Fanfic meme

I saw this on the journal of the lovely [livejournal.com profile] lethe_loyd who offers me the most interesting memes to do. I still dont quite understand how it actually works, but I've simply copy&pasted it below; perhaps others are smarter than I am. *g*

the old.
as a fanfiction writer, have you ever wondered what your 'winning' fic or your most well-loved fanfic is? this meme is for fanficcers who want to know which of their works are others' favorites as well as for readers who want to show more appreciation to the fanficcers.

the new.
it's a new year, and if you're anything like me, you've written more and more fic since the last time this meme was around. so we're gonna do it all over again, and see if your best fic according to others has changed any. this is also a chance for the new writers to see if they've got any favorites among fandom, as well. :)))

rules.
• List the fandoms you write for.
Well, let me see: Tolkien, Star Trek (TOS, TNG, DS9 and Voy), B5, Stargate: Atlantis, Andromeda, Queer As Folk US, Kindred: The Embraced (x-ed over with several other vampire shows, including Angel, Buffy, Poltergeist, etc), Brother Cadfael - have I forgotten anything? If I count the x-overs individually, I come to about a dozen fandoms.

• people will tell you what is their favorite fic/s by you (links appreciated); they can also leave other positive messages.

• since this is an appreciation meme, please do not start wank. (and by please, I mean I'll delete that sh*t pronto. - original quote, so don't shoot me for it, okay?)

So that's it. Feel free to comment.

I love Prisoner of Dol Guldur (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2250016/1/Prisoner_of_Dol_Guldur)
Well, I say love, it made me cry. I found it heartrending within the first paragraphs and experienced a kind of horror that any-one had experienced that. I know Tolkien says many Elves were thralls in Angband, but I don't read anything that has gone into the feelings of a long-term prisoner in such depth. I bawled, most stories don't have that affect on me immediately, they need a run up. :(

I know you are prolific and I am sure you've written more that I read before I joined any forums or archives, but probably did not note them then.

It's probably no suprise that I'm especially fond of your House of Oropher stories. I loved Astonishment in Mirkwood and am amazed, looking at the dates on ff.net now, to realise how many years it's been... I was also moved by your stories about Valinor, like Elvenhome and Awakening.

My goodness, you've written a lot :)

Oh, that's easy. Although I adore Halabor, my favourite fic by you is definitely Out of Legends :) Space vampires, ahoy!

A bit behind on commenting, but just had to say that my favourite has to be The Prisoner of Dol Guldur. Think I first read it here: http://www.tolkienfanfiction.com/Story_Read_Head.php?STid=604

It's heartbreaking - don't know how many times I've read it and it still makes me cry.

The first title I remembered was Face of the Enemy (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1589452/1/Face_of_the_Enemy). But The Dying Stone, (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1001386/1/The_Dying_Stone) and Reflections of Past and Future (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1155282/1/Reflections_of_Past_and_Future) are also among my favourites, and of course I will always have a weak spot for my birthday fic, Felagund and the Noegyth Nibin (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1374451/1/Felagund_and_the_Noegyth_Nibin).
