That "pimp your own fic" meme

[dreamflower]

So...

Sometimes it's ok to pimp yourself out. Post a list of your top five fic-favorites you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same.



My first choice is my longest story. This was the story which more than any of the others, helped me to develop my vision of the Shire and its society, especially post-Quest:
A New Reckoning

Second is not a story, but a poem. A sestina is not a simple type of poem, and I think it was probably the most difficult of my poems to write, but I was very pleased with how it turned out:
I: Like Inspiring Ilúvatar

This one is in my favorite list, because it is such fun to write! I had a great time figuring out Miss Dora's personality. And there was no plot, I just get to think about hobbits being hobbity!
Miss Dora Baggins’ Book of Manners

This story is one that just *came* to me, just as if Merry were dictating it to me. It was like a gift. And the title is a line from one of my favorite songs:
Neither Have I Wings to Fly

Now like several others, I had a hard time choosing only five--so I cheated, because the last two were a tie.

This was my first attempt at a canon gapfiller. It was fun, and challenging. I do see some flaws in it now that indicate just how much of a newbie I was. (It was only my third story.) But I really enjoyed figuring out how all of those gaps could be filled:
A Conspiracy of Hobbits

And this is my Pippin/Diamond (though it is very nearly a Merry/Estella as well). I really liked discovering "my" Diamond:
It Takes a Took

I actually probably have several other favorites as well, but tonight, *these* are at the top of my list.


I'm not going to tag anyone! Seems like almost everyone else has done it already! But if you haven't I'd love it if you would!
