Amplirecathon 2011: 2 TXF stories read by their authors + bonus TXF insta!rec

[idella]

There isn't a lot of X-Files audiofic out there (and I haven't even listened to all that does exist), but a couple of newer authors in the fandom have produced short (under 20 min) recordings of their own stories that are well worth a listen or twenty.

audiofic read by the author

I already loved these stories, but listening to their authors read them adds another layer of enjoyment; it's like hearing a little meta-commentary on the text every time I listen.

Where the Currents Lead | written and read by juniperphoenix
The X-Files | Mulder | download link(s)

This is stream-of-consciousness fic that seems to flow effortlessly, and juniperphoenix reads with a kind of wry awareness that is perfect for Mulder.


Out of the Forest | written and read by tree
The X-Files | Mulder/Scully | download link(s)

tree is soft-spoken and articulate, and she does a great job alternating between a playful tone (her quiet glee is apparent) and a sexy one, as indicated by the story.


bonus insta!rec

Ghosts | written by torch | read by podcath
The X-Files | Mulder/Krycek | download link(s)

I confess that I have not actually finished this. Hence the instant-ness of the rec. In my defense: it's over nine hours long, it's the kind of thing you want to make last, and my posting day is today. Not in my defense: podcath's reading is excellent. Her voice is clear and almost lulling, and she's good at altering her tone to suit each character. I'm especially enjoying her arch Krycek, but the whole thing is moreish.

Thanks for these, and I adore your LGM icon.

[idella]

I hope you enjoy them!

Oh! Thanks for these! I'd just been bemoaning to someone about the apparent lack of much X-Files audiofic. :D

[idella]

I hope you enjoy. :)

(I won some audiofic for help_japan and I'm going to try to get more TXF stories recorded.)

[ghostgum]

Oh, cool! :)

[podcath]

I couldn't believe when i saw Ghosts recced! Thank you so much! i'm so glad you're enjoying the character tones--I like that description, bc I don't really do voices, but I do try to distinguish them... And while I tend to prefer longer fic, I think i'll give those two others a try (bc there is indeed a severe lack of XF podfic).

FWIW, I've started recording the sequel, which I like even better...

!!! This is seriously the best news I've had all week. I hope the recording process is going well for you, and I can't wait to listen!

[podcath]

Oh, thank you! I'm going very slowly and apparently unlike many other podfic readers, i edit ridiculously slowly. So it'll be a while. But I've gotten QAF out of my system for now, I think, so Lovers will be my only recording...

*cheers you on*

[juniperphoenix]

Eeeeee, what a nice surprise! Thank you for the rec.

[idella]

Thank you for writing your story and recording it. :)

[lunate8]

Oh yay, X-files! Now I want to listen to these and re-read some older stories. Thanks! :) (YAY LGM!)

[idella]

I hope you find something here to enjoy. :)
