This is so funny oh my god. Can you imagine seeking out a podcast about fanfics and being offended - not by omegaverse or mpreg or catboys or oviposition or any of the other million fic things that are wild - but by "AFAB"

Hey folks! I'm posting this here so I don't have to talk about it in a podfic (which would make the podfic in question unrelistenable) and so I don't leave folks with questions. I had to say goodbye to one of my dogs last week - the noisy one, so you will prob notice his absence.

I love randomly finding my friend from fandom A in fandom B. bestie I didn't know you were gonna be at the OTHER devil's sacrament too!!!

This was such a delightful read, thank you for bidding and for picking it!

Last crosspost - here's my pitch for authors to have a permission statement in their AO3 bio! I'm sure that some folks still don't know about permission statements & I want to invite people to have one even if it's not for blanket permission. Writers, please share! www.tumblr.com/keriarentika...

Can you imagine how much podfic I would produce if I didn't have to spend roughly equal amounts of time recording and waiting for my dog to stop his gross noises

Ok. I just gotta work hard this week, and then I will be freeeeeeeeeee

Do you ever have a random moment of clarity and think, "oh, I'm being WEIRD today." And then realize you should really stop communicating with the outside world until that's over And then immediately post about it

My dogs are gross so I washed their paws and now they have to chill on the floor because, even with the dogs-are-gross extra blankets, they are not getting on the bed with damp paws. And you would think I am TORTURING them. The pained whines! The mournful yelps!

Finished!! [Coldread of] "Welcome To Gusu" by Perkynurples - 18.5 hours of Campsite shenanigans and Pining 🏕️🌲😔😍🌧️ archiveofourown.org/works/638370...

I am an... extremely evidence-based science kind of person, maybe to an extreme. But that means when I do think something is bad/good for people, I want to tell folks. But of course EVERYONE thinks they're right and have evidence, and I don't enjoy others giving ME unsolicited advice!

Just fell for a new fandom, and joined some new exchanges and fests, and it's been GREAT! ...except I notice while these events usually accept fic/fanart, not many include podfics. So as a podficcer I wanna tell YOU, my fellow fan and future event mod, why you should include podfics in your event!

So now I'm at the phase where, like, I have time to podfic. I may even have the energy to podfic! But at any second I might NOT again, and what's the point in starting now if I'm just gonna stop again? I'll be able to start and for sure keep going soon! Haven't decided yet if this is irrational

Hey, remember how for a minute in the 90s we were all singing about how everyone needs a busom for a pillow? Good times

Sometimes I'm doing a thing ho hum and then it's like, wait, this is prob related to some kind of condition??? Um or maybe everyone has insomnia due to a feeling in one's arms that I am somehow convinced will be solved by pushups?

I am feeling VERY sorry for myself, I can admit it. There's a light at the end of the tunnel in, uh.... a week and a half? Maybe?

LEARN TO KNIT YOU FUCKING COWARDS

Anyway I am swamped with work and feeling a bit disconnected from everything. I'd say AMA but I feel like I'm such an open book (about non-doxxing things) already! Hopefully at some point today I will find the ideal level of distractiom and focus

I'm starting to worry (with no evidence - yes I will see a doctor when my schedule clears up) that my cough is acid reflux. Things that make it worse are my favorite things in life: lying down, chocolate, mint, garlic, ibuprofen. Add fanfic to that, why don't you, and my life will be truly empty

Extremely rude that I have Things To Do. But everything is fine and next podfic chapters will be soon, I promise!

Extremely rude that all of a sudden I feel like I literally don't have enough time tonight to do all the things I need/want to do, and my response was to take a bath about it.

"the exploration of a courageous heart (all this unexpected glory)" Stratisphyre's JYL/LXC/NMJ (and Lettersalad? background Wangxian I think? It's an ice cold read)! I've been meaning to do this since it was published and even just the first chapter had me squeeing and gasping. Art by jennisaisquoi!

This is genuinely one of my favorite fics

Two separate people tonight thanked me for being so pleasant. I'm not sure how I feel about that. To be clear, this was not, like, at a customer service job. This was at a family function.

Me at 7:30 am - I have a huge to do list and a whole day to do it! I'll get started so soon!!! Me at 8:15 am - I haven't started anything and I want to lie down and the day is basically already over, I have failed, better just nap

9 pm is the most dangerous time because I can't fall asleep quite yet, but starting anything means I will miss my appropriate bedtime

Obviously I respect everyone's right to do what they want with their own bodies but WHY are The Youth bleaching their eyebrows???

Ah, St Patrick's Day. The one day a year when having green hair gives off a completely different vibe

Truly unreasonable that a new Monday is released EVERY single week.

So excited to listen to this!!!

Instructions for the neck massager my mom got me for my birthday. That's a fun autotranslation whoopsie!

Today I am feeling deeply whiny about the list of things that need to get done before Monday. I'm gonna need to mentally reframe for positivity roughly every 45 min, I think

I generally don't want to talk about politics on here but, as a Canadian, a lot of my mind is currently occupied with how fucking BONKERS it is that the head of state of our neighboring country is genuinely talking about annexing us by force.

Well, it's morning! Work has gotten unexpectedly extra stressful and I am just not feeling the drive I would need to deal with that properly. I'm gonna finish Thicker Than Water tonight and I might take a little podfic break after. Hopefully not for more than a couple of days?

I am just not built for having 8 items on my to do list on a Sunday

Chapter 5 up now!!!

I'm still telling myself that because the section I'm gonna read is so short that I will be able to do it tonight! My dog will definitely stop licking in the next 3 minutes!!!!

Folks, kealdrakemna took the scene in chapter 3 that was begging for effects and gave it effects!!! Chapter 3, Kealdra's Version, is now available as an alternate file on ao3! archiveofourown.org/works/634594...

Okay, my extracurricular task is now complete, and I should be back to posting tomorrow! I never wanna make any guarantees in March and April but I THINK I should be okay to post regularly for the next few weeks?

I try to keep politics out of my social media, and for the most part out of my writing. But we live in a world that’s seeing falling engagement with traditional media and fact checking. So here we go: Canadians are angry. We are worried.

Today I am randomly thinking about "In Imitation of Life" by travelingneuritis and the tag "BDE (big devotion energy)". It's *chef's kiss*. LWJ is just immediately a total simp for WWX and I love it so much. Podfic: archiveofourown.org/works/49277173 Fic: archiveofourown.org/works/43052169

I didn't podfic last night because I got distracted by starting a new Stardew Valley game with SIXTY mods running. I can't believe it hasn't broken yet. How many more can I add Also I will podfic tonight! I have another thing I have to do in the evening but I'm in an irresponsible phase apparently

I'm so used to my life constantly being a countdown to the next phase that I have trouble even conceptualizing how to live without it. Anyway, 12 more days (over the next 6 weeks) until this part is over. I can manage 12 more days.

I've got so used to making cover art for my podfic, why not a banner for my fic? Chapter 2 now posted. #WangXian

One might think that forswearing relationships, at least a little bit so I'd never have to share a bed again, would mean that I'd get to enjoy a whole existence free from being kept up by snoring. But I did not account for my 5 lb Maltese. So little Such big snores

Bidding closes at 8 pm EST tonight. I have a bidder (so excited to work with @mossymage.bsky.social!!!), but I am willing to record TWO podfics. So if you are feeling down and want to give back to amazing organizations that support marginalized communities, bid on me and I'll work with you as well!

Bidding on the Fandom Trumps Hate auction ends in 33 hours! (8 pm Sat Eastern time) There are so many cool writers and artists and podficcers participating, it's very cool to be part of of it. You can find all the listings for MDZS podfic here: fth2025offerings.dreamwidth.org/tag/fandom:+...
