Podfic: Resonant's "Loving North", and album love

2011-01-16T23:47:58Z

I've recorded a podfic of Resonant's Loving North. It's Fraser/Kowalski, rated NC-17, and its one of my favorite stories. I had lots of fun recording it, but I'm not satisfied with my Kowalski-voice at all. I'm really just too stuffy to sound like a Ray!

The original story can be found on Resonant's website: http://trickster.org/res/loving.html
The podfic is at megaupload at: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q68T4EH0.

On other fannish fronts, my partner and I spent a lovely weekend visiting with jjtaylor, who showed us the videos for My Chemical Romance's new album, and I am so psyched! I doubt I'll ever be seriously into bandom, but I have a not-so-secret guilty love of MCR. I adore intricate, layered music that tells a story (The Decemberists "The Crane Wife" is my favorite album ever) and, apparently, that extends to post-apocalyptic emo hardcore. I suspect we'll be listening to the album on loop on the drive home tomorrow, and I'm really looking forward to it.

New Fanfic

2010-09-05T19:43:30Z

I recently posted a couple of new fics to AO3:

Passage: F/K, Teen, set during CotW. More or less a songfic, for which I apologize, but the bunny just would *not* get out of my head till I wrote it.

Often: an explicit F/V UST masturbation piece. I wrote it as a character study for a story that didn't get written, and thought it might stand alone, but it is some fairly angsty porn.

I'm going to have more time for fic in the immediate future-- thanks to an unfortunately serious injury, I'm out of work for the next couple weeks. I'm hoping to be able to use the time to catch up on my reading (both bookish and ficcish), and I'm at least going to be able to keep up with the sunday rewatch!

I'm finishing up a couple of short Speranza podfics for posting some time this week. I've discovered that, as much as I love Speranza's stuff, it's hard for me to read aloud-- her writing and my speaking just don't match up very well. I'd still love to tackle one of her longer pieces, but it'd require even more editing time than is my usual.

In other news, I got an ipad a few weeks ago and it is *awesome* stuff for playing on the internet. And, for a touch typist like myself, it's pretty decent for writing as well. I did most of the work for Transcanada on the ipad, and it was easy-- though some of the formatting errors on AO3 are definitely due to incompatibility between the ipad's pages program, googledocs, and the googledocs program on the ipad. Anyway, as I expected, almost all of the things I would use a computer for I can do just as well, or better, on the ipad-- as well as some things I couldn't do on a computer at all. Which is great, because one of the big reasons to get the thing was to get me off of my partner's computer, so she can use it for her own work.

But, what I haven't found for my new toy- ahem, tool- is any reasonably priced sound editing software. So it's cramping my style, podfic-wise. Possibly, this is for the best, considering how scattered my attention has been, and how limited my time is. So, for now, I'm trying to go with the limits of my tools, and focus my attention on writing.

Podfic: 5 things Fraser does not say

Finally finished podfic project #2: Arrow00's 5 things Fraser does not say to Ray Kowalski.
Fandom: Due South
Pairing: Fraser/RayK
Rated: NC-17
Runtime: 41:41
Mediafire Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?eyrizt2zwz0
Audiofic archive link: http://audiofic.jinjurly.com/five-things-fraser-does-not-say

I took a ridiculous amount of time editing this. I don't think I'll ever actually be happy with my own reading of something.F Every time I listen, there's one more thing I think I could get better, one more spot I could fine tune. Those folks who do many-hour, novel-length podfic readings? Hats off, I have no idea how you do it. I may work up to that with time, but my next few projects will be short ones-- until I finish some of my own fic, and learn how to get past my own perfectionist tendencies!

Feedback is more than welcome, as always.
