Swordspoint fic
Jul. 17th, 2012 10:01 amI explained to Erin yesterday that writing this was like one of those fiddly lace knitting projects I sometimes see my friends take on -- intricate and never seems to get any bigger, no matter how much you work on it. So on the one hand it feels rewarding, but on another you just want to set the thing on fire.

Petronia for canis_m
Fandom: Swordspoint series - Ellen Kushner (post-The Privilege of the Sword)
Characters: Richard St.Vier/Alec Campion
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Rating: PG-13 (can't really call this an R)
Wordcount: 2182
I'll probably post it to the fandom comm tomorrow.
While poking around at Ellen Kushner's LJ last night, I found a link to someone's notes for a Worldcon 2009 panel I attended; though I think it was a different one (something to do with alternate history fiction?) after which I asked EK to sign my copy of Privilege... I enjoy the Swordspoint series, but as novels go they've had an oddly disproportionate influence on my life. I started doing radio because EK told me to do radio. Of course it wasn't as cause/effect as that but it felt like the thing that made it happen at the time. Then there was the three months or so where they thought my mother might have macular degeneration (the diagnosis ended up being something else), which would have given me a 50% lifetime chance of developing macular degeneration. I think I may not have mentioned this very much on LJ? But one doesn't know what will make one feel better about something like that, and in my case it was these stories.
