Day 03

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.


This is a hard challenge for me as I'm not always good at going look; I did this and I'm proud of it. Its something I'm working on more as it does help in job interviews and I like what I write. For this one, I'm going to highlight stories that I'm proud of but perhaps not my normal style.

When Millie Played Fair, I'm happy with this story as I feel like I caught that particular voice that old fashioned girls' books have, the kind I grew up reading. Also I adore the Chrestomanci books where Millie originated from and this mental exercise of what would Millie like made me happy. It was for the Lost Library exchange and a story that once I was writing flowed easily. This is a kind of story I love trying to write, where I'm using a certain style to tell a new story and subtle worldbuilding and plot.

La Marianne was a story I originally wrote for a porn battle prompt though the most that happens is kissing, but I feel like I was able to grasp Enjolras and Eponine as I knew them. Its one of my more atmospheric fics and a style I think of as snapshot, which I tend to do a lot of, just a moment.

The Waiting Sky is a Thor AU inspired by an image, I don't normally write AUs but I love Chris Hemsworth's Thor and the world of those movies. I feel like I grasped Sif's voice in this one and created a believable world.

That's three and as always, this is tough. I could have focused on three from this year but I think these three are where I stretched and found something that worked.
ceitfianna: (Star Trek Not Alone)
I'm home from my amazing trip and last night I had one of those dreams that I really wished was real. I was watching a film about the world of Thor and Loki, it was while they were young and they were helping to fight something. At one point over this delicious thing that was a sort of shortbread rollup cake with raspberry jam, Odin told them a story about Denmark and it was so sweet. During all of this Thor or Chris Hemsworth but not exactly was sitting next to me and being the perfect guy date. We talked and were close to each other and he had this amazing silver almost feather earring that he told me about. Then suddenly we were both in undergraduate college again and he had to go do a paper on some work about Orpheus and Eurydice and we talked about Classics. I woke up when we were walking away and I miss having someone to talk to and cuddle with while watching dorky things.

I've got a bit of a break before my next round of work and everything starts on the sixth and I have things to write and errands to do. Bills and job things are top priority but getting myself a massage is high up there. On the plane flight back, I did something to one of my shoulders and its not horribly painful but it does hurt. This is why I don't like sitting in aisle seats, on window ones, I can lean against the plane and it is ever so slightly more comfortable. I miss the hot tub from our cottage, that did such amazing things for me in terms of relaxation. Also to do is work on my [livejournal.com profile] ineedmyfics story, I have a strong start with it, but it needs poking. I'm considering putting up a prompt post too as since I've finished my masters, my fiction writing has been going quite well.

I have my schedule for the upcoming semester and its pretty nice. Most of my shifts are online ones so even if they end at midnight, I'm home. I have one morning shift, the Friday opening one that feels like mine at this point. Next weekend, I'm helping with an upcoming Bookfest downtown which should be busy but fun. Things are coming together. Now if I can just find a workout/dance thing that I love and can afford for the semester, I'll be set.

The wedding and family wonderfulness will get a separate post with many pictures.

In an effort to not only write more but get my writing out there more, I've been posting my works over on Archive of Our Own. As inspired by [livejournal.com profile] ashen_key, [livejournal.com profile] walksbyherself and [livejournal.com profile] newredshoes, I have also been playing on the Thor Kink Meme and I wrote some Loki/Sif.

Knowing and Telling can be found at the meme here and on Ao3 over here.

If you haven't looked at my works' page before, I've posted some older things, two Will stories and a Demeter one. I'm going to write more and get it out there.
