Challenge #12 Create a Rec Countdown

I know I'm obscenely late and who needs recs anyway? Oh, but wait, maybe now is the perfect time to rec, after the season is over when you're done reading all the stories your had bookmarked to read, after you've checked out all the communities/ discords/ books that everyone has already suggested. Here I come out of the kindness of my woefully procrastinatey heart with a post just for you. YAY ME!

Just in case I'm crazy enough to take this on.

I was made aware of this by someone at FSC, but the community itself ( [livejournal.com profile] 100fandoms )looks pretty dead--no posts since 2012--but that's okay, we can have our own fun.

tjs_whatnot: (writing--quit my shitty job)
Hello! How have you all been?

I'm hanging in there, have so many things going on that I will hopefully one day soon come here to regale you with. But for now, here is how I've been keeping myself creative. Firstly, my first ever WIP type story:

The Third Rail (2737 words) by tjs_whatnot
Chapters: 2/12
Fandom: Heartstopper (Webcomic), Heartstopper (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Nicholas "Nick" Nelson/Charles "Charlie" Spring, Tara Jones/Darcy Olsson, Elle Argent & Isaac Henderson & Charles "Charlie" Spring & Tao Xu, Tara Jones & Nicholas "Nick" Nelson & Darcy Olsson
Characters: Charles "Charlie" Spring (Heartstopper), Nicholas "Nick" Nelson, Tao Xu, Isaac Henderson (Heartstopper), Elle Argent, Darcy Olsson, Tara Jones
Additional Tags: Red String of Fate, Slow Burn, POV Third Person, POV Alternating, Alternate Universe, Angst with a Happy Ending, Canon-Typical Behavior, including mentions of self harm, mentions of eating disorders, Bi-awakening
Summary:

Two New York City transplants, trying to find a place to belong might find each other, if they pull on the right end of the Red String that brings them together.



And this is just a little one-shot of a moment that came to me while re-listening to Heartsong. *sigh* Why isn't there a bigger fandom around this series? *sighs more*

I Just Know (1098 words) by tjs_whatnot
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Green Creek Series - T.J. Klune, Heartsong- T.J. Klune
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Kelly Bennett/Robbie Fontaine
Characters: Kelly Bennett, Robbie Fontaine
Additional Tags: Missing Scene, Book 3: Heartsong, Memory Loss, Canon Asexual Character, Touching, Everyone Needs A Hug, Kissing, Not Beta Read
Summary:

Robbie isn't ready. Kelly knows this. He knows that for every memory of them being in love and being too precious to be real, there are memories of a monster. A monster that looks like him. Has his eyes. His jawline and his snarl. A monster that turned on his own pack, who tore, who ripped flesh from bones. A monster who liked it.

So they wait. While they wait, Kelly is his memory, and it is enough.

I snagged this from [personal profile] svgurl

Rules: List the first line of your last 10 (posted)* fics and see if there’s a pattern!

*cheating by giving you one WIP, unposted thing because I only have 9 stories up before my AO3 is a mess of random stories gathered from all over the internet in no order. Oooops.

Hello!

*dusts this site off*

How are you all? I have missed you all like CRAZY! Why do I keep letting life keep me away? WHYYYYYY?!?! I certainly don't mean to. Not even a little.

But, school is killing me.
Work is killing me.

I find relief in fandom things... but only have the time to consume it and let it fill my head with fantasy and whatnot. it doesn't give me time to interact with it, to create anything from it.

Hardly ever.

But, I am trying (again) to change that. I'm forcing myself to do things that I enjoy instead of just the things I have to do.

Things like:

Snowflake Challenge promotional banner with image of snow-covered trees and an old barn in the background. Text: Snowflake Challenge January 1-31.


Yep, once again, I am participating (and modding a bit) this glorious fest! It really does help me connect with my fandom self and it's great to also reconnect with the other old timers while meeting new lovelies. ♥

The first day was to update the profile or intro post. But my update last year is still painfully accurate so it stays.

Cutting for length )

Okay, I think that's enough to be getting through tonight/today. Thank you for reading. ♥

Challenge #7 Rec Yourself, Don't Wreck Yourself

Why is it that the challenges that I, myself, post are the ones that take me the longest to fill? You think I'd have this all sorted even BEFORE I posted it on the community. But, that would be supposing things about me that are false from the outset.

BUT, enough about that! This is not what this post is about.

How am I awesome? I don't know, I just am. I'm a bit of a work in progress. I feel things that I've struggled with for a long time are slowly starting to make sense and this excites me and I'm really looking forward to who I become. I'm not there yet. Not as awesome as I'm going to be. Seriousy, stick around. It's getting good. ♥

But, for most of this, there is a lot of reflection and self-analysis and worry and so, I'll save it for another post and instead talk about the thing I am really good at. Getting into characters' heads.

The first two things I'll link to, while they might not be my best examples, they do serve as examples (and they're things that I haven't posted yet as reveals just went up recently(ish).

Fic Recs )

♥ ♥
tjs_whatnot: (WC--Neal's ROCK ON face)
So, I thought this might be a fun way for me to be here with you all on a weekly basis. Every Wednesday, come and share a bit of what you're working on, whether it be fic, craft, art, meta or anything in between. It doesn't have to be fandom-related. But, if it's for a anonymous fest and your stuff is to be secret, then maybe don't share that? You could share any struggles, achievements and whatnot though.

Feel free to read other people's entries (if anyone else does this that is) and cheer/commiserate/bemoan with them.

Because this doing it one at a time thing isn't working for me if I have any hope of catching up.

Day 7

Create Something


Firstly, to fulfill that requirement in the allotted time of the challenge, here is what I created. This was for [personal profile] dancing_serpent's Day 6 Wishlist. It's Criminal Minds, which is something I love a lot, and yet, have never written for. I actually don't know how much I could really write for the fandom, as last night, getting into this psycho's head was way too much fun and entirely too easy. :((


Seared with Scars (1005 words) by tjs_whatnot
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Criminal Minds
Rating: Not Rated
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Aaron Hotchner, Vincent Perotta
Additional Tags: Angst
Summary:

Two sides of the same coin...



Secondly, all my holiday fics have now been revealed so I can post them here. Even though I don't usually put this stuff in a public post, fuck it, why not?

Now, ONTO [community profile] chocolateboxcomm!!!

And also hopefully filling other wishes for Snowflakers!

LET'S DO THIS!

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.

Day 03

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.


This is perfect actually. I had a lot of different posts I wanted to make today: A rec list, a post about the things I've recently written, and whatever the Snowflake challenge was today. So yay, two birds in one stone. The first two aren't the best I've ever written, but they are the most recent I've ever written (and I do like them a lot).

And this third one is just something short I wrote this year that I really sort of like a lot, but I don't know many people who read Doctor Who stuff, so it didn't really get too many reads. It was written for May's Merry Month of Masturbation... so there is that... ;)

Now on to a rec post. ♥♥
tjs_whatnot: (drunkeness--wasted minerva)


Fandom Snowflake Challenge banner


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. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Man, this is a sort of bad day for this. I'm having a pretty low-self esteem writing day. I don't even want to look at my stories. But I do want to remember the times when I wrote things for people and they were very happy to receive them and told me what it meant to them. So here, have some stories that someone at sometime liked rather a lot.
3 Old School Harry Potter Self Recs )

And I was going to go on and whine about the state of affairs in comments and lament that kudos and "likes" aren't equivalent and are sort of worse than no comment at all on gift fics, but then I remembered that this is a public post, and I don't want to be that person. Though, I guess I am and now adding passive-aggressive to the list of asshole-moves I possess--sorry about that.

Anyway. Fun challenge! I hope to check out some new fics on other people's posts as well. w00t! New-To-Me-Fic! ♥♥
