... okay, this is the point where it becomes even more painfully obvious that I am a hopeless, pathetic Weiss fangirl. Unposted WIPs excluded for obvious reasons.

Writer's Meme:

Sometimes it's ok to pimp yourself out. Post a list of your top five favorite fics you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same.

Seuche: fatal, not serious [R]

I really do love this fic. It's my absolute number one favorite baby and it's on hold only because I want the end to not suck. Why do I love it? Because of its sheer mad grandiose sprawling epic-ness, because Youji and Ken deserve an epic, because I really love the plot and the fact it actually possesses a subplot, because I've yet to create better OCs, because of it's how-the-hell-did-I-get-here? moments. Because it was plotted in full before I even started to write it and, though I know exactly where it's going and how it's going to get there, it still has the potential to surprise me. BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME I MUST FINISH THIS SOON.

Die Fürsprache (bait and switch) and The Seventh Circle [NC-17]

I know, technically that's two fics and two fics which are not even remotely in the same timeline at that, but I tend to think of these works as twisted sisters. At the very least they share a similar central concept. I think these fics are either the best things I've ever written or the worst. Certainly I'm ashamed to include such twisted pieces of fiction in a list of my personal favorites, but - well, I genuinely do like the way they came out. Both these fics did exactly what I wanted them to: does it really matter if what I wanted them to do was be realistic trauma fics, and thus really creepy and sick and angsty and wrong?

Pause [G]

OH MY GOD IT'S GEN. This was one of the character studies I wrote when I was trying to get a feel for Weiss Kreuz, and for some reason I'm very proud of it. It's something about the way it's written, I think, and the fact that I was starting to get the hang of the characters: I still like the descriptions of the park and, for some reason, Omi's hair, and Ken is - well, Ken. There's no real plot, there's no attempt to get inventive with the canon, there's no attempt at subtext and very little actually happens, but it feels very real to me.

Stasis [PG-13]

This was the last fic I wrote for the Proximity arc, despite being the second in the series, and it's by far my favorite of the three. It's the one I feel comes closest to matching up with the - if this makes any sense - conception that I had in my head, which is weird as I was very frustrated most of the way through writing it and just wanted it to be finished already so I could get on and post the rest of the arc. How that adds up to 'best fic in the arc' I don't know, but it works for me. I'm still fond of this fic arc, too, especially of the way they're set at recognizable points in the series and actual time passes between them.

Honey Trap [PG-13]

Because what's not to love about a pissed-off Ken desperately trying to convince a target he's an innocent, helpless young girl so his teammates can take said target down, only it doesn't quite work out that way, and detesting every minute of it? I loved writing this fic. Got the idea on the way into college one morning and spent the whole day scribbling down the plot and grinning madly to myself. I don't normally write in the first person, but I simply couldn't do anything else with this one - the perspective allowed for some awesome fun. It's shameless, but I still think it's the best humor fic I've ever written.


Tag? Anyone who wants to do it. I actually tagged cards_slash, but she finished it way before I did, so I have a feeling it doesn't actually count...

AND GOD DAMMIT MP3 PLAYER DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT.
