Fandom Snowflake Challenge Day 9: "My Fanworks"

Day 9

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


My Fanworks

My most popular fanwork is undoubtedly the series Love Is For Children (MCU / Avengers).  I got the idea from Natasha's line in the Avengers, when I realized that nonsexual ageplay would help the Avengers heal from their mostly-awful childhoods.  So Phil cobbles together various cooperative and therapeutic exercises to create Game Night.

Frankenstein's Family is a gothic fluff series inspired by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's novel.  Victor and Igor make a baby together, literally, and over time they develop a queerplatonic relationship.  It's also an exploration of what would really  happen when you put two geeks over a village full of uneducated peasants.

The short story "What Fireworks Are Like" explains why John Watson detests them, in language that Sherlock can understand.

The vignette "Off the Rack" explains what temptation finally seduced Dean Winchester into torturing someone in Hell.

The vignette "A Rendesvous with Death" is ekphrastic fiction inspired by this picture, and features Batman's response to White Nose Syndrome.


Shared Worlds and Open-Source Fandoms

If you're looking for a new fandom to write in and/or mix with your current fandom(s) then here are some options:

The Blueshift Troupers is designed as a science fiction setting for creators and characters of color.  It features upbeat tales of galaxy-roaming rescue.

Schrodinger's Heroes is quantum science fiction about saving the world from alternate dimensions, with a highly diverse cast.  If you like cats, see LOL_HEROES, it doesn't require much context.  The Crossovers page features mashups with Sherlock Holmes and the Hulk, among others.

The Ursulan Cycle is genderbent Arthurian Cycle.  Almost all of the characters are female, and they have all kinds of adventures.


What are some of your favorite fanfics, by me or other people?

My favourite fanfic by you has still gotta be the Waxahatchie Tea Party. Just good giggly fun.

I think my favourite meta-fanfic has got to be the plot outline for the Harry Potter saga where the Houses *respect* each other, even Slytherin (both directions), and they put their heads together and gang up on old Moldymort and the whole Dumbledore's Death to the Battle of Hogwarts thing turns out VERY differently.... with a lot more survivors...

Oh, and there's a particularly good novel-length MacGyver fanfic written by a once and future friend of mine, set in Ireland during the tag end of the Troubles, called Up a Long Ladder... she does your level of research when writing, and it shows. (My Mother, who likes tales from that era, liked it, only she complained about the language, not being nearly as salty as me or me da.... "But mummy, I've *known* an Irishwoman, that's how they .... really talk!" (you *know* I was thinking "feckin'" there.... ;) )

If nothing else, read the last chapter. It stands up fairly well by itself, and has music in... and the definition of craic is priceless. :)

Only half the night; I goofed, it's only 32kwords, novella length. All the more reason to stay up! ;)
