Fandom Snowflake: Day 11 & Day 7

Day 11: Stretch yourself a little and try something new. Go play in a new fandom or with a new pairing or trope. Try creating a different kind of fanwork. Or check out some types of fanworks that are new to you.

I meant to post this yesterday, and I had been trying some new techniques with icons. (Nothing that special, but a few odd different things). So I say that still counts, even if I'm late with the post!


Day 7: In your own space, create a fanwork. A drabble, a ficlet, a podfic, or an icon, art or meta or a rec list. A picspam. Something.

I can make stuff! Yes. *nods* So, I am off to post an icon set for House of Eliott (not the icons in question, and, as ever with image posts, only on LJ), which I actually made in August and September, and a fic I finally finished editing this morning. The icons are quite nice (hopefully), but the fic is of no interest to anyone (really!), so I might as well make it count for something by including it here for snowflake_challenge.

23x House of Eliott Icons

Made back in August or September, but I kept forgetting to post them. Anyway, a set for the BBC 1990s costume drama The House of Eliott, also posted for Fandom Snowflake Day 7 (create a fanwork).

Fic: Outcomes of War

I am only linking this here because a) snowflake_challenge, because maybe icons you made ages ago is cheating a bit and b) this is what I did with the future fic square for trope_bingo. Hence I'm skipping it this time. If I'm going to write unnecessarily long and gloomy fic, at least I can do it for hc_bingo where you'd expect this sort of thing.

Outcomes of War (5430 words) by lost_spook
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Enemy at the Door (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Major Character Death
Relationships: Philip Martel & Dieter Richter, Ernst Freidel & Dieter Richter
Characters: Dieter Richter, Ernst Freidel, Philip Martel, Olive Martel
Additional Tags: War, World War II, Suicide, Execution, Starvation, Post-Series, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, 5 Times
Summary: "Whatever may be the abuse of man, that is the use of nature - first survive.” Three things that may have happened to Major Richter and two that definitely didn’t.

(This is what happens when people go and leave a TV show unfinished and I start looking at the history books for answers. I wasn't going to finish this, being far too late for the bingo, but it nagged at me. It's surprisingly unspoilery, but I can't imagine it'd have any appeal to anyone who hasn't seen the series. And limited appeal even then.)

I fear my next fic may only be better by virtue of being shorter, but after that I solemnly vow to try and write things that people might actually want to read. (Or, in short, I have a lot of 500 Prompts left... ;-D)
