Final Day of Amplirecathon: Self-Rec Post

[klb]

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 pretty much universally feel that way about everything I spend more than twelve hours doing until like six months after the fact. It's sort of, like. "Yes, I recognize that this is an impressive achievement and I am proud of it, but also I kind of hate it with every fiber of my being."

For the most part, I finish things and go "wow, I really never want to hear myself say the word Mark again," because when I do things I don't stop until I have to (otherwise I don't finish). So I edit all my longer podfic straight through and pretty much only stop to sleep or eat. It's like a special form of unusual torture that results in me going "please, I just want this to be over." Then, six months later, I'm just like "oh, cool. I did something mildly awesome, go me."

But yeah! I have a video podfic planned (because I got "record in a new location" for podfic bingo), but I kind of need to sit on the lawn at my school for ~twenty minutes and talk to a camera. I also have to memorize the general gist of the story so I'm not constantly looking at notes, which is probably the easiest part of the process because my Speech and Debate event was Storytelling. I think it's more fun for me to be on camera so everyone can see the silly things I'm doing with my hands, and I'm trying to think of more fics that would be interesting to watch and not just listen to. We'll see how that goes.
