Podfic recs + some due South meta thoughts

1) I posted podfic recs for Amplirecathon. Check out all the other recs, too! I have downloaded so much new stuff the last two weeks.

2) In my ongoing but very slow due South rewatch, I've reached "We Are the Eggmen". And wow, I've forgotten how good that episode is (well, except for the Ray V subplot with the lottery ticket). I love Meg here! There are none of the cringeworthy elements that make their occasional appearance in S3/4. There's Cloutier and the sexual harassment, and Meg and Fraser talking about that, and then they go do action stuff together. And I also love the egg guy and his devotion to his chickens. I am just entirely delighted by this episode.

3) After reading Dira Sudis' psychically-bonded-wolves-in-the-military series, I am wondering what could be done with that in due South (yes, I know petra wrote it already, but it was set in Monette/Bear's original world, not in the modern day). I mean, obviously the RCMP would have bonded wolves, and Dief is bonded to Fraser. But aside from that, I can't figure out what the angle would be. Hmmmm. This is similar to my thoughts on a His Dark Materials AU for due South. I mean, it's obvious that Dief would be Fraser's daemon, but I can't figure out what one would do with it besides that.

OTOH, I do someday intend to turn Dief into a dragon and write a Temeraire AU, and I know exactly what I want to do with that.

And while I'm talking about AU:s, do go and answer sage's poll about a due South AU challenge!
