Fanmix: Roads That Never Found You

[boomwizard]

Medium: Television
Fandom: Warehouse 13
Subject: H.G./Myka
Format: All mp3. Ten tracks.
A/N: I told myself I'd make a much more positive mix for H.G./Myka to offset the horribly depressing one I made before, and I finally finished it. Slightly more Helena centric and heavily inspired by fewthistle's fic ' By The Pricking Of My Thumbs' and it's sequel ' A Kind

I'm waiting for the download to finish to listen. I love discovering new music and I find that fanmixes do provide me with a wealth of new artists and songs. When I was much younger, many years ago, I was a music junkie and lived for new music to find and devour. I fear that the passing years have slowed my appetite, but not killed it completely. I so look forward to how you see this relationship and what music inspires you with it.

You are so very kind. I cannot begin to tell you how deeply grateful I am to you for those compliments. I truly love this pairing and these stories have been a labor of love for me. I plan to keep writing them, perhaps even after everyone has tired of my tales. Helena is, to me, the perfect tragic heroine and I find myself so completely enmeshed in who she is and what her inner demons drive her to do. I'm so pleased that you feel my portrait of her is believable and real. And I couldn't honestly reconcile her as anything other than an adoptive mother, for all the reasons I listed. Glad it works for you!

Alas, I am woefully behind on this next chapter. I have about a third of it written, but this is the last week of the semester for me (I teach English) and it has been hectic and crazy and not very conducive to writing. Still, I will have it done by the end of the week and then just one more chapter after that one. (Don't worry, I already have the next in the series started in my head *g*).

Thank you again and now I am off to listen!! Yay! Will let you know which ones I love the most!

Cheers, dear!

The most important thing is not to rush it. Even if people are bugging you to update you can't force it out just to please them, I know the feeling. The muse comes calling whenever she likes and not a moment sooner.

I'm always looking for new music. I'm still in that "MORE MUSIC, MORE" phase and feel woefully inadequate compared to others and the size of their music libraries. I'm about 90 songs short of a thousand right now, and I especially need to find more music because nearly two hundred of those songs are already designated to all the fanmixes I've made.

I take a lot of characters at face value because I'm not a very deep thinker most of the time, but Helena really interests me. She's just so...tragic. The very definition of it. I'm not even one for angst, it is probably my most hated genre, but it's captivating how much she's suffered so far and how it changed her as a person. And I love when people delve into that so I can read their take on her life and innermost thoughts that we weren't privy to on the show.

I look forward to hearing your opinion on my song selections. I hope you like it!

Well, I finally got the chance to listen to this whole mix and I really adore it. In fact, I'm wondering if you would mind if I used your title for it, "Roads that Never Found You", from Broken Dreams and Secrets, as the title to the next in my HG/Myka series? I will be wrapping up A Kind of Blindness in the next two chapters and starting the sequel, and I always start with a title, one that is meaningful to me. I really adore that song and you have taken the best line of for this mix. So, would you mind if I use it? *g*

[boomwizard]

Not at all! I'd be rather humbled, actually. I'm very glad you like it.

I really do love the mix. I've been listening to it all evening and that one song...it is so completely what the next story is going to center on. And I'm the one humbled that you have found something in my stories to inspire you to make this mix. I'll be sure to credit and put a link to this in my opening. Thanks again for this and for allowing me to steal your title *g*.

Off to write some more. Next chapter up Sunday. Yay! ;)
