links and things

Hey, so, I unsubscribed from some people on Dreamwidth last night because there have been too many posts for me to keep track of lately. It wasn't because anyone did anything to upset me or anything! I'm sure I will see you guys around.

Okay, that is still awkward even if you stop using the word "friend".

Oh my gosh I need to make a real post about the Awesome Ladies Podfic Anthology because it is huge and full of variety and women's voices and seriously awesome! But that post will take formatting and coding and probably thinking, so I'm putting it off. But just trust me that it is awesome, and go and download and listen to it! (Or do that with some of the pieces if you don't want/don't have room on your computer or mp3 player for all seven and a half hours.) I have listened to about a third of it so far and it is bringing me a lot of joy.

I have also been listening to Sinéad O'Connor's new album streaming on the NPR website a lot over the last few days, and I like it very much. My favorite tracks are "Queen of Denmark" and "V.I.P.".

The next camelot_fleet Fanlore project is to build up the page for Gwaine. There is a very short page there now but he has become such an important character in fandom, there's all kinds of material we can add. If you can't make it for the editing party tomorrow maybe you can drop a comment at the Fleet post or a link in the Google doc that's linked there. We did a lot of good work on the Merlin pages at Fanlore in March of 2010 but obviously the show and the fandom have changed a lot since then, so it's good to document that.

Hey and speaking of Gwaine, leish aka quintenttsy aka...omg I cannot even say my newest comrade from Team Merlin Femslash Podfic because there are so many fabulous new people now with the anthology and all... Anyway, Leishy left a ton of Gwaine recs and some Elyan recs in comments to one of my posts from last weekend, so check those out if you are a fan of Gwaine and/or Elyan!

Feel free to unsub from me if you want. I will totally understand as I'm super chatty/posty:D

I have started listening to the Anthology and it's AWESOME. I am loving each and every one.

Nah, I was just unsubbing from some people that I almost never interact with.

I love the anthology so much. I have so many reactions and things I need to say to the readers but I can't even keep track of who read what. It is just a wonderful whole. It is awesome.

Heh. I need to figure out which spammy comms to unsub from on LJ.

I know! I am loving each piece I'm listening to, but I am not keeping track of who is reading what because I'm sewing as I'm listening. I loved the one at the beginning that was a Dr Who piece. I think I'm in the middle of one of yours, actually. You have a lovely voice.

Thanks! I was looking through the spreadsheet on Saturday afternoon and was distressed to realize there was no Martha Jones on it, so I found a drabble on the AO3 and asked the author for permission to podfic. They didn't get back to me though so on Sunday I went back and found this other ficlet that I liked even better, and that was written by an author who'd given blanket permission. So I recorded that and the folks who were putting things in order decided it would be a good way to kick thinks off! Such a string of luck! It was a really nice surprise to hear it when I started listening on Wednesday morning.

Well, yay for luck then!

Also, I'm damned impressed that you can find something and record it and get it all done so nicely in such a short time.
