Podfic: a success

[community profile] snowflake_challenge number 9 is to celebrate a personal win from the last year. And one fannish thing I'm especially proud of from the last year is that I started recording podfic! I made three podfics in 2022, all for Flight of the Heron:

It's been great fun, and very rewarding, branching out into a new kind of fanwork creation and getting to appreciate the fics, the characters and the fandom in general in a new way! A really good thing. And thank you to [personal profile] luzula for your encouragement and inspiration <3

I definitely intend to make more podfic this year—I have been stymied by having a couple of nasty colds in December, which left a lingering cough and my voice not quite in its usual state for a while, but it's almost entirely cleared up now. And I know which fic I want to record next. :D

Good luck with your podfic! I feel you on the colds in December thing - I had something weird around then and my coworker thinks I still sound bunged up, I don't even notice so I don't know if I just got used to it?

That's awesome! Congrats on branching out and trying a new format. I hope you feel better soon and best of luck in your podficcing in the upcoming year! :D

I've really enjoyed the podfic of yours that I've listened to -- I'm glad that it's been such a good experience for you thus far, and best of luck for future ventures! <3 (and ugh, colds, I know what you mean.)

Yay! I have your third one still to listen to, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you tackle next. : )
