I recorded a podfic!

Speranza's Learn Something New - link to the story on AO3.

Summary: "This isn't a vacation!" Rodney shouted. "This is about declassifying research that's going to change the course of physics!"

Notes: A favourite of mine. The urge to make a podfic suddenly came upon me, unfortunately when I hadn't completely gotten over a cold so my voice is even more nasal than usual. Sorry about that, but I didn't have the energy to re-record so I hope you can still enjoy it. Also apologies for the very bad singing :)
Thanks to like_cheap_wine for permission to use their art as a podfic cover, and to Speranza for blanket permission to transform works.

Rodney's Sonnet
Created for the Drawesome "inspired by poetry" challenge. This work follows my fanart in Dramatis Personae - in which Rodney's a playwright and John an actor in an Elizabethan company called the Atlantis Players. I wrote this sonnet a while back for the (still WIP) story in this series, so I figured I might as well post it, both for this challenge and for National Poetry month. Pen and ink, with watercolour shading.

It's a low-pressure challenge and posting runs from March to the end of June. There's also a prompt post. It's for any media - fic or podfic (min 1000 words), or art.

Highway to Nowhere (19093 words) by sgamadison
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence
Relationships: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard, Jennifer Keller/Rodney McKay
Characters: John Sheppard, Rodney McKay, Radek Zelenka, Jennifer Keller, Lyle Holland, OFC, Daniel Jackson, Oma Desala, Elizabeth Weir
Additional Tags: Stargate Atlantis AU: Vegas
Summary:

"One hundred and one days, and he reacts the same way each time. I wouldn't call that single-minded determination as much as a lack of imagination."

Bookmarker's Notes: There is something so very satisfying about this John Sheppard, who, upon waking up in an unfamiliar place, his first instinct is to run. Great use of the "bat out of hell" prompt, seamless transitions from one aspect of the story to the next, and a quiet, but ominous, tension builds as the story progresses.

Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
Characters: Teyla Emmagan, Ronon Dex, Rodney McKay, John Sheppard
Additional Tags: Sex Pollen, Cuddling & Snuggling, Masturbation, Humor, Mildly Dubious Consent
Summary:

Really though, sex pollen is as good an explanation as any.

Bookmarker's Notes: When John crawls into Rodney's tent one morning, Rodney figures sex pollen is as good an explanation as any. Fun use of the early bird prompt, with some nice snuggly sex and the resultant paperwork. Dub-con, low angst.

Summary:

Ronon celebrates his birthday, with a little help from his friends.

Bookmarker's Notes: Ronon's making up Satedan birthday traditions. I love how playful John and Ronon are with each other, but that they can be quiet and serious too. Also, Rodney and Teyla (and Ronon!) teasing John is almost too good. A warm and delightful story.

A failed experiment! I'm following this forum on Mastodon, and it followed me back immediately, but this post didn't show up over there. @mific do you think there's something in the channel permissions that's blocking the posts from going through to Mastodon?

Well, I'm baffled, unless a new post is needed to show it, as maybe it can't retrospectively alter where the post went. Here's a screenshot of the permissions I have ticked for "Default", which is what it's set to.

punk

Mon, 18 Feb 2019 19:16:14 -0600

I feel like "Can source my public posts in derived channels" is close to what we want (whatever it means), but of course it's already checked. I was looking at channel permissions and I'm personally set to "Social - Federation" but there's no equivalent of that for Forums, which is a little strange. I'm baffled, and the documentation isn't helping at all. I can't even guess if this is a Hubzilla or a Mastodon problem.

I made a new post each time you fiddled with something, so if the issue was fixed, the new post should have shown up on Mastodon, because, yes, it's not retroactive.

Now I'm poking at custom privacy settings and seeing what's in there.

Today's #SGA #rec gets a double bang, thus only posting to !!Stargate Fanworks:

paper cranes (upstairs, downstairs) (18960 words) by verity
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard, Dave Sheppard/Original Female Character

Summary:

"Oh my God," Rodney says, stricken. "This is—this is one of those British costume dramas Ronon always wants to watch and I'm the uncouth American!"

Bookmarker's Notes:

John goes back home for Dave's wedding and brings Rodney with him. I love this story. We get John's family through Rodney's eyes, Rodney trying to navigate through this privileged world he's unfamiliar with, wonderful moments between John and Rodney where John's off his game and Rodney's incredibly patient with him in his own Rodney way, and just, their relationship, slowly moving from best friends to the couple everybody already assumes they are. It's impeccably written with spot-on characterization and fantastic use of Sam.

The answer is yes. Also I edited my secret copy to add a category, and it showed up here as well, so these two posts are inextricably linked. So I guess the only reason to post solely to a forum is if you don't want to bother your followers with it. Because you (the poster) still end up with a copy.

Right! That's how I'd expect a community/forum to work--that the post only shows up there. The mechanism is just so much different on Hubzilla I wasn't sure what was going to happen. The nice thing is that even if you post to your channel and the forum, if your followers are subbed to both, they still only see the post once. (Or so I've heard.)

That's both odd and sort of awesome. You can find it more easily on your own homepage than on a busy forum if you have to make any edits, and you've got a copy right there of the comments. Hmm, and I wonder if a mod deleted the copy on the forum, you'd still have your copy - that would make sense with granular controls. So no one else can take your content away from you.

OTOH, if the ability to post via bang is going away, it could all be moot regardless. Unless posting to a forum's "wall" also creates a secret backup copy on your own channel, hm.

Amnesia recs

I was chatting about this recently over on DW, so I thought I'd post four medium to long fic recs here. I love them all - they come at amnesia from such different angles, and they're all great reads.

Unidentified by Fiercelydreamed where Rodney and John break up then Rodney turns up a while after with psychogenic amnesia - complete loss of his prior autobiographical memory, so he has to learn who he is/was from scratch. There are 3 fics - the main one, a future scene about Rodney's new life, and a sex scene coda.

Non-Linear System by Berty where Rodney's short-term memory is damaged in an Ancient tech-related disaster and John helps him find a way to live and cope even though sleeping each night resets his memory so he has to start every day afresh.

Forget Me Not by Maisierita - John & Rodney get captured off-world and kept as slave-workers with their past memories wiped by drugs. Rodney has higher status and John's assigned as his domestic servant.

Happy by Crysothemis - An ancient device makes Rodney lose his memory for anything causing him unhappiness, and suddenly he can't remember John.
