LOVE podfic. I listened to the Reperations/Foundations ones last year and it was such a blast! Being able to take fic with you into the car and to have it around the house...it's such a cool thing.

Would love to hear about your reread! I read them before I started writing and it was much faster than I'd expected but, even more surprising, the reread didn't really...stick when I was so immersed in fanon. I bet doing it again now would be intriguing!

It's just so convenient! :D

And i really am overdo for a reread, so I'll probably do that in the next few months. I'm sure I'll make a post with my thoughts. I'm a little nervous for some reason.

I read Fantastic Beasts last year, as research for my fic Muggle Beasts and Where to Find Them. I continue to be amazed by the complexity of Rowlings world building. I mean, wow. When I write, I have sort of a vague idea of what the surroundings are like, what they look like and I make the rest up as I go along. But sometimes I get the impression that the whole Harry Potter world just popped into her head one day, finished and ready to be written about.

I also want to re-read Reparations & Foundations. They are my favourite fics and are a huge reason that I am in the fan community. I had been a lurker for a long time, but when i read them, I just knew I had to comment and let Nat know how much I loved them.

Oh I know! Reading these side books just really brings home the complexity of the HP world.

And yeah, they really are just fantastic and the Foundations!verse is one of my absolute favorites! I definitely recommend the podfics if you want to try something different. I'm really enjoying them!

Thank you for the lovely comment! I'm delighted that you enjoyed the podfics. They were a true joy to do and I love to hear that others enjoy listening to them!

You're welcome! They really are so much fun to listen to. I'd forgotten how long Foundations was until I saw how many hours it is in podfic form! :D
