Snowflake Challenge #11

In your own space, create a fanwork. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Fanwork means anything that you, a fan, creates. If you say it’s a fanwork, then it is! But if you want some suggestions, why not see if one of your fav fanworks creators has a transformative works statement? Many people (me included) have them on their profiles, either here on Dreamwidth or on AO3. Then go crazy! Make art, make fic, make a podfic, make a vid, make a cross-stitch pattern. Crochet, knit. Bake a cake! An interpretive dance of how it makes you feel! Anything!

I've been making a bunch of cold reads the last several days, as a response to my own challenge #8 wish and for birthdays and whatnot, but yesterday I made a podfic of silveradept's And the Cartomancy Caper for their challenge #8 wish. The Librarians/Warehouse 13 crossover, gen, podfic is 22:44.

So for me, a cold read is just, you start reading and you go, leave in all the mistakes and cat noises and whatever. For me personally, I also basically include commentary here or there? I let myself laugh through the funny parts and cry through the sad parts and just... go "whoops, that was the wrong POV, lemme try that again!"

It's not for everyone, but I enjoy it, and it's more like, as one commenter said, someone sitting at your table reading to you, rather than a performance.

That's pretty much what I expected! Like a friend spontaneously reading you something they found on the internet.

Yes, exactly! I have many, many more than the ones I posted on the AO3 which are literally "hey I found this cool thing, lemme read it for you" for friends.
