"Sometimes it's ok to pimp yourself out. Post a list of your top five fic-favorites you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then admonish your readership to do the same so you can find new stories to read and pimp."
I took the "isn't about the best" part to heart.
In chronological order:
1. The Hollowing (Firefly): This one was written for a challenge on a now defunct forum, and it was just so much fun. It was a Halloween challenge, intended mainly for BtVS fic but with the addendum that we could do it for Firefly if we really wanted. It contains, among other things, the phrase "elastic mushroom," the word "epanadiplosis," a wild space poodle, and a Jennifer Love Hewitt reference. Besides, I won second place and got a shiny banner for it! The banner even had a poodle on it.
2. Man of God (Firefly/HGttG): Why do I love this? It's a crossover with Firefly and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And a backstory for Book. Need I say more?
3. Flight Status (BSG): This was my second BSG fic. I was really unsure about it initially. I felt like it wasn't very good because it didn't do anything. I wasn't used to writing one-shots, and really wasn't used to writing one-shots with no plot. This was my first between-the-scenes fic, and to this day one of my favorites (obviously). Pilots are so angsty! I love them. I also feel like (and here's the real pimping my own fic part) I captured them, at this moment in time (pre-UB angst!). It was also shockingly easy to write.
4. Four People or Anthropomorphic Personifications Buffy Didn't Meet When She Died And One She Did (BtVS/Discworld/Sandman/DLM/BSG): I think the title says all that needs to be said about this fic. But what fun to write such insane crossovers! Although this one was not easy. It was written over a very long period of time. Maybe a year? I had a lot of trouble coming up with the fourth.
5. Counting Breaths (BSG): My entry for the remix ficathon. I just love it. I think it's really sad, and (I hope) really Kara. And it's indirectly about Helo being her BFF! It was also really easy to write. If I recall correctly, I wrote almost all of it in one sitting.
