This year was largely miserable and exhausting through the middle ten months, with a couple nice things on the bookends.

Not gonna lie, I've been putting this off all month, because I just didn't even want to think about most of these questions and rehash all this stuff, because 2013 can best be summed up as: AND I THOUGHT 2012 WAS BAD.

But tradition and posterity blah blah blah.

Somehow all of January went by without me posting about these, but I am here to remedy that!

Firstly, there is now a Can you hear when I say podfic by liannabob, who also recorded two other Clint/Coulson corgi stories, including the one that inspired mine. \o/

If Teen Wolf is your thing, you can listen to the Jinx Removing podfic by anatsuno and it comes with a fitting cover:




Lastly, Semaphore is being translated into Polish. The first two parts are up right now:

2012 had a lot of extremes. Fannishly it was simply wonderful, more than I could ever hope for, and I'm still sort of blinking owlishly at my computer most of the time in amazement. In my other life, things were a little more up and down. The year started off awesome and then got crappy and then got really crappy and there was way too much cancer involved (not me, but several of people I know and love). Online, I would be happy to just live in this little bubble of time forever, because I love every minute of it, but offline I'm officially ready to move on to 2013 now and hope things get a little better.

(This isn't the fannish survey I've seen posted around, because the idea of deciding which story is my favorite and which one is under-appreciated makes me feel like I'm shriveling up inside GAH. )
