gracenmDay 8: In your own space, post self-recs for at least three fanworks that you created.
For all its faults as a fandom space, one thing that Tumblr has done for me is get me over my reluctance to self-rec. So! I'm actually going to do two lists, because the three I most want to rec are all Buffy/Angel and I don't get the sense that there are too many people here who are into that pairing. So I'll do a non-B/A list too, just for fun.
B/A Self-Recs
Psyche: This is a loose retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche that I wrote for the 2018 IWRY Marathon. It's set after both series (as well as After the Fall, but you don't have to have read it to get this — there are only a few references). This story is the one I'm the most insecure about, since it was my first attempt at a longer story (it's only 22K but that's long for me!), but I'd really love B/A fans to give it a try. (Rated teen & up)
Another Minute: This is a 2K one-shot that follows Buffy after the events of I Will Remember You, written for the 2017 IWRY Marathon. The response to this story was so amazing for me, since I really wasn't expecting much. It's my most popular in terms of hits and bookmarks. (Rated teen & up)
It's Only: I loved making this vid and I think it expresses a lot of why I love the Buffy/Angel pairing. It's not like what the popular vidders can do, but I still think it turned out pretty well. (Also, the experience of this gorgeous Odesza song is much better with headphones on, just FYI.)
Non-B/A Self-Recs
Blood Made Beautiful: This is a 2K one-shot set post-Chosen when Dawn is in college. Faith comes to town. They're not going to be friends. The Faith/Dawn pairing appeals to me so much and I loved writing this, particularly the little flashback to the Amends snow. I work the Amends snow into so many of my stories. (Rated teen & up)
Precipitation: Another 2K one-shot (those are definitely my bread-and-butter), also using the Amends snow, but this time with no Dawn. Instead, it's Faith and Cordelia, two incredibly fun characters to write and to pair up. (Rated teen & up)
Portions for Foxes: This has been my least popular vid, and my skills have improved since doing this, but I still think this Rilo Kiley song is so perfect for Buffy and Faith.
These all ended up as Faith femslash. Totally didn't plan that!
