WIP Amnesty #1

[niko]

I've been poking around my hard drive for things that merit being posted for wip_amnesty  week, and while I've got a ton of WIPs that will never go anywhere, most of them are more sort of stream-of-conscious overviews than actual attempts at fic, so there's not much in a postable state this time around.

I did come across a couple things, though.  
 

First up: About 90 seconds of Ken-centric Weiss Kreuz music video, set to "Losing My Religion".  It's been sitting on my hard drive for *SIX* years.  I feel so old.  :(

This was my first (and only) attempt at vidding, so it was never going to be all that great, but I still like the concept and think it could make a good vid.  There are a lot of bits in the song that just speak to Ken's arc for me - the loss of innocence ('losing my religion') and the way he latches onto Aya ('trying to keep up with you') while Aya's always slightly ahead of him on the curve.

I wanted the second verse to segue into Gluhen - there are some really obvious clips to pull in there - but I was afraid that the shift in character designs would make it unworkable and I didn't have a backup plan to fill the rest of the video if that didn't work, so I kept putting it off.  (If the proof-of-concept had worked out, I also would have gotten a clean rip of the videos to get rid of the fansubs that clutter up the current vid.  ^_^ )

Oh, speaking of WIP's, I was re-reading Jazz Memory recently...

Have you ever posted the earlier story that you mentioned it's a continuation of?

And actually, while I'm here, how do you feel about podfic of your stories? For some reason, reading for anime/manga fandoms feels more daunting than live-action TV, but I definitely want to get more Weiss podfic out there at some point. :)

I have not. It's a rather long story and I wanted to finish it before putting it up, but I hit a rather discouraging moment and didn't finish it (although I don't want to give up on it, I'm clingy that way). After I get through my current class, I should have another look at some of my WIPs.


I am very flattered that you should ask about my stories and don't mind them being recorded. Although if any are done, I'll probably want to hear them so I can giggle self-consciously. XD

Yay! Thank you! :) I'll definitely run it by you when it's done. It doesn't feel right posting without giving the author a chance to yell at me about anything that's too cringeworthy. I'm guessing I'm going to sound painfully cheezy trying to read certain Japanese and/or German words naturally.

And LOL about the WIP. Fingers crossed that it works out at some point. It sounds interesting, assuming it's the incident that Crawford references in Jazz Memory. :)
