Day One (a day late) of Podfic Awareness Week

[reena_jenkins]

Eeeep! I totally meant to post this yesterday, but....I forgot. So, anyway, here's my little rambling-podcast-of-non-edited-stream-of-consciousness contribution to Day One of Podfic Awareness Week! (Also, let's consider this the test-run for my new box.net account, since it's got the streaming option. Let me know what you think?)

Podfic: it's an

Long rambling podcast equals long rambling comment:

Oh~, Tape! That makes me all nostalgic. <3 In Germany, there are two series (one with a talking elephant and one with a young witch who also sometimes was at a farm. It makes sense in context. There were crossovers! It was AWESOME!)everyone listened to when they were young. There were bajillions of episodes on tape.

Anyway! Thanks for posting this! I love hearing about people's personal fandom history, it's just really interesting to me.

Fandom is just such a boundary ruiner. Sure, younger self, you're never going to read RPF.

Pod_aware has been really great so far, hasn't it? I'm enjoying the hell out of all these podcasts and tutorials (I finally found a good editing software! That apparently everyone and their mom has been using for forever? <.<'').

You're going to do a podcast for every day then? I'm looking forward to it. <3

Also: yaaay new MCR podfic! *does a little happy dance*

((Oh, I sent you an email earlier, I hope it gets through. *crosses fingers*))

Re: Tape
We had all these Disney books-on-tape - the novelizations of movies, and all the Little Golden Books, and a whole bunch of singalong-type stories with bonus Disney medleys.... good times, good times. I actually think we still have a few in the basement, even though we don't actually have a tape-player/stereo anymore.

THIS. THIS IS TRUEFAX. SHAMEFUL, SHAMEFUL TRUEFAX.

Also, hooray for new audio-editing! Does this mean I can look forward to pre-betaing some podfic, someday? *not-subtle hint is not subtle* And, yeah - I'm either going to do a podcast or a podfic each day this week.

(PS - can I make my new pretty into a podfic-ish icon? Because it is very very pretty.... ^___^)

[the24thkey]

Ahaha~, yeah, probably. I've already looked through potential fics to record, but I don't want to do it at the dorms, so it'll have to be a weekend-thing. I'll let you know as soon as I have something. :D

(Yes, of course! Though you should use the version I put up on my journal, I accidentally sent you the wrong one per email. <.<'' )

The J2 Twilight Remixxx can be found here (but, be warned: this was the very first thing I ever recorded in GarageBand, and so I had not quite learned things like the proper distance between mouth and microphone).

I can say: I'm listening to an audiobook or a podcast!
I do this all the time! Also, apparently, V has started to notice a pattern of when I'm listening to audiobooks versus when I'm listening to music - when I'm listening to music, I stare vacantly into the distance. When I'm listening to an audiobook, I start "smiling for no reason. It's really creepy!" (direct quote) I'm always like, how can I help it if the story is emotionally intense? And then she usually smacks me on the shoulder and calls me a nerd.

I feel like I have more…tolerance for podfic. “Patience” is a more appropriate word. I’m sometimes more willing to listen to something and let myself experience all of it, than I am when reading it. I kow exactl what you mean. I think part of it is that, as a reader, you can speed up and just skim past stuff in the text

Thanks for recording this! Any chance you happen to have another downloading option? Box.net is saying you're out of bandwidth (for downloading, I assume, not for streaming). If not, no worries. :)

[reena_jenkins]

So, I was looking at my box account, and it said that I had already used up 117% of my monthly bandwidth....which, um, I don't understand how that's possible - I only opened the account on Saturday, and the first time I uploaded something was Tuesday.....and I know I'm not that popular ;-)

But, I did put the ramble o' podficcitude up on megaupload as well. The link's up top, for your downloading pleasure.

Oddly, we have much in common!

Chlorine--no way!

But more relevantly, I was a huge consumer of books on tape in the dark ages, progressing to books on CD then--oh joyous day!--I eventually discovered audible.com.

I, too, made myself computer generated podfics, which I then made into audiobooks on my Mac, and well, the rest is history!

And what lovely history it is, too! Actually, I think I've still got some of the computerized-voice podfics stashed on my external harddrive somewhere. I should go find them, and make sure I actually recorded all the stories in question....

So, like 2 months later, I'm only now getting a chance to listen to the pod_aware stuff I missed while I was busy modding.

Re: mhalachaiswords, I HAD THE SAME NAME DILEMMA! I wasn't sure if it was swords or 's words and panicked over it for a bit. Then I noticed that on the Audiofic Archive (since some of her fic had already been recorded, she had a tag there) she was just listed as "Mahalachai"), which, now that I think about it, doesn't actually solve the question of whether it's swords or 's words at the end, but to my brain that meant it was 's words. Huh
