Seven Days of Self-Promotion
Every day (consecutively or not), post about one of your fanworks:
1. Something old
2. Something new
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
It won't be every day, but over the next few weeks I shall aim to write something.
Beginning with: Something old. Midsomer Mars
Written for the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
lifein1973 Big Bang three years ago. The wordage was 12,500 and I wrote 12,501 words. It was the longest thing I'd written for a number of years and is still the second longest thing I've written. Unlike many on my flist, who regularly churn out 5,000 words before breakfast, there is for me a distinct air of achievement here.
It's a crossover between Life on Mars (Sam Tyler and Gene Hunt) and Midsomer Murders (Tom Barnaby and Ben Jones). Whilst set in the 1970s, as befits Life on Mars, I simply moved Barnaby and Jones back a few years, since village life hasn't changed a great deal. It was written just before we moved from a Gloucestershire village, and I took the opportunity to incorporate many of the idiosyncrasies of village life - so generally, the more bizarre the more likely it is to have happened. Andtogsos artwork is not to be missed.
