This was going to be a post about fire_juggler's awesome Meta: On Listening, and why you should read it, or listen to me read it to you, or listen to lunchy_munchy reading it to you... but then I thought that a little background information might be useful to you, the Intended Audience.

Our story starts this past Wednesday, when my Mother announced that the day trip up to (

ALL THE HAPPY JOY!!!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving such beautiful voice to my words!!! I can't tell you how amazing it is to hear my words read aloud. And as I told lunchee, it is so marvelous to hear two versions that are done so differently!!! Multiple versions are SO MUCH LOVE!!!!!!

You are AMAZEBALLS!!!!!!!!

I love how lunchee and I podficced simultaneously, and yet there are still places where our interpretations of your meta are so very different. And, y'know, I love how you pretty much crawled into my brain for this post.... And thank you for putting my own jumbled thoughts into such lovely, cohesive, sentences <3 <3 <3

I ended up crashing yesterday afternoon for almost five hours, and when I woke up it was already dark out (which is always really disorienting, have you ever noticed that?)...then I ate dinner, and went back to bed.

The moral of the story? Try not to be too busy, or you won't wake up for many many hours ;-)

...also, I hope you enjoy it! I had so many moments of IS SHE IN MY BRAIN!??! while reading fire_juggler's meta, and basically just couldn't resist podficcing it. Hopefully, it'll do the same for you, too.

I listened to this today! And I'm so glad I got to listen to you reading it, because it can be so hard to read EMOTION through text, especially meta, but this was powerful and awesome and wonderful, and I loved it. :D

I sort of approach fandom through the lens of creating things, whether podfic or writing, so I will probably always make more than I listen to/read, no matter what fandom I'm in, but this really captured what I love about podfic, too -- the fact that listening to it really shows you the podficcer's relationship with that work, and the many ways the podficcer's personality expresses itself through the podfic. It also made me think about how my approach to podfic has changed over the last year or so, because it really has, but it's taken until now to really get a handle on how... maybe I should podmeta that! :D?
