Snowflake Challenge

Challenge #9

In your own space, celebrate a personal win from the past year: it can be a list of fanworks you're especially proud of, time you spent in the community, a quality or skill you cultivated in yourself, something you generally feel went well.


Well, I haven't yet murdered phone dodger the no-worker, does that count as a win? Possibly not since a big part of that is the fact that we're mostly in the office on different days.

Okay, a serious answer. I managed to finally finish the Fringe fic that had been an idea in progress for about 10 years, turning the season 3 finale on its head by imagining Walternate had succeeded and it was Redverse that survived. I'd posted the first part back in 2014 after having been working out the Henry Dunham!Verse for a couple of years before that, then let it lapse for ages. I eventually got inspired to go back to it last year - it had come up somehow in last year's Snowflake, then in Sunshine I'd suggested Amber as one of the prompts with Fringe having been the inspiration for that, even answered that prompt with something else in the Henry Dunham!verse, and finally finished it before Christmas.

Also making some progress on getting my excessive amount of Lost fics pre-2012 backed up to AO3 (I'd been intending to do that ever since that article that conveyed the impression that we wouldn't be able to access LJ following X date after Russia invaded Ukraine, and people were having trouble backing LJ up to DW. As it turned out, I did manage to do the backup and LJ remains available, but I still want to get it done.

Also finally getting some work done on WIPs and writing in new fandoms, watch this space.

You also haven't gone scorched earth on the phone dodger, so that's also a win!

OMG CONGRATS!!!!

Yeah, I think actually murdering the phone dodger would be a win, though morally wrong, of course.

After the stories you've told, I think not murdering the phone dodger is definitely a win and a testament to your self control lol

Congrats on finishing the fic! That is awesome! It's so exciting to get something down that has been in your head for a long time. :D

I've been reading your fics on AO3, but I'm embarrassed to say I've forgotten a lot of the source materiel. I'm overdue for a rewatch, so I'll better appreciate your stories.
