Rating: G
Length: 24 m 58 s
Author's summary: One year after the wedding, a procession comes up the mountain from Gont Harbor.
Notes: This was one of my favorite stories from last year's Yuletide! It has Le Guin's appreciation of domestic daily life, and it's full of details that make it come alive. It's also lovely to see Seserakh through Tenar's eyes.

Rating: G
Length: 12 m 35 s
Author's summary: The deeds of women are not often written into songs.
Notes: I signed up for the Fic Corner exchange, but had to default due to writing block. /o\ So I recorded this for my recipient

espresso_addict instead, as a treat. It's been a while since I recorded something, on account of my general decline in fannishness, but I think it went well. This is a lovely little story, too.

Haven't been cross-posting here during Amplificathon, so I thought I'd post a list here instead, sorted into convenient categories. The links go to the LJ amplificathon posts, and you can scroll down to the comments to find permanent links, if the temporary ones have expired. I've marked with an asterisk the ones I think can be listened to even if you don't know the canon at all (although it's hard to draw the line sometimes). Also, consider all of these podfics as story recs, as well!

( A whole lot of podfics in wildly diverse fandoms )

Basically, Alan and Billy went through traumatic dinosaur-related stuff together, and now they're back to being ordinary paleontologists. Also, falling in love.
