Current fannish projects

[luzula]

My hands have been hurting a lot the past week, but I found myself a better dictation program! I thought I'd talk a bit about my current fannish projects. I guess you saw my recent podfic, which is a departure from what I've been recording recently. I do love all these historical British fandoms, but I felt like I was getting stuck in a groove, performance wise, and needed something different to shake me up. Mind you, the first chapters of Known Associates are also historical, although set in 1940s New York instead. I've really been enjoying reading it. I also have regshoe’s No Man Can Shun It completely recorded except for the songs at the beginning, which I just can't seem to get a good recording of. But maybe I'm too much of a perfectionist there.

When it comes to writing, I've got 20K of my Keith/Ewen/Alison fic, and it's coming along well. Probably it will be about 100K in total. But I got a new idea during the readalong, and it turned out regshoe had also got an idea based on the same premise. We decided that we would both write our stories, which seem quite different in some respects, and then exchange them for beta! So I'm excited for that. I've got 5K of the new fic so far. I think it will about, or less than, 20K, which is a short fic for me these days.

Hehe, your dictation software is learning—'liverworts' and 'fannish' :D

I don't think I've seen any of the Captain America movies, but queer 1940s history does sound like an interesting setting to explore!

I didn't know no man can shun it was your favorite flight of the Heron story! But it's certainly one of my favorites among your stories as well.

Oh good :) Yes, gloomy as it is, I was very pleased with how the ideas worked out.

I'm sorry for making you wait for my draft, given that my story will be longer than yours! But I promise to work steadily at it. : )

No worries—I've probably got a couple of weeks' work left to go, and then I think the story will benefit from being left to sit for a little while. And I've got plenty of other stuff to work on in the meantime!

Thanks, that's good to hear about the draft. And about no man can shun it, I don't think gloomy is the right word to describe it! Tragic, yes, but not gloomy. : )

Heh, fair enough :)
