Snowflake Challenge, Day 1

If you don't know about the snowflake Challenge, and want to, click here.

The Challenge for today is In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator.

Actually I find it quite hard to blow my own trumpet - but I am best known by some people for the Return of the Key series - so I thought perhaps to actually start by a rec for that original story, which featured both characters from the Buffyverse and those from Lord of the Rings.

Return of The Key - 17 chapters long, rated FR15.

Then I have a favourite which is purely a Buffyverse one, written well before the comics and so fitting canon up to Chosen, which looks at a possible future for Xander.

Half a Sky of Stars - just over 2,000 words long, rated FR13.

And a favourite pure Tolkien world one, that is not part of the Returnverse and seems to not get noticed much - this looks at the sons of Elrond in the fourth age - it was a really difficult one to write - but it wouldn't let me stop until it was done -

A Powerful Absence - just over 7,000 words long, rated 'teen'

I like Half a Sky a lot. The acceptance and peace that he's reached is wonderful, and although I also enjoy ones where he goes on fighting the good fight I've always felt that he really, really deserved to be at peace not only with the world but with himself.

Thank you. I'm really pleased that people like it, and think it works, even after all this time (it was actually written almost 8 years ago).

I remember when I wrote it that I decided that he would still fight the good fight, but against slightly different evils, and in his own way, this time.

I imagine that you probably have since it's quite well known, but just on the off chance; have you read Lilac City by nwhepcat (http://draclinks.livejournal.com/115089.html)? If not, very highly recommended.

Yes - but a long time ago. I must go back to it.
