Thank you so much for posting this, for I would have missed it otherwise! I don't check LJ and dreamwidth often (and am not on Tumblr), and when there was no mention of remix last year I thought it might have stopped. The timing is kind of crowded in there with Erised and Careerfair, which are the fests I regularly try to write for (I might have to postpone career fair since it's not an exchange), but I do love remix, and it was you whose recommendation got me started on it years ago!
Also to let you know, when you posted before about reading The Ruthless Lady's Guide to Wizardry I thought it sounded fun and put a request in for it at my library, and when it comes in I can use it for the "Recommended by a Friend" square on my library's summer book bingo card! :D Looking forward to it, as well as to "The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels" (not lesbian, but looking very fun).
Khalulu!! how wonderful to hear from you. :) It is kind of crowded, with all the fall and winter fest (not to forget OWLFEST). It will be Drarry Fall and Winter for sure. But yeah, H/D Remix!
Oh, and how wonderful that you are checking out C's Ruthless Lady's Guide. Once you read it, let me know what you think.
I am doing well! Tomorrow I'll get my first anti-covid-vaccination. How are you doing, sweet?
Do I remember Chris Williamson, The Changer and the Changed? Yes, I do. Absotutely! Those were the days in the late 1980s when I listened to a radio show called Women's Music every Monday night. :) It was so great! I still have tapes of the show. (But I'd be hard-pressed to find a tape recorder to listen to them.) It must have been a blast to go to one of her concerts.
I am glad you could continue teaching during the pandemic, even if only on Zoom. I kind of did the same: we've been teaching a lot of writing classes on Zoom, especially during last winter. Now we are going back to live teaching, with some people still on Zoom.
During the hardest weeks of the lockdown, me and gf moved to one apartment and kept each other company. It was okay. We've been taking LOADS of walks. I pretty much stopped usinmg public transport in Berlin, but joined NextBike, a bike-sharing service. I am biking now everywhere. :)
It was a very fun concert, though small, I get the feeling she was in town and decided to do it on the spot. But very moving to hear one of those old songs, and also her new songs, and she had some friends on stage and they were joking and it was very warm, like "how good to see live people again!"
Hi again Vaysh! I turned in my remix fic and just heard from an old friend that her step-daughter just finished making a short documentary about a Womyn's land community in rural Alabama, still going. I thought you might be interested! Here is a link about it:https://www.docnyc.net/film/shorts-she-stories-2/ Here is the webpage of the Womyn's land, see if the graphic doesn't take you back to the 80's: https://alapine.org
I'm so happy that Vaysh posted this and this in turn meant that khalulu saw it and signed up! I was so thrilled to see her sign-up come in!! Thank you Vaysh, and thank you khalulu <3
♥ You are most welcome. I didn't think so many people would respond to this promotion post - I haven't had that much fandom interaction in quite some time. :) And yeah, for Khalulu signing up!
So glad you are doing it again, snowgall! And so nice to hear from you and see your icon again! I have not done much in fandom since last winter - it's nice to reconnect!
