This is how it works. Whoever started this meme left five "clues," which were passed onto me via multiple flisters (I don't care if it's DW, they're still flisters). I've responded, below the cut, with the five fics that meet the criteria of the clues. You can do so too, should you wish, and/or leave a clue for me. The clues can be anything from "Your favorite fic" to "Fic in which the most characters died" to "A fic that includes both a threesome and a wrench."
1. Your fic with the closest word count to 1,662 words.
2. Your fic in the rarest fandom you write in.
3. The longest fic you've ever written.
4. The fic that's title starts with the last letter of your user name.
5. Fic written for your favorite prompt you've ever gotten.3
1. Your fic with the closest word count to 1,662 words.
According to the AO3's admittedly buggy word counter, that'd be
A History of Violence (BtVS, Spike/Dru) at 1,654 words.
2. Your fic in the rarest fandom you write in.
Well, my yuletide fic,
Glories Stream, for Dar Williams' song whose name I'll not type, being Lent and all, but which begins with "All-" and ends in "-eluia," from her album The Honesty Room, certainly would count, I think. Outside of Yuletide one-offs, I'd say The Parent Trap, a fandom I've
written three fics in (and may have more percolating, I'm not sure).
3. The longest fic you've ever written.
Divine Interventions (BtVS, Dawn-centric ensemble) at 32,906 according to AO3.
4. The fic that's title starts with the last letter of your user name.
There's twelve fics with titles beginning with "I":
I Don't Know Why You Say Goodbye, I Say Hello (BtVS, Wesley/Xander)
I'm Awfully Fond of You (XMM, Bobby/Rogue, Kitty/Mindee, with illustration by
ladyphoenixmage)
If on a Yuletide morn a slasher (If on a winter's night a traveler. . .)
Imagined Grace (AXM, Kitty/Emma)
Improbability Theorem (AtS, Fred & Lilah)
Improvement (BtVS, Dawn & Warren's ghost)
In Soviet Russia, Femslash Writes You (RPF, Kristen Bell/Hayden Panettiere)
In Times of War (BtVS, futurefic gen)
Incurable (The "All You Zombies" Remix) (River/Giles/McGonagall)
Into the Darkness (BtVS, Illyria/Dracula)
Into the Woods (BtVS, Buffy/Kennedy)
It Isn't Even Past (BtVS, Willow gen)
5. Fic written for your favorite prompt you've ever gotten.
WGA vs. Zombies (RPF, Joss & Summer) was written to
wisdomeagle's prompt of Joss & Summer with zombies.
And, for fun, the "alternate clues" mentioned in the meme.
6. Your favorite fic.
Richard the Third, Act Two, Scene Three, Line Sixteen (Ender's Game, Peter/Petra, Val/Petra).
7. Fic in which the most characters died.
Not Quite Queen of the Damned (BtVS/VMars) has some quite massive character death.
8. A fic that includes both a threesome and a wrench.
Well,
Watcher, Ret. (Xander/Giles/Oz) includes shop class, so I guess it counts.
