Podfics I Loved

See, that’s what the app is perfect for..

[Podfic] I'll explain everything to the geese - quietnight - Marvel Cinematic Universe [Archive of Our Own]

Chapters: 5/5 Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe , Captain America (Movies) , The Avengers (Marvel Movies) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: James “Bucky” Barnes/Sam Wilson Characters: Sam Wilson (Marvel), James “Bucky” Barnes, Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanov (Marvel), James “Rhodey” Rhodes, Other Avengers Additional Tags: Not Avengers: Endgame (Movie) Compliant, Post-Avengers: Endgame (Movie), Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Alternate Universe - Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies, Captain America Sam Wilson, Sam Wilson-centric, Sam Wilson Can Talk to Birds, Slow Burn, Birds, Partners to Lovers, Miscommunication, Podfic, Podfic Length: 45-60 Minutes, Podfic Length: 3-3.5 Hours, Audio Format: MP3, Audio Format: Streaming Summary:

Bucky is so competent that it hurts my feelings is not a rational complaint to have about a person, and yet, after a year of being Captain America and partnering up with Bucky for the new and improved, post-Blip Avengers, that’s kinda how Sam’s feeling.

It’s not great. It maybe leads to Sam making some rash, ill-advised decisions like claiming he has a previously undisclosed superpower, and then getting caught in a web of lies when he ends up actually developing that surprisingly inconvenient superpower. Talking to birds had seemed like a harmless superpower, but it turns out that birds have a lot of opinions, and they don’t hesitate to tell Sam about them, especially when it comes to his supposedly subpar courting skills. Which is ridiculous, because Sam isn’t courting Bucky. Right?

MCU [Bucky/Sam] i close my eyes until i see (i don't need hands to touch me) by sisi_rambles

Every month or so, there’s this recurring thought that runs through Sam’s head.   This is your life now. Which is why, he thinks bleakly, it’s utterly fucking typical that as they’re investigating something weird and probably janky some civilian called in over on Rockaway Beach, Sam looks away one minute and when he looks back, Bucky is a tentacle monster. “Uh,” Sam says. “Dude. You.” Bucky - it’s still Bucky, Jesus Christ - waves a tentacle.

Podfic Favorites

I promised a rebloggable podfic rec list, and here it is! I’ve recced most of these before, so this is more of round-up than a brand-new rec list; it’s multifandom, as usual; it’s organized alphabetically by podficcer’s name; and it’s restricted to no more than 5 pods per podficcer. All of these and more can be found in the podfic tag of my bookmarks . Recs under the cut!

Keep reading

Proud to be included among these greats! Reblogging so I can 100% come back to the rest of this list at a future date.

Thanks to @ericdier-and-chill for writing this story and for blanket permission to record.

For @thespacetofall Thanks for all you’ve done for me, for encouraging me in ALL my rarepairs writing and feels, and for being such an avid supporter and fan of podfic (mine, and podfic in general). I know you really liked this fic and how much you love this pairing, so I thought I’d make you a podfic of a fic you didn’t write for once so you can bring this story with you wherever you go. Enjoy. Sorry about the Ed Sheeran (I made a non-music version so you can opt out!)

•  Both versions of this fic have additional reader’s notes at the end.
• The music version has some brief instrumental music underneath the header narration, music at the beginning and end, and music in the section breaks.
• Both versions have some vocal effects within the narrative. This fic uses an intertwined flashback structure, so flashbacks are told with a bit of vocal effect to distinguish them from present-day scenes.

Big Bang Annoucement!

Hello everyone! First of all, we have an admin update for you. The founder of this blog and the power behind previous Winterhawk Events, Molly, has stepped down from her role and has passed the reins on. With that, we’d like to take the opportunity to introduce the new Winterhawk Mod team! Bucky , foolishquestions icywind, SakuraCreampup, and dap.

We are all very excited to be able to step up, and we’re looking forward to bringing more Winterhawk events in the future. With that said, please keep in mind that a new team will mean a few changes to how events are run. Please be patient with us as we find our footing, and if you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, the door is always open.

Next up, we want to announce the opening to the next Winterhawk Big Bang! One of the things that we are doing differently in the round is not having a formal sign up period. If you are a writer, all you need to do to sign up is submit a draft of 5000 words by the draft submission deadline. If you’re an artist, all you need to do to sign up is claim a story once claims open. We will have more information about how to submit a story, and how to claim one closer to the time.

• Videos should be a minimum of one minute in length.
• You are expected to respect the squicks, and triggers, and “Do Not Wants” of your writer.
• All participants are expected to keep track of deadlines. Reminder posts will be made.

Pod Fic Rec Days

Because seriously, our lovely, amazingly brilliant and talented podficcers need an extra post. And no, I still don’t care about what date it is. We’re an international fandom :D Johnlock in all its glory :)

Something old aka Victorian Times

“Undiscovered Country” read by Ricky Pulsifer and The Dragongirl (explicit, 2 hours): Culverton Smith’s poison box fells the wrong victim. Story written by Katie Forsythe.

“Sentiment to Paper” (explicit, 50 minutes) read by Ricky Pulsifer: No fewer than three times by the winter of 1883 had I heard Sherlock Holmes disparage the ways of lovers and their irrational tendencies toward writing letters. With this often and loudly-expressed opinion in mind, I was very surprised indeed to find a stack of unsent, unsealed letters in a drawer in his desk. [written by @mistyzeo ]

Some BBC-ish Johnlock

“The Edinburgh Problem” (explicit, more than 12 hours) read by @lockedinjohnlock-podfics : “A nice holiday, just a bit more…murdery. ” John said drily.“Yes! The best kind of holiday!” Sherlock beamed. “So we won’t get bored!” After he separates from Mary, John returns to Baker Street. Following a request for help from Sherlock’s cousin Violet, the detective and his blogger take a trip to Edinburgh. John discovers more about the Holmes family and Sherlock than he bargained for, but tries not to run screaming. (AKA the one season 4 never happend)[written by @snorklepie ]

Two Two One Bravo Baker (explicit, more than 12 hours) read by @aranel-parmadil : Captain John Watson of 40 Commando, the Royal Marines, is assigned to protect and assist Sherlock Holmes as he investigates what appears to be a simple war atrocity in Afghanistan. An intense attraction ignites between the two men as they uncover a conspiracy that threatens everything they’ve ever known, but Sherlock is as much hunted as hunter, and everyone close to him is in deadly danger. Can he solve the case in time to save himself and John? (Aka the one before the canon). [written by abundantlyqueer]

“Sugar me Sweet” (mature, 20 minutes) read by @consultingsmartarse : “Let’s get started, shall we?” Sherlock says as he sheds his coat. A black, diaphanous shirt hangs loose on his shoulders, clings tight to his abdomen. A pair of studded, leather trousers like a second skin. They complement the curve of his plump arse and emphasize the length of his outrageously long legs. Powerful thighs. Muscular calves and…John’s not entirely sure how Sherlock got himself in them, but he’s not complaining. On the contrary. A bit distracted by the idea of him removing them, honestly. Peeling them off, and he’d have to go slow. May even need a little help. (AKA different first meeting) [written by penumbra]

Something different aka Alternative Universe for the win

“The Star-crossed series” (14 parts, rated from teen to explicit, more than 12 hours) read by @aranel-parmadil : Richard, Duke of Gloucester, is 29 years old and needs a break from snide whispers before he just stabs someone. But in his place of sanctuary is a beautiful stranger -Khan Noonien Singh, victim of a time surge after an experiment goes wrong. At first it seems they’ll fight, but then other kinds of duelling seem more appealing.But these two men are making bad choices, and their fates are written in the stars. Will their souls ever learn to make better choices? How long will it take them to find each other again, and what will they have to learn before they do? [written by 221b_hound; art work by @missmuffin221 ]

“Mise en place” (mature, more than 12 hours) read by @consultingsmartarse : John Watson had no intentions of taking over the family business, but when he returns from Afghanistan, battered and bruised, and discovers that his sister Harry has run their restaurant into the ground, he doesn’t have much choice. There’s only one thing that can save the Empire from closing for good – the celebrity star of the BBC series Restaurant Reconstructed, Chef Sherlock Holmes. [written by @azriona ]

“Working on the Edges” (mature, 7 hours) read by @consultingsmartarse and @aranel-parmadil : No matter where you put Sherlock and John, they click. Including the Winter Olympics. [written by @earlgreytea68 ; art work by @anotherwellkeptsecret]

“Northwest Passage” (explicit, more than 12 hours) read by @lockedinjohnlock-podfics : Seven years ago, Captain John Watson of the Canadian Forces Medical Service withdrew from society, seeking a simple, isolated life in the distant northern wilderness of Canada. Though he survives from one day to the next, he doesn’t truly live until someone from his dark past calls in a favor and turns his world upside-down with the introduction of Sherlock Holmes. [written by @kryptaria ; art work by kacaso]

And, of course, go check out @bagofthumbs podfic. “Best & Brightest Creatures” really is a marvel. @lockedinjohnlock-podfics newest podfic “Half a Dozen Dances” (so hot!).

Podfic is an audio recording of fanfic , read aloud by a fan (or several). The term is also used as a verb; someone may ask to podfic someone else's story, or spend an afternoon podficcing . A podfic of a slash story may be called podslash . Podfic is also known as audiofic .

A fan who produces podfics can be called a podficcer , a podfic reader , or a podfic artist . Some such people have strong feelings regarding this designation.

Sometimes fans podfic their own stories; however, most podficcers read stories by a variety of authors. It is customary to ask permission (though this topic has been debated in fandom) before podficcing someone's else's story, due to respect for other fans' works (or copyright law). Some podficcers also write and link to their Dear Author letter .

Some fanfic writers will post a blanket statement , stating that derivative or transformative works by other fans (such as a podfic, remix or translation into another language) have been pre-approved and there is no need to ask permission before creating such a work. See Blanket Permission to Podfic for a compiled list of fans who have pre-approved podfic.

Some fans use the term podfics and podcasts interchangeably; [1] while some podcasts include readings of fanfiction, they are not the same thing.

History of Podfic

Fans have been recording fanfiction for as long as they have had the means. However, the idea of recording fanfiction seems to have been reinvented several times, for each generation of technological development and sometimes simultaneously in different contemporary communities. Because the term "podfic" has become well known, it is sometimes applied broadly to all fanfiction audio past and present. It is not clear whether the podfic trend that started in the 2000s is an outgrowth of earlier fanfiction audio communities.

For recordings in the Zine era , see Fan Fiction Audio Recording .

Xena audiofic was distributed on tapes (see Carol's Xena Fan Fiction Tape Consortium ) as early as 1996 [2] and later on burned CDs. [3] Femslash fan Tarae remembers first seeing WordWarrior 's Xena fanfic recordings listed on a website in 1997, but was unable to acquire the tapes due to living in Europe. [4] Tarae also recalls Xena fans making "fanfic mix tapes" to give to other women they crushed on at conventions. [4] The recorded stories back then were called "audio fan fiction" [3] or "audio fiction", [4] although this may still be the Xena fandom term for podfic (as of 2009). [5]

The present podfic community, as well as the term itself, may only date back to the mid-2000s. [6] [7] [8] [9] A few podficcers report that they were recording podfic in the early 2000s, but didn't call it by that name. [10] In October 2003, a group of Lotrips fans began the Fiction Aloud 2003 project on LJ . [11] Some podficcers point to the sbp_aloud project as the genesis of modern podfic, or at least their own introduction to recording fanfic. [12] sbp_aloud, a project on LiveJournal to record an audiobook of The Shoebox Project , was established in 2004; sbp_aloud was inspired by hpreadaloud , a fannish audiobook project for Harry Potter canon, and had no connections to earlier forms of fanfiction-on-tape. [13]

A number of LiveJournal communities began to appear , starting in August 2005 with podslash . Podslash uses the term "podcast" rather than "podfic", suggesting that the term, if not the practice, was as much inspired by the new non-fannish phenomenon of podcasting as previous fannish efforts to create audio recordings of fanfic. Alternatively, the pod in podfic may be derived from iPod , just as podcast is, but have no other connection to podcasting.

As of 2012, Amplificathon was the main hub of the multifannish podficcer community on LiveJournal and Dreamwidth, though podfic activity could be found in many other journal communities, as well as other places on the Internet. [14] Amplificathon is associated with the largest multifandom podfic archive, the Audiofic Archive , started in 2006. As LJ lost popularity, much of the conversation about podfic shifted to Twitter . [15] [16] Certain megafandoms like Supernatural , Sherlock , and MCU also developed a podfic presence on Tumblr .

A lot of fandom twitter is locked, so podfic communities can be hard to find on twitter. As discord became a popular fandom platform, fans started at least one general podfic discord server . After the data loss at Audiofic Archive , Archive of Our Own is probably the largest public resource for podfic; as of January 2023, the Podfic tag contains over 50,000 works. In the late 2010s some podficcers also started hosting their works at the Internet Archive ; as of December 2021 there are over 7,000 public items in the podfic tag . Podfic also exists on youtube , sound cloud , and elsewhere.

Fans began holding podfic-related panels and meetups at conventions , and in 2016 started the first podfic convention, Podfication (held in Minnesota, USA). Europodfriends (held in Berlin, Germany) then started up as an alternative for European podficcers. Fanworkscon (Michigan, USA) is a multimedia fanwork convention started in 2019 that has programming dedicated to podfic.

While audio fanfiction was once recorded on analogue technology (cassette tapes, CDs), podfic is now primarily digital.

Podfics at the Audiofic Archive generally consist of an mp3 file containing a reading of a single fanfic, although sometimes the file is converted into an m4b audiobook, called a podbook in fannish vernacular. (Podbooks are usually produced with cover art that will display on the screens of mp3 players and smart phones.) Collections of stories bundled together in a single file or in an "album" of files are somewhat less common. [17] Longer stories are sometimes divided into several files, depending on the podficcer's preference and the format of the original story.

Meanwhile, some fannish podcasters have been including fanfic readings in their podcast episodes, or producing podcasts that consist entirely of fanfic readings. For example, Amy Boatman read classic Xena stories in a weekly Xena Fanfiction Podcast in 2007. The Xena & Ubers podcast was started in 2008 and is still going as of 2014. In December 2013, a Willow/Tara fanfiction podcast called Under Your Spell [3] was started. More recently in December 2022, Danmei Podfics With Gem was created, covering multifandom danmei fics.

Technical Aspects of Creating Podfic

In the user info of the first podfic community on Livejournal, podslash, community mod oulangi states that "the equipment for [making podfics] can be as simple as the mic & bundled software that came with your computer to a high tech recording studio." [18] As smartphones became widespread, some fans began recording on their phones. [19]

While there are many available programs for audio recording, Audacity is one of the most popular within fandom as it is free, is fairly intuitive, and is available for PC, Mac, and Linux. Several podficcers have posted tips for recording successfully - including noise reduction and information on bit rates, along with other technical explanations. [20] Mac users have posted Garageband tutorials as well. [21] [22]

The LiveJournal community podfic_tips , created in 2008, includes advice on many technical as well as artistic challenges to creating podfic.

• Podblocked - glossary term for being prevented from recording.

Distributing Podfic

Distribution methods vary. Some podfic may circulate by email or through locked communities and forums, while other podficcers advertise, distribute, or link to their creations publicly. Publicly available podfic files are usually uploaded to a free file-hosting service, the podficcer's own website, very occasionally the author's website [23] , an archive such as the Audiofic Archive , or all of the above. Once the file is uploaded, other fans can then download and listen to the podfic anywhere, any time (depending on their access to technology).

Over time, streaming has become more widely available, and more modern free file hosting allows for some form of streaming, unlike the earliest generation of sites used by podficcers (YouSendIt, MegaUpload, MediaFire, etc.). Although intended for video streaming, Youtube has always been used by some for audio streaming; other streaming options used by podficcers include SoundCloud , as well as file hosts like Dropbox, Box.com, Google Drive, etc. that that allow playback from the download page. Internet Archive is a noncommercial streaming option increasingly adopted since the late 2010s. paraka has provided noncommercial free podfic hosting to a number of fans for many years. The AO3 allows embedded audio players, but does not provide hosting. Historically, podfics hosted on the Audiofic Archive were zipped to prevent streaming, but when the site changed owners in 2021, the new owners indicated that streaming would become an option.

Streaming has a number of benefits, including allowing people to listen to the podfic on different computers, allowing listeners to "try before downloading" and making it easier to listen to more shorter podfics. [24] For listeners accessing podfic on their mobile devices, streaming is much easier than downloading.

Podficcers have posted documentation on hosting and streaming podfics.

• new ao3 audio tag by godoflaundrybaskets (2019)
• A Breakdown of Podfic Hosting Options by godoflaundrybaskets (2020)

Not all podficcers in the English-language podfic community are native English speakers, and some have produced podfic in other languages. The Audiofic Archive , an English-language site, hosts podfic in 13 other languages , including Elvish ; the most popular language other than English is Spanish, with 29 podfics as of 2022.

French-speaking fandom has also become interested in podfic, with at least one archive/forum started in 2009, audiofics . At the time it was opened, a post on the main forum noted that there wasn't much in the way of French podfic on the internet. [25]

In December 2011 the German multi-fandom archive Animexx.de site admin cato announced the implementation of a new subsection for the fanfiction archive on the site for "Fanfiction-Hörbücher und -spiele" (fanfiction audio books and audio dramas). [26] As of July 2014 the section has about 70 fanworks listed, among these mostly German podfic (many works for original stories), podcasts and other audio-based fanworks. [27]

As of 2022, AO3 has a few non-English podfics in several languages. The most popular language for podfic on the archive after English appears to be Russian ( 62 works ).

Common meta discussion topics have included feedback , accents , permission , cover art , metadata , podfic's status as a creative work, [28] [29] [30] [31] and whether or how to include music. [32] [33] [34] Pod Aware , a week-long celebration of podfic begun in November 2011 and repeated in 2012 and 2014, has featured a lot of discussions about some of the common meta topics.

A dreamwidth community , podficmeta , was created in January 2010 "to articulate and debate aesthetic theories about podfic." [35]

A few podfic-specific podcast series have been created that include meta discussions: Auralphonic (2014-2018) and Behind the Pod (2019-present).

Some challenges have been created as a direct result of conversations about issues in podficcing: for example, welovepodfic (to encourage feedback ), multipodicity (to encourage repodding ), and Pod Together (to "dispel some of the sense that podfic is nothing but a format shift for stories intended to be read on paper").

Specific Meta Essays and Posts

• So you wanna be podficced? , Archived version by akamine_chan ("Here's a handy-dandy guide that may help you get your wish.") (January 2015)

Listening to Podfic

A lot of podfic meta focuses on the listening experience. Depending on their preferences and the equipment available to them, fans listen to podfic in a variety of environments: at the home or office computer, in the car, on public transportation, at bedtime, or in the great outdoors. Many prefer to listen in situations where they would not otherwise be able to read fanfiction, such as during their daily commute. The listener's ability to multitask may restrict their choice of venue.

Podfic can be a useful service as well as an artistic endeavor for blind fans and fans who have difficulty reading onscreen. Accessibility issues are sometimes overlooked in podficcer discussions about the merits of podfic, though in non-podficcer spaces, accessibility issues are sometimes emphasized more than the artistic attributes. Sensory issues go both ways; some fans prefer to be able to listen instead of read, and others have reported more difficulty following audio than reading text.

theleanansidhe :

HEEEYY, I’ve created a short little survey about podfic! I want to get an idea of who listens (or doesn’t listen) to podfic and how they’re involved in fandom.  Please take it here ! I’m interested to see how many people listen to podfic and participate in that part of the fandom. I’ve made the responses doc public here for anybody who is also curious.  It’s a real short survey for now, but if you think of anything I should add or change, just drop me me a message in my ask or tweet at me . Please reblog this - getting as many responses as possible is the way to get truly representative results.

Part 1 - An Exercise in Worthless

An Exercise in Worthless

for Cakebang

Supernatural

TEXT | PODFIC

Author:  Beastofthesky

Reader:   Skyunicorn

Length:  3:20:46 hours

Characters:  Dean Winchester, Castiel, Sam Winchester, 

Summary:  

“I mean, you’re–” He gestures at Cas, in his neat oxford shirt and nice pants. “–and I’m a high school dropout who tattoos for a living.”

Wherein Dean makes a hefty living as a tattoo artist who owns the space next to Gabriel’s cafe. Sam attends the local university. When Gabe’s cousin comes to live with him while starting grad school at Sam’s university, Dean thinks for sure that all his negative karma’s coming to bite him in the ass because Cas clearly has a thing for Sam. No one would ever choose him over Sam. That’s just logic.
