The Self-Pimp Meme
Jul. 4th, 2010 08:34 amFrom a lot of people right now:
Post a rec list singling out the best of your own fics. Tell people why you are especially proud of those particular fics, and of course provide links to them. Yes, that's right, this step involves self-promotion. How else are people supposed to find your fics? List as many or as few as you feel appropriate to represent your body of writing.
Also include a paragraph about the types of fics you most enjoy reading or are most interested in reading in the immediate future -- favorite tropes, pairings, fandoms, whatever. If you're particularly lazy, link to that Dear Writer post you did for whatever holiday exchange comes to mind.
Reply to other rec posts (like for example the one you are reading now) by reccing a fic of your own that might fit the original poster's tastes, or that you'd just really like them to read, because maybe they don't know they'd like it.
What I'm most interested in reading right now: I'm a sucker for minor characters who should have had screentime together but didn't. (By "should have" I mean "it makes sense", not "it was necessary to the story.") I'm also really on the lookout for ensemble Pegasus fics, or anything that focuses on more than just the relationship between Cain and Gina. (I don't remotely mind the relationship being in there or even a focus, but I'm looking for more ensemble.) OCs, minor characters, etc.
( my fics )
Looking forward to seeing what everyone else picks! :)
