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).

Date: 2008-01-26 06:40 am (UTC)Little something I wrote for the Revival (http://rebootcomic.zeros2heroes.com/) crew. Got a T-shirt out of it. ^^ I'm dying for some further discussion on it.
2. Till Death Do We Part (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3095042/1/Till_Death_Do_We_Part)
Corpse Bride piece that I'm still working on. It seems to be popular with the younger Burton fans. Would love to hear some +18 commentary on it. ^^;
3. War Stories (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2950868/1/War_Stories)
Incredibles AU. Because of that, I haven't gotten more than a handful of reviews. I researched the SNOT out of this before I wrote it and tried to be extra-careful of the historical details, such as they are. Would love to have the opinion of somebody who's at least passingly familiar with my particular Incredibles universe.
