big podfic day!

[sab]

So I recorded a whole mess of podfic today (as well as three yesterday, and some recs) for your audiological enjoyment.

Also, I am still on a recording jag, so if you've got something you'd love to hear podficked, bring it on! I am particularly interested in NCIS (Ziva? Doesn't anyone have Ziva fic for me to record?!) and Slings & Arrows (I learned I do a pretty good Geoffrey! And I can manage an Oliver and Ellen too, as well as a pretty caricatured Darren...), as that seems to be the way the wind is blowing in my fannish world these days, but I'm also all over attempting the Tenth Doctor again if you've got some. I'll take anything < 5000 words, and, again, this is a very good time for you to pimp yourself and link me to anything of yours you want recorded for posterity and to show the courts...

Today's haul (all links to amplificathon entries:

Toiling Upward in the Night, a Jekyll (the Stephen Moffat miniseries) story by ainsley, 5:46

O Lamentable Day! (7:36) by me, and also likethesun2's remix, The Brave Man With a Sword (12:45). Slings & Arrows, Geoffrey/Darren. Hilarity ensues!

Arrival, a M*A*S*H story about Radar, by hobsonphile, 2:40.

And a couple recs:

Blooded, an NCIS fic written and read by malnpudl, who seems to be on the same podficking jag I'm on. It's absolute spot-on McGee voice, which I swear I don't think I've ever read. And while it's brilliant alone as a McGee think piece, set at his first murder scene and all overwhelmed with Gibbs barking orders and McGee trying not to throw up, it also has bonus Gibbs/Tony. Beautiful end to end.

The Only Sound (archive link) is a post year-that-wasn't Jack/Ianto fic, that's notable not only for the delicate balance of truth and vulnerability in Ianto's love for Jack, but also a whole host of great character voices. It's written by crystalshard and read by jadesfire2808, who has a gorgeous English accent and slides effortlessly from Tosh to Owen to Gwen, each with their own vocal quirks. She doesn't give Jack an American accent, but seriously? Who can blame her. *g* 25:15

amplificathon is making me seriously happy, and I already have stories saved to listen to on the overseas flight, but there needs to be more. People have done a good job reaching out for weird pairings and fandoms, but I find myself craving some classic stuff. Like, seriously? There's not one Ten/Rose up there. So you don't have to let me record your fic, but let somebody! We've got till June 2nd till the challenge proper is over, but of course there's no deadline on recording podfic in the universe at large, but now's the time!

*waves hands*

YOU wrote that Darren fic? Awesome. (The remix has been one of my favourite fics in any fandom ever since I found it, and the original is gorgeous too. I wish I could write Darren.)

I am looking at my fics but I can't really imagine any of them working well as podfics :/ I don't write NCIS and my one-and-only S&A fic is long, ridiculous and eternally unfinished. I have two Doctor Who fics under 5000 words - here and here - though I've got no idea if they're suitable for podficcing :)

You know, I have never seen NCIS nor do I know anything about it, except that in the roleplay I play in ( wastedlands ) we have a Ziva, and Avon is totally friends with her and she is awesome and it amuses me greatly. I realize you don't care, but I had to say something 'cause I don't know anyone else who knows who she is.

Okay, what the hell, this looks like too much fun not to join in. For starters, do you mind if I record one or two of your short M*A*S*H pieces? I'm not confident in my ability to do anything longer or more dialogue-heavy, for now!

Hell yeah! Go for it!

[selenak.livejournal.com]

I dare you.

Hah! Um! I am totally going to try. Because that's genius. But I'm going to do a couple shorter ones first, because I'm just finishing this other longer story and it's exhausting! Tomorrow, on the other hand, is another day...

Oh hey, you could do the one-two punch of Savile Row and my Threads remix :) That might be fun :)

Yes! Dude! I am ON it.
