Another year is over and there are hopefully a lot of new stories to write. I took some time to lean back and look at all the stuff I've written since 2015, the year I joined ao3 and started writing MCU fics.
Now it's 2021 and I've finished 69 fics. Not that bad, I guess :) Writing is still as much fun as it always has been and I hope that number will grow steadily during the course of this year.
I also want to take this opportunity and thank everybody who has ever decided to read one my fics. A special thanks to every comment writer, they are the greatest gift you can give to a writer.
Today I went over my catalog and tried to come up with a ranking. Which ones do I like the most, which ones do I think are my best, which ones do I sometimes re-read myself. I've come up with two lists, one for oneshots. The other ones for longer fics. Trying to rank them was ridiculously hard and also kind of fun. So here you go, my ranking of what stories I like the most:
It's my favourite oneshot. I am proud of the entire, the open ending, I like the romance. I wouldn't change anything about it.
Stephen and Loki are dating and one doesn't want to admit it. It was such fun to write
One of my earliest works. Ever since I've been trying to recapture that humor
My answer to the all the TonyxBucky fanfics out there. I love the way it turned out
5. Scheduling difficulties
This one is crack and sometimes I need just that
I have a soft spot for Loki/OMC stories. This was my first one
Civil War aftermath, featuring Loki who is trying to pull Tony to the dark side. It's 3229 words of torturing Tony
8. Extracurricular activities
There has to be some smut in my Top 10, right?
Can't help it. I watch too much true crime and love the idea of Loki as a serial killer
Who doesn't need Peter Parker protecting Tony Stark every one in a while?
1. You've got a friend in me
I think it's my best work. Period. Every second I spent writing it was bliss and I'm so content with the ending I came up with.
Honestly, I don't know why, but it's probably the one I re-read the most. It's so amazing that this fic turned out so popular although I paired Loki with an OMC. It makes me so proud.
Such a huge piece, but I never doubted that I would finish it. I came to love all the original characters. I guess it is the fic that most work went into, I almost filled an entire notebook to keep up with all the story lines
My most popular one. I am still amazed how fast I managed to write it all down. At that time I needed to somehow vent all those feelings that Civil War caused and I am very pleased with the result.
I adore Loki and Doctor Strange together. Sometimes I wish the fic would be a little longer, but overall I love it
The continuation of Catfishing. I went on a hiatus for over a year and thought I would never finish it, but when I started working on it again, it was fantastic and a lot of fun
This is kind of a personal fantasy. Loki destroying everything and everyone that he considers a threat to the person he loves.
Writing this one was... odd. I was filled with this 'I hate Team Cap' energy when I started writing it and then I began focusing on other fics, almost forgot about this one. When I picked it back up, I didn't feel as strongly about the movie anymore. Nevertheless, I enjoyed finishing it
What can I say? I like Steve and Loki together. Moreover, I wanted to try a different take on the 'Memory loss' trope. I am quite satisfied with the way it turned out. Perhaps the ending needed a little more polishing.
I guess this is my most controversial work, but pretty much perfectly reflects me as a writer. I started writing it, thinking it would be a Stucky fic and then the characters took over. I don't regret anything
