Fanwork creators self rec! When you get this, reply with your five favorite fics/art/podfics/etc. that you've made, then pass on to others. Let’s spread the self-love 🌼

awwww thank you, Winter!

favorite fics that I've made/ones that I'm the most proud of:

Pay the Asking Price

so this one, for those who don't know, is my Supergirl season 2 rewrite/Elseworlds story, based on the question "what if Brainy was in the pod from the end of season 1 instead of Mon-El?" It came about in 2019 due to a couple different things, and once I realized how much it worked, I had to write it, and I did. And I really enjoyed doing so! It's the longest fanfic I've ever done, and I think one of the only longer stories I've ever completed.

2. No Connection/Hope Burns Bright

these stories aren't exactly connected, but they do both feature Brainysupes, so I'm just putting them together. The first one came about as a story inspired by my friend Pesky's Heart of Steel collection, which is a bunch of her fanfics that are all based on specific episodes of TV that we watched. The second was inspired by me suddenly realizing how similar Brainy in LOSH is to Aya from Green Lantern the Animated Series, and how much I wanted them to be friends because of those similarities, combined with the AU I already had where Brainy is a Green Lantern as well as some Green Lantern lore from the Rebirth series featuring Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz. I loved writing them both, I love LOSH animated Brainy and his crush on Superman.

3. I loved you yesterday

my first Marvel fanfic, this one is based on Wandavision and features Vision's POV during the Halloween episode and the big climactic scene with him in that episode in particular. Because of course I'd be drawn to writing about the robot who had an evil "relative" but who also rejected that heritage and fell in love with another superhero. I took a lot of notes for this one, and looking back on it, I'm still really happy with this fanfic and how I wrote Vision. I still miss him, I wish he'd come back.

4. look at what well-meant did

aka The One Where Brainy Goes Off

This one I just wrote right after Supergirl 5x06 in a burst of inspiration, and I'm glad it got such a positive response because I really enjoy it too.

5. something we must learn

my second Supergirl/Flash crossover fic, featuring Nora and Brainy because I still think they should have met and I have no idea why they didn't. Especially since, as we learned, they were both inhibited by their parents and it would have been neat for them to talk about it.

honorable mention to this meme

that I am very proud of for obvious reasons.

2021 fic year in review 🌟

tagged by @capseycartwright and @homerforsure <3 to do the 2021 fic year in review - I probably should've combined these like @littlespooneven had the sense to do but hey ho!!

total number of completed works: 18 (14 fics 5 artworks)

total word count: 46097 (and some change with tumblr fics…!)

fandom’s i’ve written in: 911 (my shiny new beloved)

looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you expected?

I definitely wrote more than I thought I would. I was already writing less and less before the pandemic anyway (and my word count for 2020 was 164 words total) but then Wandavision woke up my drawing muse, and 911 woke up my writing muse <3 so even though I have a pile of WIPs that if I’d posted/finished would have naturally made that word count higher, this year I wrote the most since 2016 so I’m being kind to myself in saying that actually, I got back into writing after a year of nothing so that’s pretty cool.

what’s your own favourite story this year?

Wish we could cut all ties with the morning light -- because i wanted to write soft soft hurt/comfort for myself so that’s what I did.

And actually, Gently whispered hope too, because again, I wanted to introduce Buck to his baby niece so i did!

did you taking writing risks this year?

I don’t think so? Other than writing for a new fandom at least, which can be a little daunting, but I jumped in with baby-fic and never looked back :D

do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the new year?

Expanding on what I mentioned in the fic wrap-up post, I’d like to finish my WIP’s - namely the tsunami horror fic, and my 5x06 au. The latter is very do-able, it’s all mapped out, I’m just really bogged down with postgrad shit and that’s the only reason I haven’t already finished and posted it.

The tsunami fic is a lot more abstract and messy so I think aiming for Halloween again is the most realistic there. OH and my buck-gets-a-dog fic because it’s fun to write about a puppy and I’d like it be a thing that exists outside of my head and @diazactually s askbox ;)

And other than that I’d love to participate in Whumptober but I probably need to practice writing faster…!

most popular story of the year?

Are we destined to burn or will we last the night? - and I’m so so happy about that. It’s my longest fic in the fandom (so far!) and I genuinely worked really hard on it :)

story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion

This is so awkward for meeee because I’m very much of the ‘surprised anyone reads anything of mine’ mindset, but I guess Send me a postcard (when you get to where you're going) didn’t get as many kudos as some of the other fics I posted this year so maybe that?

most fun story to write

Can i choose a WIP?? Haha probably not in the spirit of this questionnaire but I’ve loved posting sunday snippets of my 5x06 au - the finished fic will probably be posted as a big one-shot so this way I still get to do the cliffhanger-teasing ;)

most unintentionally telling story

There’s a WIP in my fic pile that is *very very very* telling, but of the posted fic, maybe On my mind every second (under control ’til you’re in front of me) in parts

biggest disappointment

Honestly it’s just all the fic that I didn’t get around to finishing/posting. Some of which just doesn’t fit with s5 now (and it’s my own fault for not finishing them after the s4 finale). I started a fic over the summer with Christopher asking Eddie not to go back to work after his recovery. And it was all about Chris slowly coming to terms with his dad returning to the firehouse (thanks to Eddie and Buck and the 118 ofc) but it was very much written from the angle of Eddie *not* quitting because of Chris and. Well.

I know it can probably be reworked to suit (and god knows I was whining to Allison and Ciara enough to know it’s a possibility) I just don’t know if I’ll have time before the show returns and i know when the show comes back it’ll be messed up even moooore and yeah… *whines some more*

biggest surprise

Honestly that Are we destined to burn or will we last the night? did as well as it did? I was convinced I’d missed the finale-fic window but people seem to like it so yay!

my favourite part of fandom this year

*points to my insanely amazing talented and kind dash* you're all really really lovely :)

tagging: @renecdote (do another one ren do another one hey ren hey ren ren ren do another one ren) @hmslusitania @princessfbi @hopeintheashes @thekristen999 and @evanbucxley *but* if you've already done it, or you'd rather not, just ignore me! :)
