It's been a while since I posted kitty pics that made me chuckle ... behold the wonder --

I need to get me one of these ....



Good God, what an angle!



Lemme in!!!!!!



This is me in the morning ...



Again with the angle ...



This one is entitled "Zombie Cat".  I think it should probably be "Rocky" cat, though.

A thread-hijacking to say thank you

Hello! Sorry to hijack a comment thread. I'd PM but LJ's lame PM interface doesn't allow HTML, and I'd just point you to this post, but my fandom posts are all friendslocked, so...

THE BEST FANDOM COMPLIMENT I HAVE EVER EVER RRECEIVED

What with one thing and another, I've had kind of a roller-coaster of a couple of days, and have spent my Saturday so far sleeping in way too late and soothing my nerves with a little perfectionistic editing of a podfic I'm working on.

So when I got this amazing piece of praise, validation, and downright ego-gratification in my inbox a few minutes ago, it's not all that surprising that I burst into tears...tears of, well, squee, really.

I just wanted to let you know what an awesome job you did on your podbang entry "When Heroes Go Down ..."...The recording is smooth and your voice is just perfect. I like the subtle tones you use to distinguish one character from another. You sound so much like Allison Janney from West Wing. So amazing! Beautiful work!

*recovers from stunned feeling a little*

That came from twasadark, whose own podfic-making standards are very high and whose voice and ear are wonderful (Hear for yourself!), and it would be an understatement to say that it made my day.

Much praise is due the source material by buffyaddict13, my gateway drug the first Supernatural fic I ever read, and much also to the moderators of Podbang:2009, who had the brilliant and ballsy idea of asking for long podfic. It gave me the nerve to try a long piece, and as a result, I've found this whole new fandom thing that's giving me untold amounts of creative satisfaction.

My podbang entry, however, got no response at all from my giftee, and I've been feeling a little unsure of my fannish self because of that. So to get this feedback (*squees* I sound like Allison Janney! *squees some more* I have a TALL VOICE!!) is a huge boost, and a great inspiration to do more, and better.

Thank you, twasadark! You've restored my fannish self!

And also? PS These cat pictures are hilarious!

Awww, you're so sweet! I'm thrilled to make someone so happy with a little (justly deserved) praise. :-) I'm utterly dumbfounded that your giftee didn't bother to get in touch with you to thank you!! Maybe she or he is out of the country in Afghanistan or something and has no web access ... because otherwise that's pretty unforgivable!

Thanks so much for your kind words about my bajillion podfics, lol. I was pretty horrid when I started out, I must admit. Ah, well, at least I improved some as time went on.

I'm so happy that your fannish self has been restored! Being a fan is so much fun! I'm really looking forward to your next podfic offering. :-)

Thanks. I can imagine that my giftee just lost track of Podbang somehow--the only notification of a gift's arrival was in amplificathon itself. She doesn't seem to have posted on her own LJ since December (at least not publicly) and it's possible that she's had something happen in her life. Hard to say--I just hope she's okay--there was no way for me to inquire without sounding like, "Hey, listen to my podfic! whine whine whine".

And yes, fandom is a great place and I love it here. Especially today. :D Thanks again.
