Meme - Seven Days of Self-Promotion - Day Three
This awesome meme is ganked from my friend ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
embroiderama, and like sinfulslasher, I have some ovine tendancies, too.
The Days:
1. Something old
2. Something new - talk about a new fanwork of yours
3. Something you made for someone else
4. Something you made just for yourself
5. Something for a large fandom/pairing/character
6. Something for a small fandom/pairing/character
7. Something you're just really proud of
Something You Made For Someone Else
I often write for my friends – birthday fic, memes, timestamps, promptfests and a lot of stories that I’m really proud of have happened because I want to make someone else happy. If no one minds, I’d like to talk about a few different fics.
The first time I wrote a fic was for someone was for the inestimabledaria234, one of my earliest LJ friends. This was also the first time I wrote Mozzie-fic. She asked for Peter, Mozzie and Neal discussing Shakespeare, of all things!
That story became Never Underestimate the Suit, where Mozzie revels in the idea of Titus Andronicus performed at New York City’s Shakespeare in the Park festival.
The first time I wrote birthday fic was forasimaiyat, and it also happens to be a Mozzie-centric story. Written in 2010, it well predates Mozzie’s origin story (and is completely jossed by Dentist of Detroit), but it does somewhat accurately predict the etymology of his nickname. I give you, Names Have Power.
The third story I’m promoting here wasn’t written for a person, precisely (although I did gift it toangelita26 for her birthday). It was written for the 2014 ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
poetry_fiction Ted Kooser challenge. I was given a fragment of poetry and asked to write a piece of short fiction to it.
The Lost and Found is something of an experimental piece. You don’t know who the protagonist is until the end, he’s just a man lost and travelling with no desire to be anywhere but on the open road.

And now I'm wondering whether Titus Andronicus was over the edge for its original audience, or whether the brutality of everyday life (bear baiting as entertainment, for example) made it seem kinda normal.
..My earlier comment on The Lost and Found: "Now I need to know why Peter headed out on his own." Is Return and Rebuild the Desolate Places your answer to that? :-)
