I’ve already not failed out of kink bingo this time, as I‘ve covered the ‘at least one fanwork’ proviso, but I’d like to be very un-me like and get an actual bingo. Which leaves me with exposure/exhibitionism, wildcard, and bondage (wrist/ankle restraints) to fill before the 31st.

And no ideas! Well, for the wildcard thing there’s an Erlking/Harry/Bob fic that’s been languishing in my gdocs foreeeeeeeeeever and is a bit of a kinkfest, but I think it might take me too long to knock into shape.

Bondage? Nothing is jumping into my mind as wanting to be written. Erm. Erm. Hogwarts verse future fic? My vague mental map of that verse has Harry and John taking a gap year after they finish school and being pretty adventurous with their magic and sex lives. Not sure I could argue that as a standalone fic, but possibly. Or something with Kincaid, because I’m pretty sure Murphy ties him up but has to go through a series of restraints to find something he doesn’t just slip to show that he can.

Exposure/exhibitionism... should be easy, as Harry-is-an-exhibitionist is a fanon I endorse hard, and yet. I have nothing. ...Harry meets Thor or someone in a bar and they party in style? I’m always up for gratuitous Norse characters.

Ack. *hands*

Fic! And podfic! Tasty, tasty podfic!

This was fun to write, and even more fun to listen to :-) As part of Podtogether 2012, I’ve written a fic for Binz to podfic, and Binz and Shiplizard have written a fic for me to podfic. Podficcing is a pretty new arena for me, and listening to Binz read is alllllll kinds of cool. Go, download, enjoy! Binz is listed as an author on the AO3, so she’ll get notifications for any podfic feedback you’d like to leave :-)

Fic and Podfic at AO3

This post is me wittering on about my fic. About posting, writing, prompts, commenting, kink memes and kink bingo. Mostly Dresden Files with a pit stop for the Mentalist:

I hate posting fic. Not in a will people like this/will they comment kind of way, but in a copypasting/remember the headings/is this too long for the character limit/where do I put a chapter break/remember to link to all the chapters/have I done the cut-tag right/what the hell size font is this/oh crap tags kind of way. Essentially, it’s fiddly, and I’m a deeply lazy person with a fundamental objection to the kind of careful checking I need to do to make sure I don’t cock everything up. And sometimes I cock it up anyway :-D

I’ve been wondering if posting to the AO3 instead would solve some of this fussing (I’ve never tried it, but if it’s set up by fans specifically for the purpose of posting fic, it MUST be more user friendly). But I have a sneaking suspicion that people comment less there? (And I’m a shameless comment whore, regardless of content. Seriously, you can just be pointing out I’ve abused punctuation and I’ll light up.) I may be entirely misguided in that assumption though. But the kind of commenting I like, that can segue off topic into fannish squee about something completely irrelevant, I kind of feel I shouldn’t indulge in that there. Because it isn’t a blogging forum, it’s an archive for stories and feedback on those stories. I think. Perhaps people do use it in this way and I just haven’t hung out there enough to notice.

I shall continue in my pondering.

Ficcishness

My Redjohnloves you fic seems to actually be done on time. Which is a little, well, scary to be honest. I’m amused that I wrote for the prompt that I took one look at and thought “can’t do that”. Except I kept coming back to the idea. And poking it. And then somehow it got written.
