A few interesting things

[kate]

+ OH MY GOD, THIS DANCE ROUTINE (The Company at Vibe XIX 2014). O_____O I've never seen a crew so synchronized, and this isn't just five or six people, it's like, thirty. AMAZING.

+ You Have the Right to Remain Anon collection at the AO3. Now you don't have to orphan your works, you can leave them anon forever - you'll still see them in your works, on your dash, and get notifications for them. Neat idea. ETA, from melannen: There are apparently several collections like this, and anonymous is much larger, so probably easier to make it more anonymous than the one I originally linked there.

+ Looking for a Leverage podfic to record so that it will overtake LOTRIPS on my dash as one of my top five fandoms at AO3 (not that I don't like LOTRIPS - I just never wrote in it that much or was attached to my writing and I would be embarrassed for folks to see most of what I wrote these days). Found The Not Your Teaching Tool Job by BlackEyedGirl, Parker/Eliot/Hardison with biromantic asexual Parker wanting them to just understand and stop asking her questions and trying to fix her, okay? Brilliantly written, can't wait to record.

+ While I have given up on posting most of my podfics on amplificathon, I have discovered the submission page for the Audiofic Archive and submitted all my podfics, so now all my podfics are available in two different places. Have to figure out how to do that with my fic. I've been collecting my completed works for a while now (hat tip anatsuno for making me realize that it's problematic to have your content in only one place), and just need to figure out where to put them and how to organize them. I think I'll likely put them on my wife's site and link to indexes on my AO3/LJ/DW. Seems easiest and most straightforward, I think. Gonna have to put headers on them, though, none of them have that (or even titles, I think). HRM.

- Went to see Million Ways to Die in the West last night. soleta and I were going to see Maleficent but she wasn't feeling up to it, so I went to the movies by myself. I never remember who Seth MacFarlane is, he just... I don't think about him, so his name is just out there in my consciousness as a comic that exists and it doesn't tie to any particular brand of comedy, or TV shows or movies. Well, that was unfortunate (since once I found out what stuff he was attached to, I would've known his humor is not for me at all). I hated it. So much scat humor, and penis humor, and racist humor. The only thing that made me smile was watching Charlize Theron laugh. She is so lovely, and watching her laugh made me so happy inside. The jokes about how awful life was back then were amusing too (the running joke about being unable to smile in photographs was mildly amusing the first time or two), but I could've done without the awful romance plot. BLEH.

+ Going to Maleficent tonight, I hope! I have high hopes for this movie and am very excite.

There's actually several always-anon collections on AO3! just plain anonymous is the largest, if you want to maximize your chances of your works getting lost in the shuffle.

Oh, no, I hadn't realized Seth MacFarlane was attached to Million Ways! I just knew it had Liam Neeson in it, and Westerns are my one true love. :( But I'm so glad you posted this, because now I know to skip it, even if it DOES have Liam Neeson and Charlize Theron in it. :((((

That is really cool about the anon thing.

I hope Maleficent was good. I'm thinking about seeing it tomorrow.

That is super helpful about the anon collections. I've been toying with some kink-meme fills for one of my anime fandoms, and I'd like to post to AO3 if I ever manage to finish anything. I didn't feel like the ones I'm working on are things I want forever attached to this identity, but I didn't really want to orphan anything, either, so this sounds like an excellent solution.

Also, that dance routine was straight-up ridic! That is serious dedication, to be so beautifully in sync.
