Rec-Go-Round Meme

[przed]

From faramir_boromir's LJ, because lord knows I need some good fic right about now.


Rec-Go-Round: Rec me one story you've written that you're proud of, any genre, here on my LJ.

Then go forth and ask the same in yours.

Or two or three, if you really want to and can't decide, but if you go for that, then rec in different fandoms. But try not to do any of that self-effacing, "Oh, I'm an attention whore so it might not be," or, "But I'm not very good" or whatever. I just want to read what you're most proud of - I'm not going to reassure you that you're fabulous.


Me again. I won't reassure, because of course you're all fabulous. *g*

In Lord of the Rings, I'd say "The Naming of Qualities." (http://faramir-boromir.livejournal.com/1977.html) I've written longer series, and more twisty plots, but this one is my baby, my favorite. It's angsty to the max, Faramir brooding half the time, but for a logical reason. And I think of it as special because it was also the first fiction I had written in nearly 20 years after giving that up.

I've only just begun with Queer as Folk, but of what I've written thus far, I'd say "10,000 Fucks." (http://faramir-boromir.livejournal.com/125499.html) Pre-series Brian spoke to me, and I think he did so in an authentic, non-abused, non-romanticized, non-corrupted way.

Well, you know I love 10,000 Fucks, but I'd missed The Naming of Qualities, and that was definitely a loss. It is utterly lovely. You shortchange neither Eowyn nor Boromir and show the importance of both of them in Faramir's life. Of course, it doesn't hurt that I'm an angst addict and rather fond of death stories. Which probably goes a ways to explaining why I love Boromir so.

I don't think we were friends back when I wrote "Naming" so it's unlikely you'd have found it unless you went through my memories. I'm happy that you like it so, for it is my complete favorite of all the LotR fic I've ever written. Faramir's balanced grief, for both his lost loves, makes it break my heart every time I reread it.
