    Summary

    Two students. One bond. A spiral of obsession, violence, and memory where nothing is as linear or as innocent as it seems.

    Zanka and Jabber as obsession masquerades as intimacy, violence becomes connection, and memory blurs until nothing can be trusted not even the story itself.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I don't even know how to describe this
    Very cinematic, sensual with a side of creepy and a rhythm that's present from the first sentence. You know how this will end but it pulls you along and you can't wait to see how the characters get there.

    So much of this fic is silent communication, which, of course, make the words actually said hit all the harder. There's also a line about memory and the transformative nature of it that's going to keep me up at night I just know it.

    This also gets a gold star for inspiring me to watch Donnie Darko again.
    While the plot is very different, the somnambulant feeling of unreality, when you've been awake for so long the edges of the world start to become fuzzy is spot on.

    It can be repetetive and confusing at times but it's supposed to be, just go with it and enjoy the ride.

    Summary

    An essay I wrote about how music and reading are similar, how to manage your breathing while you're reading, how to identify the natural pauses in a text, and a few practical exercises you can use to put all of this in practice.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I don't even go here but I love this SO much!

    I found it ages ago through the crack!van and then lost it, I am so happy to have found it again.

    reading this always gives me the impression of a running river, where everyone is trying their best and doing what they can whilst being trapped in the roles they've been dealt. there is something calm and understated about the writing in this, that actions unfold almost like a play.

    Rues pov feels both resigned and determined, too young to deal with the horrors she's dealing with, but far too used to it.
    this story has stayed with me for so long and it's nice to see that this fic is still as good as I remembered<3

    Summary

    Hooray! You've made a podfic! But now, how do you share it? Posting to tumblr, youtube, or a fandom-specific community are all decent options. But chances are, if the fic you recorded is from AO3, you'll reach the largest and most receptive audience by also posting to AO3.

    The archive welcomes all types of fanwork, but is structured and built primarily for written works. Posting podfic can be confusing or complicated if you're unfamiliar with it. This guide will cover both the basic mechanics of posting podfic to AO3, as well as the typical conventions used by the podfic community to help your audio be found by people who want to listen.
