Snowflaking - DAY ONE

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator. 

Hmmm, 

Silent, Greet The Dawn - I've been feeling very fond lately of the Nate/Ray, Ray/Batman, Generation Kill Fic I wrote for we-pimpin's boys of summer exchange a year or two ago. I guess because I didn't move it onto AO3 (basically because I couldn't be bothered to recode the way it's laid out) it never gets those out of the blue kudoses that tell you someone somewhere's still appreciating it. But I kind of feel it deserves it. *resolves to archive it properly* 

Speaking of things I wrote for we-pimpin, I'm also super proud of a little Brad/Ray ww1 drabble for the prompt, Old Photographs. The sense of them in that time really appeals to me. 

I think I need at least a year before I can look back and be pleased with the things I've created. Nothing from this year seems to be cutting it. 

Choosing a fanmix for my third: Don't Tell The Beloved was a massive expiation of some very belated Remus/Sirius feels. I loved making it and I love listening to it.

Yuletide and Yagkyas fic recs

26/12/13 23:28
amoama: (easy to love)
 Oh ho ho, but there's been a good haul this year! 
Christmas here has certainly been a bit chaotic what with a hospitalised grandfather, a stroppy uncle, a leaky roof, a brother getting married and almost-step-siblings turning up all over the place but I've at least managed to read all the lovely fic written for me. I'm still making my way through the excellent Generation Kill fic over on the YAGKYAS comm but I am taking note of everyone else's Yuletide recs with great interest! 

I am so happy to have received, not one but two GK stories this year! It totally makes up for last year when I only pinch hit so didn't have a story written all for me. Both stories were Eric Kocher-centred and all kinds of awesome. 

Squared Up  is an Eric Kocher/Doc Bryan story that is utterly glorious. It's full of anger and sensuality and an unwillingness to put up with bullshit. Sections of it sent shivers up my spine and made me want to cry with how beautifully their relationship was painted. There was also bonus Kocher & Colbert friends-chat which sealed the deal on this being the best thing ever. 

The Exiled Prince is a GK/Avengers crossover of awesome. Ray as Iron Man. Nate as Captain America. Brad as Thor. Seriously. :DD I love that the author kept to the GK characterisations despite putting them in the Avengers world, that made this really special as well as a really fun read. It's written from Kocher's perspective but with a side of Brad/Nate that is quite delicious. 

And for Yuletide!!!! My first time participating has been really fun and I got a fantastic Dance Academy story that really played into lots of things I love about the show, particularly the Kat/Abigail friendship that is the theme of the fic. 
Making The Name Fit is a brilliant story about Kat learning to do away with her self-sabotaging habits with the help of Abigail's unique brand of friendship and honesty. I heart this story so much!!

My Generation Kill Favourite Things: the 2012 edition

29/12/12 17:03
amoama: (kocher siu)
So I posted this at the GK comm's themed rec post the other day but I thought I'd post it here too and because, after all, it's about some of my favourite Generation Kill things this year. What's not to shout about?!

l_s_d_me's follow up to her Count to Three fic This Isn't Over - everything in this verse is love and I was thrilled to have more. Also the fanmix by deedlit50 just creeps under the 2012 barrier and is the perfect companion to the whole fic.

green_grrl's awesomely thorough Brad/Nate rec list. I'd mostly stopped reading Brad/Nate for a while and this was a lovely way to catch up!

nightanddaze wrote Brad/Ray Rockstar!AU The Comeback Kid (Ain't Got Shit On Me) which was completely gorgeous and portrayed the pairings dynamic so well!

surexit's Brad/Ray manifesto because it's impossible to read it without flailing ridiculously. I direct you to points 3 and 4 in particular. ;)

looleebelle wrote me girl!Ray/Brad post-apocalypse fic A Vision of the Start and the End for the Boys of Summer exchange on we_pimpin. The whole exchange was glorious fun but obviously, considering this was written for me and it was EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED and stunningly written, this is my favourite. The two Hunger Games AUs were also unbeliveably beautiful and achey. sephirothflame wrote Walt/Ray and schlicky wrote Brad/Ray.

The Podfic challenge Semper Hi-Fi. OMG this was amazing. I didn't partake because I moved house like three times this summer but it was all glorious and so awesome to have so many more GK fics to listen to. My favourites were Baghdad ain't shit read by luzula, Falling Apart to Half the Time read by fandomfan and (I don't think they were part of the same challenge) but inkjunket read a couple of dsudis's Every Marine a Wolfbrother series and they're fab too!

There were some great fanmixes that I loved this year. Pointblankdarcy made Fall a Brad/Nate mix based on Carol Ann Duffy's poem You. It's ridiculously perfect. etacanis also did some paintastic Brad/Nate mixes but it's her Ray/Walt mix Presence which is making me fall apart on repeat at the moment.

I haven't even read half of the YAGKYAS entries yet but so far I've loved Your Shadow Weighs A Ton which is Bryan/Fick and Corporal Person: or, How Nate learned to stop worrying... which is such a great Nate/Ray story!

On the excuse of the Psychic Wolves for Lupercalia - A Multi-Fandom Mini-Fest I made some icons!

Posted here at AO3 with the Fest Collection.

I would apologise but I can't help it if Every Marine a Wolfbrother owns my soul.

I'd Left Him Dreaming

29/1/12 09:47
amoama: (ray cry havoc)
Title: I'd Left Him Dreaming (*steals from Laura Marling* idk titles - just had it saved as doppelganger fic)
Author: [personal profile] amoama
Fandom (pairing/characters): Generation Kill, Brad/Ray/(celebrity appearance by Eric Northman)
Rating: R
Word Count: 2000
Summary: Ray's current boyfriend looks identical to his undead-ex. Apparently this could be conceived as problematic. Basically smutty Brad/Ray with Voyeur!Eric potentially along for the ride.
Disclaimer: Not mine, not true, not possible.
Author's Note: I think this was originally sparked by a prompt on a comm somewhere but it was so long ago I can't remember and didn't save it anywhere. :C It's been lying forgotten as a WIP for ages because I kept thinking there was way more to do but when I re-read it the other day it was more complete-feeling than I remembered. :D

Undertow

4/12/11 21:43
amoama: (kocher siu)
Title: Undertow
Author: [livejournal.com profile] amoama
Fandom (pairing/characters): Generation Kill, Doc Tim Bryan/Eric Kocher
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1900
Summary: Doc and Kocher are two of the most frustrated marines in IOF. They help each other deal.
Disclaimer: Not mine, not real, never happened.
Author's Note: I know this is a rare pairing in the extreme and it's probably more matchmaking/wishful-thinking rather than your average slashing but when you have Doc's "Well sir it’s just that you’re incompetent sir" BAMF-ness followed immediately by Kocher's "You fire an AK one more time, I'll fuck you up" BAMF-ness... I just think it had to happen sometime. Someone tell me they agree, lol!
