Saw this meme going around my interwebs; here at this moment via
nonelvis.
I currently have 24 works archived at the AO3. Pick a number from 1 (the most recent) to 24 (the first thing I posted there), and I'll tell you three things I currently like about it.
Caveat that "most recent" is somewhat misleading here, because I haven't written any fanfic in over four years. (well, ok, haven't posted; there's still my one embarrassing foray into RPF and another similarly embarrassing self-insert in a very obscure fandom that are tightly under wraps...)

I still really like the general idea/image of fabric made magically out of starlight, which was one of those things that came to me as I was falling asleep and I had to wake back up and scribble it down. I'm fond of some of my turns of phrase, like "Severus had several cruel ironies in his life that he bitterly enjoyed taking out and savoring now and again, like a personal selection of ugly-flavored novelty confectionery." I also like that I kind of subverted the thing about how many old fanfics used to pretty Severus up to make him more attractive, by having him be repulsed by seeing himself in the mirror that way and then it not actually turning out that that's what Lily saw, either.

I mean it's very very early, and I'm kind of embarrassed about that whole area of time now and there are definitely things I would not write again. I do still like the image of Severus actually being relaxed enough to sing or hum unawares, and the kind of poignant note at the end based on the reader knowing how things really turned out.
