Sophinisba Solis

In the last couple weeks four different people have made podfics of things I wrote!!!!!!!

flammablehat made her very first podfic with Drink His Kiss Down Dry (Merlin/Nimueh, 5 minutes). This is a porny D/s ficlet and she reads it in a matter-of-fact way that I think fits Nimueh very well. I helped show her how to edit so I listened to the raw file and was crazy jealous of how few mistakes she made while she was reading, so I figure she is a natural at this (not that one needs to be) and she and another friend and I have decided to go in on a 4-hour project together. Ha! Anyway, please welcome a new reader to the fold.

leish aka quintenttsy recorded falcon and a dove (Gwen/Merlin, 4 minutes). This is quite light and playful and everything I love about my secret OTP, really.

croissantkatie listened to leish's podfic and liked it so much that she decided to repod it! Now this is very exciting in itself because omg transformative works! I wrote that story inspired by yue_ix's artwork rosebud with a flush and to a lesser extent by a commentfic by isabear that was also inspired by yue's work. yue's drawing was in turn inspired by a lyric by John Boyle O’Reilly (and obvs by this show we watch) and it is just this whole universe of connections spinning around and making me very happy to be part of it.

But then also Katie was enjoying that so much that she read a bunch of my other fics and decided to make a whole little anthology of 5 Merlin podfics!!
-falcon and a dove (Gwen/Merlin, 4 minutes)
-Her Balm, Her Bane (Morgana/Morgause, 7 minutes)
-If I Cannot Be Your Queen (Gwen/Arthur, 5 minutes)
-The Opposite of Work (Gwen & Morgana friendship, 5 minutes)
-My Best Kept Secret (Freya/Merlin, 12 minutes)
These are all pretty small but there's also a huge range between them, including one of my first Merlin fics from three years ago as well as three that were dark enough to make me fear I'd lose friends when I posted them (rapist!Merlin wth). Katie takes different approaches to reading them, and some were very close to what I had in my head as a writer while others were very different. Listening to them was thus trippy and emotional and excellent.

cantarina wanted to help me celebrate something that happened offline last week so she asked me for something to podfic and I picked one of my last Lord of the Rings fics Little Illusions (post-quest RosieSamFrodo, 3 minutes). It is quite lovely and might be fun for some of my old friends to listen to even if you are normally not into podfic (there's a streaming link so you don't need to bother downloading).

Also also, for Reverse Remix (which is still going and also has LotR people in it!), netgirl_y2k wrote Sparring Partners, (Forridel/Morgana, 880 words), a wonderful update on a comment fic I wrote during season 2. If you love Morgana you gotta love Netgirl.

♥ ♥ ♥ fandom.

trascendenza and I also got assigned to each other in the last round of remixthedrabble. She wrote an adorable Jayne/Simon drabble, Thank You (The Proper Remix), from my Thank You.

Here are the two other drabbles I wrote:

( Inspector Uhl's Regrets (The Picking Up the Pieces Remix), The Illusionist )

( Contentment (The Unenchanted Remix), Brokeback Mountain AU )

And here's what I've written so far at the small fandoms haikuathon. I was planning to post all of mine together at the end of the week but then I realized I could pimp the comm some more by posting now. Really, I am having a wonderful time with this challenge and I think a lot of you would too. It lasts until the 21st. Definitions of both "haiku" and "small fandom" are flexible.

Um, I'm not going to bother with ratings and wordcounts for each of these. The post goes up to maybe R for sexuality.

( Brokeback Mountain: Passed On (Mrs. Twist) )
( Brokeback Mountain: She (Alma Jr./OFC) )
( Everything Is Illuminated: Flower Season (Lista) )
( Lost: Message (Charlie/Desmond) )
( Mysterious Skin: Hush (Neil/OMC, tanka) )
( Northern Exposure: Pheromones (Chris/Joel) )
( Pushing Daisies: Modern Love (Ned/Chuck) )

I'm also participating in the Heroes haikuathon. All my Heroes haikus are in comments to that post.

Watched some more episodes, wrote some more drabbles:
( The Day You Die – Zoe/Serenity, PG )
( Thank You – Jayne/Simon, PG )
( Sharing – Jayne and Mal, PG )

I wrote a set of three drabbles for Pan's Labyrinth, which I saw this afternoon! Friends, please do not read these if you haven't seen the movie! They have big SPOILERS and won't make sense to you if you haven't seen it anyway. (They might also have errors, which you should tell me about. I have only seen the movie the one time.)

Go see the movie though and then come back! :D

[ETA: read the remix drabbles!

"Express Train to Hobbiton" challenge | my fic index

I am reposting my fic for the Spring 2006 Frodo Fic Exchange (written for ladysunrope) because danachan (the beta and a wonderful friend) told me to. Although it's NC-17, it is mostly about Frodo and Merry talking about the quest, so fans of genfic who can tolerate a certain amount of innuendo are invited to stop reading around the time Merry drags Frodo to the bedroom, and pick up again after the second line across the page. Those who are looking for a PWP, on the other hand (Frodo on top, hey), now know just where to go. :)

Title: Family and Friends
Pairing: Frodo/Merry (implied Merry/Pippin, Frodo/Merry/Pippin, Sam/Rosie)
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Merry visits Bag End two weeks after Elanor's birth.
Warnings: Post-quest angst. Disregard for monogamy.

ETA: Read the remix by emmademarais: Incense (The Honey Remix). /ETA

Okay, I said I'd post this as soon as my friend got back from vacation, and she posted a little while ago, so:

Here is my Firefly ficlet (set of five drabbles) for my RL friend gamerchick, who knows a hundred times more about Firefly than I do and who thinks fanfic is silly.

*is not intimidated in the least*

She asked for Jayne-centric and/or Kaylee/Inara. What I've done is a bit of gapfiller for "Out of Gas," in which Book, Jayne, Kaylee, and Inara spend several hours together on a shuttle, and the only thing we find out about how it went is that Jayne thought it smelled funny. Unbetaed because not enough of my friends are into Firefly.

( Incense, PG-13 )

Hurrah! Just set up wireless Internet in my parents' house, so I'm back, and with much reading to do.

In celebration of my newly recovered freedom, here's another pair of drabbles (which I actually wrote back in April). G and gen, although not exactly fluff.
ETA: Read Left Behind in the Lockholes (The Outlook Remix) by hyel, written for remixthedrabble in October, 2007./ETA.
