It's that time again, folks - the procrastination hour! I've started podficcing the insanely excellent (but very long) Star Shaped by
passe_simple , and the American accent I made the mistake of trying out on my lengthiest podfic yet is truly tongue-tripping. So when
cest_what wrote back to me saying she didn't mind me getting my grubby voice all over her and
softlyforgotten 's brief venture into bandom robot-human relations, I jumped at the chance to record something short, simple and sweet in my native dialect. Yeah, I know they're from Vegas.
Without (much) further ado.

Summary: "Your robot has a stutter? Spence, that's adorable."
Rec: Ryan Ross is a sentient, awkward robot and Brendon falls in love! I don't really have anything more to add - that premise kind of does it for me all by itself. Luckily, though, it's supported by two great writers who come together to create super charming characterizations, funny scenarios and a whole lot of metallic fluff. As always, even if you don't dig the sound of my voice, I highly recommend you check out the fic for some warm fuzzies.

cest_what for writing back and letting me know she was down with the podfic (on a related note, I wasn't able to get a response from
softlyforgotten; if you ever come across this and are appalled or otherwise upset by it, please do let me know and I will take it down posthaste). Thanks to
brimtoast - who has promised I'll get a sneak peek at the latest installment in Forever, Now, her epic podficcing venture starring the Way brothers - just for being an awesome, welcoming person; and to
cybel, podbook mistress of the universe.
An extra unheard thanks going out to Dan Mangan, the brilliant man who penned and performed the song you hear at the end. It's called Robots, and it's a lovely addition to any mix CD or playlist. I'm sure he'd be surprised at its use here, but I don't really care. He seems like a chill dude.
