Fandom Snowflake Challenge - Day 8

[raveninthewind]

Day 8 - Post self-recs for at least three fanworks that you created.

This was a bit tricky. I'm a rec'er, and occasionally a beta reader, not a writer/creator. But if you stretch the definition, I can come up with three things. :)

1. My first and only fanfic was written back in May 2004 for the Giles/Oz Ficathon in year_of_oz, for
   kindkit. IMO, it's held up OK. I'm an editor, not a writer, but I wanted to challenge myself with this, and I felt good about the experience overall, as painful as it was to eke out this story. Years ago (closer to the time I wrote it), I posted about the story here.

2. I've made many, many recs in countless fandoms, and if you check my tags you will find lots to read. However, I am nostalgically pleased with the body of recs I made over the years for the sorely missed community Crack Van. I've tagged all of my recs, and you can find them here:

3. I created one challenge in my time in fandom, 31 Flavors, although I don't think anyone ever told me if they completed it. I don't mind because it was a challenge more to motivate myself to post recs after Crack Van ended. I noticed that I lost some of my fannish enthusiasm when I wasn't sharing stories with folks online.
   
   I liked my challenge because it was loose enough to suit any rec'er: post a rec a day, of any theme or type, in a month with 31 days.
   
   I used this for Day 12 because I do love it: https://raveninthewind.dreamwidth.org/1269976.html
