wherein Liz is podficced! (...is that the right spelling?)

[edenfalling]

I don't listen to podfic myself -- if there is a choice between reading or listening to words, I will almost invariably choose to read -- but it's a neat thing in concept and a lot of people find it convenient or aesthetically pleasing for various reasons, so!

Here are links to three of my stories that have been podficced. (Podficked? Podfic'ed? Podficc'ed? None of these spellings look good, argh.) I listened to them this afternoon, and while I am the furthest thing imaginable from a connoisseur of the medium and also listening to my own words read out loud tends to make me cringe (yes, even when I read them to myself in the privacy of my computer room), I think they're pretty well done.

I'm still kind O_o at the idea of people wanting to read my stuff in public and all, but I have to admit it's flattering. :-)

In Foreign Tongues (Been All Over You), read by Dr_Fumbles_McStupid. Star Trek: AOS. Nyota offered herself as Gaila's sister when they first met -- she greeted Gaila with her name in all openness, the traditional overture to the creation of an in-net -- and Gaila has never regretted accepting that gift.

Sparkly Rainbow Blood, read by opalsong. Homestuck. Prompt: Let's have a thing where going God Tier has made the humans' genetic material and other bodily fluids sparkly and rainbow colored. Then let's take that thing and make it into another thing where we see the reactions of all the trolls to this. GOGOGO! (Includes Rose<3Kanaya, Dave/Terezi/Karkat, and Karkat<>Gamzee)

An Intricate Courtship Process, read by opalsong. Homestuck. Wherein Karkat Vantas asks Dave Strider an important question about quadrants and romantic intentions; after much soul-searching and random digression, Dave gives him an unexpected answer; and Terezi Pyrope's approval is sought for potential kinky shenanigans. Pre Dave/Terezi/Karkat.

I agree! I accept podfic'd, podficced, or podded.

(That right there is probably a hint as to why I prefer reading to listening, too -- printed words are very, very distinct to me, and that really influences how I perceive/interpret a story, not to mention how much depth and nuance I get out of it.)

Yeah! Also, when reading words on a page I can figure out where I want to put the emphasis in a sentence, or how I want to pace a paragraph. When listening to podfic I am at the mercy of someone else's choices. :-/ (On the other hand, sometimes the readers "do the voices," as it were, which can be fun.)
