A few recs and things!

First of all let's talk about some podfic things!

( podfic links, mostly Merlin podfic recs )

Here are a few fics I've enjoyed reading recently!

( Arthur/Merlin, Gwaine/Merlin, Arthur/Gwen )

And here are links to some other things!

-month_of_meta is a new comm encouraging people to post meta during March. I really enjoyed lunabee34's post Fannish Trajectories: Isolation, a Sense of Disconnection from Fandom, and How We Deal and saw a lot of parallels with my own experience, though she and I are in pretty different places now.

-eruthros made an epic picspam of famous people and animals (mostly dogs and cats) that is sure to brighten your day, evening, etc. There are more pictures of cute animals and other happy-making things in the comments to thingswithwings's post sick: send help.

-The March mini-challenge at kink_bingo is to try new things, ideally "A character/pairing I've never worked on before, from a fandom I've never worked on before, doing a kink I've never done in my fanworks before, in a medium (painting/fic/vidding/podfic/etc) I've never tried to do before." This idea makes me happy! I realized there are not a lot of fandoms that I like but have never podficced in, but my current plan is to write a song for a pairing I've never worked on in a fandom I've only made a couple podfics for (never written in), and a kink where I've so far only written a drabble. I think that should be a good challenge!
