Here's my first contribution to amplificathon! As I understand it, a mod will see this post and upload the file to the archive, is that right? Or do I need to email them?

Title: Not To Yield

Fandom: Shackleton (tv series)
Pairing: Shackleton/Hurley
Rating: R

Notes: So, this is basically RPS about Antarctic explorers in the beginning of the 20th century. You don't need to know anything about Shackleton beforehand to read/listen to it (I didn't, when I read it). It's written as Shackleton's journal entries, and the rhythm of the language is just lovely--I really enjoyed recording it. The slash is wonderfully understated (and not explicit). Thank you kindly to Kass for letting me record it!

Points: 5 + 1 + 3 + 3 = 12 points

Yay, thanks! I'm so glad you like it. It was quite different to read compared to other podfics I've done, because there's no dialog. So yeah, sometimes it did feel a bit like reading poetry.

And I think I'll have to check out that tv-series. Which one did you base it on? There seems to be several on IMDB.

It's based on Shackleton (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0272839/), which is a gorgeous short miniseries (which draws on the published diaries of the expedition members, and often duplicates images found in Frank Hurley's spectacular photographs; there are a ton of frames in the film which are exact duplications of Hurley's historical photographs. It's amazing, honestly. :-)

Thanks! I'll check it out.
