An Idea
Real Entry to follow.
Alright, it has occurred to me that I have a lot of writers on my f-list who I've never really read much from. Part of this has to do with The Job, and all the sorts of life rearranging I've been doing, and that couldn't be helped. I attempted to watch some of the fic streams for a while, but let's face it, time is precious, and well, I'm a bit of a canon deviant who gets easily bored with conventional topics.
So, in order to facilitate my understanding of ya'll, think of this as a meme of sorts.
I know we all have stories we'd like people to read. Ones that we spent a lot of time on, and inevitably, no one does, because we either didn't pick the Fandom Sweetheart, or the Pairing Flavor of the Week, or it was Gen or something other Unpopular Thing. So, comment with links to three different stories (keep them to one-shots or chaptered fic under 5 chapters, please), and I promise to read and review at least one of them. Maybe two. Or all of them! Who knows.
And it doesn't matter what fandom. If it's a fandom I don't know, I'll state that in my review and just look at the story itself. Actually, some of the best authors I know can write a fandom I don't know and I'll be able to follow it. If you've got original fiction, even better. Since I dabble in it myself.
So. Here's my three, if anyone was curious:
1. Aviator: A Historical Context
Basically explains why Cid Highwind is probably my favorite "good guy" of all time. Seriously. I wish I could pull out stories like that all the time.
2. Perfect Color Me (also here in my archive)
Because Fuujin and Xu are overlooked a lot, and FF8 needs more femmeslash. I'd call it AU, but anything after that game could happen, so nyah. I'm still ridiculously intimidated by that fandom, too.
3. Of Rooks And Knights
Just something original I spent a bit of time on for some e-mag and it didn't fit the theme enough for them (the theme was "fairytales", and in some countries, they tell theirs like that, but meh).

1. Waiting For You (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1995129/1/Waiting_For_You)
I'm not claiming this is one of my best, but it makes me giggle now and few people will ever understand why. A little story about Elena and Vincent after the End Of It All, long before Advent Children came about to resurrect Tseng.
2. These Bitter Days (http://community.livejournal.com/ci_slash/195784.html)
My Idol boys, but written in the days when I hated. The best things I've ever written have, without exception, come out of one strong emotion or another. This one happened to be intense, simmering anger. (It's in the past now, but this particular story still means something to me.)
3. Just a Thank You Note (http://community.livejournal.com/ci_slash/199588.html)
Idol boys again, although one of them is different. XD This isn't big or important. (I almost regret not putting other things here, but you know? I don't.) And so much has changed since I wrote this. It's short and sappy but I was so madly in love when I wrote it that it's the best testament there is to my involvement with this fandom.

CENDRI DOES NOT APPROVE OF WAITING AND GETTING HER HOPES DASHED.
Ok, I"ll live, I just found that funny. And dammit if your FF7 story didn't make me want to pick up a couple of WIPs that I have. Then again, I have a RIDICULOUS number of WIPs. I've almost considered opening a poll on them, I have so many.

*sniffle*! I also couldn't read the two Idol Boys fic. Should TP join Idol Slash? Shouldn't she? Oh, the epic debate.
