Day 8

In your own space, post self-recs for at least three fanworks that you created.

It's tough to pick favorites without anything else to narrow it down, so I decided to go for as broad a spectrum as possible in just three fics.  List includes M/M, M/F, and F/F; small, medium, and large fandoms; short, mid-length, and long fics; teen, mature, and explicit ratings.   

Eighth Time's the Charm (Ocean's 8, Lou/Debbie) Two thieves. One bed.
A relatively new fic that I'm quite proud of.  I like the rhythm and build of it, and I like that I managed to see a new movie and write a fic for it in a reasonable amount of time.

A Foreign Country (Identity, John/Martha) Picking up the pieces.
A small fandom fic, very much under the radar.  But I love these characters and I found it so rewarding and easy to write. 

No Charm Equal (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy) Harry is a cupid. His latest assignment is proving to be... complicated.
Certainly one of my best loved stories.  I'll always look back on it fondly.

As promised, here's my writing meme.  It borrows from a couple I've seen floating around on tumblr and another from [personal profile] elrhiarhodan, with some questions of my own thrown in as well. 

How many fics did you write this year?  How many words?

46 fics and 98,789 words. 

Is that more or less than you imagined you would?

It's one fic more than I wrote last year, and definitely a lot, so objectively speaking it's more than I expected.  That said, I did notice a few weeks ago that I was nearly to fifty, and I hoped I would get there by the end of the year.  Since then I've made peace with the fact that my distractable ass is probably not going to finish anything else in the next day and a half.  January is hereby dubbed "Christmas residue month" over here. 

More questions and answers this way )

We'll see what next year brings!

I love writing holiday/seasonal fics and I usually try to get at least a couple in every year (admittedly sometimes in July).  I thought I'd do a masterlist of my holiday fics from recent years before things really get rolling.  Also it's tumblr log-off day, and some of you here might find something fun.

Christmas Fics

Brand New Start (The Musketeers, d'Artagnan/Athos/Constance) Constance always has trouble with the holidays. This year may or may not be worse than usual.

The Brightest of Signs (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy + Roxy/Merlin) Harry talks Roxy through a mission just before Christmas.

The Calm (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy) An interlude while in the field.

Carols and Pomegranate Seeds (Identity, John/Martha) John reflects, and pays Martha a visit.

Takeout Christmas (Wild Wild West, Artie/Jim) Jim and Artie are next door neighbors.

Through the Years (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy) Across three Christmases.

Wasting Time (Thorne, Phil/Tom) Phil gets a boyfriend. Tom gets a clue.

New Year's Fics

Bubbles (Identity, John/Martha) Martha has something to tell John.

To Make a Beginning
(Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy + Tilde) Villains are thwarted, a princess rescues Eggsy more than the other way around, and Harry is a bit difficult- so probably a pretty average New Year's Eve, all things considered.

Winter & Huddling for Warmth Fics

A Room for the Night (Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Childermass/Segundus) After a trying day, Childermass and Segundus secure a room at an inn. Things transpire.

Baby It's Cold Outside (Cormoran Strike, Robin/Cormoran) After Warmth, one thing leads to another.

Chill (Wild Wild West, Artie/Jim) Artie warms Jim up.

Feels Like Home (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy) Harry learns to like holding Eggsy- perhaps too much.

Frozen
(Wild Wild West, Artie/Jim) Jim runs into Artie at Christmas.

In Winter (Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Emma/Arabella) Something warm.

Out of the Cold (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy) A mission gone wrong.

Snowbound (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy) Considering how many times Harry has almost died in the field, it would be silly to call this his worst mission. It rather feels like it is, though.

To Make Dreams Truths and Fables Histories (Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Childermass/Segundus) Segundus' attempt to cure a toothache with magic goes somewhat awry.

Warmth (Cormoran Strike, Robin/Cormoran) Strike and Robin help keep each other warm.

Misc.

Getting It Right (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy) Five times Eggsy gets Harry to kiss him for the wrong reasons (and one time he gets it right).

Sunshine and Snow (Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Childermass/Segundus) Segundus runs afoul of some weather magic.  Technically a summer fic but I swear it counts. 


If anyone has any holiday ficlet prompts, feel free to hit me up!  I'm already working on a couple of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Sherlock Holmes, and Raffles fics, but the more the merrier.
