Amplirecathon 2012: Safety Pods 2: Return of the Safety Pod

[bessyboo]

shhhhh, this was posted 5 hours ago, shhhhh


Last year, I told you about my safety pods--the podfics I whip out when real life is being stupid, and I need to be comforted, for whatever reason. SO now I'm back, to give you my updated list of the podfics I listen to when life just SUCKS, still helpfully sorted into level-of-emotional-emergency!

Some of these have been recced before--by me last year, by other people this year, even by ME this year!--but that doesn't change the fact that...well, this is my safety pod list & order, and so I'm gonna be selfish and just RE-REC THEM :P


NOTE: 4 of the bolded scenarios have actually happened to me in the past year. I'll let you guess which ones.

A Rec Post That Got Much Too Long

[setra]

I was nearly done in time to post on my assigned day... and then I just kept finding more fic to make notes about. I went a bit crazy and just sort of recced all my favorite stories. There will be links for audio versions of many of these recs, but at the moment a giant pile of text is all you get.

I'm going to preface this with a bit about me and Podfic (or audio books in general). All my life I have been a very slow reader, and when I was very intensely into reading fanfiction, it consumed a great deal of my time. Podfic is a life-saver for me. I can listen to stories while working and while driving; I can take my fandom with me.
Most of these stories, I have never seen a word of them in text form, or only saw them when I went to leave feedback for the author. So to me, the podfic version is a bit like the only version of the story, and the two are tied together in my mind. So... that's where I stand, prepare to be spammed.

Two bandom podfics by andeincascade and argentumlupine

[andeincascade]

Rating: Explicit
Time: 09:56

Title: bones to the other side
Author: akamine_chan
Reader: andeincascade and argentumlupine
Fandom: Bandom, My Chemical Romance, Sharktopus (2010)
Characters: Ray Toro, Frank Iero, Gerard Way, Mikey Way, Sharktopus
Rating: Gen
Time: 15:56
Author's summary: Ray knew better. He did.

Everyone knew that the Black Deeps were dangerous and that going there was just asking to get eaten by a wale or ripped apart by a krab or something equally as hideous. They'd all heard the stories. The Deeps were inky dark; no one had ever figured out what caused the blackness that hovered like a giant undersea cloud. So the PTB just fenced it off and warned people and fin away and hoped for the best.

[luzula]

I'm afraid I have no theme whatsoever! I usually keep a list during the year, noting down podfics I especially enjoy for future reccing, and this is what I ended up with.
