Amplirecathon: Recs of various lengths, fandoms and formats

Tiny Gems: Great Podfic Under Five Minutes

Time and again I'm amazed by the depth of emotions a podfic can evoke in me regardless of its length.

Fluid by etcetera_cat
Reader: keerawa Fandom: due South
Pairing: F/K-ish
Length: 1:38
Summary: A underwater moment from Mountie on the Bounty.
Podfic: mp3

Only 170 words is this drabble long, but keerawa's lyrical reading transports you instantly into Ray's mind: you feel the cold, the panic and the imminent seduction to just give up.


Fascination by resonant8
Reader: zabira
Fandom: due South
Pairing: F/K
Length: 3:06
Summary: Ray enjoys the view.
Podfic: mp3, audiobook

Scorching hot! Everytime zabira lets Fraser's voice quiver and break, a shiver runs through me.


Light On by lavvyan
Reader: winkingstar
Fandom: SGA
Pairing: John/Rodney
Length: 4:47
Summary: "Leave a light on," John says, "so I can find you again," and Rodney does.
Podfic: mp3, audiobook

lavvyan + winkingstar + wing!fic = heartbreaking beautiful AU.


All your Zombies by kestrelsan
Reader: cybel
Fandom: SPN
Pairing: Gen, Crack
Length: 4:05
Summary: It figured that when Dean finally got a dog, it turned out to be a zombie.
Podfic: mp3, audiobook

cybel has Dean and Sam down cold in this cracktastic, though touching story. Also: Zombie dog!!!




The Long Haul: Great Long Stories that are Worth Every Second

Every Day in Every Way by velocitygrass
Reader: general_jinjur
Fandom: SGA
Pairing: John/Rodney
Length: 5:59:07
Summary: "I'm here to propose an arrangement. Between us. I assume you remember our talk from earlier today and how... challenging dating can be on Atlantis. And since we've established that you're attracted to me, I think it would be mutually beneficial for us to have sex."
Podfic: mp3, audiobook

I might be biased with this story, because general_jinjur read it for me. But she does a fantastic job voicing all the emotions John and Rodney go through, while their relationship slowly develops and they realize what they are to each other: the longing, the confusion, the self-doubts as well as the euphoria and contentment.


The Kids Are Alright by nakedwesley
Reader: nikojen
Fandom: SGA
Pairing: John/Rodney
Length: 5:04:38
Summary: When John Sheppard's father dies, he finds himself faced with an estranged brother, runaway Replicators, and a budding relationship with the ever-complex, frequently annoying Rodney McKay. There is only so much a guy can take before reaching his breaking point.
Podfic: mp3, audiobook

This was nikojen's second podfic ever and she made me fall in love with this story all over again.


The Long Road by triedunture
Reader: suzumenoko
Fandom: Wodehouse's Jeeves & Wooster
Pairing: Jeeves/Bertie
Length: 4:44:33
Summary: A very bad thing happens. And then we must go on.
Podfic: mp3, audiobook

This is a very dark and angsty story in comparison to normal J&W fanfic and suzumenoko does justice to it with a low-key interpretation.




You Crack Me Up: Readers' Excellent Comedic Timing

Clean Plate Club by yin_again
Reader: yin_again
Fandom: SGA
Pairing: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
Categories: crack AU
Length: 40:16
Summary: Rodney looked at the prep area and nodded decisively. “How do you feel about waffles?“ “I love waffles," John said with a grin.“
Podfic: mp3, audiobook

One of my comfort podfics: Rodney is a chef and seduces John with food.


The Doll!verse by kellifer_fic
Reader: counteragent
Fandom: SPN
Pairing: none; Gen
Length: 33:32
Summary: Dean is a doll. Literally.
Podfic: mp3, audiobook

I'm still waiting for the episode, where either Dean or Sam is transformed into a doll. Though I fear it can't get better than this crack.


The 'A Few Quiet Drinks' Series by jadesfire2808
Reader: jadesfire2808
Fandom: Torchwood/Discworld
Pairing: Gen
Length: 33:03 in total
Summary: Some bars have a very special type of regular customer.
Podfic: mp3

When Ianto and a lisping Igor share their crappy work day with each other or Gwen gets relationship advice from an orang-utan, I can't stop a big, goofy smile.




Freeform: This Podfic Is Not Like The Others...

...or in other words: Ideas that make my podficcer's heart beat faster.

The Epic Tale of Rodney & John, Two Girl Scout Cookies in Love [The Pix or it Didn't Happen Remix] by bitter_crimson
Reader: busaikko
Fandom: SGA
Pairing: John/Rodney
Length: 9:38
Podvid: mp4, avi

This podfic is listed as podvid in the audiofic archive, because busaikko combined her reading with the images imbedded in the story. It's as bitter_crimson summarized 'a podfic with visual cookie porn aids!', cracktastic and very explicit! It's also suitable for people with hearing problems (no music or sound effects).


And Be One Traveler by amireal and trinityofone
Reader: full cast
Fandom: SGAxSGA RPF
Pairing: John/Rodney/David Hewlett
Length: 7:46:52
Podvid: mp3, audiobook

Even if RPF isn't normally your cup of tea or if it's not your fandom, please try this podfic. Just think of it as a science fiction story. With an ensemble of 32 readers it's like an audio drama. Every character has its own voice and every chapter two different narrators for the two intertwined POVs.

I'm glad you like Light On! :) It's definitely my favourite of the ones I've recorded. lavvyan's story is so amazing.

I'm looking forward to checking out some of your other recs.

[podfic_lover]

'Light On' is my instant-comfort podfic.

Have fun listening to the other podfics!

[jesse_the_k]

Thanks for awesome recs!

You list the Jooster fic The Long Road as "Pairing: John/Rodney", which made me do a double-take: SGA meets POG Wodehouse for the wuht?

[podfic_lover]

Thank you for catching that! I should really use blank templates only.

[izzady]

Just wanted to say thanks for the recs. I haven't listened to any of the ones in the long podfic section, so whee!

Also, I had forgotten about 'A few quick drinks' and I will have to go dig it up again, because it rocked!

[podfic_lover]

My pleasure!
