Things of Note!

This is so long overdue, but here are a few cool things that have happened with regards to secondary fanworks of my stuff in the last month or so:

[personal profile] podcath recorded podfic of my 3rd Rock/Inception crossover! *muppet arms* I love this odd little story, I confess, and I'm glad she liked it enough to record it. It's awesome -- listen and give her due props: In Duty Homeward Shall We Fly

Also in the category of that fic, [livejournal.com profile] rainy_elliot has translated it into Russian, here. Very cool! Obviously I cannot make heads or tails of it as a complete non-Russian speaker/reader, but I can tell you that putting the page through Google translate does make for good times as an English speaker, especially as this particular fic lifts a few lines of dialogue from canon. For example:

- Do not be afraid to be daring, darling, - said Eames and took half a roof with one stone.

and

It is gratifying to see how you deign to praise, Arthur. Thank you.

and

- We have fun with them nicely - with a grim smile, Arthur promised by connecting Eames. - Good night, Mr. Eames.

(I am sure it is 1000000 times better in Russian, btw, but I do think even some of these lines might be better than Nolan's canon.)

Lastly, in the primary fanwork category, we have cookies.

I make cookies for co-worker Christmas gifts, or have done for the past couple of years. I was chatting with [personal profile] xenakis as I finished up baking some gingerbread for this project in early December and confessed that [profile] stars_collected (who was sharing the decorating work with me in exchange for cookies for her own gifting) and I would have trouble refraining from making all the gingerbread men into tiny Arthur and Eameses. To which she replied, as any responsible fangirl would, DO IT. NOW.

The result? Well, several days, four custom cookie templates, nine icing colours, and about two hours of decorating later, we had the cookie OTP.

Eames, as you can see, came out a bit like he's been eating too much dough, and Arthur perhaps not quite enough, but we were pleased enough with them to pack them in a lot of bubble wrap and send them across the country to [personal profile] xenakis. Eames arrived intact (bulk has its advantages in cookie-world) but Arthur suffered a severe leg fracture. From what I understand, Xen disposed of the severed limb in a very delicious way.

Thanks! I've had lots of non-Inception-related practice with cookies, got a bit obsessed with cookie decorating about two years back.
