Oops okay okay - face ?
From the WIP “From the Case Files of Dr. Elliott S. Gilbert, Ph.D., Music Therapist,” which may never actually go anywhere (though I still love the idea):
“OK, stand up.” When Kurt does, a confused look on his face, Elliott continues. “Sing me a couple of bars of the first thing that comes to your head. Don’t think, just sing...now.”
All the AUs ?
31. Do you read AUs? Yes, and I enjoy them for the most part.
32. Favorite AU tropes? college AUs, coffee shop AUs.33. Least favorite AU tropes? Badly researched historical AUs.34. Do you like UAs (universe-alterations, when the main universe and characters are the same but one plot point/decision/outcome is altered)? I do! 35. Do you like high school and college AUs? Yes! :-) 36. Do you like crossovers? If so, favorite crossover? I like them when they’re well executed. Picking a favorite is hard, but I’ll have to go with “The Sporting Life” by @hugealienpie, which is a Sports Night/Marvel Cinematic Universe crossover (and which was a gift to me because it came out of an idea I planted in HAP’s brain).37. How do you feel about parent!fics/lovechildren? How about mpreg? Not really my thing, the MPREG. And I’m not sure what is meant by parent!fics/lovechildren. I’m fine with “x and y are parents” when they’re not parents in canon.38. How do you feel about genderbending? De-aging? Animalizing? It depends on how well they’re written. @bead-bead’s “Checkmate” ‘verse will forever and always be my favorite animalizing AU. 39. Favorite AU fic? I… have no idea. Too many good ones. I reread “Hold the Line” (Glee AU) frequently. I also reread the two mentioned above a lot. But in almost every one of my fandoms (and I have many), I have a favorite AU fic.
I am in the throes of an epic dontbefanci fic reread. Since Friday I've finished "Candyman" and am more than half-way through "Hold the Line." "Angel in a Red Vest" is up next.

8) fic you worry might have hurt feels over lack of response
“That’s All We Heard About Brenda and Eddie,” a ridiculous Agents of SHIELD fic I wrote because I sometimes sing the line from “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant” as “They got an apartment with deep pile carpets/and a couple of agents from SHIELD.” It’s gotten very few hits, almost no kudos, and just one comment (my response makes it look like it has two comments). Which, OK. It’s a goofy story. But I worry it feels unloved.
9) Dark horse fic that took off
“All in a Night’s Work,” a story I wrote after Glee 5x15 (“Bash”). It’s from the POV of an OC, and I didn’t figure anyone would like it (because of the original character POV), but it has proven to be one of my most popular stories on AO3 (not that I have that many stories up; the most prolific of my fic-writing years were pre-AO3).
I can’t be the only one who has books/stories for which reading the sequel ruins the enjoyment of having read the first one (and who then has to wait a while and then reread the original to clear the palate).
I Hate That My Show Is Over But I Love a Closed Canon
An epic fanfic by me.
Headline: New Horizons Now Only 1 AU From Pluto
Me: Which alternate universe would that be?
Is a fandom tandem bike a thing? I mean, I’m seeing both Mason and Roderick bandied about as the newbie fandom bike, and yeah. So who says both can’t be?
