Challenge #7: Promote/Rec/Sing the Praises of Yourself!
In RL, I may no longer be an active stage manager for the most part, but dangnabbit, I can still manage a stage excellently when called upon to do so.
I'm a very quick learner, and good at keeping buckets of info in my head at all times. This is part of what makes me a pretty good stage manager, and tends to be useful at work in general. It also comes in handy for trivia, as long as the trivia is related to things I actually find interesting and not, like, sports or popular music.
Switching over to fandom: well, I do genuinely like my own fics and vids? I mean, I very much write for myself at this point, so as long as I continue entertaining myself, it's just bonus awesomeness when other people enjoy it, too.
Reccing myself awkwardly:
Boden's Mate (X-Men/Inception, primarily Erik/Charles) is probably what I'm best known for, and I'm still really proud of it. Look, plot! I like plot.
she's the one that they call old whatsername (Star Trek Reboot, girl!Kirk/Spock) is my personal favorite thing I've ever written. And while I have next to nothing in common with Kirk in any incarnation, if you want to know how my brain works and what my internal narrator sounds like, that's the fic to read. (Or, um, any scenes narrated by Alex in the Boden's Mate 'verse, for that matter.)
In terms of vidding, The Hymn of Acxiom (MCU, Bucky) is my personal favorite vid. The lyrics are just so eerie and well-suited to the Winter Soldier.
I also think Die Young (Buffy, ensemble) is one of my better vids. Because, like -- that's it. That's the show.
And lastly, what the hell, I spent pretty much all of 2019 working on The Conspirator's Gift (X-Men, Charles/Erik), and if I can't rec my own obscure medieval mystery AU, who else will?
