You know I'm always down to talk about some popslash, but these two questions are impossible to answer!
For the Writers (aka, my own stuff): Ugh. Honestly, I'm so faithless. My most *and* least favorite fic is always gonna be whichever one I've finished most recently. But if audience response is a factor, the McBass "Christmas Eve in NYC" AU I wrote two years ago brought a lot of friendly faces out of the woodwork. Mucho, mucho feedback in my inbox. So that was fun.
In hindsight, the Choey mental hospital/time travel thing I wrote for Ephemera could've used A LOT of streamlining. It just had soooo much going on! But at the same time, I kind of love that I went for it, even if the results were less than perfect, you know?
For the Recipients: I swear I'm not just being diplomatic when I say I never once received an MtYG fic I didn't like. But...the rom-com AU I got from Sperrywink in 2017 was a special kind of wonderful. She rewrote The Holiday for me -- and totally excised the suckier half! It was a masterful bit of mind reading, 'cos she had no way of knowing I prefer the Winslet-y half of that movie, and I'm still amazed when I think about it.
If I'd known at the time that it was gonna be our last MtYG, I would've said it was the perfect note to go out on. And it was. :)
