Terry Collier/Bob Ferris
Summary: Another way the night before Bob's wedding might have turned out.
I like the dialogue in this one, and the gradual awkward honesty between the characters.

My one attempt at BtVS comicsverse fic. There is canonical character death as part of the background--the character's already dead at the start of the story. Sort of.

It's from the POV of a magic mirror. Do you really need more inducement than that?

The first day's 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.
