Snowflake_Challenge #7 - Promote/Rec/Sing the Praises of Yourself

[zilentdreamer]

Promote/Rec/Sing the Praises* of Yourself! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Ugh, another difficult one. First asking for things and now saying positive things about myself....*sighs*.

So I figuring I would just promote some of my favorite stories. The ones that I'm truly proud of even if they aren't the best written. 

Title: Gift of the Goddess
Fandom: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Rating: Gen
Pairings: None

- This story means a lot to me for a couple different reasons. The most important being it was the first thing I wrote after my mother passed away. I was still struggling to comprehend her loss and everything felt very numb and remote. I don't remember if I was playing Skyward Sword at the time or if the idea for this story had been lurking in the back of my mind for a while. All I remember was I sat down one day and wanted to write what the first meeting between Link and his Loftwing might have been like, and touch on the idea of knowing deep down that you had someone who was going to stand beside you no matter what.  It was rough and I had to step back from this story a few times, but I got it done eventually. 

Title: Where the Legend Ends
Fandom: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Rating: Teen
Pairings: None
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/18467194

- I'm particularly proud of this story since it was a long time coming. I think I first starting writing it almost seven years ago, maybe longer. Last year I saw the Small Fandom Big Bang promotion and decided that I was tired of sitting on it and figured it was about time I finally finished what I'd started. Its a little rough in some places since I wasn't able to find anyone to beta it, but I'm proud of it. In it I asked alot of the questions I've always had about the games, what Link thought of being drafted by fate, and the hints that in every life Link has to fight evil in some form or another. Also what was he going to do now that his foe was vanquished? 

Title: what a good man deserves
Fandom: Dragon Age: Inquisition
Rating: Teen
Pairings: Hawke/Cullen
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/18794740

- I'm proud of this fic since it took me way out of my comfort zone. It was my first time writing this pairing and I'd only recently started reading works with Hawke/Cullen so I was going off the cuff for most of it. But I was pretty happy with the end result and that's what matters in the end.

And enough of that I think. I'm starting to get twitchy doing this.

Thanks for sharing these. The snowflake challenge makes me feel warm and fuzzy about fandom and it's because of stuff like this -- finding out about the background and personal meaning of why fanworks get made.
