chanter1944In your own space, post self-recs for at least three fanworks that you created. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
See why I said squirm? :)
1:
All Through The Night
Babylon 5, late season 1, Winters/Sinclair but firmly in the realm of ace erotica, at least for the most part. Talia has a few daydreams that keep recurring. Warnings for the PsiCorps and their A+ views on human interaction, touch starvation related to the above, lots of tropes deliberately warped via daydreaming, some headcanon that I'm told is quite plausible, and one sneakity spoiler for season 4 that only makes sense if you've already been spoiled.
This story... was truly painful to write, see my end notes for why, and yet I adore it so. And if you've been reading this journal for a while, or if you otherwise know me, you might well understand what that's all about. I really was not going for a self-insert here, but...

Ship Lights
Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country meets Diane Duane's Young Wizards series of books. Spoilers abound for the opening of the referenced movie. For the Excelsior and her crew, it's all about knowing how to turn, or trusting those who do.
This is one of the *counts* five Star Trek/Young Wizards crossovers I've posted so far, and knowing both series will definitely help with its intelligibility. I remain more proud than I likely should be of Sulu's narrative voice and viewpoint here. Plus, Rand is awesome (again/still), and everybody knows it, which is exactly how it should be.

Lighted Display
Original poetry, set in the orange!verse Schrodinger's Heroes offshoot series. 30+ people, represented by as many light sources.
This is laced throughout with a zillion direct lifts from my own childhood, growing up quirky in small town east central/southern Wisconsin, and by that I mean light choices as well as characters. Ask me who Jilly, Mary, Gloria and Squirt both are and were, just to start. I know it likely means a lot less to the rest of the world. I should write out all the underlying stories to go with the light sources I picked for characters, really...
