Also, and I know this will probably be seen by nobody that it applies to, but:

DEAR FANDOM.

Hai. My name's Alexandria, and on very rare occasions, I like to record podfic. I can't promise anything good, though I do try to not read in a monotone or anything horrible like that. I'm no pandarus, and I'm not great at keeping my voices for different characters consistent so I usually don't much bother and just focus on tone of words and such and sort of let the narration hopefully let you know who's who, and I don't have a horridly sexy accent or particularly alluring for whatever reason voice, but I like doing it for fics that entertain me--I'd been reading fics purely for my own benefit to listen to on the schoolbus since middle school, way before I knew of this podfic thing catching on around fandom. Now, since I'm semi-regularly driving 3 hours each way from university to home and back, I listen to other people's all the time, and thus managed to discover amplificathon, which is gearing up for another round.

Problem is, I don't want to just go around and be all "OMG THIS FIC IS AMAZING. Can I maybe podfic it?" to people I don't know because I'm even shy on the internet. I know, whut.

And since amplificathon starts soon (the last post-mentioned workload prohibits me from starting until at least Easter weekend, but since all my shit is next week, the week or two after shouldn't be as bad, and the -thon goes through a few weeks after the end of the semester, so I should have lots of time then as well), and I didn't find out about it until right after the 2009 one so this is my first, I'm looking to get some ideas as to what I can podfic. I don't want to have to spend too much time hunting things down and waiting to hear back from the author if it's okay, etc. during the spare moments I could actually be working on reading things (though that'll all obviously have to happen sometimes, this next weekend is the first time I could possibly start reading stuff but I'm OMG JAM PACKED from now until then and won't shouldn't be allowed to find time to scrounge stuff up).

So erm, does anybody have or know of people who have maybe fics they wouldn't mind being read? Preferably in my fandoms, obvs. Maybe a list somewhere of authors that have expressed interest in having stuff read, just to start from? A friend who's casually mentioned in passing conversation how they'd like it if a female from the midwestern United States read their fic aloud for the benefit of the greater internet? Suggestions would be much appreciated. No guarantees I'll get *anything* read, much less if there are suggestions, any of those, but having a place to start makes stuff much less daunting.

Sincerely,
Aforementioned Midwestern-United States' Female Who Needs to Either Get the Fuck Back to Her Homework or Finally Go to Sleep Because It's 9am Goddamn.

Anything I've written, you're more than welcome to record. If it's original stuff, though, I reserve the right to offer it on my website. :D

Oh, you're too excellent. Ahh, but there are so many from which to choose! Thanks loads.

[geonncannon.livejournal.com]

~laughs~ Yeah, I figured that even if no one else said yes, I had enough in geonn_ncis alone to keep you busy for a while. ;-D

rysler is also interested! :D

Yes, rysler is also interested! That's me. I have some ideas for what would make good podfic from my work, but you are welcome to do anything you want. Help yourself.

I have discovered this website (http://audiofic.jinjurly.com/browse-by-fandom) and have been inspired to investigate podficcing more. But I am solazy.

I, too, would like to host whatever you do on my site.

Hi!

[crashcart9.livejournal.com]

Ooh! So glad to hear that. If you have specific ones you'd like to point me to to look at for starters, that'd be great! I'd just really like to get sort of a list going so I can immediately turn to something when I get the urge and the time simultaneously. Let me know which ones you think would be good and I'll check them out.

Hey there! Better late than never, right?

Here are three stories (http://www.broodingdetective.com/personal/raw/) to add to your longterm podficcing file. Though they all involve explicit femslash, so if you'd like me to pick something else, just let me know.
