amplificathonStory: Hands by Kass
Fandom: Firefly
Relationship/Characters: Gen; Kaylee Frye.
Author's summary:
Kaylee's always been good with her hands.
From the first time she touched an engine
she knew how to make it run true...
Content notes: no standard notes apply. Author's rating: general audiences.
Length: 2 minutes, 26 seconds.
Download or Stream: at the Archive of Our Own (to reduce time spent fighting linkrot). If AO3 is down, check out my reader page at the audiofic archive or my Google Drive.
Reader's note: a gentle character study to kick off this series of sestinas.
Story: An Unanticipated Side Effect of Dosing Oneself with Wraith Enzyme to Deliver an Important Message by bironic
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Relationship/Characters: Gen; Rodney McKay
Author's summary:
It was very strange. The whole time I was under the influence of the enzyme, it felt like I was, ah, I was perfectly lucid--eloquent, even. That it was you who wasn't making any sense or listening to reason.
- McKay, "The Hive"
Content notes: no standard notes apply. Author's rating: general audiences.
Length: 3 minutes, 24 seconds.
Download or Stream: at the Archive of Our Own (to reduce time spent fighting linkrot). If AO3 is down, check out my reader page at the audiofic archive or my Google Drive.
Reader's note: something more unusual for the next in the sestina series.
I can actually read this much faster, but I chose to prioritize being understood over characterization.
[Edit: the author was curious about that faster reading, so I tossed up a maximum-speed version over at AO3.]
Story: Among The Women (We Come And Go). by Lanna Michaels
Fandom: The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
Relationship/Characters: The Women
Author's summary: We are the Women. Let us go.
Content notes: no standard notes apply. Author's rating: general audiences.
Length: 2 minutes, 41 seconds.
Download or Stream: at the Archive of Our Own (to reduce time spent fighting linkrot). If AO3 is down, check out my reader page at the audiofic archive or my Google Drive.
Reader's note: and finally, poetry responding to poetry to close out the sestina series (for now).
Alternatively, you can download all the sestinas in this series as a single chaptered podbook (m4b) file (backup at audiofic archive or Google Drive).
Feedback and constructive criticism: better than nailing difficult poetry forms.
