One) International Porning Day for Podfic. Make podfic. Sexually explicit. As many languages as possible. (via rivkat) You always have permission to make fanworks of my fanwork, so if you want to podcast my podfic as written, you may. If you want to translate my fic to another language and podfic that, you may. If you want to write fanfic of my fic in another language, do that, too. I would love a link, but it's not required.

Some) Speaking of podfic of my fic: bessyboo performed a podfic of Get Next To You, my Fastlane story. Fastlane, man, good times. (*obligatory Fox hatred*)

Lots) Also, that charmax vid everyone was linking around and going on and on and on about how awesome it is? Space Girl actually is pretty awesome. Isn't that always the way?

Poll context:

the Melee (people being able to do remixes without signing up or volunteering for their story to be remixed.) was part of the remixduello.

The reason for running remixduello in the first place is to have a remix challenge with restraint, where the story you are to remix was picked for you, as an extra special remix challenge. (Also, to let you pick exactly which story got remixed, to say, "I want to see where someone takes that story.") The Melee got rid of both of those aspects of the challenge. I think a little bit of that could be restored if I reorganized it so that people could nominate stories as Melee prompts, but only one per fandom. Would that still be of interest to people?

somnolentblue has some more on the LJ/Facebook/Twitter grrr.

dancesontrains points out that the newly for sale LJ userheads feature ethnic stereotyping but not actually ethnically colored userheads (they've got blue though!) and not enough lady shapes.

Marie Brennan's business essays. jimhines linked to her because she spoke about the business of publishing her first novel; I'm planning to read it over later.

The Circus of Brass and Bone After the collapse of civilization, the show goes on.... (A pay-what-you-can online serial story by Abra SW. All proceeds go to her mother's cancer treatment.) Post-apocalyptic circus serial, in text and podbook form. I haven't read or listened to any yet, may this weekend. Audiofiction is awesome for crocheting to.

why is it that we’re all so freaking concerned with how to handle a call out? It's a comment on a post about a discussion in social justice blogging about calling out possibly triggering the person being called out on whatever (I think.) I got linked to the comment, which leaves me thoughtful. Haven't really followed links about the wider conversation.

yvi has posted the Buy-a-bug fundraiser: Claiming post!

I will not be participating in vampirebigbang, but maybe you will.

I will be participating in month_of_june, which is a ficathon for June of White Collar. Hopefully, you will, too!

I got my Remix Redux assignment. (Sadly, my immediate reaction was WTF was I thinking in picking this fandom, but I am in something of a funk lately, and perhaps all things fannish will not be hateful to me come the weekend.)

My Dreamwidth anniversary passed unremarked in February.

It is time to go put my clean underwear in the dryer. Today, I was down to wearing one of two thongs, as far as underwear goes. You guys, I have so much underwear (not as much as some people, but a lot.) It's really horrible when I run out and I hate it.

Also, my neck hurts.

Also, the booktape I have been listening to lately consistently mispronounces Siobhan. Which makes me want to die inside, every time.

Also, phi recorded podfic of A Pon Farr Tale. Yay! (I am still offering DW credits for reading fic by me or by ltlj.)

Ladies' First, the challenge for stories about a woman's first time, will theoretically close tomorrow.

If no one else posts to it, I think I may move Bee Prepared to Ladies' Choice and delete the whole challenge.

If someone posts to it, maybe I'll just leave it open forever.

Thinky thinky thinky.

Also, amplificathon 2010 has started up. As always, everyone has blanket permission to podfic any fanfiction by zvi.

And you have until tomorrow to register for Remix...Redux. (Which means you also have until tomorrow to finish dark_agenda's pre-remix drabble challenge.)

Also also, ladiesbigbang is still about to open for either signing up or just participating. It even accepts original work. D:

monkeysee_feed: The Monkey See blog is basically NPR's answer to EW's Popwatch. They often feature a slightly longer form, and they have a morning round up pointing you to interesting notes around the web. I like it, and I've been particularly enjoying the last few days' American Idol coverage. (They also have plenty of Olympics coverage, for those of you enjoying the Games.)

white_collar: Comprehensive weekly round up of White Collar fanworks which covers not only Dreamwidth and AO3, but also Fanfiction.net and some LiveJournal comms. This comm would also welcome discussion, if people were having it. Go talk about the show there. (Perhaps I should post a June/Neal manifesto "Whatever Happened to Class"?)

podficmeta: Thinky thoughts about podfic. We talk about what people have done while reading/performing fanfiction stories, what we wish they would do, and what we wish they'd stop doing. (Coincidentally, this is the comm that makes clear to me why scheduled posting would be awesome. I try to post to this comm every three or four days, but sometimes I get distracted and forget. Other times, I think of three or four questions to raise, but I want to hold onto ideas for future discussions.)

cakewrecks_feed: The act of paying someone to create a beautiful cake will not necessarily result in the receipt of a beautiful cake, and Cakewrecks lovingly details all the many, many ways the baker can screw it up. However, on Sundays, as a palate cleanser, they show a collection of amazing (in a good way!) cakes, either professional or amateur. It's epicaric humor, but without the harsh (embarrassment squick inducing) bite that so many epicaric humor sites have.
