Ok, Shen Wei! Ready to learn how to email?

Fanart: A comic based onfrith_in_thorns fic! Iconic show moments, illustrated. The lines and coloring in this are so soft. Tiny Weilan with big ears is giving me life. Chibi snuggles.
Mmm, yes, badass Shen Wei.

A thread about Fatal Journey which I haven't seen yet--any tips on where I can watch it w/o a subscription service?
Guess it was just a dry spell on Twitter bc my timeline yesterday and this morning were packed, as you can see.
I went outside yesterday, not far, just to the sidewalk in front of the house, and it felt wrong. Not illegal wrong, but unsettling in a very personal and internal way. I didn't care for it at all. Which means I need to go on a walk today. I've stayed nearly 100% indoors since the 15th and while I don't consciously mind it at all, my psyche is obviously building some things in there that I don't care for. So I guess I gotta venture outdoors. If it wasn't raining, I'd go right now since it's unlikely that many others will be out for their constitutionals at 7:30am.
Did I mention my county is under Stay At Home orders until April 23? Did I mention thatapparently the cops can stop you if they think you're not running an essential errand? The fact that they can't demand ID/papers (yet) is hardly comforting. I get the idea, okay, Americans Humans American Humans are fucking idiots, but fuck the police, y'all. I don't trust slippery slopes at all. ETA: I'm extra thrilled to be able to tell SOMEONE that he had bad information on this. \o/
Posted the second to last chapter of Ghost Story this morning. Ahhhhhh! I'm behind in writing the DVD commentary, which I'd like to post sometime the week after the final chapter. So many things to write! Today I might finish the car wash outfit porn. Which has a title lurking in my brain somewhere--hope it pops up sooner rather than later. And I finally figured out the logistics of how I want to write the rest of Deconstruction, which is a great relief. I hadn't touched it since the 22nd and that was making me sad.
I'm having a difficult time finding escape in reading right now. I just can't immerse myself in a fic, especially short ones. Very frustrating. I worry that my brain is becoming too overwhelmed by The State of the World and Current Circumstances. I was able to do it with All-Consuming, so I hope it's just I need something long to really sink into. Very much looking forward to binging Carte Blanche.
Okay, well, I have hot tea and a cat next to me on the couch so I guess it's time to start writing something.

I've actually considered recording Ghost Story... tbh it's more the learning (and buying) new tech that's the deterrent than the time/sanity commitment to recording a long fic. Also I'd need to do some sort of ~effect~ for Shen Wei's dialogue since I don't feel like inserting "he typed" or whatever.

There are so many talented podficcers in our community that if you do feel like making this a project and want help with ideas for effects and things they could totally help! I know there's a podficcing Discord, plus comms here on Dreamwidth and people on Twitter. (I am no help because I am still a total newbie and have never added effects to anything. I am also not on Discord.)

I mean, I love audio books & podcasts, so I was coming at it from that angle, but I still prefer to read my fic (because I want to write feedback as I go along!). But! Imagine if everyone just recorded fic and posted it in audio format! Then some people transcribed a tiny bit of it - you'd be so happy those transcriptions existed so you could enjoy stories the way you're most comfortable with, even if those doing the transcription weren't into reading textfic themselves.
So I basically record it not because it's what I want the most, but because I know there are people who either prefer to listen to podfic, or who like being able to choose which version of a fic to read/listen to depending on what they've got going on, and I want them to have more fic available. ♥ (Full credit to
That said, I think it helps to read up on tips and listening to your own recordings so you know what can be improved as you're starting out. (If you're not comfortable listening back to your recordings I know you can find people to beta for you - like, "there's a repeated line at 5:21" or "there's static at the beginning".) (I don't always listen back to what I've recorded because that's time I can't spend recording more fic. Obviously if it's someone else's story I want to make sure I've got it right, but for my own stuff I'm relying on people to tell me if there's anything they want fixed.)
