24 Things of Advent - Batch 6
16. A thing your childhood self would have loved/needed
Seeing my writing in printed, bound book! Last year, I published a few fics for myself via Lulu (technically, you're not supposed to publish fanfic through them, but because it's only for my own enjoyment and not for sale, I think it's okay). I had fun designing the covers and it's really neat to see them sitting on my bookshelf.
For the record, I did this for "Easy Silence," a collection of The Blue Castle fics, and my original fic, "Home is Where You Hold Me."
17. A thing that would have made your childhood self blush
Anything involving so much as a kiss. I was a weird, straight-laced, prudish child. XD But for the sake of this question, I'll go ahead and say "Easy Silence" (FFX, Auron/Lulu), my first E-rated fic.
18. A thing made for your own healing/comfort
I can't think of anything off the top of my head. I generally don't turn to my creativity for comfort; it's more of an entertainment thing for me. That said, some fics have been cathartic, and I have cried while writing them, but I think that's more to do with being in the character's headspace than anything to do with my own personal wounds.
