Blanket permission thought + podfic + "making-of"

[greedy_dancer]

My post for today contains two different things: first, my thought about blanket permission, and then a podfic I recorded and edited this afternoon, while documenting the whole process, kind of like a making-of. I'm cutting both parts, so if you just want to get to the finished product, just scroll down!

Blanket permission is a way for fan

Oh man, no! That's totally not the point here /o\ If you want to record, you should. I'm not saying this is what everyone should do, and I certainly don't want to intimidate people out of podficcing, you know? Different podficcers have different editing regimes, more or less stringent, I just happen to have crazy expectations and insecurities that I try to address through editing...

But, as I was saying to... someone, somewhere (all the podfic discussion these days makes it hard to keep track! lol) in the end if you love a recording? Editing doesn't really matter. I remember my favourite stories as absolutely flawless, but when I listen to them again, especially since I started podficcing myself, I realize they're NOT perfect. You can hear background noise (computer chair creaking, click of the mouse...), the reading is sometimes quite fast... many little things that I never actually pay attention to, because the reading and the story are so beautiful and so important to me that they don't compute.

So, you know, I'd hate to be the one who made you not try it if you want to. And you know what, if you do record, and WANT it edted but don't have the time or don't know how? You can always send me the file and I'll see what I can do! :)
