Borrowed from littleheaven70...

I want you to tell me your favorite fic. The catch? It has to be YOURS - you wrote it. You love it. You tell me where it is and why it's your fave. Then, post this in your own journal.

All fandoms, all pairings, all ratings (and I decided all genres since I don't have prose). :o)

I can't tell you which one of my stories is my favorite. They're all my children.
I like one for the sheer perseverance of writing it, one for the smut, one for the way it's economic, one for the comedy, one because there's a section where the voices work particularly well, one because it has nice layers (more than meets the eye), one because when I look at it I really wonder 'did you write that?'
Sorry.

Fair enough. I think my favourite of yours -- one of my all-time faves -- is 'Things Present, Things past', because I just love me a good plotfic. Add time travel, and I'm in fanfic heaven.

But now I'm curious... which one of yours would you recommend if I were in the mood for comedy (which I am)?

I like my Spike/Xander slash story Cues & Balls, because I think the banter works nicely, but even funnier (but incomplete so far) is my Andrew/Anya romp Flight of Fancy. Can be found among my memories.
Unfortunately the pairing does not draw in readers. *shrug*

Scarborough Fair (http://www.myarseisnotpansy.co.uk/lesley/short/fair.html)'s my favourite, but it is angsty.
But if you're looking for a comedy, you might enjoy The Four Yorkshire Vamp Sketch (http://www.myarseisnotpansy.co.uk/lesley/short/yorks.html).

Thanks, I bookmarked 'Scarborough Fair' for when I'm in a more angsty mood.

I liked the vamp scetch. Well, we had it tough. We had to get up at midday, and lick the crypt clean.
*grin* Right. When we were younger we walked 20 miles to school, through snow and ice and stuff. (But seriously, the other day a 23-year-old told me that one can't ride one's bike in the winter, because then one's nose will start running, nevermind that is well above freezing, and really... fledgelings today... I can totally relate to the fanged four ;).)

Heh. 'm not a writer, but I think I'm kinda proud of Sanction (http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1564728)-- I think it packs quite a punch. And unlike my first and fluffy fic, this one's deliciously dark, just like the Faith and Wesley it features. And, to be honest, I am a canon whore, so I have a thing for anything fleshing out what happened on-screen...

(sorry to butt in on your LJ, astrid, but I had to point out...)

You are TOO a writer, dumbass. At least according to the definition we're going by on this planet. I like Sanction better too, even though I think Curve is prettier.
And that's not counting the Back in the Day fic that I haven't read yet...

Yup. What Deepa said (and Deepa, feel free to butt in any time, that's what it's for after all :).)

All the years of higher education and meticulous training draining away and leaving nothing she hadn't seen in a dozen, a hundred, other men: the sobbing eagerness to cling to this scrap of life, no matter what.

Not a writer? Insightful and beautifully written, more like. You've captured them both perfectly.

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks.

Especially for pointing out what spoke to you most.

Flash of genius, I tell you-- ein lichter Moment.

& ;-)

I keep hoping I'll bait my muse again some time soon-- got this fetching idea for a Buffy/Spike reunion...

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

Hee. You so sweet (even though these days, I mostly see your behind only when you're hurrying away. *g*)

And Curve is a darling little fic, fer sure. I heart Buffy and Faith when they let out their softer side for once.

Girl, we HAVE to chat sometimes!
