Fandom Snowflake Challenge, Day 8 – Love Meme

In your own space, create a love meme for yourself. Let people tell you how amazing and awesome and loveable you really are. Leave a comment in this [the assignment] post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. Surf the comments and find people to give love to.

Like a number of people, I thought at first that this called for me telling others how awesome I think I am. And I could do that, but it’s a relief to discover I’m just supposed to leave this up here — begging for candy — and wait to see what I receive.

I will go so far as to follow spikedluv’s lead in listing out a few prompts that can be followed, which also are things I’d like to know:

• How did you learn about me/how did we meet?
• Do you have a favorite fic by me? If so, what and why?
• Have I given constructive feedback to anything you have done? (Because if I haven’t, I should have.)
• Just say something nice but true (yes, you may have to scrounge around for something), because I’m prickly and arrogant and pretty much focused on my own stuff, but I need love just like everybody else.

And there we are.

I've read your full body of work and trying to figure out which is my favorite would take much longer than I have at present as it would involve rereading almost all of them.

But I can tell you what I find awesome about you as a writer. To echo sparrow2000 it is your craft. Your building of a scene is truly evocative and you're wonderful at fight scenes but what I absolutely love is something I don't find enough in fandom, amazingly crafted plots. It's one of the same things I adore about nwhepcat. Not only is the writing well done but the stories are riveting as well.

Outside of fandom, I am intensely grateful for your service to our country. I'm honored to know you.

My biggest problem with a fight scene is not over-indulging myself, I love them so much. Keeping it appropriate to the narrative, not letting it dominate or overshadow the rest of the story. Fight scenes are fun.

Plotting is just my effort to tell the kind of story I enjoy reading.

And serving in the Army … I’m only sorry I didn’t get to do more of it.
