Podfic Year in Review 2019
Stats
I posted 14 podfics this year, including ITPE. 5 of those were collabs.
Longest: I'll Be Your Man, 03:34:30
Shortest: Creation Stories, 10:18
Total time: 11:08:28
Average length: 47 minutes
Additionally, I took part in three multi-voice project.
What was the best podfic you made this year?
coral knuckles (SKZ), hands down. Part of that may just be because I adore the fic itself and it's still fresh on my mind, but I do think it's genuinely one of my best ever performances. It's really different from my usual work, but I loved every second of working on it, and I'm really proud of how it turned out! I should also mention I'll Be Your Man (SVT) here, which suffers a bit from being posted early in the year, but is still one of my favourite works in recent years.
What was the best cover you made this year?
I think that honour will have to go to life comes at you fast (BTS), one of my ITPE gifts. I'm actually surprised with how well it came together, and it didn't even take me that long. I just had to get rid of some text on JK's sweater and then play around with backgrounds until I found one that matched. Special mention goes to Children's Card Games (YOI/YGOTAS), a cover made with the help of an online Yu-Gi-Oh card generator lol.
Personal favourite, for whatever reason?
coral knuckles (SKZ), definitely. It's a podfic I find myself listening to a lot, because I love the story and am really proud of my performance. That said, Here Comes A Thought (SKZ) has a special place in my heart as well. Maybe because it's the first Stray Kids fic I recorded, but also because I'm pleased with how the music fits together, and with Minho's narration.
Most underappreciated?
Nothing is funnier to me than the hits to kudos ratio of coral knuckles (SKZ), I swear. It's probably not fair to call it underappreciated, but part of me still wishes more people would talk to me about it, probably because I'm so excited about it. What can you do. Creation Stories (Craft Sequence) is the one with the actual least amount of attention, but it's gen and for a tiny fandom, so it's not like I actually expected anything.
Most difficult to make?
Nothing that I posted this year was difficult, really. I guess I'll Be Your Man (SVT) is the default answer here just because it took me te longest? But that's really just because of the word count. I have a couple in-progress works that are giving me trouble, but hopefully I'll be able to finish those soon.
Most "ah ha ha I can't believe I'm doing this"?
Children's Card Games (YOI/YGOTAS) was an absolutely hilarious recording experience, so maybe that counts! It was one of the projects we recorded at the first ever europod meet-up, and I have such fond memories of cracking up along with everyone else in the room. Good times. :'D
What's next?
I have a whole bunch of projects in the works that I'm very excited about! That said, my goal for 2020 is to record more femslash. I already posted a TWICE podfic as part of ITPE, but hopefully I can find some more girl group fic to work with. I'll do my best! <3
