I just went to take another look at langfic, and saw you have been posting in Esperanto! I must get my old dictionary out and see what I can understand. I remember having fun years ago using Esperanto's word-creating abilities to invent new words for Star Trek fanfic :D

!!

[ringlat]

Yeah!! Actually I do a ton of stuff with Esperanto in general since I find it so useful (ex. I study Japanese vocabulary with Esperanto, not English), and after I tried it I even found out that it HELPS me write fiction. In English I get caught up on how all the words sound, but in Esperanto I have to rely on what I'm "actually saying" to create the mood, if that makes sense. So I end up thinking about what I'm writing a lot more and am forced to actually picture the scene.

But I spend so much time wasting time or writing nonfiction these days that I hardly ever write fiction anymore! Right now I'm writing a book (in English) on how Esperanto helps you learn every language, not just the major European ones, and I'm trying to get it finished by the 21st...

But anyway, the funnest thing with Esperanto is to do your best to write a fanfic that has tons of words/things that English can't say ; D

Hey, I noticed your post on an older friending meme (this one: http://denorios.livejournal.com/1323479.html?page=3#comments). I'm trying to be more involved in fandom, and I deeply love all things X-Men. I'm trying to make more connections in fandom, so please let me know if you'd like to be friends. :)

[garonne]

Hello. Nice to meet you!

I too made a resolution to be more involved in fandom recently :)

I should warn you I don't post very much about X-men. Though I still love to read the fic, I was really inspired by the recent movie... Maybe because I felt like they tried to cram so much stuff into it! Or are you more of a comics fan?

We have another fandom in common, as a matter of fact: Star Trek! I'm a bit Trek fan, though I've just realised I forgot to mention it in that friending meme. Do you have a favourite series or film? I'm mostly a TOS fan myself.

Glad you are uploading all your fic to AO3! Also, I didn't know 'til I read this post that some of your dS fic has been podficced, so yays for that!

[garonne]

Yes, one was even written to be podficced, which is something I love doing (participated several times in a challenge that brings together writers and podficcers). I always have a great admiration for podficcers and think they don't get enough appreciation in fandom!

[ride_4ever]

Yeah, I've discussed writing for a podficcer for that pod together thing...and I've lined up a podfic mentor to teach me this coming year about how to podfic.
