summer is truly over [DVD commentary (idyll); Tam Lin fic: Wakening from the Dreaming Forest There]
For 'lo, I have posted both of the fandom commitments I took on over the summer, both due today.
For the dvd_commentary challenge, I babbled a lot about idyll's incredible Not a Pretty Girl series. Here is a link to the first part of the commentary. As I've mentioned before, this is one fic that I would highly recommend to anyone, regardless of their level of interest in or aversion to bandom and/or My Chemical Romance and/or Bob Bryar (though, it's hard to imagine someone with an aversion to Bob Bryar!) and/or genderswap. It's mostly gen, and completely, utterly, astonishingly brilliant.
For femgenficathon IV, I wrote Waking from the Dreaming Forest There, an exploration in 1600 words of one possible version of Peg Powell's story as it runs parallel and a little offset to Janet's in Pamela Dean's Tam Lin.
Title: Wakening from the Dreaming Forest There
Author: athenejen
Fandom: Pamela Dean - Tam Lin
Rating: PG
Word count: ~1600.
Warnings: None.
Disclaimer: Not mine, alas.
Prompt: 92) Nine-tenths of our suffering is caused by others not thinking so much of us as we think they ought. -- Mary Lyon. Interestingly, the essence of the story turned out to be the exact opposite of this sentiment, in a way.
Summary: In which Peg is pursued, and decides.
Author’s Notes: Enormous thanks to farwing for her super-speedy, helpful beta, and to gehayi for organizing this round of femgenficathon. The title is from the poem “Lost in the Forest,” by Pablo Neruda. The concept of this fic was very loosely inspired by the stories of Daphne and Metis from Greek mythology. It is one possible version of Peg Powell’s story, and may not make much sense if you haven’t read the book. The style and structure are both a bit experimental; all feedback and constructive criticism is welcomed and cherished.
