turpsThere's a WIP meme going around. Have a sentence from the story I have open right now.
"Oh my god, Ray," Frank hisses, appearing in the doorway looking hot and sweaty, a strand of blue hair sticking to his forehead. "Don't talk about my sex life with Mikey's brother."
Another meme I saw yesterday, sadly I've lost the actual rules, but they were along the lines of list five of your own stories that you love the most. Not the five best, but the ones that mean something to you. Because I am apparently shameless and also procrastinating like crazy at the moment ---
My five, in posted order.
When Day is Night Alone -- I still don't know where this story came from, it just did. One minute I was talking to Arsenic about how I wanted to write something for Mouse, the next I was knee deep in a story that just kept growing. Not so long back I was always saying how I didn't know if I was capable of writing something long and plotty, plus I worried about writing Panic in a believable way. I think this story shows I can do both.
Sound Tracking -- My Bob centric space AU. Oh how I love this story. I love space stories anyway, I grew on sci-fi and think space exploration is the greatest thing ever. This was my first real attempt at complex world building and I love how it turned out. At times I was tearing my hair out trying to get it right -- seriously, thinking about the planet rescue scene still makes a shiver go down my spine, but the results are worth it.
Tints of Rainbow Hue -- Out of everything I've written in bandom this is the verse that's the most vivid to me. It's such a visual story and in my mind I can see it clearly. I'm a little in love with every single person in this story.
Always Known -- While I really like trickyfish, I was always wary about writing it because there seemed to be a rule that Lance had to be snarky. Which seemed such a hard thing to write, I mean, disalogue is hard enough anyway with added snark. I re-read this recently, and I still like it a lot.
Boxes -- Oh man, this story. I wrote it way back when I first started writing popslash. It was done as a WIP, a part posted on my journal every day, and it was such an amazing time. I'd never do that again, not for a long story, but back then I had a blast. I think I'm a better writer now, but I'll always love this story. Especially as it introduced me to so many amazing friends, people who are still around now.
Now you. Tell me your most loved five.
