Title: Five Times Simon Tam Left Serenity (and then came back)
Author: ana_grrl
Reader: luzula
Fandom: Firefly gen
Rating: PG
Length: 8 m 21 s
Summary: See title, I suppose.
Notes: Recorded for podremix. I didn't actually listen to the original podfic before recording it. I figured that I could always re-record it after I listened if I wanted to, but I couldn't un-listen to the original podfic if I changed my mind. As it turned out, I didn't have any new brilliant ideas after listening to the original podfic (which I enjoyed a lot, btw), so I went with my first recording. There's one thing in the original which was pretty cool and that I didn't think of doing, which is having two voices speaking simultaneously when two characters say the same thing at the same time. Thanks to the author for letting me record it!

Title: A Natural History of the Watch
Author: gloss
Reader: luzula
Fandom: Wilby Wonderful/Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Pairing: Duck/various
Rating: R, perhaps?
Length: 20 m 55 s
Summary: Duck can't imagine doing it in a bed.
Notes: I was kind of hoping I'd be assigned malnpudl to remix, because I love both this story and her reading of it. It's probably the podfic I've listened to the most times. I'd never thought of reading it myself before podremix, but now I got the idea in my head, and did it while I was waiting on author permission for my actual assignment. It was a pleasure to read. Thanks to the author for letting me record it!

Title: The Reaching Out One
Author: alex51324
Reader: luzula
Fandom: due South
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17
Length: 6 h 10 m 35 s
Author's summary: It's ten years after the events of CoTW (in other words, the present day). After the Quest, Fraser and Ray went back to their regular lives--Fraser as a Mountie in Deline, NWT and Ray as a detective in Chicago, IL. Every year they take their vacation time together and look for the hand of Franklin, the reaching out one, and when they run out of time they put a pin in the map and the next year they pick up where they left off. The story begins when Diefenbaker dies and the whole house of cards crumbles. Ray and Fraser have an adventure, confront their feelings, and rebuild their lives on a more solid foundation.

Notes: This is a post-CotW story that feels fresh and new, and I love it to pieces. I'm afraid the recording is a bit uneven, though. I first started it back in October last year, but then I had a cold that lasted for five months, and then came Amplificathon. Now that I listen to the bits I did last fall, I notice that my reading style has changed, partly because of taking singing lessons, and partly because I've speeded up a bit. Also, I've been moving around, so there are different acoustics in different parts of the story. But I don't seem to have the energy to re-record the first half (especially since I already had to do some re-recording because of lost files). I hope you enjoy it anyway. Whew, this was a long project. Thanks to the author for letting me record it!

Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17
Length: 1 h 14 m 26 s
Author's summary: Fraser keeps an eye on Ray for signs of a broken heart.
Notes: This one's a classic. I think the part I enjoyed most here was doing an impression of Bob Fraser singing "Danny Boy" pitched too high for his voice. *g* Thanks to the author for the blanket permission!

Title: The Cinema Show
Author: exeterlinden
Reader: luzula
Fandom: Wilby Wonderful
Pairing: Carol/Buddy, mentions of Duck/Buddy, pre-Duck/Dan
Rating: PG-13
Length: 36 m 10 s
Summary: It is Sunday, the 1st of August, 1923 – and this is the opening day of Wilby Island's first movie theatre.
Notes: Recorded for andeincascade's birthday. This story was posted recently for the C6D Midsummer Challenge, and it's a delightful historical AU for the movie, with an external narrator, which is always a lot of fun to podfic. There are a few gulls crying in the background occasionally, but I decided they were appropriate for the canon and left them in. *g* Thanks to the author for letting me record it!

I think this can be listened to with no knowledge of canon (although it will spoil you for the movie).
