I chose three works that I just plain old like for different reasons. They're not my favourite things written or my defining fics. They're just ones that for different reasons were extremely enjoyable to write.
1. O sea-starved, hungry sea (Sam/Dean, NC-17) I had the shittiest December for writing ever. I was ill, miserable, and so devoid of ideas. I must've written two or three fics for my recipient and none of them had even vestigial legs. I thought I was going to have to last minute default. Then when I started writing this, I couldn't stop. It was the biggest relief to write something that I liked and that flowed. I think it's one of the better things I wrote in 2015, and it was so amazing to end the year on a high note of producing something that wasn't forced.
2. Love Tokens (J2, NC-17) picking this one because it was a big departure for me. I don't really do much darkish fic, I feel like I struggle to make it creepy enough. So with this one I skipped attempting darkness and focused on atmosphere, and lo and behold some creepiness showed up! It's still a love story, just a bit of a messed up one. It was pretty fun to let loose with it and try something different, and I'm gonna say it worked.
3. Welcome Back (Katie/Effy, NC-17) I think this is the only fic on which I have never got a comment. However this is not surprising. It is F/F, relatively explicit, a rare pair, contains the following tags: "Early Menopausal Character" and "Canon appropriate slurs" and worst of all (for people who know the canon) "Post Skins Fire". All that is essential to know is that Katie is a bit of a dick, Effy is also a dick, they both shagged Freddy, and that at the end of the series Effy was going to prison for financial double dealing. I essentially wrote it because I wanted what I always want - femslash that's nothing about chaste love or much about love at all. Also it makes me laugh when I reread it, in a way that's nothing to do with writing jokes and everything to do with that particular painful early twenties tone of canon.
