A/N: This started out as a snippet for ds_snippets, for the prompt “And when I chose to live, there was no joy, it’s just a line I crossed/It wasn’t worth the pain my death would cost,/So I was not lost or found,” but it got too long.  Companion piece from Fraser's point of view is posted over there.
Summary: Ray worries about Fraser.  (Gen or pre/slash, depending on your goggles)

Title: Children of the Fall [Podfilk]
Fandoms: ElfQuest
Characters: The Wolfriders
Rating: Gen
Length: < 5 mins
Disclaimer: I didn't create these characters, I don't own them, I derive no profit from their use.  Also, I didn't write this song, I just sang it.  If you want to hear it in its full glory, buy the album and/or sheet music (A Wolfrider's Reflections: Songs of ElfQuest).
A/N: I was fannish (though I didn't call it that) about ElfQuest at a formative age.  Which might explain why I own sheet music for the official filk album.  Also, the album itself, on cassette tape. *ahem*
Bookkeeping notes: New-to-me fandom!
Summary: A song about the Wolfriders.

A/N: To demonstrate that Chasing Rainbows technically does contain other elements besides Paul Gross looking pretty, here is a re-telling in icons of a plot arc I quite liked until it meandered off and became some different other plots instead.
Summary: Paula waited for Chris to come home from the war, but now she's not sure she still wants to marry him. . .until her father forbids it.  They have the world's most adorable elopement, but in the end, decide not to get married after all.

OK, so, this is me recording a podfic in a fandom for which I have never seen the canon.  See, I went on a binge of reading SGA fics by some of my favorite classic due South authors who were also classic SGA authors, like you do.  And then, when I was thinking about how I could get some new fandoms for badge reasons, I was amused by the idea of doing a podfic entirely without canon knowledge.  I did end up having to cheat a little, because when I had to read "ZPM" aloud, I realized that surely show that made a running joke of having both Canadian and American characters would have the Canadian say "zed" and the American say "zee," so I had to check the internet to confirm this hypothesis, and that led to clicking on some clips from the show...but I'd recorded most of the podfic before I sullied my virgin ears.  Anyway, this amuses me probably more than it amuses anyone else, and I'm awarding myself unofficial SBIGTTS bonus points for shenanigans. :)
