Monday and Memeage

[nightdog_barks]

More bright sun and a bit warmer than yesterday -- 47 degrees (8.3 degrees Celsius). It was in the 20s overnight, so I was glad I'd put the heavier India quilt on the bed.

Finished The Perfect Summer last night -- it was an excellent read.

Here's a bit of memery (*g*), lifted wholesale from leiascully: If you had to pick one fic of mine that is the one you identify with me, what would it be? I'm just curious; please don't feel required to answer, and if you'd prefer to say "HA, NIGHTDOG, UR FIC SUX ROX," go right ahead. Heh. All my stories are linked over there on the left sidebar. ETA forgot to say that answering anonymously is cool too (if you'd like).

Other than that ... hm, I got nuthin' right now.

Just one? Wow ... it would have to be The Annals because your skills with a perfectly in-character historical AU are so amazing in that series. But there are so many others I love -- A Button, A Feather, A Grain of Sand; Summer's Lease; I'll Tell Thee Everything I Can; Red is the New Black; Past Present Imperfect; and on and on -- for so many different reasons.

This is going to sound weird, but for the longest time I believed you were two different writers. One writer, wrote stories where Wilson was hurt and killed in many horrible ways, I avoided this writer. The other wrote wonderful stories like "The Emperor of Nebraska" or "Damascus", and even my all-time favorite story about what happened to Wilson's long-lost brother "44 candles".

Discovering all those stories were written by the same writer was a shock, and then I read the Annals and the other shorter Historical AUs. But for me, whenever I think of your fic, my first thought is always "Wilson baking bread", which may be my favorite slice-of-life fic ever.

Definitely "A Button, A Feather, A Grain of Sand". It was one of your first that I'd read, and I thought it was so clever.

That's such a hard question to answer, your fics are all so wonderful. But the first one that popped into my head was "A Button, A Feather, A Grain of Sand".

For me? Hm. If I had to name a story, probably either the Annals, because it was one of the first things of yours that I ever read and because, well, it's the Annals; or else Bad Company/Aftershocks because that's where our lives online truly converged and the iconic Martin entered the landscape of my brain. But I still have that incredible resonant spot in my heart for Damascus, so there's that.

But mostly when I think of your fic-writing I don't think of specific stories. What springs to mind are images -- of animals and birds and shadows, with House and Wilson walking among them.

That's largely the way the Corvid piece in this icon came about. I was thinking about the way you write.

Homo Ludens was the first thing of yours I read, and The Emperor of Nebraska might be your best for showing the comfortable distance between House and Wilson.

Late to the party and I don't even have something original to say: The Annals. It's just epic and probably the first one of yours I've read. But it's actually rather distorting to pick just one. I think you are a writer who is able to write very different themes and settings and do it well, and only the combination of multiple stories would describe the writing that I identify with you.
