Podfic: The Devil Really Does Wear Prada

[sadcypress.livejournal.com]

Story title: The Devil Really Does Wear Prada
Story author: balefully
Read by: sadcypress
Fandom: Crossover: Supernatural, The Devil Wears Prada
Pairing: Sam/Dean, Sam/OMCs implied.
Rating: NC-17
Format: *.mp3
Approximate length: To record this BEHEMOTH, I broke it into sections following the divisions balefully used when she posted. They're not proper chapters, so I didn't make any reference to them as I recorded- just listen to them in order and we'll all live happily fabulously ever after.

Part 1: 55.07 mins
Part 2: 48.27 mins
Part 3: 58.14 mins
Part 4: 54.42 mins
Epilogue: 4.49 mins

Total: 3 hrs, 33 mins and 19 secs


Author's Summary: An AU crossover with The Devil Wears Prada. What if Sam were a little more…fabulous? Jess never died, John goes missing much later, and Dean. Well. He's in for quite a surprise.

Point value: 5 + 1 + (1 + 1 + 3) = 11


Reader's Notes: If there's ANYONE in the SPN fandom who hasn't read this fic yet, GO NOW AND DON'T TALK TO ME UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE SO. Tell balefully that she is AMAZING (I could never have done this in a MILLION YEARS without her help- I am fashion illiterate and if I mispronounced your favorite designer, all the blame rests upon me) and then maybe come back here and snag this for your next solo road trip. ;)

Feedback is what keeps Sam's Sedu Ultrapower hairdryer running in middle America.

*** If you snagged when originally posted on 6-02-08, there was a dumb amateur mistake a complex technical error in the original Part 1 mp3 and now the podbook (6-5-08) that have now been fixed!

ETA: For those who are podbookly inclined, cybel has clearly cut a deal with a Crossroads demon, as she has whipped up the podbook in LIGHTNING speed. She's uploaded it here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/lk7z4s

ETA2 These now have a happy home in the archive, thanks to general_jinjur:

Oh my God! What a perfect fit of story and reader! I can't wait to listen, and 'booking will be so easy, what with the art already existing!

[sadcypress.livejournal.com]

Oh, I was TERRIFIED to read this one- it's easily the hardest story I've ever tackled! I hope you enjoy it, love! :)

[cybel]

Of course I will!

I'm attempting, God and LJ willing, to contact Joosetta about using her epilog illo for the cover of the podbook. I sent a message via LJ email since comments on her journal are friends locked.

Soon as I hear from her, I'll get the podbook done. Or, you know, make an inferior cover myself if needs be.

As one of the few persons who doesn't have read this story already, I skip that step and snatch me your podfic to devour. Many Thanks for taking on this lindworm :)!

[sadcypress.livejournal.com]

Oh, yay! I'm so pleased to spread the love for this story around! It was one of the very first things I read in the fandom and is probably at the root of a LOT of my love for sticking the boys in wacky AU settings. ;) Hope you enjoy it!

[podfic-lover.livejournal.com]

No Doubt I will enjoy it. If someone is willing to invest so much time, effort and dedication, it must be more the good :).

[parisindy.livejournal.com]

gah! i want to download it but mediafire doesn't work for me
do you have it anywhere else?

[sadcypress.livejournal.com]

Yikes! Yes- I will upload it to Sendspace, if that works for you? cybel has also compiled the podbook in MIRACULOUS speed here (http://www.sendspace.com/file/u49odk), but I can definitely do individual mp3s for you if that wouldn't work and/or float your particular boat. :)

[parisindy.livejournal.com]

thank you thank you the pod books is great! i don't know why the other doesn't work for me anymore it used to!

[sadcypress.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't put it past ANY of the hosting websites to get in a snit and not work for random people- it's happened to me often enough! Glad there's an easy way for you to get the files- hope you enjoy! :)

[parisindy.livejournal.com]

it is weird cause its just all of a sudden

and thanks again :)

[cybel]

The 'book is here. You'll add it to your posts and pimp it to the Newsletter? I'll post it to podslash; if you want me to post elsewhere, too, just yell.

[sadcypress.livejournal.com]

Good lord, woman- that was FAST! I'll edit it in now! :)

[cybel]

Hey, they're easy peasy if I don't have to make a cover, and joosetta answered me right away. So--waves my wand--'tis done!

[sadcypress.livejournal.com]

Ummm, question. So I discoverd a dumb mistake from editing in the first part AFTER I posted- I've edited it in my mediafire links, but I know the podbook still has the error. Is this something that could be swapped easily in the podbook file? NO PRESSURE- it's not a big mistake, just one that makes me smack my forehead and feel like a fool for not catching it myself. I just need to arrange for everyone who listens to get distracted 50 mins in... ;)

[cybel]

No problem! I'll just recompile from the new version and change the posted link, with a note. general_jinjur is very good about updating changes, too, and it doesn't effect her link since she names them herself. So link me to the new file, and it will just take a minute.

Sigh, wish I'd had a chance to listen first, maybe I'd have caught it.

[sadcypress.livejournal.com]

AMAZING. :) The new link is here: http://www.mediafire.com/?tl2x4l7xdzt And hey- I didn't catch it, either! balefully was the one who pointed it out to me and oh, the shame! ;) It's utterly my fault, as I just didn't listen to the first part before posting- I DID proof the other parts, but foolishly assumed the first was fine. *headdesk*

[cybel]

Here's the new link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/lk7z4s

I'll update at podslash and send the correction to general_jinjur.

[sadcypress.livejournal.com]

Thank you SO MUCH- I felt like such a goober when I found the mistake. :) I'll fix the entries here and at motelwincest.

[sadiane.livejournal.com]

You have made my day! It is no longer "crappy Monday", it's "the end of a crappy Monday, with really long, likely hilarious podfic to look forward to tomorrow!" You win.

[sadcypress.livejournal.com]

Yay! I hope you enjoy it! \o/

Oooh, downloading the podbook. Thank you!

Yay! Hope you enjoy! :)

[novojo.livejournal.com]

I am downloading the podbook. Thank you.

[sadcypress.livejournal.com]

Thanks- I hope you enjoy it!

[crinklysolution.livejournal.com]

So excellent! This seems like a difficult read, and your interpretation was just smashing...

[saba1789.livejournal.com]

I actually hadn't read the story before listening to your podfic of it but that was totally okay because you did a great job reading this and I really enjoyed listening. Thanks for doing this! <3

[ash48.livejournal.com]

I had to pop in and say that I have just finished listening to this and it was brilliantly read. I'm adoring anything you read. Thank you so very much.
:)

[applegeuse.livejournal.com]

DUDE. Thank you so much for recording this! I enjoyed it immensely and listened to it while on a recent roadtrip. :D I really appreciated how much enthusiasm you bring to your reading, and it worked really well. You pulled off all the accents flawlessly. :D Totally impressed and totally jealous. Additionally, I know nothing about fashion, and you pronounced things I would've had no idea how to say. Props to you! Also, I loved the way you read Miranda--absolutely flawless interpretation! ♥ Thanks again for recoding this--it was exceedingly enjoyable!
