Esteemed readers,

GUESS WHO JUST GOT SURPRISE!PODFICCED! 8D

Stitch Two Together, as recorded by the marvelous Opalsong

This is going on my new mp3 player immediately, OMG.

Everyone else in the universe who is even remotely fond of Homestuck and/or knitting fic (with token crocheter, because even if the knitting!fic plunny overpowered my natural inclination to favor crochet there was no way I was going to let my chosen craft go completely overlooked) is encouraged to give it a listen and praise the hell out of Opalsong's recording.



And now if you will excuse me, I am off to battle the terrifying sequel!plunny that has just hopped into my thinkpan. NOT BEFORE FEBRUARY, TREACHEROUS LAGOMORPH!

Oooh, congrats on the double-whammy of podfic + sequelbunny! :D

[soc_puppet]

I graciously accept your congratulations on the podfic, but am side-eying* the sequelbunny congrats. Mostly because the perfectionist crocheter-and-pattern-maker in me is demanding that I actually make the patterns I'm thinking about, but my tendonitis is like HELL NO, do you even know how many fucking crochet stitches that would be. And then the logic part of my brain is all, If you were actually going to make them, you should probably include the patterns in the fic, make individual chapters for each recipient; and the enthusiastic part of me adds, then you can make/write/post them in the appropriate zodiac phase! Then logic adds, You have got to be fucking kidding me, I'm with Tendonitis on this, I don't necessarily want to be tied down to one fic for a whole year - possibly more, because you're thinking about giving the kids stuff too, and what would you even give them, I ask you?

And yeah. It's a bit of a mess? I mean, even if I skip making the actual things, I still need to decide what to give the kids, and also if I'm shipping Tavros with anyone in this fic and if so who(Stitch Two Together has hints of Gam → Tav, but there's nothing that says I have to stick with that or even do any shipping at all in the hypothetical sequel), and I really wasn't planning on devoting myself to writing anything until February. Though since my tendonitis is acting up now anyway... Actually, adding a math game to the mix probably wouldn't help my tendonitis at all, so still probably waiting until February.


* Really? That's really how it's spelled? I am so checking the dictionary to make sure that's the case. I mean, that was apparently my instinctual spelling choice, but still!

...Wow, okay, yes, I can see why you're not exactly embracing that bunny like a long-lost flushcrush. 0.o

[soc_puppet]

Yeah =_=

And that's not even counting the fact that I didn't call it crochet, so what am I supposed to name the stitches? And I also just remembered (because I was listening to ♥ the podfic ♥ while crocheting) that I kinda implied that giving gifts as a sign of affection was quadrant-related? Possibly red-quadrant exclusive? I mean, if I just go with quadrant-related across the board, I could narrow it down to five recipients, but I'd still have to decide who's in which quadrant. (Though it's possible I could ashenship Tav♣Vris♣John.) While that could actually work out pretty well, I might also have to change up what Tavros would make for everyone, though it might be fun to come up with stuff.

...Did I mention or imply earlier anywhere that this would be a Tavros Makes People Stuff fic? Because that is what it would be. Also, thank you for listening to me ramble/rant/thing ;_;b It is quite helpful ♦

[krait]

Haha, you are always welcome to ramble-rant at me! I like hearing other people's brains working. :D

I'm probably pretty useless here, though, since all I know about knitting/crocheting is that they're not the same, but they both involve sticks and fibre. *sheepish* It's one of the few crafts I've never really picked up or even been exposed to. (I totally want to learn to spin, though!)

Tavros Makes Stuff would be adorable, I have to say. :D

[soc_puppet]

...Fuck it, I'll just bug my lovely podficcer for their preferences. Make them decide. It's their fault I got plunnied, after all.
