Podfic of Academic Punk!

[luzula]

Wow, this seems to be the weekend of fannish productivity for me. So much podficcing. This one has been a WIP for about a month and a half, and I finally got around to finishing it! Mmm, I love my new recording equipment.

Reader's notes: This story is one of the classics of the fandom, and one of my favorite AU:s. Ray and Fraser are English professors, and the canon is adapted wonderfully to fit this scenario. I love the slow and delicious courtship in this story. Thanks to thehoyden for letting me record it, I enjoyed it! If anyone wants smaller files with lower quality, I'd be glad to upload some. ETA: Almost forgot, akamine_chan beta-listened to the first part of this. Any mispronunciations in the other parts are my fault, obviously.

Hooray! I just finished listening to this one and you did a FABULOUS job! Truthfully, this isn't my favourite dS AU - I think it's because I did my graduate training in English and *know* people at the University of Guelph, and for some reason all of that material hits too close to home (I know, I know, I'm a weirdo).

But listening to your podfic made me see something new in the story, and you did such a wonderful job articulating Fraser's heartbreak and Ray's sensitive and very appealing personality. I adored them both here, and I think the investment in a new mic has been worth it: the story was clear and precise and your reading was very well done. Great job!

Well, I see what you mean--there's this other AU where Fraser is a Ph D student and Ray is his advisor, and that one squicks me a just a little bit, having been a Ph D student.

I'm glad you could appreciate it anyway, though! And, yeah, I love my new recording equipment. It's actually portable, so I can record without a computer.
