firethesoundIn 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.
Oh, this one was hard. Really really hard. But I went into this with the approach of, if I was talking to someone who'd never read anything by me and I wanted to give them a sampling of the sort of thing I do, what three stories would I pick?
So:
1. Matchmaker, Matchmaker I really like this one. It's short-ish and fun, and I personally feel that it's one of the most creative plots I've come up with? Basically, Harry lives in Grimmauld Place, which is semi-sentient and sort of mad that there's not a Black living there anymore, so it sends him visions of him and Draco in a relationship to try to get them together. There's sweetness and loads of domesticity, and a strong Harry & Hermione friendship, and smut, and marriage proposal(s). This is the sort of silly thing I have the most fun writing.
2. At the Crossroads There We'll Meet This one is a bit more serious and a little bit angsty. Harry keeps dying, and Draco, in possession of a time-turner, keeps interfering to save him. I think this one feels a bit more true to canon than some of the other (sillier) things I've written. The whole thing sort of calls back to how lucky Harry truly is, because there are a lot of times in canon that he really should have died and didn't, and I enjoyed playing around with that idea.
3. The Light More Beautiful This was a gift for the lovely LQ, whose list of content she'd like to receive lined up almost perfectly with the sort of fic I like. I had an absolute blast writing this thing, and I think it shows in reading it. This was also the first time I felt really comfortable writing a novel-length things, the pacing and plot etc etc. This is also my very favorite version of Harry I've ever written. Featuring a reimagining of the way 6th year might have gone, a very strong Harry & Pansy friendship, lots of Auror stuff, mystery, and nothing in Draco Malfoy's life going the way he wants it to.
(I was very torn about reccing Blue Sunny Day instead of Crossroads, and Twice as Much as an Earthquake instead of Matchmaker, but these I think are the three I'd pick.)
