Fandom Snowflake - Day 01

[elrhiarhodan]

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.

Okay - kind of cheating, giving you one fanwork in three categories from both of my fandoms.

Favorite Fanwork:

White Collar: The Lost and Found. I love this little story, I love the way I put the words together and lyricism of it. I love the mystery and the reveal.

The Flash: The Slow Dance of Madness. I'd fallen hard and fast for The Flash and had found the dynamic between Barry and the character of Harrison Wells in the first season to be my catnip. It pushed my buttons HARD. What I love about this fic is that I took a lot of risks and I think the risks really paid off.

Underrated/Unloved Fanwork:

White Collar: Torch Song. I kind of expected that this story would not get the love it deserves. It covers some difficult subjects and it's pretty much a total A/U, but I think the characters are completely in canon. I hope someone gives it another look.

The Flash: A Knotted Cord Untying. This might be one of my favorite stories of 2016, but no one seemed to really get into it. I do have to admit that it was kind of a bizarre fusion of The Flash and Ed, but I do think it worked. Pity no one else did (Oh, woe!!!!!!)

Fanworks that Define Me as a Creator:

White Collar: Return and Rebuild The Desolate Places. I know my friends would say - no, no, - it's The Wonder(ful) Years that define you. But I have to disagree. This story typifies the type of story I love to write - long and intricately plotty with strong character relationships and an ending that isn't necessarily the one you'd expect from how the story started.

The Flash: As Brothers We Will Stand. This defines me in the same way as Desolate Places does - it's long and plotty, but focuses on the characters and how they interact and what they mean to each other.
