This is probably annoying but meant with love: Friend people you like. Seriously. Most people read LJ posts via their flist, and you've only got the six of us friended right now, and none of us know anything about podfic, so none of us can help you. People loved your podfic and would love to hear more from you and would be happy to have you on their flist, I'm sure.

Other places to post this question:
- podfic_tips
- podficmeta @ Dreamwidth.

Did I give you a DW invite? I don't have any left, but people post invite codes here.

I'll also share a link to this post on my LJ. Good luck, dude. I personally don't know the mores of podficcing and see why you're conflicted. Are there any free comedy stories left? You're so fucking awesome at comedy.

Anyway, sorry if this post sounds condescending as fuck. IT'S MY DEFAULT MODE, I CAN'T STOP IT. *hugs*

Man, I don't even ask to friend people, unless they're Friends Only. I hit the button, they can friend me back or not. THEY WILL NOT BE OFFENDED. IF THEY ARE, UM... FUCK THAT SHIT.

Here via wemblee. I think the standard understanding among most podficcers is that it's totally OK to record a story again. Some have done this on purpose to look at the different interpretations (anatsuno and jinjurly posted a story they'd both recorded together ( ... )

Thank you so much for the insight and advice!

and yeah, I've never understood the 'It's all been done' mindset that can occur in fandom either.

Again, thank you! I'm off to check out amplificathon. (I assume it's a lj community?)

Yes, amplificathon is actually on LJ and DW and is the podfic clearing house. Most folks announce their fic there, there are fests and things, and it's run by jinjurly, the queen of podfic (or rather, runner of the archive :) Friend her! She's totally friendly and loves everything related to podfic. (Tell her I told you to do it :)

Re above. I don't advertise my podfic and do often feel like a podfic bandit.

Really: podficcers are a friendly folk!!! come join and friend :)
