Today I read this interview of Benedict Cumberbatch for Out magazine. It's a very enjoyable one, full of interesting opinions of Benedict on homophobia and homosexuality (as this magazine is a LGTB one), but it hit close to heart when the interviewer, as they sometimes do, threw to his face the fanfic issue:

And from here there is a cut )
Hello!

Today I was going to post only the next entry of the music meme, but I've been having these thoughts nagging me for ages and I've decided to write about it here, because two reasons: a) people isn't as harsh as it can be on Tumblr and b) I prefer the format and the less potential number of readers.

Therefore, I am going to talk about fandom. After months of thought, I've arrived to the conclusion that fandom life both fills and sucks your life out of you. Is this good? Probably not. Do we care? Absolutely not. Should we care? It depends on the case.

Fandom thoughts. It could contain triggery stuff if you've had serious trouble with people from your fandoms )

Lately I've been thinking I need a rebirth. I hope I can do that some day ([livejournal.com profile] snowgrouse, send me the Master).


PS: I am talking in general. I repeat, IN GENERAL. If any of you feel affronted by any of this, please talk to me face to face and we'll sort our problems.

PS2: If you didn't notice, I opened my heart here. Treat carefully, I won't tolerate harsh comments.
Today I received a comment on this fic (the Spanish sequel to Changing The Rules) that left me wondering. Part of the comment said:

Honestly, I doubted a lot that stories like this would exist in Spanish, because most of the stories in this fandom are in English.

And it's true, I've searched on AO3 and you can only find 3 Spanish Muse fics, and two of them are mine (and the other one belongs to [livejournal.com profile] take_a_bow06).

So, my point is, why does this happen? I'm sure they're a lot of Belldom fans in Spain and Spanish speaking countries, I know several of them, and I'm sure it's impossible there are only two persons who write it, so my question is where the hell does this people post? Even if AO3 is clearly a English-speaking site, I believe it gives you a great opportunity to post your fics, so I think there should be more people in there.

I know most of the Spanish-speaking fandoms are around FanFiction.net, but the rules there don't allow you to post nothing RPF or RPS, so I thought I'd find Spanish Muse fics on AO3... and I didn't. Does anyone know about a site where people post Spanish fics? Even if I read on English (because my past experiences with Spanish fandoms taught me generally there isn't much quality out there), I'm curious and I'd love to take a look. I also think people *want* Spanish Muse fics, because looking at my statistics on AO3, my Muse fics are the only ones in Spanish that have more than 100 hits, when the normal average for my Spanish fics are around 50 in the best of the cases (most of them are around 30... if we don't count Undisclosed Desires, even if I don't know why but it has 97 hits, I think it's because the Muse title, but it is a Doctor/Master fic, of course).

To sum up all this rambling, my point is that Spanish-speaking fandoms are a mystery to me *nods* However, I'll keep writing in Spanish, even if my last Belldom idea was born in English... and, believe me, I'm afraid of that fic and I don't even know if I should write it...


Talking about other Muse-y things, look what I have been doing for a friend:

Cut for image )

So basically, I have this friend who asked me to recommend her a few Muse songs, because she wanted to start listening to them. And, like I want her to understand why they are so fucking awesome, I decided to make her a whole custom cd with the songs I think she'd love and, like I had time and I love to procrastinate, I added the lyrics and I think it's pretty cool, isn't it? I hope she likes it, because I worked hard on it.

The songs are 3 from Showbiz, 4 from Origin of Symmetry, 3 from Absolution, 4 from Black Holes and Revelations, 2 from The Resistance, 3 from The 2nd Law and Neutron Star Collision and Stockholm Syndrome live from H.A.A.R.P. Crossing my fingers that she'll like my gift and she'll decide to buy the original albums!

Ok, end of the rambling (can you tell I wanted to talk?).

PS: I'm still translating the sequel to Changing The Rules. I hate translating my fics .-.
