Snurched from izhilzha and astrogirl2. (in toto from astro, I even stole her commentary about it!) Also, fanfic writing, I miss you! I want to come back

Maybe you could ETA to say that for those ones you hate now you can say what you've learned about writing since then that made you change your opinion, and how you'd change it?
Wellll, other than the fact that - oh, that? [stuffs a few reaching finger bones back behind the door, slams the door and leans heavily upon it] Nothing! It's nothing! OH OKAY IT"S A SKELETON ONE OF MANY, OKAY? - I might have been able to understand how you might feel.
LOL, ironically it's one of my Daniel & Vala fics: After the Battle, a fic I wrote because it bugged me how Daniel was comparing Vala to Teal'c when defending her to Landry.
1. I love Daniel giving Sam the Ori wrist gun/stunner/thingie to study and her momentary geeking on it.
2. The mental connection Daniel was making between Adria and Shifu during the main instrospection phase--I remember it only started coming out as an idea as I was writing and as I started, it seemed obvious that these human/ascended hybrid should've been explored.
3. While I still wince sometimes at the Daniel & Vala dialogue--some parts are good, some are clunky, I love the conversation Daniel overheard between Vala and Teal'c. I think I caught the tone and voices well there.
Fights of Ingenuity! That is a fic I am particularly proud of. It was inspired as a sequel of a fic Pepper wrote me, it's a friendship fic of Jack O'Neill and Teal'c during that transition time where Jack/RDA left when they're playing tourist at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum.
1. I love Teal'c's skepticism of Jack's fascination with a moon rock when he knows full well Jack gets bored out of his mind when they explore other planets just for (naquadah/trinium/shiny object) rocks.
2. Teal'c's unabashed interest in Star Wars as allegory, even as he is aware of and dismisses Jack's lack of enthusiasm.
3. This, which I only fully considered as I was writing it,. I like the concept and the execution:
" He had become so accustomed to the Tau'ri's current level of technology, it had not occurred to him how recently they developed

1. I liked how there was an episode relationship to the story--and I'm still not sure how my brain connected that icon to show canon.
2. The team banter with fanboy Mitchell and O'Neill references. I felt good about the dynamic at the time.
3. "Hit it in the butterfly!" (Complete with Daniel's reaction).

1. Totally passes the Bechdel test.
2. Even though it was brief undercurrents, I liked having the alien bonding undercurrent between Cassie and Vala, especially over Nirrti.
3. I love writing outsider POV to my fanfic stories, and Carolyn Lam was a good fit here for that.
