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

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!

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

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

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.

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