a podcast and a podficlet

Cover art by yue_ix!

yue_ix and I recorded a conversation about making/doing things other than fic as a ramp-up post for the new round of kink_bingo! It lasts about 33 minutes and talks about bringing fandom kinks into different parts of your life, letting go of the desire to be perfect when sharing fanworks, and some other things. We talked a bunch about transformative works and then totally forgot to ask people to put up transformative works/blanket permission statements lol. Check out the post at the comm for download/streaming/transcription options, links to things we discussed, and hopefully comments from other listeners! There have been a ton of great posts (including audio posts) there in the last couple weeks. I'm so excited to start the new round!

I also made another tiny and not-at-all-porny podfic for the latest bonus challenge at summerpornathon:

Title: Kit'n Kaboodle
Author: cat_77
Reader: sophinisba
Fandom: Merlin
Starring: Gaius, Gwen, Arthur, and Merlin
Rating: G
Contains: Adorable fluffy kittens
Summary: Arthur and Merlin as adorable fluffy kittens.
Reader's notes: Recorded for the Animals bonus challenge at summerpornathon: pornathon comment thread. It was funny just now when I was copying and pasting this header from my last podfic post, deleting all the stuff about tentacle rape and writing in fluffy kittens instead.
Length: 3:25 minutes

As you know (I think), I loved the podcast that you and yue_ix did together. It got me really excited about KB and I even signed up. Eeee.

I tried to stream this podfic and it's not working, much to my dismay. Just thought you'd like to know. Don't know if it's a temporary thing (someone else said her streaming links weren't working yesterday, but they had worked just fine for me).

Oh, thanks for letting me know about the streaming problem, but I guess I will just take down that link and leave the download option. I spent a couple of hours and uploaded to three different websites trying to get a streaming link that would work on both LJ and Dreamwidth, and I'm pretty sure that it did for a few days, but it didn't result in anybody commenting over at the pthon, which was the whole point, so I think I give up!

But I'm so glad you got something out of the podcast and decided to sign up for kink_bingo! It's been so great for me and creativity these last couple years, and I'm excited about things I'm gonna do with my new cards, though ironically right now I want to fill most of my squares by writing fic. :D

Ugh! So frustrating, when technology does not work. I will have to DL it then.

Definitely. I am thinking about kink in a whole new way and that's rather exciting.

I think any excitement is good, so if you are excited about writing, nothing wrong with that at all:D

Have just listened to the podfic. Aw, it's adorable:) Thanks for recording and sharing.
