Finally got to a computer to do this. Thanks @orchidscript and @xthelastknownsurvivorx for the tags.
Rules: list your first fics in every fandom and how you feel about them.
A couple of the fandoms are probably messed up because I am an elder and got my start on f f . n e t and transferred some, not all, over to AO3 when I joined up. Please note that I know at least one of my fandoms is problematic but it's an honesty thing so I'm not gonna leave it out.
When the Dust Clears - Felicity Smoak/Tommy Merlyn; T; 15,355 words
I was totally obsessed with this ship from day one, despite being an Oliver/Felicity shipper on the show. I haven't re-read this in ages but I was very proud of it when I wrote it and posted it. One day I think I'll go back and see whether it holds up.
Chronicles of Narnia (Movies/All Media)
Woman to Girl - Lucy Pevensie & Prince Caspian; G; 1,305 words
I loved Lucy and Caspian. Originally, I was so angry with the film franchise making Susan and Caspian a thing, so I had to go back and write more with my faves. I think Ben Barnes had a LOT to do with me getting into this fandom. I think this is short and sweet and a conversation Lucy definitely needed to have with someone. I enjoyed writing it, but again, I haven't been back to read it in a few trips through the wardrobe.
One Obvious Truth - David Jacobs/Katherine Plumber; G; 1,836 words
I think getting to this story made me realize how much I enjoy rare ships - lol. I really liked writing this series and combining the two iterations of one of my favorite pieces of art. This is the first in the series and I think the story is set up well here, but the writing improves later on.
Harry Potter (Books/Movies)
Family Legacies - Lucius Malfoy/Narcissa Black, Rodolphus Lestrange/Bellatrix Black; T; 2,431 words
This is not the first story I wrote for this fandom - and gosh wouldn't it be weird if it was - but it's the first one I added to AO3, so here we go. I am inordinately proud of this deep dive. It made me emotional when writing it and still does. I'm the kind of person who needs an explanation for things and if I'm not told, I make it up (when it's low stakes, obv.)
Red White & Royal Blue (Book/Movie)
The Making of a King - Martha FMW/Philip FWM, ACD/Prince Henry
I was terrified to enter into this fandom and start writing. I didn't feel like I would be able to do justice to Alex or Henry. So I started with Pip. I love this story. I loved writing about the man we all generally do not like. I loved shaping him. I still go back and read this one from time to time. It's obvious I'm new to the fandom at this point but I think it was a great jumping off point.
Heated Rivalry (Books/TV Show)
Going Up - Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov; T; 2,934 words
Ah, my newest obsession. Let's be real - I'm still not very comfortable writing in this fandom but I love it so much that each week I try a little more. This one had some one-liners I'm proud of. It's the start of what may or may not be another writing spree in a fandom that has incredible writers. I like it, I don't love it, but it was a safe place to start for me.
Thanks for following me on this weird glimpse back into my fandoms!
I'm not going to tag anyone because I'm so late to the party, but if this is something you haven't been tagged on and want to do, go for it! Tell 'em Sam sent ya.
