Snowflake Challenge Day 1

Day 1: 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. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

uh. so this is really terribly difficult, since I can never properly gauge whether or not I like things I've written, and it was tempting to just put up the three newest or go by AO3 stats.

But anyway, here goes.

1. Our Hell is a Good Life was written for [livejournal.com profile] rs_career_fest in 2010, and despite being written to a prompt and further being heavily AU it incorporates a number of my headcanons about the Blacks, esp. all the overwrought melodramatic bits that never fit in other stories, and is sort of a window into my id. While it has nothing in common with those, it also hearkens back quite excellently to the sordid purple prose I committed in my adolescence.

2. While this is a sort of cheating, Imma give myself a pass because Krishna and Karn are essentially a duology and written as such, and they constitute a whole inside my head: in fact, they're missing a third bit which needs to get written. The uniting theme, if it can even be called that is the tension between Krishn's individual interactions with people and his larger plans where they're all usually pawns. um.

3. to race Thanatos. I think this was the first non-drabble thing I wrote for [livejournal.com profile] maryrenaultfics, or very close to it. Even if it isn't it's a fair example of the sort of thing I was writing at the time: not very controlled, perhaps, but full of a feeling that is more subdued in the way I write now. It's also, as [livejournal.com profile] greerwatson put it, proof that the comm has raised [me] from a pup. *g*
