I'm curious; what is the most interesting mod you have ever created/tested?  I'm new compared to most on here, but I do have one creation I'm mostly proud of: my buffalot, my defensive powerhouse, my dwarven tool.  Huge, hoofed quadruped made mostly of adamantine (butchering results in adamantine), milkable, shearable, massively useful.  They shoot solid globs of spinning slade and web, inject a poison similar to that of the giant desert scorpion from both his horns and teeth, only with a higher severity rating.  But, to be honest, it's not all that "interesting."  The buffalot is powerful, oh yes, but it was just see what I could do to a water buffalo.  So, what is your most interesting creation?  What was your inspiration?  Tell us (me) about the more interesting processes that got you to the finished product.

I made a mod that lets me watch threads for other mods without having to be active in them. I call it PTW.

In terms of fort mode, What has Science Done, which I could call "anti-masterwork" (more materials! less gamey!), but I won't because that'd be dumb . Adventure mode, Sparking (though Earthward Pick is getting up there). In terms of wonder, Fortbent. In terms of weird, SCP mod (One of my first working features was SCP-914. That was a bad idea!). Fun goes to Sparking. Interest goes to Fortbent, SCP or Science, depending on your tastes (Homestuck? Fortbent. SCP? SCP. Electrowinning, hydrochloric acid, magical elven grottos and (soon!) magical human wands? Science).

>> Electrowinning, hydrochloric acid, magical elven grottos and (soon!) magical human wands? Science

I knew I should have stuck with chemical engineering classes longer when in was in uni, I got out right after electrowinning and hydrochloric acid :/

Hmm now that I've posted I guess I should try to say something on topic too
For "interesting" I'll go with orcish Raiding system and Carvanserai. 
For "fun/wonderful" I'll say the Magma source station although not really my creation; that was a community effort.

Creative process:

1 take all stuff from my favorite mods and dump into raw/objects folder
2 learn how to mod by resolving the resulting errors
3 add orcs
4 change mod so that my wife thinks its fun
5 change mod so that it's more balanced/creative/debugged except if doing so conflicts with step 4

Pff...I have never even been to a university.

In terms of mods: I think I like the GUI most. While based on the LNP, its the first mod to have easily adjustable settings. Other then that, the Accelerated DF, because that one I wrote myself from scratch.

4 change mod so that my wife thinks its fun

I can totally relate, my wife has me make a reindeer farm in every fort I make, it's a nice little side quest to add to whatever else I'm trying to do at the time.
