Post, in your journal, a rec list singling out the best of your own fics. Tell people why you are especially proud of those particular fics, and of course provide links to them. Yes, that's right, this step involves self-promotion. How else are people supposed to find your fics? List as many or as few as you feel appropriate to represent your body of writing.
Also include a paragraph about the types of fics you most enjoy reading or are most interested in reading in the immediate future -- favorite tropes, pairings, fandoms, whatever. If you're particularly lazy, link to that Dear Writer post you did for whatever holiday exchange comes to mind.
Reply to other rec posts (like for example the one you are reading now) by reccing a fic of your own that might fit the original poster's tastes, or that you'd just really like them to read, because maybe they don't know they'd like it.
This goes against everything I hold dear, to promote myself, but I'm going to give it a shot!
( So I write things sometimes! )
Types of fic that I like... well, I like anything that makes me feel something strongly, be it happiness or emotional destruction. I love stories about my ships, or the relationships I like- friendships and families. I love fics that fill in the gaps, or explain how things happened, or why things are the way they are. I love lots and lots of details and backstories. And I'm known for my fondness for cracky AUs.
(Now please, everyone, do this meme so I don't feel conceited.)
