Snowflake, Day 9
Day 9
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. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
This is probably as hard for me as Day 7, but, here goes:
The World Again, a Step to the Left ( Sherlock BBC) 38,673 words.
Summary: Moriarty was back and destroying everything and everyone who got between him and a certain artefact, one that John was desperately trying to get to Sherlock. When Moriarty found him John thought it might be the end, that he was going to die. When Moriarty shot him he was sure of it. But then John woke up in a world that wasn't his own, where Moriarty was dead but everyone else was alive and he wasn't sure how he got there or how to get back, or even if he wanted to.
This is one of the most complicated things I've ever written. The plot is complex (via the equivalent of a magic MacGuffin John is sent to a world where Sherlock never faked his death at the end of S2, therefore enabling me to rewrite a few canon plot points I disliked) and it's probably the only time I ever switched POVs within a story (the chapters switch between Sherlock and John's). It's also LONG. Despite preferring to read long fics I almost never wrote them (previous to this having only completed two 20k+ fics). It's gen though, so never got much traction within the Sherlock fandom.
The Road Ahead Beckoning Darkness (The Losers magic/supernatural!AU) 6,814 words.
Summary: The combination of a Were, a witch and a warlock sounded like the beginning of a joke, not the solution to helping Jensen, especially when there was a blood demon thrown in for good measure.
This is one of the first times I wrote an AU that was basically completely divorced from canon. While the characters (hopefully) ring true to who they are, someone without any knowledge of The Losers could read and completely follow everything that happened with only missing a few canon nods/jokes. I had so many notes about how the universe worked and the methods for the various terms used by who and why... I occasionally consider returning to this verse and writing more, but I really don't have the inclination/ability to delve into a huge follow-the-movie-but-in-the-AU!verse type story (and it would be HUGE) but maybe a shortish one-shot of something else?
The Fadings (Merlin) 7,596 words.
Summary: The phenomenon known as The Fadings has always baffled scholars. What caused the world's colours to fade randomly? And why did they sometimes come back, only to fade again?
This is one of the only times (if not the only?) I used mixed media within a fic. Throughout the various parts there are fake wiki articles, museum collection write ups, newspaper articles, etc. It's also another fic that I created extensive notes for while writing.
Troublesome Transitions to What Might Be (Behind You, a one panel webcomic) 1443 words.
Summary: She began to feel foolish for ever even considering that they would show up.
I wrote this for Yuletide 2016 and despite being up for over a year it still has less than 50 hits so this definitely falls under the 'fanwork I feel no one ever saw' category. The comic is a cute one panel with a young teenage girl standing in an alley looking sad with a ghostly young woman looking down on her from above and the request had been for a trope inversion so instead of being malevolent or horror story, it's one of two outsiders becoming friends.

Also, I gave up on Sherlock fic because it all read the same and was all slashy. 38k of AU Gen sounds like my ideal fic <3
