Surely Nobody Will.
Apr. 21st, 2007 05:15 pm(EDIT: There's a long thread in the comments, which may stretch the screen if you click on the LJ-cuts at some resolutions. If this makes it difficult to read the fanfiction (assuming you want to read it), this link should fix the problem.)

Post a list of your top five favourite fics you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same.
Oh, dear, looking at my old fanfiction reminds me of how dreadful some of it was. Still, at least that probably means I've improved since then.
(EDIT: If I were being completely honest, these would probably all be Top Gear fics - with the possible exception of the House/Scrubs crossover - but it seems silly to stick to just one fandom, really, especially when almost all my fics for it are locked.)
Just Like House Without the Limp, House/Scrubs crossover, JD/Cox references.
I don't know whether I can technically use this, as
gayjunglefever had a very large part in it; she wrote several scenes, did most of the medical research and suffered with Wilson-esque patience my randomly texting her at ridiculously early hours to say 'HANG ON, WHAT IF THE RESOLUTION TURNS OUT TO BE THIS? WOULD THAT WORK?' But I am still terribly pleased with it. It's almost the only thing I've ever worked on that has something even vaguely approaching a plot. Also, Dr. Cox and House mock each other!
again, Silent Hill 2, no pairings, spoilers for the 'Leave' ending.
There's a certain pride to be found, I think, in taking something reasonably happy (if, er, anything in Silent Hill 2 can ever be considered 'happy') and then twisting it horribly. I managed to completely ruin my favourite ending for myself, but I still like this fic even after two years. When I write angst, I tend to get a little overblown and melodramatic. With this, though, I think I managed to strike a reasonably quiet note. Oh, talking about my own fanfiction is embarrassing.
My Explanation, Scrubs, JD/Cox.
This fic is important to me because I think it marks a genuine landmark in my writing: my fanfiction since this has been, I like to think, consistently 'fairly good' or better. Also, I'm pleased with the tone here; I think it's quite Scrubs-ish.
And Make It Double, a Top Gear/Pokémon crossover, no pairings.
Most of what I write is slash, and I am always very happy when I manage a proper gen fic. Also, I firmly believe that Top Gear and Pokémon are the most wonderfully on-crack combination in the world. Team Rocket and the Top Gear trio are basically the same, right? Er, Jeremy is male and Richard isn't a cat and I don't think I've heard anything about May having crossdressing tendencies, but apart from that.
Because the only place it's been posted up to here is friendslocked, I'll post it up here. About 5,000 words; rated PG.
dracothelizard helped me enormously with several scenes. The world of Pokémon does not belong to me, and the Top Gear team have never, to my knowledge, been there.
( And Make It Double )
I Have Killed Before, AU, Top Gear, Jeremy/Richard.
Generally, the fics that stay in my heart are the ones that are completely on crack, as there's something terribly fun about taking an utterly ridiculous idea and trying to write it with a reasonably straight face, and, zombie editors aside, I don't think I've ever written anything much more cracky than 'Jeremy Clarkson is the world's worst assassin'. Well, actually, there was the genderswap. And the bodyswap (EDIT: ...which, er, I think I might actually like more than this. WOW, I AM BAD AT THIS MEME). And the 'Jeremy Clarkson has sex with a car because he hates it'. But 'Jeremy Clarkson is the world's worst assassin' certainly comes close, and I had a frankly terrifying amount of fun writing it.
Again, it's friendslocked, so I'll post it here. PG-13, 2,200ish words. Jeremy Clarkson is not actually an assassin. Really.
(EDIT: I've removed this fic from this entry, because I was getting uncomfortable with having it lying around, but here's a link to the locked version on TGS. I'll leave the Pokémon crossover up, though.)
EDIT: I don't usually tag, but I'm going to tag
draegonhawke for this, because I'm sure she'd love to do it.
Also, a warning/reminder: Doctor Who starts at thirty-five past six tonight - in five minutes, that is - instead of at seven. I should have mentioned this earlier, and I'm sorry if anyone misses the start.
Also also, I have no idea what the subject line for this post is. I think I started typing something and forgot about it half-way through.
