Listen to me
Audiofic or podfic are recordings made of fanfiction in a digital format (mp3, mp4 or audiobook) that can be downloaded and played on an mp3 player.
Listening to a story gives me a new way into it. Hearing every word often gives me a greater appreciation for the author’s use of language, or story structure. The reader of course brings their own interpretation and emphasis to the text and can make me discover new layers to a story. Often my attention will be drawn to something I may have skimmed on my own reading. Audiofic lets me listen to fanfic wherever I am (and maybe I get a bit of a thrill listening to porn in public places).
The following are list of sites that feature Supernatural Audiofic.
*Audiofic: A multi-fandom archive for podfic run by general_jinjur. Beautifully organised, and looking, with a general search function, and tags to locate stories by author, reader, fandom or pairing. Each entry links to a download of the recording, and there are also links to the text and the reader.
*Spn_audio_novel: recordings of novel-length fanfiction
*spn_gen_podfics: recordings of Gen fiction
*motelwincest aka Sounds from a motel bed has recordings of Wincest fic
*spnfic_podcast aka EVP : An LJ comm producing podcasts combining fanfic and music. Not currently active, but you can still download the podcasts.
*podfic_tips is an LJ community providing tutorials and advice for people recording podfics.
You can find stories across genres and ratings, ranging in length from 5 minutes to nine hours. Over the next few months I’ll be reccing the best audiofic I find.
Links are to the reader page at Audiofic. You'll find links to the download, as well as the original story there.
* issaro has an beautiful voice, and a wonderful sense of pacing. Her characterisations are subtle yet incredibly vivid. And her reading makes sex scenes sizzle. Damn I’d listen to her read the telephone book! issaro also has a journal specifically for her podcasts, and a list where you can suggest fics for recording at fanfic_read_by.
Hard to chose but here are just a couple of my favourite recordings by issaro:
** The Jared Padalecki Project by esohpe (Jared/Jensen, NC-17). Set five years after the end of Supernatural, Jared has a successful movie career, while Jensen has a beer can sculpture in his kitchen. Great character voices, and a brilliant structure that has a mystery in the past that unfolds during the tension of the boys working together after five years of estrangement.
** Reap the Wild Wind by maygra (Supernatural AU, Gen). The first story in the Reaper verse. A wonderfully imaginative premise, and a satisfying portrait of Sam and Dean’s relationship - under extraordinary circumstances.
* nu_breed has only done one recording so far, but what an achievement! She brings an incredible emotional intensity to have you seen him whom my soul loves by veronamay - a J2 AU (NC-17) where Jensen is a conflicted priest whose temptation comes in the form of Jared Padalecki.
* teastsix has an infectious bubbly style - she reads with a grin in her voice!
** Pillow Talk by eight_horizon (Sam/Dean, R). Hilarious first time fic with great banter.
** Green and Gamboge by sevenfists (Sam/Dean, R). Dean ends up with a - well, what is the collective term for gremlins? Funny but also a great exploration of Sam and Dean and how they finally get around to doing it. (Blame the gremlins!)
