Snowflake Challenge day 1

• Transformative Works Policy: [what is it, where is it posted]


I'm not sure I have anything as grand as a policy, but on Ao3 I do say "If anything I write makes you want to write or draw your own stuff, feel free. Likewise if you'd like to include it in a podcast or podfic it. I would be completely flattered and would love to hear about it."


• Current Passion [not necessarily fandom or fannish, but anything that takes up your time and thoughts - e.g. knitting, interpretive dance, meta about a movie that doesn't exist, or you know, one that does]


My blorbo of the moment is Jin Guangyao, and I am gnawing my way through every fic on Ao3 that contains him like the very hungry caterpillar through a leaf. (Skipping the ones in which he is a moustache twirling villain.) Then I'm podficcing my favourites.

Having had a professional writing career and burning out, I'm now trying to retrain as a signwriter, so that's something I try to practice every day. I'm also trying to learn to play the melodeon. And in my spare spare time I can be found morris dancing. This year I imagine there will also be a lot of narrowboat-fettling as I try to help my son make his boat livable.


• Where to Find Me: [what platform do you use the most, or what platform do you use for different purposes?]


I use Tumblr when I just want to scroll through pretty things and rest my brain, Dreamwidth when I want to actually interact with people, and Mastodon mainly because I like the idea of decentralized internet, but I've not really connected with it.


• Master List: [for fic, for art, for recs, or anything else]


Fic and podfic are on Ao3
For everything else, I have a Website Of My Own at Galadhir's Home On The Net

• Anything Else: [anything else you'd like to include]

Happy New Year to everyone. Here's hoping this year will be better than last :)

Yeah okay he does at least have an excuse for NMJ that is kinda understandable, even if the way he went about it is horrible and unnecessary. If he'd only sooner given up on wanting his father's love, all would have been so nice for him. T_T

Yes guqin-and-flute is deriliarch on AO3, I couldn't remember their AO3 pseud because it's so removed from tumblr. XD I first read some of the snippets on tumblr and it's very enjoyable! Also, a rather unconventional pairing, which is also intriguing!

Oh it's nice to have that confusion cleared up! I was just about to go hunting for the Guqin-and-flute version of the story on Ao3 and that would only have lead to disappointment. Thanks!

For such an unconventional pairing it's surprising how well it might work! I think I'm going to podfic that series - if guqin-and-flute doesn't mind - after I've finished the one I'm doing at the moment.

I have to check if it's actually finished by now; I saw the tumblr fics and then they were cleaned up for AO3 and I lost kind of track of it. XD
Oh I'm sure they'd be happy about it! :D

[galadhir]

It would be great if they were still writing it! (Maybe having someone start podficcing the series will inspire them to do some more ;) We can but hope :) )
