Morning! (It's not yet 7am, I am calling it morning and you'll like it.)
Today's post is all about the creation of the flashpodficlet (and inevitably, the creation of the flashficlet) Flour, Butter, Eggs (OUaT, circa S1, Mary Margaret, Emma, Ruby, and baking, read and f/f/f if you please or not if you don't)
somnolentblue and I put this post together earlier in the week and spent a lot of time laughing at ourselves and going "OH YEAH, that's what happened."
So here’s how this whole thing started: Blue was catching up on OUaT (back in its first season) and we were both having allll the cranky feelings about David, because curse!David, okay? I don’t need to say more. Here’s, roughly, the email thread:
Blue: I WANT ALL THE RUBY, MARY MARGARET, AND EMMA SHENANIGANS EVER, YES YES I DO
...
Cantarina: RIGHT? RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT?
WRITE IT FOR US, BB! I'LL RECORD IT FOR PORTABILITY!
Blue: IT WOULD BE SUPER AWESOME! RUBY AND EMMA WOULD BE ALL SNARKY TOGETHER AND MARY MARGARET WOULD MAKE TEA AND OCCASIONALLY COME OUT WITH THESE ONE LINERS THAT CRACKED EVERYONE UP BECAUSE THEY JUST DON'T EXPECT IT FROM HER, EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW BETTER. AND OCCASIONALLY RUBY WOULD INSTIGATE AND THEY'D GET DRESSED UP IN SLINKY CLOTHES AND GO OUT TO A MARTINI BAR AND IGNORE ALL THE MEN HITTING ON THEM (ALTHOUGH THEY'D APPRECIATE THE FREE DRINKS). EMMA WOULD TRY TO BAKE A BIRTHDAY CAKE AND IT WOULD KIND OF EXPLODE IN TERRIBLE TERRIBLE WAYS AND THEN THEY'D DRINK WINE TOGETHER IN THE AFTERMATH (THE FIRST PERSON TO WAKE UP WOULD BE STUCK DEALING WITH IT, WHICH IS WHY THEY WOULD ALL LAYABOUT AS MUCH AND AS LONG AS POSSIBLE). RUBY WOULD MAKE THE BEST HANGOVER BREAKFAST EVER, AND MARY MARGARET WOULD CURSE THEM ROUNDLY.
THEY'D CELEBRATE EMMA'S FIRST SUCCESSFUL BROWNIES; SHE NEVER DID MANAGE TO MAKE ANYTHING ELSE, BUT HER BROWNIES ARE AWESOMESAUCE.
Cantarina: WRITE A FIVE TIMES FIC. DOOOOOO IIIIIIIIIIIT.
Blue: WHAT ABOUT A FIVE TIMES NOT!FIC?
Blue says she wrote it while I egged her on (so uh, we continued as we began) and she wrote it in an email box to me, section by section. While I was waiting after Part 2, I wrote her “ *waits with bated breath for part three” and exclaimed “This one is LOVELY. Such joy!” after part <3
And because Blue said it most entertainingly in the brainstorming GChat we had about this Making Of: and then I was like here, have a gdoc, let me fix things, and you were all " Whatever, I'll make small corrections on the fly. I AM A MASTER PODFICCER, AFTER ALL"
Yes, she quoted that directly.
There was an ahahahahaha right, titling, moment to which I replied sassily “True story, podfics need titles!” A title which I proceeded to get wrong when I originally posted the story around. (From an email from Blue: *psst, it's Flour, Butter, and Eggs; you posted at dw as Butter, Milk, and Eggs* )
Blue described this story as id!fic ("Flour, Butter, and Eggs really is id!fic. My id is apparently just everybody baking (or Dean knitting) instead of hot sexy times on some days. Lalalalala.") and added Also, I totes support reading it as femslash! It's crafted as femslashy in my head, but it's technically gen; it's like non-sex Wincest, ymmv, insert reading as desired. :D
It took almost a week to get it posted, despite everything else happening within the same evening. My surviving email records indicate I was hankering away after a cover before eventually giving up on that under Blue’s very polite “Can we post now?” email.
