Percy/Annabeth ship manifesto

[greenconverses]

My project this week is working on the Percy/Annabeth essay for ship_manifesto that needs to be posted Sunday. I have less than 200 words for something that's probably going to be upwards of 2,500 when finished, so yaaaay for procrastination! Good thing I've written this essay in my head, like, a million times already and spring break is next week, otherwise I'd be screwed.

But, I do need some help. There's supposed to be a fandom guide for the pairing - essentially what a new kid should read/look at - and while I have my own ideas of what to suggest, I know I've probably missed something out there. So, P/A fans on my f-list, what fanworks (fics, art, fanmixes, etc.) would you recommnd for this awesomesauce ship?

Oh, I know. It is tres difficult.
Greenconverses, I know it would seem...perhaps self-promoting/narcissistic to list your own fics, but...they're so good! Between a Rock and a Hard Place has to be one of my favorite-ever Percy/Annabeth stories. I don't see how anyone could list the "must reads" without it.

I have to second (or is it third?) this comment. How could you do a percy/annabeth ship manifesto if you don't include the queen of percy/annabeth fics greenconverses ?? The idea is mindblowing! The list would be incomplete if you didn't include your own work!

Aw, thank you! I'm trying to avoid putting any of my fics on the rec list at all costs and I'll probably only do it if I'm short on content otherwise. I feel like I'd be abusing the manifesto if I did put my fics on it.

Would it be more normal to just list your username rather than recommending specific fics of yours? That wouldn't seem so...self-promoting, I guess. Just, "Hey, I'm here. Ignore me or see what I have to offer." Of course, the logical choice is the second one, but it's not so in-your-face as actually listing the fics.
