Wayward mixes is back on LJ! I celebrated their "new and shiny" theme by making a mix for Far From the Madding Crowd on the excuse of the new film. :) 

It's here. It's Gabriel/Bathsheba orientated and mostly folk music. :)

I've got two mixes to post today because I never posted last month's waywardmix to DW. So here goes links to a Good Wife, Kalinda/Alicia mix and a Hunger Games, Prim Everdeen mix. Plus some bonus Prim (or Willow Shields) icons because I got carried away arting for the mix. :D

Hope everybody's doing fine!

The Good Wife; Alicia/Kalinda, The Crackle in the Static


The Hunger Games; Primrose Everdeen: Fragile Shoulders - Songs for Prim



Prim Icons! )

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create... See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser-known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom who maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.

FANMIXES! I have listened to some fantastic mixes this year that have either buoyed me up or torn my heart in two.

[livejournal.com profile] colin_chaotic made A Journey of Fifty Thousand Words - a mix for nanowrimo (!) that was superduper cool and tracked the stages of that particular writing journey really well. I love how you can feel the ups and downs, the desperation and exhilaration all the way through it. 

[personal profile] somehowunbroken made Spark - a Hunger Games, Peeta/Katniss mix that really gets under the skin of how unsure they are of each other and how much they have the power to hurt each other even as they cling together. It's excellent. 

Savage Antinous is pure paincake of the Enjolras/Grantaire variety. Stabby and beautiful by The-Cynic on 8-tracks. 

[livejournal.com profile] hbics just posted my waywardmixes holiday exchange present, Live Like You Choose To which was Bomb Girls women inspired by Marge Piercy's The Low Road. It is exactly what you would want for a meeting of this show and this poem, about the women banding together and relying on each other and finding their voices. Her song choices are perfect. 

The same mixer has also done two really excellent Bible/Jesus Christ Superstar mixes that examine the relationships so well; the first, Stoic Minds and Bleeding Hearts is Jesus/Judas/Mary and is really well configured to the dynamics of that particular OT3; the second, Mary Go Round, is about Mary Magdalene and Mary, Jesus's mother becoming each other's surrogate family after the deaths of Jesus and Judas. Both of these are really interesting and really fantastic. 

And finally, [personal profile] mementis made a totally lovely and fun Due South, Ray K/Fraser mix, Time Make Us Wise last year that just makes me want to rest my chin on my hands and blink 2D hearts out of my eyes.

Go forth and listen!

For [personal profile] klingonlady,

Subject: Sea Voyages
Title: Sea Fever
Notes: For the [profile] waywardmixes holiday exchange, for [personal profile] klingonlady who wished for "sea voyages". Sorry I couldn't do a mix for either of your pairings, but you'll see I did use a song from the mix that you made for NCIS, Are You in Love with Your Partner?, which I love so much. <333 Happy Holidays, Klingonlady!
I based the mix around the poem, Sea Fever, by John Masefield. Although on the cover I've quoted part of H.D.'s poem, Sea Heroes, which is also lovely. The art on the covers is by Janette Kerr.

I've done enough of these now to want to gather them up to admire and pet them all in one place!
I started making fanmixes a year ago thanks to the waywardmixes community. I've really enjoyed it as a way to think about stories and characters from different perspectives and to wallow in my feelings about things.

p.s. If at any point you're after something and the download has expired or broken or whathaveyou just comment and I'll fix it asap. <3

I'm still doing the fanmixing challenge over at [profile] waywardmixes and this month's theme was family. I promise you I was going to do a cheery Charmed sisters mix but the Farseer feels were too much for me to withstand. Apologies. More crappy art with dubious fancasting coming your way. XD

Fandom: Robin Hobb - The Farseer Trilogy
Subject: FitzChivalry Farseer, Verity Farseer, Burrich
Title: How Could I Say I Am Sorry?
Notes/Warnings: Spoilers for the Farseer Trilogy, all three books, but fairly vague I reckon. Actors cast for the art: Fitz - Cyril Descours, Chivalry - Richard Armitage, Burrich - Denis Menochet, Verity - Romain Duris. I went with the French and Bearded. Huzzah.





How Could I Say I Am Sorry? )
amoama: (Lucrythia hold)
Subject: Gilgamesh/Enkidu, Enkidu/Shamhat, Ishtar
Fandom: Gilgamesh
Title: Let Our Hearts Be Fearless
Notes/Warnings: I've used the translation by Stephen Mitchell which is all modern lingo and fleshed out interpretation of the myth. It also has a nice introduction at the beginning if you're into that kinda thing. Art by Franziska Leischker. It's the oldest story in the world so I imagine spoiler warnings are unnecessary but anyway, major character death abounds.




Let Our Hearts Be Fearless )

This is a bandwagon I'm happy to climb aboard. :D

Day 1

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator.

Here we go!  )

Title: Deep Shadows
Fandom: Les Misérables
Subject: Javert/Valjean
Notes/Warnings: For [profile] rehia_gessev at the [profile] waywardmixes holiday exchange - I really hope you like it! Warnings for wretchedness and suicide - nothing too heavy in the mix but it is canon.
Also I know there are a lot of words here - I'm sorry - but think of how long the book is! Limiting myself was so hard. I had to use a free download version of the book as I don't have access to any of my books right now so the translation is definitely not the best ever but the awesomeness of Victor Hugo still shines through. :D
Pictures are illustrations and covers from various editions of the book.

stars in their multitude )
amoama: (Lucrythia)
Fandom: Spartacus: Vengeance
Subject: The Women
Title: The Monstrous Regiment of Women
Warning/Notes: For Round 4 of [profile] waywardmixes, group theme. Spoilers for the whole of season 2 although nothing too explicit. Just ALL the CRAZY.
