I'd like to rec my Bandom podfic The Happiest Fuckin' Place on Earth (TM). Disneyland AU! Frank the cranky cynical maintenance guy falls in love with Gerard the starry-eyed energetic Mickey Mouse fanatic. It is one of my favorite stories of all time. When the bandombigbang claims were going up I had actually typed my comment into Notepad beforehand so I could paste and claim because I was so eager to work on this one. SUCH IS MY LOVE FOR THIS STORY.
I recorded a good chunk of this during a period where I was feeling completely burned out on my own job, and I think the undercurrent of bitterness fits with Frank's cranky POV. Reading some of his more vicious dialogue was cathartic. Overall, I'm really proud of the character voices (there were a LOT of characters and I didn't realize this until after I got going, so finding voices for them all was a challenge) and the overall performance (particularly in part 3 with Frank's rant and the emotional climax) and the sound effects (I learned how to do a walkie-talkie effect in Audacity \o/).
I am really happy with how the podfic turned out and I keep going back to listen to it.
