I fail at updating my masterlist, so I moved it to Google Docs.
You can access it here, however, it is also out of date.

The best place to see fic + podfic is at my ao3 acc. 

I rarely use this journal now. I'm not even xposting from ao3 anymore  Chat with me on twitter: @letsgopodfic.

A note on transformative works:

Go ahead. Do whatever the hell you want. You don't need to link me. You don't need to credit me. I honestly don't care, just treat em well. You don't need to link me when you are done. If you want to, that's great. No pressure. Otherwise; you don't need to credit me in a repod. Just ask the author if repods are okay. 

If you haven't already given a blanket statement but are meaning to, go! Do it, now! There might be some angsty worried fan wondering how to approach you to ask can they do something with your work.


If you ever need to get in contact with me about anything, rather than PM-ing me because I might not see it, my email address is letsgofriday at gmail dot com

Hey there, dear brave soul who is to record something for me for #ITPE.

Thanks so much for doing this! I can't wait to listen to the wonderful piece and I hope you enjoy whatever you get from whoever, as well.

If it's on my pinboard, I love it and you can disregard any warnings about it.

I have a pile of fandoms, but unfortunately I don't love them all equally. Because of that, I'm going to lay my feelings on them out below the cut. This includes squicks and loves that are particular to this fandom. I might like them (squicks) elsewhere, however.

My fandoms (that I signed up with, anyway) are: Bandom*, Hockey*, Supernatural, Community, Inception, Sherlock*, X-Men: First Class, Firefly, AI8, One Direction, Actors RPF*, Merlin, Teen Wolf, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Doctor Who*, Torchwood and Suits!
(* means that these are fandoms with ~subfandoms, if you will.)

I know that seems really detailed, but better safe than sorry. However, this is just a guide line. It doesn't have to be followed explicitly.

Again, thank you so much! I hope you find a fic that you enjoy reading and you're proud of the result.

I realised I should post the podfic I made aaaages ago for paraka's 5 year podfic anniversary! I completely forgot about it ::shamed::

Title: Shame Those Stars
( More Information + Notes! )


(Oh, and I have a huuuge favour to ask: is anyone willing to beta a podfic? It's going to be a long one, at least four hours, and I've only got the first hour recorded so far. It's an infamous bandom fic... ;) General cheerleaders are also awesome :D)

Title: New Steps
Written By: mistresscurvy 
Fandom: Bandom
Pairing: Frank/Gerard
Length: 24 Minutes
Rating: PG

 Gerard is BORED with it, okay. He wants to dance his own steps, and he's gonna do it. A Strictly Ballroom AU not!fic. Will likely make absolutely no sense at ALL if you haven't seen the movie, which is one of the best things in the entire fucking universe.

Notes:
This was so much fun to record! I've actually never seen Strictly Ballroom, but I totally get it. DANCE  :D

Nabbed from paraka!

Stats:
I have posted (made about 15!) 9 podfics this year! Or, since September, which woah. Go me!
The total length was 07:14:39!
This is an average of 48 minutes per podfic!
8 of these were in bandom, and one was in Doctor Who!

What was the best podfic you made this year?
The best? I am proud of everything I did, but I am very proud of how quickly I got through I Have Been All Things Unholy. I didn't think I'd been able to do that. I also liked Meet in The After Awhile. I've recorded that one three times, twice with a crappy set-up and once with a proper one. Up The Line is still one of my favourite stories so to be able to do something from that universe makes me happy.

Most popular?
I Have Been All Things Unholy, thankfully. Of course, I am happy with any response to my work but I was really hoping for a good response to this one in particular and it did! I had 17 comments, and as of now, 303 downloads. LJ doesn't do page counts, unfortunately.

Most under appreciated?
I'm pretty happy with all of them, except Missed Your Skin While You Were East. That is still one of my favourite stories, but I do know why it didn't get such a good response, mainly as it is part of a series where it is very advisable to read the other parts first (one is already podficced but part 2 hasn't been one, and I did part 3.)

Personal favorite, for whatever reason?
I Have Been All Things Unholy, for obvious reasons \o/

Most difficult to make?
Despite the rush, IHBATU was easy. I flew through it. As still as of yet, unposted Glee podfic called Ash is killing me. It was one of my first podfics, and it was great and I was proud of it as I went to hit save. Audicity crashed. I have tried everything to get it back, but I am only left with the raw files. I can't stand to look at it anymore!

Most "ah ha ha I can't believe I'm doing this"?
IHBATU - "why am I even trying to get this done in a MONTH I am mental."

Most fun to make?
CJ Cregg Never Had This Problem was so much fun!

Was there one that didn't turn out the way you wanted?
Yeah, a Glee one that I haven't posted. I forget it's name now, but I was really excited for making it, but my speech patterns didn't fit it. I tried anyway, but listening back I just sounded stilted and awkward so I left it.

Biggest learning experience?
Meet in the After Awhile. It wasn't my first podfic posted, but it was recorded. I learned a lot about recording, such as visual marks like claps to help with the rough edit.

What's next? Do you have any podfic goals for next year?
I have Heaven's Not About Our Reputation half recorded, so I'm excited for that. I might make it my podfic big bang, but I am unsure I can stick to the deadlines given out in such challenges. 2012 is important exam year for me, and I have resolved to spend less time online. :| Let's see how that works out, shall we?

Summary: Pete Wentz was the kind of reporter designed solely to make the life of the White House's Press Secretary more difficult than it otherwise needed to be. As the White House’s Press Secretary, Patrick was in a pretty good position to judge.

Notes: There is a serious lack of Fall Out Boy podfic, you guys. I totally had another P/P fic recorded and then lost all the files. Gooo me!
So, I recorded the second thing on my list. Namely, this. White House AU! Pete is an attention whore for Patrick! (Nothing new there, then.) 
It's such a cute feel good story. I love all the subtle hints to other bandom people - Brendon in the orchestra! Patrick being all indignant and ugh <3 Pete pining, <3. This is something to read/listen to when you are in the need of some fluff :)
And as a born and bred Irish girl, POTATOES. I am the MASTER of potatoes.
Enjoy, please leave a comment for the author and me :)

Summary: (Sequel to Up The Line.) It's Mikey and Alicia's wedding! The nurses are in charge, Mikey has no idea what's going on, Gerard is a cowardly bitch, Frank sets a boat on fire, and Pete has the booze. It's like the war hardly ended at all.

Notes: I totally wanted to read Up The Line. I totally wouldn't be able to read 50,000 words. (But I did! More on that later, mhm!) So I read this instead! In case you haven't read Up The Line (which you should go and do right now), basically what happens is the gang meet on the Western Front in World War I. Everybody ~falls in love, there is blood and death and pain and illicit homosex. This fic continues in November 1919 at Mikey and Alicia's wedding.

My voice sounds really stuffed in this. I had an awful cold when I recorded it. I've been putting off editing this for ages but I'm glad I have. I'm basically going through all my recorded fics, editing and posting so I have a clean slate to work on a Christmas fic (Suggestions, anyone? I wanted to do Star Shaped but it's 50,000 more words and I  really don't want to record another one so soon, even if I have more time now. Not enough though!)

And okay. I'm excited about this. But it's a surprise. Y'all might have seen mention of this around my LJ. I've been working on this for a month, recording like a mad thing. I'm not going to say anything more - except that it's an infamous Frank/Gerard. Let you work it out for yourself. It will be posted on Hallowe'en night. Does that give you any more of a hint? ;)

Enjoy, please leave a comment for the author and me :)

Summary: "I left my book in here," Ryan Ross said, hanging in the doorway, eyes huge and fixed on Brendon. "Um. Before lunch."
"Of course you did," Brendon said. Probably Ryan left stacks of personal belongings all around the school, just ready to be picked up as soon as Brendon was doing something particularly embarrassing in the vicinity.


Notes: This had me singing Taylor Swift. I apologise in advance for ruining your ears. 
Betaed by knight_tracer, who is a shining human being. 

basically, I have three or four fics in my folder, ready to be edited. AND I HATE EDITING. WITH A LOATHING. and I need a beta because IT'S MY FUCKING VOICE AND I'M ALLOWED TO BE SICK OF HEARING IT so anybody on my teeny flist wanna give a girl a hand and beta a podfic or five? There is one Frank/Gerard + Mikey/Alicia, one Ryan/Brendon, one Puck/Kurt and one Spencer/Ryan/Brendon + Frank/Gerard.

Basically I have a lot of time to read but not to edit. So yeah I doubt anyone will see this but.


or maybe i should get caoimhe to do it hmm.

you guys, I have recorded 6 podfics. And I haven't posted any of them, mostly because a: I haven't asked permission but also because b: the sound quality is SO awful. I don't mind buying a mic but my laptop fan is so loud. ugh.
