Sometimes it's okay 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.
I haven't written a lot since Swept Away became the fic that ate my brain, but I love ALL my darlings (which means I should kill them all, I know).
Forgive me if this is stretching the terms of the meme a little, but I always think of my Mike/Psmith series as all part of the same story. I love this story because I felt as though I did channel Mike's personality fairly well - I identified with him as the incoherent, loyal, quiet, deeply feeling born-to-be-a-sidekick person. And I think it was just awful that Wodehouse created such a real character and then abandoned him. It was like he forgot that Mike gave Psmith his connection with the rest of humanity. Psmith got more interesting to Wodehouse, because he's the more flamboyant character, but after he shuffled Mike away Psmith got boring, because flamboyance is nothing without it's connection to pragmatism.
The Book, The Book II, The Book III, and Two Minutes After (the only R rated part of the story).
Ennui - Mal pines for Polly. Should really not be read without having read "Monsterous Regiment" (Terry Pratchett) first. Probably I'm just fond of it because it may have been the first fanfic I ever finished writing and showed to the world, but I think it has... something.
I'll cheat a little again with this series, written all within about a week, short, and closely connected. These are fanfic of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
daegaer's story Remembering Monsters, which is a bizarre AU sort of sequel to Pratchett and Gaimen's "Good Omens." If that's complicated enough? Um, yeah. I love it because, even though it's fanfic of fanfic, in it's way it's also probably my first original fic, because I could do anything I wanted with Akinari and Chojiro continuing their lives after Crowley and Aziraphale left. Will they ever figure out what happened? Will they ever understand it? Probably the answer is 'no' to both questions.
On Waking, Meeting Again For The First Time, and Everything Old Is New Again.
Solvent - because it's Gilligan/Professor, and just how much wronger can you get? I have a passion for wrong. :) Although more importantly because I wrote it as a prequel tomizzmarvel's Gilligan Moves Out. :)
Absence of Madeline I think I did a pretty competent job with it, and I keep getting reminded of it because I get new compliments on it about every month. Oddly, those people never offer it when someone asks for recommendations on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
indeedsir, so I don't know how much good it really is.
And looking at how quickly I was turning out little fics makes me wonder what the hell happened when I began writing Swept Away. It's as if all the energy that was working for me suddenly left when there was one project that I 'should' be working on. I think I'll take a walk right now, get away from the house, and go write a bit.
