I don't know your fic at all, so how about #1? :)

1. of the fic you’ve written, which are you most proud of?

This is a hard question, because I'm proud of all of my fic and especially proud of several, but for vastly different reasons.

I'm proud of Strange Aeons, because it's the fic that proved to myself that I could write. I am also very fond of what I did with names in that story: how AU!Doom think of himself as Victor, but the PoV voice switches to Doom in the last paragraph, when we're back in not!AU!Doom's head, the use of Cassandra vs Cassie, etc. I like that I was able to pull in lots of references and historical details and how everything came together.

I'm proud of The Hawk and the Bat for taking the crack concept of "Steph Brown and Kate Bishop fight a villain powered by fairytales" and making in work.

I'm proud of Punica Fides, because I have never been called a wizard before and that I made each AU believable.

I'm proud of Retrograde, because I pulled off reverse chronology and I really like the last line ("At the end of the world, Valeria runs.").

I'm proud of Radiance, for being good despite being written in under 24 hours in Kindle notes.

I'm proud of CSI: Harrenhal, for proving to me that I could take up again a WIP and finish it.

I could do that for all my fic, but I'll stop here. I kind of can't pick which one I'm most proud of, so I guess I'll say that I'm proud of being able to take crack-y/unlikely concepts (Doctor Doom's adventures in babysitting, Lantern Corps as mind-controlling bad guys, building a coherent narrative out the shifting description of the Afterworld in Egyptian mythology, Arya Stark and Tywin Lannister, THEY FIGHT CRIME, maths saves the day) and making them work.

Very cool! I know what you mean; I could point out individual aspects I'm proud of on a lot of fics, too. I managed to restrict myself to two. :)

Also, OMG, CSI: Harrenhal. I must investigate this.

I really should have tried to restrict myself more, shouldn't I have?

(Thanks for the kudos, I'm glad you liked it.)
