viveperdiemnoctemque at Tumblr asked:

what are your thoughts about the parallels and differences between beatrice/benedick and darcy/elizabeth? obviously, you prefer d/e, but what is it about them or the story they inhabit that makes it better for you? also, any fanfic recommendations? (for both, but i've never seen any much ado about nothing fanfic, so probably p&p lol)

As far as the first goes, my many opinions couldn’t really be confined to a manageable-length Tumblr post, so I monologued about it here. [NB: I would really like to transcribe this at some point, but haven't managed it yet.]

I haven’t really read Much Ado About Nothing fic (at least none that stuck with me), but as far as P&P goes, I have some recs here, here, and here.

There's a voice meme going on at Tumblr, and roane72 asked me to talk about my favourite character.

...I managed to restrain myself to a mere thirteen minutes of squee about Darcy.

I'm too distracted for anything more coherent, so here's my looong commentary on the next chapter of The Adventures of Lucy Skywalker (previous chapters are here, here, and here).

Aside from fannish rage, that is.

Listening back, this is probably the weakest part - partly because I was fairly frustrated, and partly because I was really unclear and had to add in a ton of editorial remarks just to clarify what I meant. But here is the last part.

This, even more than the others, is a continuation of the previous section, but narrows the focus on Luke and Leia. Luke-Leia is up there with Anakin-Luke for my favourite relationship in Star Wars, so I took advantage of the opportunity for a quasi-picspam and just stuffed every Luke and Leia-focused picture/set of pictures I have into the video space. Which, looking over it, led to some rather odd juxtapositions. (I'll post them properly in a few days. Uh, warning for thirty-year-old quasi-twincest - twins kissing with varying levels of incestuousness, at varying levels of canon.)

This is where we get into the inevitable 'Luke is just like Padmé' thing, though even my speed-talking wasn't enough to fit it all into fifteen minutes. Anybody who knows me can probably guess why.

This was a weird section for me, and probably one of the more artificial section breaks. Basically, this is the one where -- I felt -- Tricia was arguing that people dislike Padmé because they blame her for certain poor choices and aren't given evidence of her position as a political leader. I disagree on both counts, and dislike her characterization anyway!

Yes, these go on forever, and I went off on tangents at pretty much every opportunity. This, of course, is one of them -- the whole thing is my response to maybe one paragraph, and at that, rather tangentially related to it. It's a little shorter, though, since I'm now trying to separate these into vaguely cohesive units, though.

At some point, I realized this was less about the fangirlblog post and more "Elizabeth has FEELINGS. About EVERYTHING. Hear her!"

appropriate random icon is appropriate!

This response is completely off the top of my head and ended up being (1) way longer than I expected, so I'm posting it in bits and pieces, and (2) more fervent than I expected, so if you like Padmé and/or the prequels, you may not want to listen/read. But here we go. Oh, and the transcript necessarily includes the essay I'm reacting to, since I read it aloud and responded point-by-point (well, started to).

I will probably doing more audio things in the near future, because, honestly, it's about all I have time for at the moment. Back in ye olde days of 300-level classes, and only three of them, I had plenty of time for my sort of involved, rambly essays, which I just don't at the moment. But I do want to stay involved in my fandoms! So audio stuff that doesn't take as long, with transcripts when I can manage, so sort of like rambles, but more...spontaneous!

In related whatsits, I would like to do a reading of something I didn't write, in accordance with the whole hey-I-have-time-for-talking-if-not-much-else. So if anybody is willing to have me podfic a fic of theirs, drop me a line or a comment or something.

Well, The Adventures of Lucy Skywalker is, anyway. I stumbled across it the other day, and it was ... um, okay, kind of weird, because a good portion of the review is the reviewer just reading and occasionally interspersing commentary, and the way she reads it sounds nothing like how it does in my head (it’s awful, but I kept wanting to say ‘um, I put those stops there for a reason’). It's not the accent, either, just ... I don't know. The rest is a brief sum-up of her opinions that seemed mostly about some other fic she disliked, but she concluded that mine is more than adequate, which was nice? You can try to watch/listen to it here, if you want.
