yuletide reveal
as you should be aware, yuletide authors have been revealed.
this year i wrote three stories:
to forge the steel, an assassins (musical) fic for nextian. this was my original fic, and therefore the one i worried the most about. it came out as well as could be expected, considering i almost didn't offer assassins this year. i am most proud, in this fic, of booth's dialogue. it really flowed for me, and people seemed to like it.
the main thing that was different for me about this is that i tried to write slash subtext. nextian requested slash, and even though i'm not yet comfortable writing it yet, i thought i would hint at it. apparently that came through, so yay!
this fic owes a ton to the betas: wrabbit and truth. they really, really helped, as it was in bad shape before they got their hands on it.
wearing down life, was a pinch hit written for anythingbutblue. it is a trigun fic, based on the anime as per request, which is good as i haven't read the manga. this one i really liked when i wrote it. it is a bit ridiculous, i admit, in that i have wolfwood chasing a cat and an oc called blah. this story showcases my great inability to name characters.
this fic was easy for me to write, but once i posted i really started to worry about it. i had actually never written in a translated fandom before (i watched it subbed) and am not 100% about the character voices. in terms of reception, well, the recipient liked it, and that is what mattered
do robots dream of electric pineapples was a treat for pocketmouse. the fandom was psych, and the plot is crack. really. i made shawn a robot for real. therefore, obviously, it was my most popular fic.
the weird thing is, this is the only one of three i wrote to make a point. shawn is played by james roday, who is latino, though the character is portrayed as white. the actors who play his parents are both white, with blonde hair and blue eyes. how this works is never mentioned on the show. my solution was to make shawn a robot.
people thought it was funny, which is good. i had never actually set out to write something funny before, and am glad it succeeded.
the comments on my fics have been nice, but the best parts of this whole yuletide are the wonderful people from #yultide chat. ♥ s you all.
