Chromatic Character Anthology III
The third annual Chromatic Characters Anthology just posted on Sept 30, and once again I contributed the maximum amount of stories (5). I really love this anthology, I think it's a wonderful and important concept, and I remember listening to the original Podficcers of Color roundtable episodes on Behind The Pod where this anthology was dreamed up. It's been really cool to see this anthology grow from spitball idea to third year!
I also love this anthology because the very short length requirement (the fics recorded for this series can't be over 1500 words) makes it both manageable and pretty welcoming to newcomers. I have been podficcing SO MUCH LESS this year than 2020 or 2021, in huge part because I have been writing fic so much more. But it felt really good to dip my toes back in for these short stories.
This anthology is modeled very closely after the Awesome Ladies Podfic anthology which I have also contributed in the past. Both anthologies aim to address the ongoing fandom issue that the majority of the works on AO3 still focus on characters that are white and characters that are male. I have definitely at times thought "there should be a trans/nonbinary version of this anthology series as well" followed by "if I want that, I probably have to moderate it, huh" which is tempting but also something I EXTREMELY do not have time for in my life right now. I feel like I already moderate a wonderful fic fest, it's the Fic Clique anniversary multi-media fest and it's run two years in a row now and it's probably going to run as long as the FC podcast runs, so my moderating skills are taken, lol.
Anyway, if you want to check out any of the stories I made for CCA this year, here they are:
The Only One I was Looking For by MerryofSoul, EXO, Chanyeol/Baekhyun, 7 minutes
two pinches: a modern witch's guide to love by okamiwind, EXO, DO/Sehun, 7 minutes
feel the rush by Ester, TXT, Soobin/Yeonjun, 7 minutes
to hold it against your bones by Ester, SVT, Jeonghan/Seungcheol, 7 minutes
한바라기 (only looking at you) by tullycat, SVT, Jeonghan/Minghao, 9.5 minutes
