Snowflake Challenge - Day 1
Day One
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.
I've looked at this challenge all three years they've held it, but this year finally decided to go for it. Hmmm. How about something old, something new, and something blue? The "borrowed" is courtesy of JK Rowling. One for fic and one for art.
Fic:
Old:
Title: Not Rare Enough
Author: accioslash
Rating: PG
Word Count: 564 words
Summary: A witch learns her son is a Squib.
Written for wizard_trauma and is Pansy-centric. Rough in spots, but I think I can see the beginnings of my current writing style here. And this fic defines me in so many ways.
New:
Title: Discovery
Author: accioslash
Rating: PG
Word Count: 375 words
Summary: James discovers something about his father and Severus Snape.
Written for the "Pride" Challenge at snape_potter. As a reader, I love crisp, sparse writing and I was practicing here. I always intended for this one to be just a one-off, but I may yet revisit this one. Much as I like it, it is also the one thing I wrote that I felt received more attention than it merited.
Blue:
Title: Miles to Go
Author: accioslash
Rating: R
Word Count: +/- 1,900 words
Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *Depression and recovery*
Prompt:"I don't want any more of this try, try again stuff. I just want out. I’ve had it. I am so tired. I am twenty and I am already exhausted." ~Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation
Summary: But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep. ~Robert Frost
Written for snape_potter's Snarry-a-Thon (which is coming around again soon). Hm. I did write happier things this year, too. But this is my first explicit piece of Snape/Harry, though the fic really isn't at all about the sex. I really am proud of this one.

Old:
Title: Warnings, Part 1 and New and Improved! Fic Warnings Part 2....Now with EWE
Author: accioslash
Rating: G
Summary: Putting the "er..." back in "Spoiler Warning" since 2009.
It was really tough trying to choose because I like a lot of my stuff. ;D I do like my character sketches, especially for Countdown to Christmas, but am linking a few under "new" and "blue", so instead went with this one. About every six months or so the "spoiler warnings" debate crops up with most people planted firmly on one side or the other and no amount of arguing on either side appears to make any difference. So I decided it was time to put the "er..." back in spoiler and created my own system of spoiler warnings. ;D
New:
Title: My Three Sons
Artist: accioslash
Rating: G
Summary: Character Sketches of all-grown-up Harry Potter, Teddy Lupin, James and Al Potter
I'm a Snape fan first and foremost - always. But there is just something about canon Dad!Harry that melts my heart. There are bonus sketches of Lily Luna, Mom!Ginny, and Rose Weasley as well as a color version of Albus Severus that looks like my muse was channelling a comic strip I recall reading as a kid - Dondi.
Blue:
Title: Character Sketches - Dudley Dursley
Artist: accioslash
Rating: G
Summary: Aunt Petunia often said that Dudley looked like a baby angel - Harry often said that Dudley looked like a pig in a wig.
Combine the genes of Vernon Dursley and Petunia Evans and this is what you get.
Bonus Roxanne Weasley on the same page. A personal favorite of mine.
