Five Picks Fanfic Meme - Sherlock Holmes Edition

[monkeybard]

methylviolet10b posted this meme, and I thought, 'What the hell?' Here is my Holmesian response. I might do my other two main fandoms later. We shall see. (BTW, all these fics are also available all shiny and pretty over on my website here. The only catch is, you can't comment there should you desire to do so.) Now, on to the memeage!

The story of mine I'd most like others to read:
Story: However Improbable
Summary: Sherlock and John work a case in underground Edinburgh where John meets one of the inhabitants.
Reason: This ghost is real. I've felt his presence and he's not a nice person. So, when the prompt called for genuinely scary, this is where I went.

The story of mine that was easiest to write:
Story: Foxhole
Summary: Sci-fi Crack!Fic starring Lestrade.
Reason: This wrote itself. Seriously. So much so that I was scribbling it by hand on a notepad by my bed in the middle of the night. This almost made the first category above because it didn't get a lot of love during July's Watson's Woes Prompt Challenge (and it didn't help that it went up post LJ-crash), and I really like it, so I want others to like it, too.

The story of mine that was most difficult to write:
Story: Enough
Summary: A PWP Victoran closet smut story written as a follow-up to methylviolet10b's Doors.
Reason: This wasn't hard to write because it's m/m smut. It was hard to write because of the Victorian voice of Watson. Not my forte, but I think I did pretty well. I leave it to you to judge.

The story of mine that's received the most surprising reaction:
Story: A Misty London Sunday
Summary: Sherlock discovers MST3K. John discovers Sherlock.
Reason: Write one MiSTy fic and the the MiSTies come out of the woodwork. I'm thrilled that this happened! Astonished, but thrilled!

The story of mine of which I'm most proud:
Story: Storm Warning and it's follow-ups (Kindness, Surprises, and Debts)
Summary: A blizzard hits London and John has to get home through it.
Reason: This fic is a different style than I usually write, and I'm really pleased with the way it turned out. Also, it leads into three fics that I hadn't anticipated but which involve magical realism, which I love, and I think those turned out really well, too.

*does happydance* Hurrah! I'm so thrilled you did this meme! And I'm sorry I didn't comment earlier, but you know why. Fabulous choices, all of these!

It was fun to think back over my Holmesian fics and see which leapt out at me for each category. Really, "Foxhole" damned near made the first category. I deserves love, poor baby. :( And "Sextus interr--" could have taken its place for easiest to write. But I stand by my selections. :)

*It* deserves love, that should say. (Wish I could figure out why the hell I can't edit comments. ::grr::)
