This and that

1) I watched the 2011 Jane Eyre movie last night with my mom, and I really liked it! I thought both Jane and Mr. Rochester were well cast--and okay, now I realize why there exists an XMFC/Jane Eyre fusion fic (I really recommend that fic, BTW). I liked Jane especially--she really worked for me. It was interesting to see Jamie Bell as St. John, although I did think they could've built up to his proposal a bit more.

2) I forgot to announce one of my podfics here: Just A Kiss, a Sherlock podfic which is a collaboration with six other podficcers that helens78 organized. Haven't listened to it yet, but I love recording 15 minutes and getting a two-hour podfic back. *g*

3) Speaking of podfic, until recently a podfic had the most hits on the AO3 of all my works during 2012! Granted, it's a podfic of a long fic by a popular author in a popular fandom, but still, this makes me want to put all my podfics up on the AO3 (the one I linked is a collaboration and was put up by a co-reader). But I've been holding out for separate media categories, because otherwise I'd have to go back and edit all those podfic posts when we do get them, and I have a lot of podfics. Hmmmm. *dithers*

4) I've read a fair amount of the dSSS fics, and I've made my way through the short and sweet stories in Madness, but I've barely made a dent in the main Yuletide archive. I won't offer rewards for guessing my Yuletide fic, because it's a former WIP that I've talked about a bit in my journal (but feel free to guess anyway!) I'd love to see if anyone can guess my due South holiday fic, though, and I offer a ficlet as a reward to the first one who guesses right (betas not included, of course). I don't think it should be that hard to guess.

Re AO3: I'd recommend going ahead and putting up your podfics on AO3 now, and make sure you tag them "podfic". When/if AO3 introduces the new media category, they may automatically place them in the new category for you, or at least it will be easy to find and edit them. It's not that hard to edit your items, especially just switching a category.

I'm planning to start listening to podfics when I'm exercising, and I want an easy way to find them! *g*

Hmm, yeah, but I'm assuming that when they make a new media category, they will also adjust the posting template for it? Like, a podfic posting template would naturally have a place for putting in the length of the podfic, and a place to link to the original text and author. So I'm thinking switching category would involve some more editing work than just ticking a box or something.

I have a very organized index if you want an easy way to browse my podfic, btw. : )
