The Science of Phonaesthetics
AO3 / Amplificathon / what's podfic?
A request: If you know me (or even think you know me) IRL/outside of fandom, I would greatly appreciate it if you sent me a private message letting me know so that we can chat. I'm mostly fine with people knowing about my fannish self IRL, but still appreciate the gesture all the same!
I just realized (a bit late) that it’s been a year since I posted my first podfic, The Progress of Sherlock Holmes, to Amplificathon.
I’m so ridiculously glad that I made the decision to toss caution and nerves and doubt to the wind and throw my hand in at podficcing. I’m richer in friendships, confidence, skill, knowledge, and sheer joy than I could have ever imagined when I decided to start participating in fandom culture in the only way I knew how a year ago.
So, yes, I suppose I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who’s stuck with me along the way, to every friend I’ve made, and to every person who’s ever told me that what I do had a positive impact on their experience as a fan, or just as a person. Thanks especially to Ivy for the permission to podfic her phenomenal story, and to all the writers who’ve given me permission to podfic their work since. It’s really meant the world to me, and I’m so grateful for every single one of you guys.
On that note, in case anyone wants to give the old girl a re-listen or rec it to a friend, here she is :)

The police are treating Sherlock roughly, as if they just caught him in the act. They don’t need to handcuff him, because he intends to go with them willingly. He put on his scarf and his coat; he intends to go quietly. But they cuff him and haul him out anyway, with contempt. That is more than John can bear. It’s unjust.
John wants to see a warrant, for one. At least a warrant. He demands that they treat Sherlock with respect. After everything Sherlock has done for them: all the cases he’s solved for free, after all the good he’s done, this is how they treat him, in the end. The way they wing him around so that he stumbles; I wonder if that’s the point where John starts to seriously lose his temper. Sherlock is a strange creature, but he is, if nothing else, dignified, and the police are not allowing him any dignity at all. They are deliberately humiliating him.
Given John’s fundamentally moral nature, his inclination to defend the people he loves at any cost, the injustice of this arrest, and the willful humiliation of someone he admires while he is helpess to prevent it, it’s no wonder he ends up resorting to righteous violence.
Righteous violence is kind of John’s thing.
Ivy’s scene deconstructions=always a good read.

Chapters: 1/5
Series: Part 1 of Your Name Inside My MouthDo you guess, John? Do you guess yet? Can you see it? It feels so obvious. The clock is ticking. It’s coming. You don’t see it, do you. It’s the hinge. Impending. Shattered glass hovering over the floor. It will hurt.

So…here’s how this is going to go. I realize most people probably don’t want to read a story scene by scene. But I get such JOY posting this way, it’s very motivating for me. There is a sort of middle ground, though!
This is a story in three parts. The last time I wrote a story in three parts I just posted it as one chaptered thing, which I’m not completely delighted about, really. So this time I’m going to try posting a story as a series of three chaptered stories to see how that works out. I will post each scene of it as I finish it, but if you’d rather you can wait until each individual story is done before reading, that will make sense, I think. Or just wait until the whole thing is done and read it in one go. Or just ignore it altogether, which would make the most sense.
I had sort of decided only to post three times (one for each story in this little series), but I still want it to be fun for me, you know? And the act of posting makes me so happy. So my apologies if you find it annoying. You can’t win’em all, can you.
Well aren’t I just about the luckiest girl this side of the Mississippi. If you haven’t already, go check out Ivy’s new WIP for the fuckyeahjohnlockfanfic giveaway!

secretlyjohnwatson replied to your post: So, this is it.
‘give away a fanfic writer’ - sounds like we’re going to get an actual author and not just something written by them.That ISN’T what’s happening? But…I’m all packed and ready to go!
