Hello, friends. I am having some computer troubles and probably won't be around much for a few days. I'm doing well otherwise, hope you are too. ♥

It's possible I've written fewer words of fic this year than any year since I've been in fandom, and most of that has been short PWPs (plus a few other ficlets that didn't have porn or plot). However, I would never skip the fic year in review meme because I love it, plus it is nice to compare from year to year.

Yay, I finished my series of Lancelot mini-AUs! I decided to call it Five Ways Lancelot Got What He Always Wanted because they all sort of turned out that way, even though they were all somewhat angsty. I realized a few days ago that if I'd planned a little better I could have gone for an Asexual Characters Bingo, since none of them were really about sex. Too bad I put that handjob in the Freya/Lancelot one. Oh well, it is still a bingo and I will post at the comm tonight! This feels like a good way to round off the year in fic. :)

Let's have some memage! First here's the one with favorite shows and stuff. ( Your main fandom... )

I figure I'll do the one about fics I wrote next week, even though I didn't write much this year, and then I should also do one for the podfics I made, though I don't know of a template for that. Podficcers, what do you think of this?
( podfic meme template )

Oh wait, dude, I totally did a podfic year in review meme already last year! Here's the template:
<b>Stats:</b> <b>What was the best podfic you made this year?</b> <b>Most popular?</b> <b>Most underappreciated?</b> <b>Personal favorite, for whatever reason?</b> <b>Most difficult to make?</b> <b>Most "ah ha ha I can't believe I'm doing this"?</b> <b>Most fun to make?</b> <b>Was there one that didn't turn out the way you wanted?</b> <b>Biggest learning experience?</b> <b>What's next? Do you have any podfic goals for next year?</b>
Ha ha I feel like a dork now. Well, use whatever version you like, of course. I hope a lot of people will do it!

I've been trying to figure out what to record for podficbigbang and remembering that I just don't read all that much long fic. Do you have any recs for me?

Merlin fans, what are you favorite fics of, say, between 30,000 and 70,000 words? Anything you've read that especially made you think it would be great to have a podfic of it?

Readers, what are you favorite fics of over 10,000 words with women in the lead (any fandom)?

Some things I especially like:
-queer people (in the story, not necessarily/only in the main pairing)
-kink in relationships
-hurt/comfort
-captivity, exile
-world-building
-well developed secondary characters
-fics that have not been podficced before
-authors who give blanket permission

Some things I would like to avoid
-typos, spelling and grammar mistakes
-sentences with way more words and clauses than they need
-sexism, racism, etc.
-words and names I don't know how to pronounce :D

Hey guys, podficbigbang is starting up another round and this year they're mirroring it as podficbigbang here on Dreamwidth! I made three podfics for that fest last year, including probably the most popular one I've made, and I got to work with both Yues as cover artists and it was generally great!

Signups are open now and final drafts aren't due until May 25th. They are also looking for cheerleader/betas, visual artists, and people who can do other types of complements and collaborations like adding music or sound effects or making vid-type trailers. The minimum podfic length is still 1 hour (about 10K words of text) but I'm hoping to do something bigger this year - we'll see! Who else is gonnna play?

Happy birthday, baranduin! You are a good friend and a talented, thoughtful person. I feel lucky to know you and I'm so glad we'll get to hang out again in a few weeks, even if it's just a brief visit this time.

I wrote another Lancelot ficlet!

Title: Perfect
Fandom: Merlin
Characters/Ships: Lancelot, Arthur/Gwen (IT CAN BE ARTHUR/GWEN/LANCELOT IF YOU WANT)
Rating: G + 1 swear word
Contains: n/a
Wordcount: 500 (five drabbles)
Notes: Part of my series of five 500-word Lancelot AUs (three finished so far) inspired by 5x09. This one less spoilery than the others, written for the "humiliation (in public)" square on my second kink_bingo card. My first G-rated kink-bingo fill! Thanks to claudia603 and bessyboo for their help. Dedicated to meri and also written out of great affection for baranduin though I know it's not your fandom so don't feel obligated to read it or anything.
Summary: Figure skater AU!

I had kind of a rough day offline today, but I've been having a great time in fandom lately. Look at these awesome things my friend have made!

-So this weekend I asked yue_ix to look over the Arthur/Merlin ficlet I had written with five squares from my kink_bingo card, If I Cannot Be Your Queen. While we were chatting about it she started drawing a picture of Gwen, inspired by my story but using five kinks from her card and with ending up with a more kink-positive message than I had been using (I was expressing some of my angst about 4x09 and Yue was using kink to turn it into something less angsty). So yeah she came up with this beautiful picture where Gwen has sparkles in her hair!!! If I Can't Go To Your Dungeons by yue_ix, probably not safe for work Gwen art yay!

-Another thing that happened recently was that anatsuno and I were chatting and she said she wished there were more fic with top!Merlin and I said indeed it is a rare and beautiful thing, but that I also thought she would like some of lolafeist's fics where Merlin is such a strong sub that Arthur's kind of in awe of him. And sure enough anat went and podficced The One at a Sex Club where Merlin anon!fails because she liked it so much, and it was very sexy in anat's voice and I loved listening to it, as well as the Community/Doctor Who crossover podfic that is also at that link.

-Then another thing that happened was that I read this beautiful intense Gwaine/Merlin bdsm fic by leashy_bebes and I tweeted that it was great and might be of interest to other fans of top!Merlin, and that I'd love to listen to a podfic of it. So then meri decided to record both that and a lovely safeword fic set in the same universe for me!!! So the other day I got to listen to the very warm and lovely (Safe) Words and then this morning I got to listen to the sexy sexy A Force When We're Together. I feel so lucky!

-Okay and I didn't have anything to do with this thing getting made but it needs to be talked about because GUYS DID YOU SEE THAT dodificus MADE A PODFIC OF VOID AND THAT IT IS 9 HOURS OF SQUIRMERRIFIC TEENAGE DUBCON? If you were in Faculty fandom I'm sure you remember this. But even if you've never seen the movie or read another Faculty fic you can still understand and admire this one. Here is the podfic and here is the podbook and here is the text. ;skljd;flkjs ls

-Oh and hey, there is an informal podfic gift exchange going on right now and I hope the person assigned to me does not feel pressured to record kinky fic or porn if that's not what they're into. I really love all kinds of things including hurt/comfort and gen. This person is probably more organized than me and has already picked out and recorded something, but if they're feeling lost they might find the posts on my dear creator letter tag helpful. <3
