This and that

Signal boost: concrit_x is running again in July! I did this last year and thought it was fun: you get assigned two writers to give concrit, and get concrit from two people. Definitely going to do it again.

As thanks for a donation for an abortion fund, chestnut_pod has recorded a a podfic of A Woman of Anarres, a snippet of The Dispossessed fic I wrote for Yuletide. I enjoyed it a lot, including her headcanon that Pravic has rolling r:s.

I have finally made my way onto Discord, and am currently dipping my toes in the bookbinding discord (wow, it's huge, and I am intimidated!) and also a small and friendly Age of Sail one where sanguinity has made a Flight of the Heron channel. It's lovely to get to get some more interaction in my small fandom, and fun to see new people discovering the book.

I'm at 47K with my current longfic, and have just posted the second chapter on AO3! But I think I should take a little break with that one soon and write something which regshoe can enjoy during my upcoming trip. regshoe, you can choose between 1) an epilogue to the "That Good Faith" series, with Keith and Ewen in their sixties, or 2) Ewen as a student in Paris, being seduced by French aristocrats. Or actually the second one would probably benefit from visiting Versailles first, so I should wait with that one...sorry, I guess I didn't leave you much choice!

I love that Discord provides a meeting place for both 21st and 18th century.

Discord is far more congenial to me than Tumblr or Twitter would be, I think. But of course Dreamwidth is my favorite. *clings to it*

I love the thought of The Bookbinding Discord!

I've known of it for a long time, but the first time I tried to sign up for Discord, they asked for my phone number and then wouldn't accept it when they got it. This time, they didn't ask for it! Weird.

concrit_x! I was thinking of doing that this year—I may sign up, if I have time.

Oh, how good of you to switch to writing something I can enjoy during the trip—really, thank you <3 And that's no problem at all, as I'd have chosen the first one anyway—I'd love to see your take on Ewen and Keith growing old together. :)

If you do sign up, I’ll tell them not to match us, since we already beta read for each other. : ) Much better to get feedback from new people…

And I thought it might be fun to do some live beta reading on the trip! I did think you would prefer that story anyway. *g* Also, you can also help me with that ballad I never finished, the Bonnie House of Ardroy one.
