And here is the second of today's two Official Mod Posts. If you are a podfic artist, then one of the bodies of work you know best of all is your own! In the comments below, rec one (or more) podfic(s) of yours that you think stands out, that you want to particularly direct listeners to. And explain why! Interpret the prompt in any way you want—just name a work of yours that you love and talk about why.

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.

I already FBed you but...yes!!! Your Frank is a thing of beauty: angry and self delusional, and both the story and you just play that out so beautifully. I didn't know you were disenchanted with your job, but that might indeed explain the...realness...og Frank's utter frustration. I could SEE him sneer :)
