New Challenge: It's All About You!

[ifreet.livejournal.com]

So much for the year-in-review -- the 2009 smut challenge is over!

Now it's time for the It's all about You challenge -- this week, we're collecting self-recs. So which of your own creations would you like to rec? Will it be one that came easily or one that you had to struggle with? One of each? It could be something you just forgot to post more widely or something you kinda liked and feel proud of, or that reveals stuff about you or your view of the characters, one that best expresses what you were trying to say, a creation you learned something from or surprised you. Whether your fanwork has been woefully overlooked or justly admired, there's someone here who'd love to see it!

Even if you don't write, draw/paint/photoshop, podfic, or vid, we'd still like to hear about your favorite contribution to due South fandom. Have you been someone's beta or cheerleader? Do you unleash plotbunnies on unsuspecting friends and acquaintances? Did you pimp a friend into fandom? Toot your own horn in comments!

OK, I'll go first. I'll do which one came easily and one I had to struggle with. Easy first and that was Up In Smoke (http://talesofakite.ravenshadow.net/ds/smoke.htm). It was written way back in 2003 for the kaleidoscope challenge at ds_flashfiction. Once the idea hit, it really took off. I couldn't type as fast as RayK and Fraser were talking to me. *g*

On the other hand, These Days (http://talesofakite.ravenshadow.net/ds/these_days.htm), oh man! *shakes head* I probably started it in 2003, but I finally got it together and finished for the 2005 Due South Seekrit Santa. That's my problem with longer forms, if I start without a clear destination, by that I mean, the whole story plotted in my head, I get lost and the story languishes on my hard drive. Every great once in a while, I'll pull the rest of the story out, as in this case, but mostly they die a long, lingering death.
