Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to the Micro-Battle of Epic Proportions.

I went into this year's Amplificathon knowing that the only prize I could realistically win was the one for shortest podfic. Apparently

analise010 had the same idea :) I challenged her to battle, she accepted and... it escalated from there... Next thing I know, I was boasting I had a

Sarshi and woke up with a bunch of tiny, tiny ficlets in my inbox and dragging

theothershiroki into it as well (she provided the adorable banner :D )

My worthy opponent's post can be found over at "The Podfic Haiku Series"

Enjoy the battle :D

Fandom: American Revolution RPF (listed as "revolutionary era figures (united states)" in the audiofic archive)
Pairing: Alexander Hamilton/George Washington
Rating: R
Length: 1 h 8 m 54 s
Author's summary: All the awkwardness of seeking a volunteer for an attempt, which every soldier was convinced was as good as asking a man to cast away his life to no purpose, naturally recommended Colonel Hamilton's offer; in any case, Washington allow'd himself to be persuaded, and the operation was carried out an hour later, in a deserted and fallow field some half a mile from the encampment.

Notes: This was fun to read! It's basically historical slash, only with magic, and you don't need any background knowledge.

Download or stream here.

Points: (5+10)*4 = 60 (I was 66 seconds from the next length bonus...*sigh*)

Fandom: "Worst Journey in the World", by Apsley Cherry-Garrard (or more generally Polar Explorer RPF)
Pairing: Apsley Cherry-Garrard/Henry Robertson "Birdie" Bowers
Rating: PG
Length: 54 m 01 s
Author's summary: Oh that it were possible / After long grief and pain / To find the arms of my true love / Around me once again. Cherry and Birdie go, and find, home.
Notes: I am sure no one is surprised that I am recording fic about Antarctic explorers in love! Talk about pushing my buttons. Anyway, this is a sweet and tender story that I think anyone can enjoy, regardless of how much you know or don't know about Scott's expedition. Thanks to the author for letting me record it!

Link at Box.

Trying out a new host, so do tell me if it works for you! If you click the link, you should be able to either download the file or listen to it streaming.

errr...: For my fortieth birthday, I wanted to write 40 shorts. I wrote interleaving mythologies/fandoms/whatever in a mad rush in the morning with the odd edit in between. This melange of myth legend and huh is the result.

So, this either comes out to be:
reader(5)+length(3)+fandoms(175) unless all myths are one fandom (70)+pairings(245)+length (3) = 431 or 326, I guess.

( why yes, that's a lot of random and the kitchen sinking. )

Fandoms: Badass Women in History RPF; A Proud Taste for Scarlet and Miniver by E.L. Konigsburg

Author's summary: Eleanor of Aquitaine is tired of waiting for her husband Henry to come Up and join her in Heaven. She'd much rather pass the time going on a Grand Tour of the divine realms with a few good friends...

Content notes: gen; no standard notes apply. Author's rating: general audiences.

Download or Stream: at the Archive of Our Own (to reduce time spent fighting linkrot). If AO3 is down, check out my reader page at the audiofic archive or my Google Drive.

Reader's note: an appetizer for the Awesome Ladies Podfic Anthology II; this was recorded for that anthology but not included because of mutual miscommunication.

Feedback and constructive criticism: better than Grand Tours, divine or earthly.

amplificathon and AO3.
