turpsDay 1
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.
I wasn't sure what to include at first, creatively writing is what I do the most of, but in the end I decided on three different types of creative things.

mikeyway_daily. I'm so proud of the comm we created. In all the time we've been running it there's been no real wank, instead it's a place where everyone can come along and know they're amongst people who understand when they comment about wanting to lick Mikey's arms or bite his neck or just in general say how awesome he is.
It was a community that started really casually, from a comment conversation I was having withsperrywink where we were talking about daily picture comms and she said Mikey should have one, and next thing I knew MWD was a reality. Years later and we're still going strong ♥
The bandom kissing meme -- The response to this was amazing, and I'm still boggled that it ended up with over 100 fills -- very awesome fills, too. While my own involvement was limited to a few fills and keeping a masterlist of others, I'm including it here because it's an example of how great fandom can be. People asking for and getting fills, people leaving nice comments to each one, and people just generally being all kinds of wonderful.
Tints verse. I wasn't sure what story to pick because I have a few I'm very proud of, but in the end this seems to be the best choice. I'm still amazed that this series gets the comments that it does, and that people are so honest and forthcoming when they say how it resonates with them. It's not something I ever expected, and while I have technically better written stories, these will always be one of the ones that mean the most to me.

Yeah, when the pictures get above a certain size they get sliced off on one side. It happens when I post bigger pictures after a cut, too.
It's very annoying.

Except, don't you have to join first so I can change your status?

Date: 2012-01-28 05:06 pm (UTC)I really don't know why the kissing meme took off like it did. All I can think was by luck I hit a time when people were in the mood for such a thing.
There were some awesome stories posted :)
