Choices - 2013 Podfic Big Bang Challenge
Posted that podfic I've been talking about all summer! Phew! That was ... a lot of work. And I'm very proud of myself.
Ok the sound quality is not that great. I am terrible at accents. I'm pronouncing "Marcone" like the first two audiobooks do, not how it's pronounced later on when Jim Butcher presumably corrected that. (In my defense, all the Dresden Files podfics I've ever listened to pronounce the name like I'm pronouncing it, so ... yeah.) Garageband tried to mess with my files and I had to split it into two parts to save it.
But I'm still proud, goddammit. This fic is badass and one of my all time favs in any fandom. I'm so happy I managed to record it. Hopefully, the author likes it. If other people like it too, so much the better.
This summer didn't exactly go the way I expected, so signing up for this challenge was a way to give me something to work towards this summer that I was passionate and excited about, since my original plans didn't work out and I was suddenly stuck back at home again, worrying about gas money and going to my summer job and missing my college friends. In that respect, this helped me get through the early part of the summer, which was rough at times because of opportunities getting snatched away and feeling sorry for myself.
I really want to record more podfics in the future. It's fun and I like doing this a lot. Before I do another one I need to get an actual microphone and see about using a program other than Garageband, which is evil.
I've posted like a million links at like three different locations since last night, it seems. You can find it at my AO3 account, amplificathon, and the podficbigbang community.
