Still alive + meme

[estirose]

Work's been keeping me pretty busy (as well as tech projects on the side). I'm still trying to catch up, but in the meantime, here's a meme, snagged from edenfalling:

I currently have 397 works archived on AO3. Pick a number from 1 (the most recent) to 387 (the first thing I posted), and I'll tell you three things I currently like about it!

I know how much work catching up can be! It took me over a week. :/


ANNNND 67!

42 :) Come on, I had to!

126 sounds like a good number to me, and you only have double-digits so far.

How about 369?

It's not quite the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, but:

Is But A Weapon (Sekirei)

1. Considering how fast I had to write this (it was a pinch hit from last year's Yuletide), I'm so glad that this meshes so well with the anime universe, given I usually write manga universe for this series.

2. I smile every time I read it because I made a reference that was pretty much only for me and it didn't seem to have disrupted the story. (It's a reference to "The Knives and the Scraped Knee".)

3. I love the relationship between Uzume and Chiho and I'm so glad it came across so well to readers who had never seen the series.

That would be Crippled Bloodline (Sekirei)!

1. I loved writing the conversation between Minato and Homura. It works very well, given their relationship at that point in the manga.

2. I still amuse myself with Minato's hormones. I know he's terribly confused about his reactions to Homura's body, but it's a cute bit of awkward.

3. The reference to Space Pirate Mito works pretty darn well considering Homura's state in the story.

That would be Over The Borderline, a Power Rangers Time Force fic featuring Trip and Katie. (Or more specifically, Katie/Trip.)

1. I'm still very proud of the fact that I assembled a coherent fic out of 40 unrelated prompts.

2. It is, to this day, one of my favorite fics for this couple.

3. Gosh, I love the ending.

This is Protecting Secrets, which was cowritten with TpTigger and is part of our "Building Family" storyline. In it, Blake and Hunter are busy trying to hide their not-so-good living situation from Cam.

1. Like most of Building Family, this was incredibly fun to write.

2. I also, despite the actual grimness of the story, love reading it because it has the Bradley brothers playing cat and mouse with Cam, which is kind of fun in itself.

3. And of course, Cam has the good taste to own an Echo. :)
