7 Days of Self-Promotion - Day 4

4. Something you made just for yourself

Fanfic
I tend to write what I'd like to read (isn't that the case for everyone?), though I don't really write just for myself. I wouldn't publish it otherwise - not even bother write it at all. But still, there's one story I did write mostly because I wanted it and no one had written it. I was looking for an episode tag to Checkmate and all I could find were Neal-centric stories! Not that I mind a little whump!Neal, but that reunion should be all a Peter/El moment. And no Peter/El tag to be found. So I did it myself. It's called Happy Endings and it's a couple additional scenes after Peter and El are reunited.
It's still one of my earliest fics, and it does feel a little awkward at times...

Fanart
Most of my wallpapers are first and foremost made for my own contemplative pleasure. Which is why a lot of them are still 1600x900, though I try to remind myself these days that I should probably make them 1920x1080 if I want to share them.
But basically, when I do a wallpaper just for myself, all I need is that adorable face. So, I keep the "artistic" at the minimum.

Fanvids
It wasn't easy to find a video that fitted the "just for yourself". Like everything else, I make fanvids as part of my own fannish entertainment, but also in the hope it'll entertain others just as much. So I was scratching my head looking over my masterlist and then I saw that one. We Will Stand Tall. It was in a sense, for myself, as it worked as a catharsis to get over my trauma of Peter being arrested... Still not completely over that one... Despite the second therapeutic vid I did. In a Jailhouse. This is my therapy. Step one: face your fears. Step two: make fun of it. Step three: Give Tim that hug you've been wanting to give Peter the entire last season.


The Days:
1. Something old
2. Something new - talk about a new fanwork of yours!
3. Something you made for someone else
4. Something you made just for yourself
5. Something for a large fandom/pairing/character
6. Something for a small fandom/pairing/character
7. Something you're just really proud of.

Lovely! Such a fun meme! :)

I'm hoping to get onto this meme next week - there's a photo I want to share and it needs scanning in, so that will probably get done at the weekend by hubby (he's better at it than me).

It was fun to reread Happy Endings - Peter and El are such a wonderful couple.

The wallpapers are great and I especially want Peter as my bartender :-)
