There is totally a fanmix coming for this one, as well as an annotated version. 'Cause while it is only 4K, for me that is Epic Fic, and a lot of thinking went into this one, including consideration of disability and Trek's Issues with aliens. And, uh, the Proclaimers. Shut up.

Also, I've only had one drabble requested for my More Joy Day giveathon. MOAR DRABBLE REQUESTS PLEASE.

* Fun fact: we never got MLK Day off when I was in school, it being classed as an observance day in Wisconsin public schools. I believe each district determines whether or not it's a day off.

Hi!! So, I read this over at AO3 and loved it. I won a podfic reading at the recent fund_jcollins auction from nickelmountain.livejournal.com and would be so very happy if you would allow her to podfic it for me. It would be shared, and likely announced over at amplificathon, and/or the LJ community. I liked very much the sense of agency that Gaila had in the fic, I liked the femslash theme, and I loved the thought very evident in this fic. I also liked the sense of sexuality and genders both being not binary, which is something I experience in RL. If you could any email reply to elemgi 3 at yahoo dot com, I would be most pleased.

Dropped you an email, but short answer is yes!

Hi, I don't think I gave you the link to Nickle Mountain's podfic of this work on AO3. She's done an excellent, thoughtful reading.
