I have been going through a phase of "not having my shit together" for... four (!) months now.  My LJ/DW-reading backlog is humongous, but I do have two things that I've needed to get posted for about ever now.

So, #1:  Podfic!  :)

Jojo's "Strange Bedfellows" is posted HERE.

Hey, missed you round the parish, hon. Hope you're doing OK.

And SQUEEEE! Thank you SO much for all your hard work on this! I adore podfic and to *be* podficced in Mag7 is really very thrilling indeed. Can't wait to give the final version a listen :D

*hugs you a LOT*

Hey... heh, yeah, about that final version, this is actually kinda still the first version. That's been part of the delay, as my recording stuff got packed and I've been staying with the folks until I get a place. Trying to do the fixes at my parents' house is both awkward and impossible to get the noise-levels to synch. I gave it a listen after being away from it for a while and finally decided none of the fixes I'd been trying to make were showstoppers. :P

(I owe you lots of LOC's, too. I've been saving a lot off to the Kindle, but not sitting down and actually *reading* it.)

*hugs back* :) I was thinking of you when the Egypt stuff went down. I'm glad everything worked out ok...

hey, I loved the first version so that's cool :D

did you ever sell your house??

and I just noticed you posted some Deeeean... *runs off to look closer*

(And yeah, I did sell the house back in October. The house-hunting side of things is proving a little stressful, but I'll probably survive. :) )

I am so very, very happy to see you've managed to record this! Podfic artists should get heaps of love for what they do. *saves the podfic and cherishes it for the story and the performance*

I thought of you recently, reading up on some posts on podficmeta. I hope you're doing fine.

Hi! :) Good to "see" you. :) Yeah, that recent meta post is what got me quit dithering and post this already. Podfic solidarity or somesuch. *g*

"Strange Bedfellows" is the fic you were working on a graphic for, isn't it? Any progress on that?

[dj-aida.livejournal.com]

Podfic deserves some solidarity! It is one of the best things I discovered in fandom, and if I were a writer, I'd give permission to podfic artists to interpret my stories however they want. I'm already fine with people using my fanart as basis for theirs.

Yes, it is. :) :is sheepish: I want to do traditional art for it, watercolor. Trouble is, I haven't done any drawing and painting in years, and with our department going down from five people to three and the number of students we teach to 250, and my postgrad on top of that, the only way I can practice enough to actually create it is to forgo sleeping completely. o_O

I have some sketches, and I'm trying out some color schemes for the surroundings, but it's the human body that's giving me most trouble. I will get there eventually, but it will take some time.
