Prizes for me!

[luzula]

I've been having a feedback binge, and I'm almost caught up on everything I read while I was away. \o/

And now, although it's a bit un-Swedish of me, I'm going to brag a little. I just got my prizes for coming in third in the amplificathon contest! They put all my podfics for the contest into one long anthology, and also gave me this cool prize banner, with images from all the fandoms I'd recorded in:



Most of all, though, I got a prize podfic! I'd asked for one of my own stories, and aphelant chose my self-insertion fic Dogs Have All the Fun, which I wrote for a challenge at ds_flashfiction. This makes me feel slightly embarrassed, but her reading is really lovely. She totally captures my squeeing over Fraser's dogsled team, as well as Ray and Fraser! You can download the podfic over here.

If you haven't seen, there's a Pod Bang planned at amplificathon. It's a gift exchange where you choose and record a (minimum) 30,000 word fic for someone else, based on a list of fandoms they'd like fic in. Hmm, hmm. I haven't decided whether to sign up. I'm leaning towards no, actually--I am kind of itching to record some podfic soon, but 30,000 words is a lot, and I like to be free to choose what fic to record.

For now, please comment at the LJ entry.

Congratulations! Wow, that's a lot of different fandoms, i'm impressed.

[luzula]

Thanks! Yeah, I'm really quite multi-fannish, but all the fandoms except due South are tiny. And I can apparently only write due South.

And, oddly, I don't see Due South represented in that banner. Am I missing it?*

Congratulations! Your podfic is wonderful and definitely deserved acknowledgment and prizes. :)

*Hm, I think I just misunderstood what you meant by "all the fandoms I'd recorded in." You meant for the contest only, I guess. Huh...you didn't record DS for the contest? That's too bad....

[luzula]

No, you're not missing it! I intentionally didn't record any due South for amplificathon--I wanted to concentrate on rare fandoms. (Although for some reason they put SGA on the banner, which I definitely didn't record. Oh well.)

Now, though, I'm pondering which long due South fic I should record next. : )

I will look forward to it! I need dS podfic for the fall semester. :)

What's the fandom with the rabbits?

[luzula]

That's Richard Adam's Watership Down! I loved that book as a kid, and still do.

[sundayscat.livejournal.com]

Oh i loved that book too! And another one he wrote about a pair of dogs escaping from a research facility, i think it was called "Pesthundarna" in swedish. I must go download the Watership Down podfic!
(But why on earth did he name a story about rabbits "Watership Down", am i missing something? It sounds like a war story set on board a submarine to me.)

[luzula]

Ahaha. I never thought of it that way. Well, "down" can also mean a high, grassy heathland. No idea about the "watership" part, though--it's just a name. If you want more fan fiction from it, there's another awesome Yuletide story for it here. It's pretty long, or I would've recorded that instead.
