Thevina recognition week, continued

[thrihyrne]

I'm really, really stunned. Apparently the self-confidence writing gods are seeking me out this week. I was doing a search on my pseudonym and fic and recs (as one does when feeling that your current writing is uninspired, but it used to be pretty good) and discovered that OMG a genfic gapfiller I wrote in December of '05 was recorded and then discussed in a Snapecast roundtable last fall. No kidding. I wrote Ever More Tightly Bound as a gift fic for eldritchhobbit, and the Snapecasters featured it last fall. It falls at 1:17:49 in the podcast. I've never heard anything of mine read dramatically, and I tried to listen without editing it as it went along. ;) What was especially great about the roundtable discussion is that through the first 3/4 of the discussion, they thought I'd written it as an AU version of a scene in DH. Towards the end, one of the participants noticed the date of my story and that I'd written it two years before DH. So I'd actually pre-written a scene that JKR did include in DH. They preferred my version. ;)

So... I feel like a superstar. Yay. :D

Was it really weird to hear your story read in the podcast?

HA. That is great! :-) I can't believe they didn't let you know they were going to talk about your story! You could've been squeeing and happy about this last fall!

Yes, it totally was. Especially because I'd written it so long ago, and I'd forgotten the details of it, only the overarching feeling of it, lol.

No, I wasn't alerted! But what a treat to find it now. :)

Yay! That great. But I have to wonder that they did that without even attempting to contact the author and 1) get permission and 2) let her know? Huh?

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

That did occur to me... I suppose if I were overwhelmed by people doing that I'd be more protective of my fic, but I'm not. I do see your point, though. But still. Yay! And yay for your new fandom pursuits!! :D

Podcast! That is amazing, congratulations! I do remember that fic, one of the first one of yours I ever read. But since i'm not a huge Snape fan, it didn't stick in the memory till just now. sorry. LOL.

What a great boost to you to know stuff you wrote so long ago is still being read and discussed.
