Challenge #11

In your own space, create a fanwork. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


"I don't have time or space to write this BUT IF I DID here's what the fic would be" posts are totally fanworks, in my experience. So here goes.

Legit, no exaggeration, wingfic is a trope I'll always love. I've long had a soft spot for it - blame too many comic books and Greek myths at a young age - and a wingfic was the first thing I wrote in any fandom anywhere I both wrote a story worth reading and made something close to what was in my head. I'm still proud of it.

That the fic was for a completely mundane fandom where the most extraordinary thing about the canon were the acceptable breaks from reality in order to maintain a sense of drama made it all the more fun for me. Right now, my main writing fandom is one where wingfic has at least some minor plausibility.

I don't have time to write the Buffy wingfic I'd like to go read. But if I did, I'd blame this picture. And this one. And a lot of coffee. And andtheyfightcrime for encouraging me, indulging me, and coming up with at least half the good ideas.

Yes, it'd be Spike with wings. )
