Day 1 of the Snowflake Challenge

[kalakirya]

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.

Yes, Run Program: DUM-E gave me a lot of trouble (five. re. recordings. five.), but it also taught me a lot and I had a lot of fun doing it and it single-handedly made Dummy my hands-down favorite character in the MCU and it's a type of adaptation I don't often do - it wasn't only voices and pacing and music and affect and sound effects, but how to read the coding and what kind of dividers to use and whether I should cut out that giant wall of coding (after having recorded and edited that section five times, the answer was yes XD) and oh god slogging through my own Dummy feels, but in the end I think it turned out really, really well, and I'm quite proud of it :)
and I'm really, really proud of how it turned out.

I'm also pretty happy with my pod_aware recs, which I ended up having to split into three posts for length - character-centric, Pornily Wonderful Podfics, and Collabs and Other Shiny Things. I'm pleased with how they turned out not because I was able to rec a lot of things, though there is that, but because I put a lot of effort into writing the recs, and though they came across a little more flip than I really meant, I think my enthusiasm for them did come across, and I'm happy with that :D

To Sail Against the Tide is a Lord of the Rings podfic by grey_bard, and another one that I recorded several times (three?). I don't think I'll do any more LotR podfic, and it's not a fandom I'm at all active in, because it's one that's close to my heart and therefore kinda toxic for me to spend too much time in (history of mental health issues ahoy!), and for that reason I actually can't relisten to this podfic much, but... knowing that I made it, and that I did a good job on it, settles me somehow. It helps that the fic is very much in the mould of the original work, I think - lovely, but rather melancholy, with a focus on minor characters that I love.

I do have to mention the not!fics in here somewhere - the avengers ones were maybe more fun, but the quality's a little more all over the place than the teen wolf ones, but they're unique and I'm quite proud of them :)
