For my art, I got podfic...

podfic_lover and dodificus created a trailer for when the story went live, and have created a podfic of the complete story.

Podfic - "Father Confessor" by keerawa

[sundayscat.livejournal.com]

I've recorded keerawa's wonderful due South story "Father Confessor" as a podfic. It's told from father Behan's point of view and mostly gen, focusing on the Vecchio family, it has brief mentions of domestic and sexual abuse.

Lovers In A Dangerous Time - A RayK/Fraser Mix

[rchelsea2005.livejournal.com]

This story starts about two weeks ago when I was thinking to myself "You know, I really haven't come across very few Due South fanmixes." Being that I'm a pretty big fan of music, I thought it might be a good idea to embark upon creating my own Due South fanmix. All gen or friendship intentions pretty much went out the window (because it's no secret that I'm a natural romantic-at-heart, and those boys are just something else.) For me, as for quite a few others I'm sure, the dynamic between Benton Fraser and Ray Kowalski is pretty iconic, and pretty darn great. Now, I won't risk going into all the reasons that I "ship" these two characters (impossible), but I will tell you that halfway through putting this together, I thought to myself "What is it that makes a fanmix great?" I thought back on the best fanmixes I've ever come across, and what made them so good was that they made connections to other aspects of the fandom -- tied everything together and further cemented the characters or subjects in my fangirl heart.

So what did I do? I picked some songs that I felt were appropriate for what is formally called "subtext" within the series. There are some seriously romantic undertones here, and if Benton/RayK isn't really your thing, simply be advised :] (though I'm sure you'd still enjoy the music!) And along with these songs, I picked excerpts from fiction that was really near and dear to my heart; excerpts that I felt went along well with the choice of music. Included with the excerpts are lyrics, artist and author names, and links so that you may enjoy the stories I have enjoyed so very much. Please read the respective warnings before reading the stories.

More importantly, I wanted to share something nice with the people that have been so kind to me these past few months since entering this fandom. Think of this as a little thank you. You all somehow manage to always brighten my day :]

(And now you're thinking "Oh my god. Quit being a schmoop, and just get ON with it, already!" :P)
