Two fandoms I got sucked into by podfic

[laurie-ky.livejournal.com]

I haven't hardly had time to listen to a lot of the podfic generated with the contest, but two brand new fandoms to me that I enjoyed were Jeeves/Wooster The Ruse to Save Jeeves written and read by triedunture and a magical version of Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander world by astolat and read by leviticus_lied called Duende, found here

ETA> I goofed! I was supposed to do this in comments but got distracted and posted it instead. Sorry.

HEY. I don't mind your splashing my name up and down the comm.

I'm glad I could help spread the love for astolat's work - she's an amazing author. She writes for other fandoms, as well.

Does a cannon ball to really splash your name around.

I listened to the other Jack and Steven podfics you did this morning while I was walking. Really liked them too. Glad you chose them for the contest.
And I'm betting you are one of the winners.

I think posting to the comm instead of in the comments of the modpost is perfectly okay! I even think that was the mods' plan all along. As long as one tags the posts - as you've done - then it's all fine and dandy. :))

I re-read that post and I don't know exactly why I got the notion it was to be done in comments ::scratches head:: Glad it's all cool.
And the "will fuck for sex" id thing made me laugh.

Your confusion is precious though, it show the modpost wasn't clear enough! muhahaha, now I know what to post about next. (but only after dinner)

and whee! I crack myself up often, but I like it better when it amuses others too. :D

yes! posting is awesome. comments are okay, too, but posts get more attention!

Good.

I totally agree about the Jeeves stories read by dodificus and triedunture. They were all excellent stories and excellent readings, and I haven't thought about Jeeves and Wooster in years, hadn't even realized there was a fandom for it!

I haven't heard The Master and Commander one yet, but I adore astolat, the movie, and leviticus_lied's podfics, so I'll be sure to hunt it up!

Thanks for the recs!

Agreed. I recall being a fan of J&W on the telly back when it was on (good old Fry and Laurie!), but I only rediscovered my fandom thanks to dodficus' and triedunture's podfics. So, yay!

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

D'oh, credit where it's due. dodificus. There is in this case an iota of difference.

[cybel]

Indeed, and I enjoyed making covers for the podbook versions, too. Those faces are a joy to work with!

[laurie-ky.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you'll like the Master and Commander one -- it was so cool to add the magical elements in with such an understated fashion. I like Patrick O'Brian's stories but I loved the way astolat altered it. I prefer her version.

I'll definitely give it a listen. I've 'booked all of astolat's podics I have come across, so I hope I can do this one as well.

[cybel]

I listened today, and you were right: Duende was wonderful. Thanks for the rec.

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

Wow, thanks so much for the rec. I'm so pleased to see that these pods exposed new people to the Jeeves and Wooster fandom! It's the sweetest little fandom ever, and if you want to check out tons of lovely fics and art, you can visit the indeedsir comm. It's great!
