POD-TOGETHER LIGHTNING ROUND 1 - I DID STUFF!
I did Pod_Together Lightning, Round One! I signed up as both an author and a podficcer, and I was incredibly fortunate on both counts.
I got paired up with the amazing
sklee for my authorial project, and I've gotta say, it was a FANTASTIC experience. We had matched up on a number of different fandoms, but somehow it ended up with me dumping a bunch of plot-bunny nonsense onto Twitter, and then hoping
sklee didn't laugh me off the internet. The fact that any of it's worth listening to at all is totally on
sklee's performance - like, I was listening to some previews of the podfic, and was blown away by how much better it all sounded, outside my own head. So that's something.
The project that
sklee and I ended up with? A Stargate: Atlantis-Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fusion, aptly titled Five Ways To Join The Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division. The fic runs about 2200 words, is set pre-Thor 2, and borrows more heavily from comics canon than it probably should, but... well, I really like the idea of Teyla as a Norn. Also, I was left with some heavy "Asgard is kind of a butt" feelings after seeing The Dark World, and they might show up in Teyla's and Ronon's perspectives. You can check out the official post HERE, complete with podfic, coverart, and nifty section dividers. Go listen! Go download! Go kudos!
-AND-
As a podficcer, I was paired up with somnolentblue - who not only found the time to plan and run pt-lightning, but also to write a kickawesome and hilarious Nightmare Before Christmas fic. Do you love cooking via correspondence? Food puns? Sound effects? Terry Pratchett jokes? The general universe of Halloween Town? Then Scream of Wheat is the podfic for you. Check out the official post OVER HERE, for coverart, podfic streaming and downloading, and nifty scene dividers. And then, tell us how much you love it!
In the podfic of Scream of Wheat, I used a LOT of sound effects to create an immersive listening experience. And now I need to credit all the sources of those effects. Here comes the list:
