Monday Smiles

Good things to wake up to, writing-wise:

helva2260 has done me the honour of creating an audio version of Discordance, my Merlin story about Morgana and Gwen, and will do an entire album of all my Merlin character portrait. Since I love podfic as a listener, this makes me beam a mile wide as an author as well.

Next, from one of my newest fandoms to one of my old ones:



For meta this time, my essay about Connor, in the No Rest For the Wicked awards. Who ever did that, thank you!


And then, in one of my oldest fandoms, to wit, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, a Garak/Bashir shipping manifesto is up which includes my Garak-Bashir tale in its story recs. Aw. All in all, that's definitely the way to start a monday!

More Baroque Splendour

Remember Schloss Weißenstein, where the summer concerts take place? We went to another, and this time got a tour of the palace as well, which is really something to behold. Prince Bishop Lothar Franz von Schönborn wasn't stingy with his summer house. There's a Rubens inside you might not know, too.
