💕 self-love time! talk about which ones of YOUR creations (edits, artworks, fanfics) you like the most then send to other creators to do the same 💕
:O Oh no! I'm being attacked!
Hmm... Complicated! Most of my work actually hasn't been posted online and is still in the works so I don't necessarily have something to jazz hands at I feel like.
The PAM Initiative is on hiatus, but it's concept and the world building I've done for it is something I'm incredibly proud of and look forward to finishing one day. It's as close as I've gotten to original work outside of my dnd campaign and what its hoping to be is a scifi-esque political thriller that makes some commentary on real world issues I care about. (Which is why I haven't written it in a while, because those issues deserve a lot of care and attention and to be approached sensitively with research.)
Steelheart is still ongoing and is something I'm proud of not because I think it's the most interesting and best written thing I've ever made, but because it's pushing me to actually write which is hard to do!! I spent a lot of time dreaming of my worlds rather than actually breathing them into existence. There is so many problems with it and I'm barely through the first part of the beginning! That's a hard pill to swallow! But I love it for making me actually create and being that creative funnel.
This entire world is my most favorite creation because the characters are so rich and have so many aspects of my partner and I's life baked into them. They'll try not to take any of the credit since writing this world is "my baby" but it literally couldn't exist without them! They're the mind and heart behind Leo & Half Pint in particular, but they have shared custody of all my characters. It wouldn't be what it is without them.
Sunshine and by extension the character she was prior to amnesia (yes I'll be vaguing until we get to Two of a Kind even though its barely a surprise) is my babiest girl. My best worst girl. She's taught me self love and to be loud and proud and unapologetic about myself, all things I really really really struggle with. Is she the best one out of the bunch? I'd actually give that to Mae, but she's the one that has kept me hooked. The one I throw into all the other fandoms to see how she reacts to new stimuli. The one that means so much to me I want a tattoo inspired by her.
Bonus Round: No one read it because it's from HIGH SCHOOL but Unfortunate Roommates is my only completed work that's multi-chapter and I've always been proud of having something finished. It's from like, idk, six-seven years ago. Don't read it. I really did Kimball dirty in that fic, but it was the first time (and I think only time) someone made fanart of my fics????? And?????? For those reasons I have so much love in my heart for it.
I don't feel like I did this right but????? I dunno? Come yell at me again if it wasn't good enough self love haha <3
