friendship fic, meta smackdown, podfic, and oops a new fandom

[sophinisba]

-slightlytookish responded to my request for Gwen and Merlin uni AU at the friendship fic fest! Go read Sandwiches and Chaucer, it's lovely!

-This morning a friend pointed to an annoying post by someone who doesn't know anything about podfic. I was annoyed but rather than get involved I did a little bit of recording (finally started in on my podficbigbang project!) and then went out to do some things. But when I got back there were a bunch of awesome comments on that post from people who know things about podfic (or about like, how not to make annoying posts about things you don't know anything about)! Yay, smart fans!

-While I was out today I was enjoying listening to pandarus's podfic of her own The Student Prince. I had read about halfway through that fic a couple months ago and was a little frustrated by how slow the story was in moving forward, but listening to it is such a pleasure that now I'm perfectly happy that it's so long. Fayjay has such a smooth and soothing voice and I also love the way she does the funny parts.

-I may possibly have started reading bandom fic. /o\

Okay. So when you preface your post with: I am not part of the "podfic" community. I don't listen to podfics, or audiobooks in general, nor do I produce them., then go on to a post about that very community you know, really, nothing about...

Well, let's just say you start off with a credibility of about -nth to infinity, amirite?

In other news, podfic remains awesome and I'm excited, as a listener, about the podficbigbang!

Ah ha ha that post, so crazy-making!

I had really not done much podficcing in the last few weeks, after making a really good start on chromatic_podfic in early January. Say, do you have any recs or suggestions for HP fics I could do for that? Say between 3000 and 10,000 words?

[timeasmymeasure]

Does it have to be one long fic? Or can it be multiple? I could definitely rec you some that I've been itching to have podficced but I'm not sure I could find any at 3000+ words.

[sophinisba]

I was aiming to do longer ones (5000-10,000) for this project, but I'll definitely take shorter recs!

[timeasmymeasure]

Ask and ye shall receive femmeslash recs. I tried to find the longest fics I could; femmeslash because that's an even rarer place to find characters of color in HP Fandom (though you may have already read these already, sorry about that).

Real Methods of Divination - Bitchwill - Lavender/Parvati - 4800 words - none given by the author

The Trade of Queens - tristesses - Cho/Pansy - 4200 words - Pansy Parkinson always gets what she wants, and she's decided she wants Cho Chang. Cho, however, has a plan. (Dub-con, slight orgasm delay/denial, some bondage, biting/pinching, slight D/s dynamics)

This Absolutely Brilliant Thing - magnetic_pole - Lavender/Parvati - There should be another word for what they have but there isn’t, so Lavender secretly calls it their Thing. (remix of woldy's Three Reasons) - 2400 words

The Backalley Annual Cocksucking Contest - woldy - Rita Skeeter/Mrs. Zabini - 1600 words - It wasn't anything as simple as sex appeal; if I had to put my finger on it I'd say they had charisma. And a talent for cocksucking, of course.

Oral History - acadine - Cho/Padma - 1500 words - Padma Patil is starting to get fed up with certain aspects of Hogwarts' curriculum. How does she cope?

Devotions - ldymusyc - Padma/Parvati - 1300 words - Parvati, a beautiful goddess, craves worship and love from her admirers, and she rewards them well. (warnings for incest)

Wedding Dress - snarkyscorp - Narcissa/Mrs. Zabini - Narcissa Malfoy stood like a doll at the threshold of the room, her long blond hair let loose in ringlets today, pink lips pursed to hide a grin. - 825 words - warns for breathplay - really short but really hot

[arobynsung]

Oh and definitely this one:
Seven ways to commit a murder (Mrs Zabini/husbands, NC-17) at 7000+ words.

[sophinisba]

Oh cool, thank you!

I sent in my submissions earlier tonight and didn't end up having any HP ones, but the comm is going to stay open after this challenge so I'll be able to do more another time.

I resisted for so long lol but you and themadlurker finally broke me down with your slavefic recs.
