Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
A Podfic:
Flip Shut Hang Up - by
twentysomething &
thehoyden - Hockey RPF - Sidney/Geno & Sid/Ovechkin friendship.
This podfic brought me out of a particularly painful slump. In November I had an essay, insomnia, migraines, period pain of debilitating proportions and general why do I suck???? feelings! I had to cancel on my father (a football game) to babysit, and the work was cancelled at the last minute, the internet and television connections failed so I couldn't even WATCH the game. ALL BAD THINGS! Instead I podficced this story and was SO happy doing it and Alex's voice was so FUN and everything just felt a million times better once I'd finished. This is the only podfic of mine that I have listened to for fun, listening to it soothes me and makes me smile and makes me happy!
A Rec List:
I have A LOT of podfic feelings!! If you only listen to ONE podfic in a fandom! A rec list of podfics (in my opinion) you should listen to, regardless of fandom knowledge or not. I tried to put together a comprehensive list, for people who like to listen beyond their fandoms (like me) or want to use podfic as a gateway to a new fandom.
A BP List:
2012 is the year I got MEGA enthusiastic about transformative works. I'm pretty proud of my Hockey RPF BP LIST OF DOOM list. I saw something I didn't like in a fannish space I wanted to make camp, and instead of whining all over twitter (well I did that too), I made the bp list, asked around and due to word of mouth and some good contacts, I got the list from 3 to nearly 30 (about 20 of those names were new people) \o/ Thanks for spreading the word should go to just-katarin
