Meme gacked from rabidsamfan

Rec-Go-Round: Rec me one story you've written (preferably fan fiction, but if you've not written any fanfic, then you can rec an original piece instead) that you're proud of, any genre, here on my LJ.

Then go forth and ask the same in yours.

ETA: poems are also good. Or essays.

I'm *hoping*, of course, for hobbitfic I've never read before. But if it's Elves, Dwarves or Men, or original fic, or fic in another fandom, I'll give it a look-see as well.

Since you've read all of my LotR, here's a link to one of the best of my Harry Potter stories:

Title: The Music of a Soul
Rating: PG for angsty darkness
Summary: A one-shot in which Sirius learns first hand of the power of the Dementors in his first few weeks at Azkaban.
Link: http://www.sugarquill.net/read.php?storyid=2485&chapno=1

Oh, Jackie! What a beautifully angsty piece that was! That was wonderful, and filled in beautifully what it must have been like for Sirius as the Dementors drained him. Having his hopes embodied in music made it seem much more real, than just saying his good memories were being taken away. Brilliant!

I've been rereading my journal, and I'd forgotten about this, but it's not half bad. Set after The Ringbearer and the Rose.

[dreamflower]

Thanks so much! That was wonderful, a powerful piece! I left more thorough feedback there!

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

Eum I am not sure what hobbity stories you read of me :c) I only have three of them LOL. I know you like Bilbo, so hmmm how about

Of
Flustering and Blustering ? I loved writing Bilbo.

If not, I am very proud of my most recent ficlet, Eulogy for a lost companion, but it isn't up yet.

[dreamflower]

Oh, that's delightful! I *love* Bilbo stories, and you have him very much in character there! It was a cozy and hobbity story, with just a little bit of the dark foreshadowing of the future. Bilbo's a wonderful host, and I'm so glad you shared this with me!

[maidenform.livejournal.com]

I'm fond of my fic Occlumency. (http://community.livejournal.com/7spells/85409.html#cutid1) I apologize that it's not LOTR, but I think it is my best work yet. It is Harry Potter bookverse, Regulus/Bellatrix. I hope you like it.

[dreamflower]

That was very dark and poetic. The images were very vivid. I've not read much HP fic, so I'm not up on the fanon. Is Regulus/Bellatrix a common pairing?

[maidenform.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. I think that it is, although Sirius/Bellatrix and Regulus/Sirius seem to be more so. It's my favourite pairing, however.

[surgicalsteel.livejournal.com]

*shrugs* Think you've read all the LotR fic I've written - and mercifully, the incredibly bad Star Trek fic I wrote in high school and college was lost in my first move from Florida to Massachuestts.

[dreamflower]

Yes, I think I have. I guess that means you will have to write some more...*shoves bunnies in your direction*how's Sam recovering from his surgery?*

You wrote bad ST fic? LOL! I think nearly everyone has done that!

[surgicalsteel.livejournal.com]

Oh, my yes, the Trek fic was bad. *hangs head, whispers* It was a Mary Sue.

And regarding Sam and the appendectomy... *sighs* That cranky bitch Serinde, being the strong-willed person that she is is flat-out refusing to talk to me any more about that time line at the moment. Seems she'd rather hang out in the AU where she's not a grieving widow. *sighs more*

[dreamflower]

Remind Serinde that she's a healer, and needs to take care of her patients no matter *which* reality they happen to be in!

*tsk-tsk*uppity OC characters*know what you mean*seem to think they have a life of their own sometimes...*

[slightlytookish]

Really interesting meme!

I don't *think* you read my latest, so here's the link:

"Dawn at Cormallen"
http://slightlytookish.livejournal.com/112473.html

Non-slash, rated G, hobbits, etc etc

:)

[dreamflower]

Oh, thank you for the link! I remember seeing it, and being interrupted, and meaning to go back and read...that was utterly adorable!

[topaztook.livejournal.com]

I think you have read all my LOTR stories as well, since you’re pretty in tune with SOA.

So, here is a Muppet/X-Files crossover (action-adventure/humor) that I think has stood the test of time well. Very, very G-rated:

Muppet / X-files?!?!?!

Oh, this I HAVE to see... LOL!

[dreamflower]

Oh my golly! That was utterly brilliant! One of the things I missed most about my son getting older was losing my excuse to watch Sesame Street! And we *loved* the Muppet Show when it was first on!


In fact, my son adored it! He was about five one time; I had gotten dressed up for church, and had curled my hair. He looked at me with admiration, and said "Mommy, you look beautiful, just like Miss Piggy!"

I just about died trying to keep a straight face, because he really meant it as a compliment!

And I remember how much I enjoyed the first few seasons of X-files as well! That *was* when it was at its best!

However did you come up with such a crazy yet wonderful combination?

[topaztook.livejournal.com]

Your Miss Piggy story is adorable. I'm sure he *did* mean it as a compliment!

The crossover combination was actually a response to a challenge... written back when I was young and single and jobless, so had time to do challenges. :)

[elasg.livejournal.com]

You got a new layout for your LJ! (either that or I am hopelessly out of touch!)

Hmmm... I have NO idea how much of my stuff you've read, so I am going to gamble and find one of my Harem pieces. Believe it or not, I did write several that were G or PG.

Title: Baby Talk
http://www.bagendwest.net/BabyTalk.htm
Rating: PG
Summary: Written for a fellow haremite in the last two weeks of her first pregnancy.

[elasg.livejournal.com]

I should preface this post by also providing this link - http://www.bagendwest.net/UmmSorryIndex.htm - probably the funniest thing I ever wrote - and it explains how the above story came about.

[grey-wonderer.livejournal.com]

Was reading everyone's posts and saw the words, 'probably the funniest thing I ever wrote' and so I bookmarked it to read over the weekend. I would read tonight if it weren't for my evil job and being on time and awake for that nonsense. LOL

[dreamflower]

Oh, that was sweet! I've only read a very few Harem fics, but I loved this, the second person POV, and the sweetness of Frodo!

And, yeah, it's a relatively new layout. Had it a couple of weeks, ever since danachan made me some lovely new icons I wanted to be able to show off. That's the cool thing about this one--it really shows the icons off!

[elanor1013.livejournal.com]

I don't know if you've read this or not!

Coming Home
A story about young Frodo just coming to Bag End.
http://elanor1013.livejournal.com/27653.html

Can you rec me one of yours in a comment? I don't have time to get too many recs that I don't have time to read, but I'd love to see yours. :)

[dreamflower]

Having read your lovely little fic--I commented there, hope you don't mind--I think you might like these:

A Place for Gandalf (This covers the same time period as your sweet little story, and is my own take on Frodo's coming to live at Bag End. It's 10 chapters, but they are each relatively short ones.)

Waiting for Bilbo (And if you don't have time for the other, this is a little one-shot; Frodo and Merry, the last Yule before he leaves Brandy Hall.)
