On Sunday I was browsing through old posts on my journal when I came on mergatrude saying she'd love to hear me read her due South F/K sonnet April 2nd, 1998. And I said I'd try to remember that for her birthday. So then I checked her profile to see when her birthday was, and it turned out to be that very day! So of course I had to record it, but FRTDNEATJ I didn't get around to posting it until today. /o\

Anyway, here it is:



Mergatrude, I hope you had a good birthday and that you'll have a good year to come! *hugs*

Happy birthday, helens78! You've brought me so much joy with your recording of my Shifter stories that I wanted to give you something back. I recorded this up in the mountains, and I've sat on it for two months--see, I am good at keeping secrets. : )

I hope you're having a good birthday! *hugs*

Title: What's a Good Friend to Do?
Author: helens78
Reader: luzula
Fandom: due South
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17
Length: 1 h 19 m 36 s
Author's summary: Fraser gets hit with some kind of mysterious powder! All of a sudden, Fraser needs sex. A lot of sex.
Notes: I've recorded so much gen lately that I've almost forgotten how much I enjoy recording porn. And this story is pretty much one long sex scene, so that worked out well. *g* I also really enjoyed reading in Ray POV.

Happy birthday, Ande! I wish you many good things today and in the year to come. *hugs you tight*

I hope you like this! I even did stealthy research (via Aka) to see if you were a fan of crossdressing. : )

Title: Volcanic Geranium
Author: zelempa
Reader: luzula
Fandom: due South
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: R
Length: 2 h 21 m 36 s
Author's summary: Fraser raised his eyebrows thoughtfully. "Lipstick colour names can be rather obscure. I assume it's a metaphor to describe something fragile and lovely but also dangerous and potentially capable of raining hot destruction upon an unsuspecting citizenry. On the other hand, it may refer to the fact that this particular coral shade is common to molten lava and geraniums. Don't lick it."

"It tastes like Jujubes," Ray reported.

"Nevertheless, resist the urge."

Notes: Oof, this one was a challenge. The very thing I love about this story--the comedy and the snappy dialogue--was what made it hard to record. I don't think I've ever done so many retakes. Still, it's fun to stretch yourself and try something new. Thanks to the author for letting me record it!

I finally triumphed over the crappy internet connection and managed to upload this! Anyway, I know this is a day late, but it's for akamine_chan's birthday. Aka, I hope you had a good birthday and that the coming year will bring good things to you, too. *hugs you tight*

Title: Bright Moon, Who Goes Farther Still
Author: hossgal
Reader: luzula
Fandom: Watership Down gen
Rating: PG
Length: 1 h 37 m 15 s
Author's summary: Who is the teller, and who is the one whose tale is told?
The wind twists, turns into what it had once been;
Who is the foundling, and who is the seeker bold?
The rain flows down the hills and becomes the sea again.

Notes: This story interweaves one of the rabbits' traditional tales with Hyzenthlay's story in Efrafa before she escaped to Watership Down. I love the focus on the does, and I also love the oral storytelling structure--it's so much fun to read aloud. This is the first time I experiment with using sounds other than my own voice. These ones are recorded in the woods close to where I live, and are used only to mark transitions in the story (no speaking over sounds). Thanks to the author for letting me record it, and thanks to malnpudl for helpful beta-listening!

A while ago, I recced vsee some awesome Sherlock Holmes podfic, and it got her hooked on the fandom. So I figure I could provide her with some more SH podfic. Happy birthday, vsee! *hugs* I hope you have a really good birthday.

Also, yesterday I posted another podfic over on amplificathon, and I guess I should post it here, too.

Title: The World Turned Upside Down

Rating: NC-17
Length: 1 h 51 m 47 s
Summary: Jack and Stephen get married and have a baby.
Notes: Huh, reading in this fandom was more difficult than I expected, but I think I got the hang of it after a while. It pleases me that a lot of the story takes place on the Baltic Sea, which is where I live. : ) Thanks to the author for the blanket permission!

Happy birthday, Nos! I recorded a spontaneous little podficlet for you. I had a hard time choosing, because you really have a lot of great ficlets. I was hesitating between this one, Deserted, Space and Time, and...well, you can see there was a lot I wanted to record. I really like your gen--it makes me think.

So, it should be the right date where you live, I hope... Happy birthday, zabira! You're a wonderful and generous person and without your encouragement I might never have started podficcing. In honor of that, here's a recording of one of my own stories that you once asked me to make, but that it took me a long time to get around to. It's also kind of fitting for your new status as Captain Whimsy, because it's wingfic. : )

Happy birthday, akamine_chan! I wrote you some domestic F/K porn, I hope you enjoy it and that you have a wonderful birthday. &hearts

Title: Right Here
Author: Luzula
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17
Length: about 1500 words
Notes: Thanks to spuffyduds for the beta! This story is inspired by a line in keerawa's Slow and Easy that kind of stayed with me--I'm sure you can realize which one if you go and read it. Hmm, maybe I should have a tag saying "keerawa is my muse". *g*
