errr...: For my fortieth birthday, I wanted to write 40 shorts. I wrote interleaving mythologies/fandoms/whatever in a mad rush in the morning with the odd edit in between. This melange of myth legend and huh is the result.


So, this either comes out to be:
reader(5)+length(3)+fandoms(175) unless all myths are one fandom (70)+pairings(245)+length (3) = 431 or 326, I guess.

I'm trying to figure out fandom tags. What do you mean by South American RPF?

Maria Rosa was a rp in Brazil who led an army. Perhaps kickass women fandom? Perhaps someone will podcast a one of the yuletide fic. Fresne.

Wow, this was fantastic! 8D

I've loved all your mythology podfic, but this one just blew me away! Such an fascinating concept. Your readings are always pitch perfect, this one was no exception, and I admit, I did smile wide at the mention of the Rainbow Serpent - home country pride and all. Loved also that classic Disney characters make the cut as figures of myth; I'd never really thought about it before, but they're about as close to it as we get in this modern age, aren't they? And Jesus the Bartender = brilliant! XD

Thank you so much for recording! And also, happy birthday ;D

\o/ Excellent. It's such a loosely strung series of stories, it was hard to tell if it would work for people not living in my head. Also, kind of awesome that you've mentioned two of the three stories that I went into the string planning on writing. Most of it was stream of consciousness. But I knew going in there would be Mary-Tyler-Moore-Medusa, Rainbow Serpent/Jormangandr, and Jesus the wine-bartender. I'd been trying to bake them into longer stories, when really they wanted to be part in a larger City.
