( holy crapola, how did i get so far behind on my amp12 posting? )
Oh. My. Jeebus. I am so far behind it's not even funny. FOUR days! Urgh. (I probably shouldn't be taking the Lord's name in vain, either - earlier today we were doing Holy Thursday stuff, and I pointed out that the Disciples couldn't have been paying attention too well if Jesus was all, "I'm giving this bread to the traitor," and then HANDED JUDAS A ROLL and somehow they were still surprised by it....and then I spilled wine ALL OVER MY NEW SKIRT. Clearly, Jesus was punishing me for disparaging Him.)
Anyway, SO MANY BELATED PODFICS. I may never catch up.
AMP12: Day 20 (04/02/12)
If Anyone Asks, written by lalejandra - post-split Twitfic Panic not!fic, with Spencer getting a PhD, and Brendon initiating a blood brothers ceremony, and Ryan walking out on Spencer after their commitment ceremony, "and then they somehow get back together and are in love forever the end!" (But I'm not telling who has the happy ending - you'll have to listen to find out.)
The Intro/Outro music for this podfic is Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know (I totally had this as part of the podfic before it was all over the radio, too - the hipstery music snob in me wants you to know that I liked this song before it got popular.) And yeah, I know, the cover for this one looks pretty similar to the cover for Show And Tell, but I really wanted to illustrate the scene where Ryan's reminiscing over his and Spencer's childhood (and the picture was perfect for a thought bubble).

***So, this podfic is being used to fill the "Record In A New Place" square on my podfic_bingo card. See, usually I record podfic while lying on the living room couch....but this one was recorded sitting at the kitchen table. (No, really - the acustics are really different in a tiled kitchen, than on an overstuffed sofa. Really!)
AMP12: Day 21 (04/03/12)
How Becky Totally Saved the World Without Becoming a Mary Sue or: PLEASE R&R OR I'LL NEVER WRITE ANOTHER CHAPTER, written by girl_wonder - this is exactly how Supernatural's season five Apocalypse should have gone. Becky's awesome in this, and I didn't know it bugged me that the boys never took advantage of Chuck's foreknowledge until I read this. Plus, Becky writes fanfic as apocrypha to the Books of Chuck!
For the coverart, I really wanted to illustrate this scene:
"Do not be alarmed," the man on the screen says. He looks very sad. He's also wearing the tackiest suit she's ever seen, like an Elvis LARPer who couldn't afford rhinestones.
"Do not be alarmed," he repeats. "This is not the end of the world. My name is Lucifer. I am the Morningstar, and I am here only to rescue the world. If you see this man, please call our hotline. You can save the world."
The picture of Sam was about four years old and a little grainy. Satan said more stuff, but to be honest, Becky'd already read the transcript: Chuck wrote it last month in a drunken stupor.
(I was laughing SO HARD when I recorded this part, you have NO IDEA.)
The Intro/Outro music for this podfic is It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine), performed by R.E.M. - makes sense, right? You can find the mp3 of this story over here (thank you, paraka, for hosting me!), or you can stream the story by clicking below:
AMP12: Day 22 (04/04/12)
Marked, written by reni_days - y'know how I have a thing for tattoo!fic? Well, it turns out that thing pretty much extends to skin-writing in all it's forms. Even forms without any sexin'. I just.... the relationship between Spencer and Brendon here is full of tension in all the best ways, and the boys writing on each other? YES. There's notes of casually possessive behavior throughout the fic (which punches a whole lot of my buttons), and a sense of intimacy that runs deeper than the superficial nature of what could be a drunken party prank would suggest.
I had a whole lot of fun making this coverart - basically, I plugged several variations of the phrase "Brendon Urie, chest" into Google, and picked which one made me happiest at the moment ;-) You can download the mp3 of this podfic over here (thank you, paraka, for hosting me!), or you can stream the story by clicking below:
AMP12: Day 23 (04/05/12)
The Bowl (aka, the gummi bear fic), written by jerakeen -well, this podfic was recorded....last year. In fact, it was recorded last winter, while we were laying tile/painting walls/caulking All The Joints. It was recorded when the house was filled with smells of all sorts, and we couldn't open any windows. It was a time when I was more than a little high on fumes of all chemical makeup, and thought that The Gummy Bear Song was the height of satirical humor. Yeah, my sense of whimsy was showing as I recorded this - though, hopefully, you don't lose any enjoyment of the podfic, knowing I was pretty loopy as I read about Adam hallucinating himself and Kris as gummi bears..... It's a cute story, and has some sweet lines, but damn! By the time I recorded this podfic at the end of the day, I was definitely feeling loopier than..... a time I shouldn't talk about, in public, on the internet. Um. Nevermind.

So, I'm just going to wipe some sweat from my brow, and hope that I actually manage not to screw up the schedule tomorrow night..... *crosses her fingers* *goes to bed*
