ALSO I am a disaster area who is always forgetting to talk about the cool things people are doing with my fic. So here are three belated things:

Kollega translated my Doctor Who fic The Most Secret Diary into Russian, which can be found here. She ALSO sent me some comments translated from Russian to English, which was awesome and saved me from awkward google translate (I am always hungry for comments).

juniperphoenix made a podfic of my Doctor Who fic Young Men and Fast Cars, which can be found here. It's a really good reading that completely captures the tone I was trying for :)

More recently, petercapaldi on tumblr (who assures me that they are the real Peter Capaldi, definitely) made a fanmix based on my Hawkeye fic Life of Crime, which can be found here. I have been listening to this over and over while unpacking/studying/lying around uselessly, it is a good time.

Quick life stuff update: I went home for two weeks and now I am back in grad school land, where I have been doing a little bit of work but have mostly been lying around and coaching and being kind of sick. Coaching is FRUSTRATING but actually going really well?? No one will do what I think they should except for when it suddenly works. For example today I had to scold one of the kids for hitting too hard and make his friends scold him etc and he was totally blowing me off and I was going to murder him... Except then he stopped hitting so hard and started being a little more controlled and won the competition. I am proud and annoyed. I have to hang out with all of these kids for allllll of next weekend while we ride a bus all over the place and fence and ride back, haha. I will probably not murder any of them.

I got up at 6am and coached from 7.30 to 4.30 and I feel like I am slowly collapsing in on myself. Currently I am sitting around in someone else's house with someone else's dog, as part of a 'write things' party. So far I have written one entire email, filled out part of an application for a summer program, done that Yuletide repost, done some tag wrangling, and responded to a few comments! And written this post. I am not sure if this is an illusion of productivity or actual productivity.

remix things!

2014-05-21T04:57:56Z

Reveals are up! So now I know that the extremely excellent Lost in the Fire was written by honeynoir, and I can post the header etc for my remix:

Constellations (The Thirteenth Take Remix)
Welcome to Night Vale
Rating: pg
(kissing, swearing. Let me know if you need details.)
Characters: Cecil/Carlos.
Wordcount: 2,900ish
Summary: The night sky is dark, an empty void except for the pinpricks of dancing starlight. “Are stars supposed to dance?” asks Carlos. “I thought that was a, uh, metaphor.”
A/N: A remix of sabinelagrande's You're My Moon. Betaed by the excellent einzwitterion! The fic is a mixed audio/written work, but can be read without audio or listened to as a complete podfic.

Read it on the AO3.

I haven't gotten a chance to dig through the rest of remix because LIFE, but I'm looking forward to it. If you want to rec remixes or pimp your own remix, this would be a good place to do it at me? I really would appreciate pointers at what to look at, as I'm currently in a pit of baseball RPF (don't look at me like that, I know), and it may take me a while to look at the remix entries on my own.

three things in a post

2014-05-13T02:32:41Z

1) Podfic.
susan_voight recorded a podfic of Team the Best Team (my Elementary OT3 fic)! It is here and it is excellent. I should have mentioned it foreeeeveer ago, but my memory is full of potholes. Definitely check this one out, I love susan_voight's delivery.

2) Remix.
It is remix time again! Someone remixed me! I'm so excited. Lost in the Fire is a remix of Continuing Care, which is a Who fic that I had completely forgotten existed. The remix is sort of a graceful and painful meditation on the Doctor's relationship/guilt complex/duality with the Master, and so I obviously I am super into it and I suspect a lot of my f-list will be too? Check it out, I'm already dying to know who wrote it.

3) Rec.
So I am going to a Red Sox game this week, and in preparation I watched Money Ball, because everyone keeps telling me to watch it. This is what happens when you hang out with statistics geeks. The movie was reasonably fun, but it left me with one of those yanking-in-my-chest character obsessions with Billy Beane. Idk, man, these things happen. I went off in search of fic, mostly without hope, but the internet came through for me. Oh, the internet came through. Front Offices is Theo Epstein/Billy Beane Baseball RPF. It's gorgeous, and heart-breaking, and I am going to read it at least fifteen more times this month. The writing is really excellent, the character arcs are believable and thoughtful, and man, this thing is funny. I promise you don't have to know anything about baseball to read it. Do you care about middle-aged dudes being assholes to each other and then making out and then having feelings and then making fun of each other? You will love this fic, I think.

I was chatting with a friend about baseball today, and impressed him with all of my sudden knowledge about the A's and the Red Sox's games in the early 2000s. Also knowing that the Dodgers used to play in Brooklyn, and being able to discuss Tim Lincecum's hair. I still have no idea how baseball is actually played.

it is so cold here

2013-12-09T01:39:12Z

And it keeps snowing. The roads are a mess. Welcome to the frozen north.

ANYWAY, this is a post to say that someone did a podfic of one of my fics, and it is awesome! Hobbit_feets podficced The Amazon (my Four/Delgado!Master and Jo & Delgado!Master manifesto). You can find it here.

podfic: The FCC Won't Let Me Be (Radio Edit Version)

2013-09-29T19:44:52Z

Just remembered that I hadn't made a post about this! I helped make a weird remix-y podfic, it was fun. The link to the podfic also has a link to an mp3 of me swearing for 10 seconds, which you are welcome to listen to and/or turn into your ringtone.

[Podfic] The FCC Won't Let Me Be (Radio Edit Version) by neveralarch and einzwitterion
Welcome to Night Vale
Rating: Teen
(swearing)
Characters: Carlos/Cecil
Length: <10 minutes
Summary: It seems ridiculous that someone like Cecil would swear at all, let alone as much as he does.
A podfic of sabinelagrande's The FCC Won't Let Me Be, conveniently sanitized for radio audience.
A/N: Won't make much sense unless you've read the original fic, which is here. Definitely check it out, though, as it is short and the podfic is short and I think they are a good combo.

podfic: The Caged Cinema

2012-03-20T02:45:12Z

Hopefully this works, I am uncertain about SoundCloud and how it is a thing.

The Caged Cinema
Written and read by neveralarch
Doctor Who
Rating: adult
(sex, BDSM themes [sensory deprivation])
Characters: Shalka!Doctor/Shalka!Master
Length: 24ish minutes
Summary: The Doctor plays mechanic.

I recorded this at the same time as all those shorter podfics, but I haven't had time to check it over and post. But there! It is done.

(If you have read this fic before, I hope you were imagining the Doctor's voice during most of it as the default voice of the free windows screenreader, because that is how I read it and it makes the whole thing even more deeply awkward, I think.)

a bunch of random podfic

2012-03-06T20:52:46Z

I acquired a microphone on Sunday, for a SECRET PROJECT which I will probably be working on for quite a while with nothing to show for it as of yet. But while I was testing the microphone and retraining myself on audacity, I recorded a bunch of very short podfic of my own stories. It's all in very small fandoms, so I don't know if anyone will be interested, but I figured I'd let people know anyway.

Also, concrit is super appreciated at the moment, as I have no idea what I'm doing. Unless it's about how I mispronounce things, because I know I do that and I try to correct it, but it's unfortunately going to keep happening until I learn how to pronounce ALL the words, haha.

( Under the cut: podfic for Dinosaur Comics, Doctor Who BFA, Journey to the West, Making Fiends, and Tintin. )

Awesome Things

2011-11-16T03:43:55Z

I meant to post about these last week, but I am still bad at actually posting.

Operator, Operator got recced last week, and aralias did a podfic of it as part of her cool calufrax podficcing thing. The link to the tindeck recording is a bit further down in that link, amongst some other really good podfics. I listened to A Family Affair this weekend, and it was great.

Also, cryforwhat_fic translated Operator, Operator into Chinese. I can't actually read Chinese, but it looks well done from what I can tell with my limited online translating tools. The translation also has a ton of hyperlink references in it, which is awesome. It explains all the ridiculously obscure jokes, like the Gladstone thing and the deal about Castellan Spandrell and his Czech accent.

( cut for slight nsfw text )

So last week was a good week! Now I just need to remember to get these links onto my various archive sites.
