luzulaTitle: Horseshoes and Hand Grenades
Author:omphale
Readers:luzula as Benton Fraser, crinklysolution as Ray Kowalski, izzady as Ray Vecchio, and helens78 as Frannie Vecchio and assorted other roles.
Fandom: due South
Characters and pairing: Benton Fraser, Ray Kowalski, Ray Vecchio (preslash Fraser/Kowalski)
Rating: PG-13 for violence
Length: 2 h 27 m 16 s
Author's summary: A midcentury AU, in which there are photographs, parachute troops, invasions, exploding trees, foxholes, misunderstandings, bullets, letters from home, smokejumpers, roommates, and more exploding trees. Ray Vecchio gets a lot of sand in his boots, Benton Fraser gets a little disconnected from reality, and Ray Kowalski gets to jump out of airplanes and maybe fight a war.
Notes: Thanks to the author for letting us record this! It was so rewarding, and collaboration is so much fun, and frankly, I am so proud of this podfic that I could burst. If you don't know due South, you can still listen to this, since it's an AU. Be aware that it's a story about war, though, so check out the warnings on the original story post.
The sound clips separating the sections are from all over. Many of them are from this torrent where you can download a huge collection of WWII radio news clips. I don't know how much time I spent listening to them to find ones that fit! At least I know more about WWII now? In the smokejumper sections, most of the audio is from this 1949 documentary about smokejumping (which, hey, also features a guy firmly grabbing another guy's crotch). The music used is, in order, "The White Cliffs of Dover" with Vera Lynn, "Il est Rythme" with Johnny Hess, "When the Lights Go On All Over the World" with Vaughn Monroe, "What's the Use of Getting Sober" with Louis Jordan, "Bed on the Floor" with Woody Guthrie, and finally "Cold Missouri Waters" with Cry Cry Cry at the end (the only one that isn't period music--it's about the historical event that inspired the end of the fic). The remaining sound clips are mostly from freesound, I think.
podfic_lover beta-listened, and also put together the podbook. There are two versions of it: one plain m4b file with a cover, and one "picturebook version" using the period photos from the original story post as chapter covers. The podbook cover was made by podfic_lover using caersmane's original Big Bang art for the story.

Excerpt: Ray was a sucker for pizza, and so it was over a large half-pineapple, half-extra cheese pizza at Mama Carmela's that Fraser suddenly looked up and said, "We've been friends for some time now, haven't we, Ray?"
Ray had, at that moment, brought a slice of pizza halfway to his mouth, but he'd been married for fifteen years and he knew an important relationship-conversation-opener when he heard one, so he put the pizza down. "Yeah, Fraser. We sure have."
Fraser nodded, like Ray was just confirming something he'd already suspected. "And while we haven't always seen eye to eye on things, it's certainly safe to say that we've established a rapport, right?"
"Right," Ray agreed, and joined Fraser in a hearty round of nodding. "We are just chock full of rapport, you and me."
Reader’s notes: I would like to thank
luzula for her generous and talented contribution of the singing bits, and also my heartfelt thanks go out to izzady for her thoughtful and very helpful beta of this podfic. Also, comments are always very welcome, love to hear what you think of this...Music credits:

Reader’s notes: This podfic has been very greatly improved by the excellent beta work provided by
izzady , betaing a podfic for the first time ever, no less! The finished product is just so much better than my original version, I can’t thank her enough… In a way, this podfic is all her fault, because I heard her recording of another pir8fancier story, A Year (More or Less) in the Life, and it is so damn good that I cannot evict it from my Ipod. This is my first due South podfic, and I may be way late in arriving, but I finally understand why people love this fandom so much – it is very loveable. I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed recording it. podcath

lunchy_munchy and I had a great time recording this during the Seattle leg of her Canada-US summer tour. Recorded during a rainy July day, fueled by too many cups of tea. We decided to keep it more "in the moment" by not rerecording anything, so you may notice a slight decrease in audio quality... To compensate, we thought we'd share a little of the fun with the short gag reel that follows the story.

Summary: Modern AU. When Merlin Emrys gets a summer job at Buckingham Palace, he doesn't expect to even meet King Arthur, let alone become involved in protecting him from a plot to overthrow the monarchy.
Disclaimer: Not mine, Merlin belongs to the BBC. And apologies to the Danish and Dutch royal families; it was nothing personal.
Author’s Notes: This one took an absolute village:
zarah5 was enthusiastic about this from the start, villainny kicked me into a gear a million times when I started to flag, janne_d , doctor_denmark and threequarters all jumped in for last minute beta duties to stop me freaking out, and my mum was always on hand with answers about the royal family even if she had no real idea what she was enabling. Thank you all ♥ And, because this is the fic for amazing fangirls rescuing stranded Tora, the fantastically kind and talented lamardeuse spotted my stray typos and made me cover art.Reader's notes: Thanks very much to my always lovely betas,
podcath and alchemynerd . This is for lunchy_munchy , who I know shares my love of Merlin AUs! 5+1+6+30+2 = 44

Reader's note: I adore comments.
Summary: In a dystopian paradise angel Inquisitor Samuel and rogue human Dean are uneasy allies. Together, they could knock their world from its foundations, but both of them have secrets to keep. AU.
Warnings: Features angel!Sam and hooker!Dean, drug use, profanity, blasphemy, and some damn fine maple pancakes. Please also note: in this story, there is an explosion in which numbers of people die. It's seen peripherally, but there are moral issues involved, and I'd rather you knew about it in advance.
Supernatural/J2 Recs
Mar. 22nd, 2011 09:07 amtwasadark.livejournal.com
With few exceptions, the podfic I listen to is all in the Supernatural/J2 fandom, so that is what this post will focus on. Also, I go through bursts of podfic listening and I’m wildly disorganized with saving my favorites to my delicious account, so this is an incomplete list.
Excellent podfics are a mix of a) pleasant voices, read at an appropriate pace with clear diction, b) technical accuracy, including sound quality and editing skills, and c) the quality/personal preference of the story recorded. Which is to say that all of this is pretty subjective to my personal preferences. The stories below are a mix of short and long and gen and slash.
1. Mind-meltingly HOT stories
juice817 is probably the best known reader in the Supernatural fandom, and with good reason. She has a smooth, lovely voice with excellent diction and primo taste when it comes to story choice. I especially like how she seems to read some parts with a smile in her voice. But Then My Homework Was Never Quite Like This by thenyxie [J2, long]painted_pain has a non-American accent and exquisite pacing and inflection. Plus her story choice is just wonderful. Nothing Says I Love You Like A Punch In The Face by standing_fic [J2, less than an hour]2. Stories that made me laugh
meansprite has the most amazing accent – just a hint of a burr – and beautiful pacing. Her Dean voice is distinctive and her inflection skilled. F*** Me by rockstarpeach [Sam/Dean, less than an hour]reena_jenkins has a pleasant voice and awesome expressiveness – in particular, she's skilled at great line delivery. This Is the Start of a Beautiful Friendship by truelyesoteric [J2, less than an hour]3. Just plain enjoyable stories
superstitiousme sounds like she is whispering to you in the dark. She has a slow, sweet style , and doesn’t skimp on the pauses when necessary. A Kept Boy by poisontaster [RPS, 25+ hours of wonderfulness! Amazing!]cassandra_leeds' voice has a hushed quality of voice and excellent pacing. This story is chillingly wonderful; Bring Me The Disco King by mimblexwimble [Gen, less than an hour]crinklysolution gives a wonderful unhurried read with great inflection and skilled music mixing: Crush by sonofabiscuit77 [Sam/Dean, long]applegeuse is an all around wonderful reader. The Bitch by stele3 [Sam/Dean, around an hour]emerald_embers has a perky voice with a lovely accent. Life Used to Be So Hard by roque_clasique [Gen, less than an hour]
