Snowflake Challenge: 9 and 10
Jan. 11th, 2014 03:37Day 9:
In your own space, rec at least 3 fanworks you thought you wouldn't like (because they weren't your fandom or they pushed against your boundaries or you thought you just wouldn't be interested) but you ended up loving.
I found this incredibly difficult. I've read some really strange and unlikely things, my rule being that if I get past the first two pages, I may as well finish it. There are a few characters and situations I don't bother with, which means I've probably missed several titles that could go on here.
Two I will never find again, because my desktop crashed and burned and took the links with it. One was Bible slash, featuring God and Lucifer which I thought might be a few bridges too far. Their dynamic was a bit like a serious E/G fic and it was a lovely but bittersweet story. Yes, it was - don't judge me! The other was proof that you should occasionally try things that make your nerves itch. It was a MEFA nominee (never placed), and I glanced in because something in the summary intrigued me .... it was Merry and Pippin, slashed, and was a really special romance with some incredible imagry. I wish I could find it to read again.
I can only offer one link, my introduction to Bible slash. I thought, no, why would I read this??? Eww. But it was Talullah, and I would always take a chance on Talullah (It's been years and I still miss that woman's writing SO MUCH - any fandom, any genre! One day when I grow up, I want to write like her.) The fic is The Covenant by Talullah Red. It features David and Jonathan. Highly recommended!
Day 10:
In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts.
Heh, I'm not sure about asking for presents ---- but if I was going to, it would be the obvious: story illustrations, icons based on my fics, an Avengers fic - Steve/Thor with Clint/Natasha as a secondary couple (before the next movie comes out and breaks that), some angst, some humour - or a good, solid Erestor/Glorfindel (same kind of mix).
There ya go. I don't want much *g*.
Wow, I'm all caught up (well except for the emails, yes).
