New Podfic: Wind from the South (by Nos4a2no9)

[arrow00]

Hey guys: I recorded Nos' Wind from the South
because I adore it beyond all measure. There is so much
freakin' emotion in this story, tightly packed down deep
beneath a layer of desolation so profound it's like an
avalanche. All drawn masterfully by Nos with her smooth
and stark words. It is to weep.

I loved Jinjur! She got an unfair deal in my book.

i like to think there's a whole thread of subversiveness that carries forward through her life. i mean, when she raised her army of revolt, she was just a kid - she had a reasonable gripe, and actually managed to accomplish her goals - she took control of the city, she was charismatic, she was able to articulate exactly what was necessary. but she was still just a kid, and she had no idea how to carry things forward. and since she had neither the ability to bluff and weird likeability of the wizard (either personally or in the body of the scarecrow as his designate), nor the divine right of ozma, she didn't have glinda's backing. hell, i don't think there would ever have been aware that she needed that backing, that glinda's overarching power/knowledge of events kingdom-wide are what made the government possible. she knocked out a bureaucracy that was functioning purely out of habit, but she had nothing to replace it with.

erm, anyway. i think she settles, later in life, but her initial goal - putting women into visible positions of power - is accomplished anyway.

she's my favorite.

What a terrific analysis. Some people are just meant to be leaders, and she was definitely one of them.

Screw the patriarchy!
