Snowflake Challenge: Day Three

[balsamandash]

Day 03: 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. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

The theme to this list is "things I'd like to do more of", whether that's media forms or stories I want to continue.

1. I have made exactly two vids in my life. One is short and ridiculous and makes sense to exactly two other people. The other is a New Who S3 Simm!Master vid to You're Gonna Go Far, Kid. Being A) the only vid I've ever made and B) more than five years old, I am surprised how proud I still am of it, even if I hope I will improve a lot if I ever get to making more.

2. I love filk with all my heart. I love writing filk with all my heart. Three that I think are pretty okay, none single-fandom-specific but all fannish -- one is about fandom experience and two were fills for trope bingo, so they center around common fandom cliches: Evil Book (to Seanan McGuire's Evil Laugh, about, well, evil books, and the evil, wonderful people who recommend them); And Now There's Baby (to Call Me Maybe, a song exploration of the "suddenly acquired a baby" trope); Why Did We All Have To Go? (to Somebody I Used to Know, a road trip bitchfest story in song format).

3. there'll be space for you always in my harmony, Welcome to Night Vale, background Cecil/Carlos, under 1k, G
Summary: Between Cecil's meaningless (unless you ask him) lyrics, the strange assortment of instruments, and the refusal to pick a genre, Night Vale shouldn't work. It does. Carlos reflects before a show. [Or, Welcome to Night Vale, the band AU.]
I have an entire "Strex becomes new management and everyone hates it" plot in my head for how this continues. I just really need to write it down at some point. Also, I'm just ridiculously proud of it? I don't know why.

4. kid, one day you'll be famous, MCU/Iron Man, Tony & Rhodey (could be gen or shippy at this point, goes either way), ~2.5k, PG13
Summary: When James Rhodes is eighteen, he goes to MIT and meets a pain in the ass kid who sounds like a rock god in training. Rhodey has a guitar, Tony has a voice to be reckoned with, and maybe this wasn't the plan, but it's not bad.
Yes more band AU. >> I never intended this to stop here and I still don't. I have many more band shenanigans in mind, eventually including Pepper and Happy and possibly other people as well, but once again, I need to write it.

5. i know we can make it (if we take it slow), MCU, Bucky-centric, just over 2k, G
Summary: Sam teaches Bucky about the spoon theory. Somehow, it actually helps.
The sequel to this is Sam-POV and involves him teaching most of the Avengers self-care -- or at least to walk out of a room when it gets too stressful to stay in it -- while they remind him to listen to his own lessons more often. I have most of it in my head. Yet again, the problem comes from writing it down.


And I will answer comments and generally exist more tonight; I am off to steal 5-ish hours sleep.

Night Vale works entirely well as a band as described. Including how somehow everyone picks up and puts down instruments and it all works anyway.

I'm glad you think so! It was fun to figure out how the lovely weirdness of Night Vale might work as a band.

I've played in a band somewhat like that - brass, percussion, guitars, human theremin, kazoo, trombone, and all the rest. It was a giant blast and I still wish I can play with them again soon.
