spacemutineerI'm occasionally over on Tumblr, and @educatedinyellow came up with a really fun meme there for back fic catalogs and resurfacing old favorites. I thought I'd bring what I came up with over there here too. To be honest, I never know if I'm doing Tumblr right and I greatly suspect I'm not (tagging seems to work not at all for me), but I loved this idea and I hope it's okay that I'm bringing it here.
Via @educatedinyellow:
When it comes to your own fics, which one do you think is…
The funniest:
Four Cups of Tea (AO3) - Funny is a relative measure, but I got a few jokes in there.
The most romantic:
Adagio for Violin (AO3) or if you’re into Elementary, Interludes in Winter (AO3)
The most unusual:
Nepal, 1891 (AO3) - Originally an experiment for Twitter with a relatively exotic concept to boot.
The scariest:
The Weapon of Choice (AO3) - Short but pure horror, beware.
The sexiest:
His Non-Native Tongue (AO3) - I usually go for subtlety. Not especially here.
The saddest:
Night on the Train (AO3) - A character study of Holmes and a personal favorite.
The prettiest:
Scars (AO3) - There is a delicacy to this one I love.
The most exciting:
Night and Water (AO3) - The Steamship Friesland, always fun and thrilling.
The happiest:
Later. After. (AO3) - Rare fluffiness from me.
The most realistic:
The Adventure of the Bridegroom's Photograph (AO3) - My one and only true casefic, and based on a real-life mystery that ACD also wrote about. I put a lot of research into this one.
The most fantastical:
The One Fixed Point (AO3) - ACD-style science fiction.
The most complex:
The Acting Physician (only on AO3) - A meticulous retelling and fix-it for The Dying Detective from Holmes' perspective
The simplest:
Rest (AO3) - Short and sweet.
The closest to what you wanted it to be:
60 Words for 60 Cases (only on AO3) - My first run of 60 for 60, and I loved doing it. What a way to explore the canon.
