Taking suggestions for SGA and H50 podfic to record

[librarychick_94]

So, I have a couple ideas on what stories to podfic next, but several people have commented on some of my podfic that they were glad a particular story was podficced. So, I thought I'd throw this out there: I'm taking requests/suggestions for SGA and/or H50 stories to podfic.

So, if you have any SGA or H50 stories you've always wanted to have as a podfic (and think I'd be a good reader for it), please let me know. I've also posted this to Tumblr if you want to respond there. However, communicating via Tumblr can be iffy.

Some guidelines:

• No deathfic (exceptions include death that is only temporary)


• No rape/noncon/dubcon


• Not all stories lend themselves to being read aloud


• I have to get permission from the author if they don't already have blanket permission out there


• McShep or McDanno preferred, but I'll read gen and preslash as well. Other pairings? Depends on the pairing and story.

No worries!

No worries! I just didn't want to take credit where it wasn't due! Fifteen podfic by me! Yikes! Might I ask if you have a favorite? Or maybe your top two? I have my stats at AO3 so I know which ones have the most hits etc., but I'm just wondering.

Ok, I can do that. Hands down the best are:
Hunting Parties series - one of my favorite authors, and I’m glad that all the parts now in audio.
A Farm In Iowa – wow, just wow. Can’t imagine how hard it was to record.
Taking the B Train – I love the AU stories where there still is Atlantis, but maybe a different road to it.
Paper Cranes (Upstairs, Downstairs) - Rodney+family dinners+mistaken for a couple - what not to like? good pick.

But if you ask about those recent ones, they are:
The Last Survivor (it’s not new, but I only listened to it recently)
Sight Unseen
The Crooked Path and Like a Pigeon from Hell

I swear the fact that they are the lengthy ones are just a coincidence :)

P.S. When you asked I went to check you profile – to make sure I give credit where credit is due, not like last time ;) and I found Hunted by Taste_is_Sweet. I don’t know how I missed it, I regularly check out new records on internet but here it is. It’s a crossover with Hawaii five-o which is a huge bonus for me. I love that fandom but only have ten podfics and it’s not nearly enough, plus I read Aegis but this story is new to me. So I’m in a happy mood and I definitely know what I’ll be listening next!

Yay! Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know what your favorites are. So glad you liked Hunting Parties. John/OMC is not something I often read, but it is LtLJ! Vanrin is awesome. Obviously, I like everything I podfic, but The Farm in Iowa 'verse is my absolute favorite. Cate's writing is sublime and lyrical in places and it is quite easy to read. I find that when I read her stuff it has a different rhythm to it than others. Actually, when reading out loud, each author seems to have their own rhythm and it often affects even that speed at which I read. I know I'm fast and I have to keep myself from reading too quickly sometimes.

I'm glad you liked Last Survivor. That was one I was able to use closest to my own voice on (without as many subtle changes for dialogue) and it was nice. It isn't very popular though. Perhaps because of the original female character. Paper Cranes is a most awesome fic. I laughed out loud when I first read it and kept reading bits of it to my housemate at the time.

I'm glad you found Hunted! It is 5 hours long, so have fun. I've seriously considered doing H50 podfic, but I'm not quite as comfortable with the characters. And writers tend to use quite a bit of Hawaiian language and I'm afraid I'll screw up the pronunciation royally. I wonder if that is why there isn't as much out there? Or maybe the SGA fandom is just better. :)
