alliecat8Okay, y'all, I've got a challenge for you. I just posted this at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
thequillstation, but I wanted to make sure everyone on my flist has a chance to participate, so I'm posting here in my journal too. I want you to rec me your Lost fics! There are so many new (and new-ish) writers in the Lost fandom, it's overwhelming and WONDERFUL. You guys are going full steam ahead and that's great. On the other hand, some writers who've been in the fandom for a while feel as if they're race cars who've run out of gas. They're feeling a shortage of the "fuel" they need -- new ideas. I've noticed, though, that if I go through people's LJ memories and tags -- others and mine -- and read the old fics, it inspires the muse. I took a "refresher course" in fic-writing by re-reading all of my favorite fics, and now I feel ready to write and write and write again.
It was sad, though to think that those classic fics might be languishing in people's memories now, and some of the newer writers might not know about them. So I want to resurect them, as well as to make all of us aware of the newer fics you're proudest of.
So, the challenge here (and I hope it's an easy one!) is for you to rec your OWN fics. Not other people's, but the ones that you feel were most inspired and the ones you love the most. We all have them, the ones that just flowed through us and out our fingers and suddenly there was a beautiful fic that you didn't know you had in you. There's no room for modesty in this challenge, so don't be shy!!!
I want you to rec me (and link) *up to five* of your (own) favorite Lost fics in a reply to this post, and then next week I'll make a big rec post so that everyone who wants to can enjoy the bounty!
