ds_recsreduxSo 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!

Date: 2010-02-04 02:38 am (UTC)One of the first due South pieces I wrote, and I believe the first porn, was Leaving a Mark (http://keerawa.livejournal.com/20340.html) Yes, it's Knife!kink porn. But it's also sweet and uplifting. Do check it out?
The due South story that gave me the hardest time (of the ones I've completed) was definitely Safe House (http://keerawa.livejournal.com/44481.html). That completely external narrator was brutally difficult, and the dark, cynical head-space writing it sent me into was ... ugh. I'm very proud of it, though!

Date: 2010-02-05 03:08 am (UTC)The sequel to Accessory (http://keerawa.livejournal.com/45950.html), in which Ray and Fraser hunt down a serial killer, is unwritable. I know what happens. It's just so bleak that I refuse to invest my life energy to bring it into existance.
The other is my story in which Ray in injured on the Quest, and Fraser brings him to his mother's family to save his life. I've had 3 completely different ideas about what the POINT of that story is. I've written and re-written various scenes. It never quite worked for me. There's something missing. Something wrong. It's not what it needs to be. And then the file disappeared off my hard drive, so if I want to finish the damn thing I have to start from scratch. Argh.
