fandom snowflake_challenge day 1

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator.

I love this one to pieces and nobody else seems to: Talitha Rising, in which Jo Harvelle is the righteous woman and Jessica Harvelle (played by Adrianne Palicki, just to clarify) is the girl with the demon blood. I should probably give it more than four days before complaining about its not getting love, though. And possibly write more of the 'verse. (There is so much more 'verse.)

I'm also quite fond of My Soul to Take. Mary's trying so hard to make sure none of the backlash from her deal lands on anyone else, and so relieved when her deadline passes with no harm done...

Bending the Truth was a lot of fun to write, even given all the trouble I had keeping names straight. I'm kind of curious who had the nerve to produce the first public piece of art mocking or opposing Firelord Zuko, though.

this story has a happy ending had to have that title. (Even if every time I see it I get Diamond Rio stuck in my head. I'd follow you to Timbuktu like Scarlett followed Rhett...) Because it does, but that part isn't, can't be, on the page. Not with such a tight focus on the Winchesters (including Jess) and their family tragedy.

The Moon Is Just The Sun At Night—the challenge was to change the species of the pairing, so instead of Ruby the demon and Anna the fallen angel, I did Anna the demon and Ruby the fallen angel, and I racebent it for kicks (for given values of 'racebent'—pre-hell Ana is part Spanish, part Ohlone, and I'm not sure how she thought of herself at the time but today I'm pretty sure we'd call that Hispanic; post-hell Ana is played by Julie McNiven), and quite a lot of bitter ex-Catholic came out in the fic but I think the new backstory makes both women plausible enough bitter ex-Catholics themselves that that's all right.

And that is pretty much my 2012 in stories I wrote that I like. There's one more, but it's still anon. I'll come fix this post when it's not.

I didn't know whether to post here or on ao3, but since ao3 eats my comments some of the time, I'll comment here. I've been looking through all of the snowflake challenge posts for fics to read and I saw yours. I've been out of the SPN loop for a while, but I saw your first fic - Talitha Rising - tagged with 'Bedchel Test Pass' and I know it was something that I had to read. I think the way that fandom treats its ladies is the reason why I lost interest in the first place, so the fact that you wrote something Bedchel-worthy in SPN is especially awesome. You write exceptionally well and I loved this fic; I'll be stalking your ao3 quite frequently from now on, I expect!

Holy crap on a stick, Talitha Rising is awesome.

And your name sounds familiar, like I've seen you around or I know someone who knows you from somewhere. Vague and probably creepy of me, I know, sorry! lol

:-D

No problem.

Hello!

I'm this way via the Snowflake Challenge lists and have just read Talitha Rising. I love that you've taken such an interesting spin on Lazarus Rising and I must say thank you for pointing me in the right direction to the Bedchel Test Pass tag too.

I've not read SPN fic in a long time and this was a lovely way to get back into it. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

:-D

So am I your day three? :)

[candypinksocks]

You are and I get awesome fic as well as someone else in my circle *G*

I've just started reading Talitha Rising and it's got me hooked! I don't even normally read fanfiction, yet here I am.
