As I mentioned a few days ago, I participated in the Minigame: Round 1 flash exchange for video game fandoms. My gift was this delightful Neko Atsume story, which you don't have to actually know the game to enjoy:

I love (fannish) Yuletide so much. I'm your typical Jewish atheist, and though my husband's family does a very American non-religious Christmas, we opted out of gifts a long time ago, so my only participation in festivities is to spend Christmas afternoon and evening at my in-laws' (which I'll have to go do soon ( Read more... )

You get woeful robot again this week, as I am actually even sicker than I was last week. ( Cut for details, nothing too disgusting. )

YOU GUYS I GOT STUFF!

Ahem. I feel vaguely guilty that I got FOUR ghostly gifts for the Trick or Treat Exchange and I only wrote two. But only vaguely guilty! Not so guilty that I'm not enjoying my prezzies, which are all really excellent (and looking forward to reading more widely in the collection after work)!

Wicked Lights (The Roman Walls Remix) is for The Eagle of the Ninth (book), and is a very different story from my original - they literally take a fork in the road - but it's still about the same idea, about Esca yearning to follow his own, non-Roman path, and Marcus understanding (because he has ( Read more... )

Remix went live yesterday, and Remix Madness just now went live, and there are remixes of my stories!

Signups have opened for this year's version of Remix Redux, which is somewhat confusingly titled both 12 (the version) and 15 (the year), and is for the first time running without requiring participants to qualify in a particular list of fandoms (yay), though is also not using nominations which might make things tricky on the matching side ( Read more... )

I'm not counting my time in mainstream SF fandom, or even the several months during which I slowly discovered fanfiction (and slash fanfiction!) and tentatively subscribed to a few mailing lists and signed up on a few sites. But twelve years ago I created isiscolo, and that really marks the beginning of my fannish life as Isis, so happy fanniversary to me ( Read more... )
