PODFICS

[aneas]

I'm an extremely faithful person. The Husband would tell you that I'm very boring person to buy for, and he'd be right. That's mostly because if I find something I like, and it works, then I don't want to change it. So lets say that I buy a pair of shoes, and they fit, and they're beautiful and comfortable. The next pair I'll buy will probably be of the same brand. Same with handbags, watches, scarves, sunglasses... If I find something I like and it works, why should I change? He says boring, I say faithful. ;)

If I discover a new fantastic singer, writer, artist, chances are I'd give at least a try to everything they've done before. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If I like the way somebody reads fics, then I'd give a try to anything they read, regardless of the fandom. And boy, does it works! Up until now, the journey has been wonderful, and I'm delighted. I've been introduced to wonderful new fandoms, and to fantastic people, too. I have podfics from SGA, Glee, Die Hard, Merlin, Sherlock...

Feedback is really important, and sometimes it grates on me how little feedback podfic readers receive. In my opinion, reading correctly a fic is an art, and it should be regarded as one, too. Their voices bring words to life, and they give new energy to fics you've read a lot of times before. If they're good, their readings have new subtle changes that make the fics new and unexpected.

So as a small token of thanks for two of them, my wonderful shiningartifact and podklb, I made each of them a cover for their terrific stories, New Rule and Forever, Now.






Both their stories are Bandom, but as all their work is magnificent, (as you probably already know,) I highly recommend everything form them. Please, go to both their pages and download everything, you won't be disappointed. Their AI work is amazing. They're funny, sweet, tender and OMG! so hot, and their readings are like the wine that accompanies a good meal, bringing out new fragrances and nuances of meaning you never noticed before.

Go, go, what are you waiting for?

We can be anything we want and sit at the beach all day, or under a nice shady tree, and read fic. And listen to podfic. And go out to eat in nice resturants. I think it sounds like a great life.

I'm online as we speak looking at mountain cabins. If I find some really great ones I'll post links. I always like second opinions.

Oh, yes, please! That way I can live it vicariously! Like your Adam concert! When will it be?

Adam concert is August 31. I can't wait. Have you seen the video from the concert this week where he went into the audience and was kissing fans (one guy, one girl, he's laughing his head off and then sings this unbelievable high note)?

[aneas]

I DID! This guy is going to kill me!

I completely agree. The fan board that I read almost had a stroke. It made a few people nervous, but most everyone was trying to figure out how to go to a concert where it might happen again.

I don't actually think he should make an habit of it. It's insane, and funny, and he's having a great time, and it's obviously just for fun and giggles, but that's not the kind of press he needs right now.

I sound so old! Let me try to express myself better. I think that Adam needs to solidify his position as a serious artist, and not a summer thing. I actually think he's an amazing performer, that can blow your mind with his voice and he doesn't need fireworks or fire or random kissing to make people go to his concerts.

But if the kind of press he gets is not how amazing he sounds or how beautiful his show is, but he kisses people whenever... It's like they don't take him seriously. And I think that's a shame, because his potential is unbelievable.
