the five stories meme

[cornerofmadness]

I've done this a couple of times and well it's never the same meme twice for me since i'm always writing and my moods and likes change daily so here goes.

in honor of the upcoming Buffy anniversary this weekend I'll start with fic in that universe (note, both will take you off LJ)

Hyperion’s Son

there's nothing in the rules about not picking a WIP. I love this story. Even with it faltering in recent months (that's being generous i know), i think it's probably one of the better things I've ever written. (Note FRM - explicit drug use)

Psychedelic Butterfly Some may be wondering why i picked a gender switch fic that borders on crack. It's Spike/Dru for one (with young Ethan and Giles which makes it hard to resist) Also, it was my very first challenge fic and I think I did a good job with it. Of course I haven't reread it in a few years so I might regret this. (note -FRMAO, gender switch, masturbation)

in the realm of Fullmetal Alchemist i have another two

Why They Call It Falling - this was written before the Roy/Riza history revealed in the Ishbal arc but i still love it and so do others. I think this story brought me the most readers in a new fandom and it still remains popular with them. It's one of my few attempts at romance that actually worked. (note -FRMAO)

Funeral of Hearts Pt 1 and Funeral of Hearts Pt 2 This story is still the best story I've written that no one has bothered to read. I'm not sure if its the frank treatment of rape and its aftermath or the idea of a polyamorous relationship but outside of my two betas exactly one person has ever let me know their opinions on it. I still think emotionally this is one of my strongest works. (note -FRMAO, hetero and homosexual relationships, polyamorous)

and lastly from Saiyuki

This Side of Paradise Does this one really deserve to be here? I don't know. Maybe I'm fond of it because it's my first story in yet another new fandom or because it was just so much damn fun to write. Come on, a homage to the granddaddy of all sex pollen stories, what's not to love (note -FRMAO, homosexual relationships)


okay note I picked a lot of erotica...huh. Imagine that. Well enjoy. Feel free to tell me if you think i should have picked something else

Hey, I didn't know BtVs was having an anniversary. Details, details!

And I'm going to make a point to read 'Funeral of Hearts' this afternoon after the cable guys (yes, they're coming back today) finish installing our new tivo setup, and I'll give you a mini review when I'm done :)

It's really a good story. I re-read it a few months ago and loved it all over again.
