First up, you guys won't be seeing me for a few days, because tomorrow night, oh gods it's so soon, my hubby, better known to you all as ![[insanejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/ij-userinfo.gif)
icedark_elf, is coming to steal me off to her place hereafter and we're driving back with the aid of one of our buddy pals. Nervous ans jittery and excited is me ::cough::
So, in the meantime, I leave you with a meme.
Name five stories/art pieces that you are proud of, and say why you are proud of them.
How bout five stories and a piece of art instead? ::had to narrow it down from 12 things altogether, thinks she did well::
Everything has an Ending
This fic was my first time touching on my pet pairing of Zechs and Duo. It is also more of a tribute than a deathfic, but, in all, I like how it is composed, and it will likely be one of those that I will like well into my writing career, even if I feel some of my fiction from that fandom badly needs editing and rewrites.
Just a Dream
This was the first piece of Fullmetal Alchemist fiction I ever wrote. It was, believe it or not, started with full intention of using Duo Maxwell from Gundam Wing as the character focus, but somehow it evolved into what it is, a morbid, saddening tale from the view of an Edward who lost everything. I always loved how it came out, and I can't say I regret it not holding to whatever idea I had in the first place.
Hopeful Hungry
I wrote this on a challenge, because I was told that it could not be convincingly done. The story itself is Gluttony/Ed, and it was the first one with that particular pairing ::laughs:: in English anyway. I was stunned when, on it's original posting, it got such a good reception, but I loved it myself, because Gluttony was himself, and that made the story for me.
Scarlet Webs
I have never felt so tired as the day I finished this fic. 11075 words long, I took a mass of prompts and wrote a concept that came to me. I love the thought of 'what if?' I love to take characters on a different path, be that choices of a gender change. This is the story of Sephiroth as a woman, flickers of her life from beginning to another beginning. It is, in honestly, one of the fics I am proudest of in the entirety of my writing career.
Seminar
So many people write a bad Sephiroth. They write bad Clouds, they write bad Zacks. With the encroachment of Crisis Core, it's only going to get worse, with bad versions of those poor new characters too. This story is from the viewpoint of an original character, and it deals with the serious cliche that is 'rapist Sephiroth' and is, in essence, a Meta fic that mocks those who refuse to learn. You have no idea how hard this was for me to write, as some parts needed to illustrate what I was mocking, but I love the results, and I won't ever forget the effort I put into it.
And the picture!:
<a href="http://skeren.insanejournal.com/114419.html</a>For A Party</a> Zack, in a dress. This isn't, ironically, why I am proud of the picture. He is the best Zack I've ever drawn. Yes, he is dolled up, yes he's in leather and a skirt and makeup, yes the background is hodgepodge at best. But he looks like Zack. He has muscles and is plainly not a girl, his fingers actually look like fingers and you get a sense of realism from the whole thing. Yes, it has flaws, I can see them and can't fx them, but I love the picture just the same.
