Seven Days of Self-Promotion - Day 3

Jun 13, 2014 23:47

Anyway, so here's my Seven Weeks of Self Promotion, hopefully there will be something entertaining:

The Days:
1. Something Old
2. Something New
3. Something you made for someone else
4. Something you made just for yourself
5. Something for a major fandom/pairing/character
6. Something for a minor fandom/pairing/character
7. Something you're just really proud of

My "Something I made for someone else" is actually the story that first got me started on Livejournal.  The story was " Flipsided" and it was done as a request for a charity auction.

I offered to write a Doctor Who story for the winner of the auction, the winner was
wiggiemomsi from here on Livejournal, and she requested a story where Rose got to kiss the 8th Doctor.

I only intended to write a short story, a couple of thousand words. But, it got away from me, and became a complete adventure 13,000 words long. Wiggiemomsi liked it so much she offered to host it  here on Livejournal. And that was my first introduction to Livejournal. I liked the idea of a site where writers could customize a journal to showcase their works. So I created an account, and set up my "Doctor Who Adventures" page. Which I still use as my main Doctor Who story archive. Stories go up here first, before I add them to any other site.

So it worked out well for both of us. All three actually, since the auction got some money, I got a website for my stories, the winner got a story where Rose gets to kiss 8 twice.

As well as a new race of aliens, an alien spaceship, multiple Doctors, Jack, Rose, 10, and more. And a runaround adventure when the 8th Doctor and the 10th Doctor are accidentally switched in time. While 10 and Jack, in 8's Tardis, try to figure out what happened and get back, Rose and 8 have problems of their own when the Tardis is invaded.

Flipsided was one of the first full adventures I wrote when I started writing fan fiction seriously, and I am very grateful that I got to write this story for someone else. Because it's turned out to be one of my most popular stories.

I even snagged one of Wiggiemomsi's 8/Rose icons as a cover, it really fits. Click on it to read the story.
