Vel's Epic Post of Ficcage Fail!
Well, I've been debating for months (and in some cases over a year) whether to post certain fics up on my LJ or leave them buried on whatever com, FF.net, or even my own computer, I'd left them. After a while the completionist in me overwhelmed my innate laziness, and so here they are (or well, here those that actually got finished).
Each of these fics, for one reason or another, left a bad taste in my mouth -- often having more to do with the circumstances surrounding the fic more than the fic itself. They aren't horrible, but they aren't really stellar works either. In each case I started them with really high hopes, but somewhere along the way (during in one case), I lost faith in them.
Now Fanficrants would tell me that if I didn't like a fic, I shouldn't post it -- but there really isn't anything intrinsically god-awful about these fics, and someone other than me might find them enjoyable, and for that reason, I've decided to give them a benefit of a doubt.

And in case anyone wanted to see a cleaned up version of my Drunken Fic, I spell checked it, fixed some grammar, and reposted it. I'm not actually unhappy about this one, but it's really nothing new.
