And for my 100th podfic (I'm counting the micro-podfics individually, but not their translations, even if they're all posted together), I give you a repod of my very first podfic. I've fiddled with it in the past and I did record it once more back in November, but I'm only posting this version (from March).

This podfic went though a few versions over the years. I recorded the first one back in June 2012, my very first podfic. I hated the sound of my own voice back then and barely got though the editing process - there was a lot of noise, because I was using an older version of Audacity and it was hard to get the right amount of noise reduction, and I had a couple of repeat lines left in, because I didn't have the patience to listen to myself all the way though after I thought I was done editing. I then went back to it and edited it in November of that year, after Lunchee gave it a listen and pointed out what was wrong - that's the version that's still up in the original post. Then, in November 2013 I re-recorded it to track my progress, but I never posted it - I had switched to a better mic, but I didn't have a pop-filter yet and I thought it was too distracting. This version I recorded this March with another mic, as my 100th podfic.

The current version is 5 minutes longer than the first - my reading pace has slowed down considerably since then. I've also started enjoying editing a lot more than than I expected. I made a post here with all the differences, including screencaps of the waveforms and samples from all three versions.

Reader: kdheart
Fandom: Inuyasha
Characters: Higurashi Kagome, Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Shippou, Sango, Mrioku, Rin, Kikyou, vaious original characters and historic figures

Warnings: not everyone is immortal; considering the historic context, violence should be expected; the fic is still ongoing and updates irregularly (tends to go on hiatus occasionally)
Summary: After the Jewel is stolen and the wish is made, Kagome finds herself cursed with immortality. Convincing Sesshoumaru to help her, they travel the world and through some of the most cataclysmic periods of human history to defeat the powerful thieves.

I'm going to post a chapter/month. The fic is still ongoing and updates irregularly, but we hope I won't have time to catch up with the text version first.

I'm really bad at talking about stuff I like, especially when I'm trying to introduce it to people who aren't already familiar with it. I tend to ramble and get lost in details that seem insignificant. Since the best map of the land is the land itself and the best way to describe a story is to tell it, bare with me as I read to you one of my favorite fan fics - a tale about an unusual curse and two people (one human and one youkai) who have to weather the centuries by each-other's side first as reluctant allies, eventually as friends (and more than that). Be patient with the protagonists, it takes decades for their friendship to build and even more for them to realize that's what it is. We'll have five centuries to be frustrated over how slow they are to realize what's in front of their noses.

My first podfic, almost six months ago, was of one of Resmiranda's fanfics. It was done on a whim, at far to early in the morning for me to think better of it and after years of hesitation because I was unsure of my reading voice, my accent and my editing skills. It had a lot of background noise, I accidentally left a line in there twice and after I posted it and it finally sank in that I had, I was so, so nervous about it. But the author liked it and I eventually went back to it and edited it again and made it presentable and I'm actually kind of proud of it.

Six months and 15 podfics later and 2012 is over (well, there's still about 12 hours left over here). I thought the best way to end this year was with another of Resmiranda's fics.

It was the second day of Christmas at my grandparent's house and I was suffering from insomnia... so I locked myself in the bathroom and prayed no one could hear me read this (it worked so well, that grandpa nearly walked in on me during the sort of sex scene :"> )

Happy New Year, everyone!

Note: I wrote this a couple of years back, over a cup of hot chocolate with a friend in a bit of a write-off. I miss doing that. I’ll have to remind her we should do this again.
