Day One: 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. Drop a link to your post in the comments.
Wow, that's a hard one.
My favourite fanwork I've created is always my most recent one, which in this case is the story I wrote for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
yuletide. So it's lucky the Yuletide reveal happened today so I can link to it. It's a Dexter story. I love Dexter to bits (well, except season three, which was terrible), but I've never really been inspired to write in the fandom. My Yuletide request was for a story in which everyone found out Dexter's secret. I know I didn't write exactly what my recipient was hoping for; I would have needed a much longer story to do her full request justice. But I'm very pleased with how this one turned out.
In What I Am Dexter is accused of a murder he didn't commit, but he can't prove his innocence without confessing to far worse.
Fanworks I feel no one ever saw? I don't know about "no one" but if I go by the hit count on AO3, The Exiles certainly needs some more love. It was written forsncross_bigbang and is a Angel/Supernatural crossover. Minor characters from both fandoms, though, which is probably why so few people read it. That and there's no sex. The story picks up Kate Lockley's story a few years after she left Angel, and pairs her up with John Winchester of Supernatural (no, not that kind of pairing) for a hunt. I'm really proud of it.
If I had to choose a single work that defines me as a creator, it would be one of the earliest I ever posted: No Second Troy. It was in writing this story I realised that however plot-driven my stories, plot means nothing unless the characters shape it. What I feel about the characters, the ending that I want, doesn't matter. The story tells itself. Here, it wasn't until I was writing it that I realised there was no way for my lead character - Hercules - to survive the story. He was going to die, because there was nowhere for him to go once the story ended. I could have written it differently, but that would have been a betrayal of the plot.
So there you go.
