RAVEN CYCLE. HI FRIEND!

Overly enthusiastic greeting, maybe but I am so here for any and all Raven Cycle everything.

...one more month, one more month...

HI! EQUALLY ENTHUSIASTIC RESPONSE! :D

I was giving thought to attempting some kind of informal TRC fan get together at the con. The panel didn't make it through, but there were at least 9 other people who were interested enough to vote for it.

T-MINUS 29 DAYS TO COMPLETE EMOTIONAL DESTRUCTION! Probably at the exquisite hands of Adam Parrish in some form. I regret everything and yet nothing.

Yes!! A TRC get together would be amazing. I can bring all the TRC fanvids on my external hard drive.

Adam Parrish *flails* I don't even know what to do with myself, the suspense is killing me (or rather I'm distracting myself with All for the Game feels since for some reason the characters in that series also hit my Raven Cycle happy buttons so it's a good focus to get me through the existential wailing till April 26th).

...If you have any particular interest in joint podficcing something Raven Cycle at the con, I would be 110% down for that. I won't have a laptop, but I'll have my phone, which I think records things okay(?).

Vidssss yesssss~ I'm so happy there are vids in this fandom. I've never been to this con before, so I'm not 100% on the best time/place for a get together, but I definitely want to make it happen somehow.

I'm going to start the Foxhole Court soon! I think Captive Prince might beat it out in terms of priority for me though. I'm getting intensely left in the dust on both fandoms atm.

I was just thinking of putting something on the podfic google doc TRC, but haven't had a chance to go fic hunting yet. So I would absolutely love to joint podfic something! :D

I saw you posted on the main con page, I will look forward to seeing what comes of that. So far I don't have a whole lot on offer for potential podfic shenanigans, but!

http://archiveofourown.org/works/3907195 this is super cute and the author has BP as long as you ask, which I have so hopefully that's set if we want to do it. Bluesey and Pynch, Blue POV

http://archiveofourown.org/works/5464454 I wrote this for Yuletide this year and its dialogue heavy, Blue & Ronan friendship fic, so that could be fun with two voices (though it's long so that'd be like 1.5hr of recording at least?).

Captive Prince is an excellent choice! There's definitely a stronger/larger fannish presence there (I think).

Ha! I totally have yours recced and in my pinboard and marked as "The continuing adventures of lovelorn bros, Blue and Ronan." and I love love love Blue and Ronan friendship stories, but I'm the type of podficcer who trips over her words all the time, so it'd probably end up being a lot longer than 1.5 hours and not feasible. :(

I have previously read and kudosed the other option though, so that would be lovely! I'm going to poke around some of my other bookmarks tonight and tomorrow morning to see if I can't dig some more short-ish options too. (Damn my love of longfic.)

I'm 99% certain permission would be a sure thing if we wanted to record something momebie/katilara/charmingpplincardigans has written, although outside of tumblr ficlets I don't think there's much there too choose from that's on the short side.

Yes I got a semi-blanket go-ahead when I asked to podfic all the tumblr things a while ago so I'd be totally happy to do any of that! I love KL's work, but haven't sorted through tumblr for fic recently, any suggestions you have in likely to tho k are A+

You know I've been dying to get to this one and this one, but they're both nearly 100% narration and not great for co-podficcing purposes.

There's this Blue and Ronan one that might work?

We could theoretically do alternating bullet points if you wanted on the bullet point one? Though you're right both are more narration single character based than dual character or dialogue focused. (you should definitely record them, yes :D)

Blue & Ronan \o/ it's got a reasonable amount of dialogue and it's delightful ^__^ We could definitely do that. Between that one and the Blue POV pynch fic I think we've got excellent choices!! \o/ huzzah!

I was looking for a new e-book to read and remembered all the Raven Cycle love at BP. Guess what has since been d/l to my Kindle and is waiting for me in bed tonight? :-D Seeing all the glee for the series really sold it for me!
