An email note this morning brings word of yet another podcast featuring a Gray Cardinal fic-reading...and this time, it's of a work so venerable that it's not even up on AO3!
No, this time the proprietors of Stranger Than (Fan)Fiction - and a skilled quartet they are, as it turns out - poked at my old fanfiction.net account, ran across the first three acts of the yet-unfinished A Midsummer Day's Nightmare, and decided to perform Act I on an episode released in mid-November. (You can find the episode here; the part in which my story appears begins at about 36:30.)
Now as I note, A Midsummer Day's Nightmare isn't in my AO3 archive; I had wanted to finish the story before bringing it over (and still have plans in that direction all these years later, though probably not till after my Yuletide story is properly uploaded). So the link I've just given is for the partial work in my old fic-space.
The nickel summary is this: Many moons ago, back when AO3 was a mere gleam in the eye of those then running Yuletide, I'd had my eye on a couple of different prompts for a New Year's story - one being a Muppet prompt, and one involving a certain Shakespeare play. Being the crossover junkie I am, I couldn't resist merging the two canons and adding a bonus brain-switching plot....
I actually know how this turns out, too. I just have to find the spare moments to actually sit down at the keyboard and write it.
