December Meme

[crookedspoon]

Reading other people's December memes and theladyscribe's If you build it, they will come friending meme, convinced me to create one myself. (All the bandwagons! And just when I wanted to stop posting to this journal, too. Hah.)

Stolen from everywhere...

Pick a date in December and give me something to talk about. TV, books, movies, fandom, writing, science, publishing, food, travel, fictional characters and all of their feelings, cuddly animals, whatever.

Here's my friending meme entry, in case you need fandom direction. :)

Also stolen from a few people.
-You don't have to be following me or ever have commented to request a topic.

That is SO good to know! :D Maybe that'll get me off my ass to create more, knowing that there will be an audience! (That is, if you can stand my voice/reading style, which is totally okay if you don't ;)) I've just started this year, but didn't manage to create a podfic a month as I wanted to, because, you know, life. And right now, I'm struggling with Motivation. Very Hard. And right now, I'm tryin to find a short Ghibli or MCU or DC Comics (Robin-centric) ficlet, because I promised it to someone as a reward for posting something to 31_days. But not finding anything I like is putting me right off it. Poo. xD

Oh, you can totally go several times, that's no problem. I'll put you down on the first then. ;)

[endeni]

OMG, you totally should! Also, I can lend you my graphic ability to create pretty (well, to the best of my abilities anyhow) podcovers if you're interested, I looove making podcovers. :)
Oh, what kind of ficlet did you have in mind? I read looots and looots of stuff, maybe I can help you out with that! Yay, let's try to kick this Motivation business in the butt. ;)

[crookedspoon]

REALLY? OMG That would be so awesome! I'm not very good with graphics. The only podcover I really liked was that for Dégustation (an E-rated Hannibal/Mycroft story). If you're interested, I could use a podcover for Chaff that the Wind Blows Away, a G-rated story about John and his relationship with this family and God. :D I've been holding off offering it for download, because I haven't yet managed to create a cover and auphonic gives you only 2h a month...

AND I'm still planning to create a podfic for a Sherlock/Greek Mythology behemoth that still needs a cover ;)

As for the ficlet, something G to T-rated perhaps, under 800 words (because my giftee wrote 790 xD). I checked out Totoro, Spirited Away, Mononoke-hime and Whisper of the Heart already. But, since I still have to write a Tony-centric drabble for someone, why not podfic him too? My giftee likes slice-of-lifey things. I'm sure there must be lots of that in the MCU fandom :)

You're such a treasure, thank you so much for offering all that! :D

[endeni]

Oh, yes, that's indeed a delightful podcover!! Oh, I'll be going through/enjoying your back-catalog then and then I'll see about supplying you with that podcover! *nods*
Sherlock/Greek Mythology! So cool! I can see about that one too if you want. Do you have a fic link?
I see, under 800 words Tony-centric slice-of-lifey things. Yes, I can probably find something appropriate, let me comb my bookmarks...

OMG, are you kidding, this is so much fun! (I'm so excited! *g*)

[crookedspoon]

Thank you! (It might just be a bit misleading though, because the fic is rather dark xD) I'm so excited to see what you come up with :D

It's Till We Have Cases. Delightfully funny and with such an abundance of detail! And I'd love it if you'd want to create a podcover! The author has created a nice bookcover, but of course that doesn't have the right dimensions.

In that case, we're both happy then :D

[endeni]

Oh, really? Do you have a link? Maybe it can be adapted in some way... (With permission of course.)

[crookedspoon]

Here it is. I really like the font. I have a similar one that I'd have wanted to use. ;)

[endeni]

Oh, yes, I see what you mean, that can't be really cut. *nods* But I can certainly use a similar font. What's the name of the one you have?

[crookedspoon]

So, I checked my old laptop, and it's called Diogenes. I got it from dafont.com :)

[endeni]

Cool, thank you!
