Podfic! Bandom Podfic, even! OMG!
Remember how I mentioned a few times that I was working on a podfic? Because OH MY GOD I ACTUALLY FINISHED IT. I started working on this half a year ago. Six. Months. Ago. Dear god. I'm so happy that I actually did it and I'm actually quite satisfied with how it turned out. So here it is, my first ever podfic:
Awesome cover is awesome and gorgeous and was made by the lovely reena_jenkins. <3 The story is one of my all-time favourites from my years in bandom, Just Can't Get Enough by passe_simple. Featuring my favourite band (MCR), my favourite pairings (Frank/Gerard and a side of Bob/Brian), too many hilarious lines of dialouge to count and also a bunny. And it's a college AU. College AUs are always awesome. :D
The music I used is, obviously, Just Can't Get Enough by Depeche Mode because I'm not very creative. I didn't know this song before I started looking for music to use as scene breaks (a bit before my time), but it reminds me of Westerland by Die Ärzte, so I like it. Also those trumpets in the instrumental part are awesome.
When I first decided that I was going to finally record a podfic, I wanted to look for a story that wasn't too long, and yeah, great planning skills self, this is an hour and 9 minutes long. *facepalm* I seriously underestimated the amount of time it would take me to record 9000 words (several times) and then edit it. Editing, you guys. Editing is hard. I now have even more respect for people who put out podfics that are several hours long.
My point is, it might have taken me forever, but I still loved working on this podfic because Just Can't Get Enough is an amazing and funny and extremely memorable story that I never get tired of. So much fun to read out loud and also weirdly fun to talk along to myself reading it while editing (and while listening to the final version on the train, which hopefully didn't make me look like too much of a crazy person).
My accent (and inability to pronounce some words) kind of annoyed me at times, but people like accents, right? Also I noticed the way I tend to EMPHASIZE every SECOND or sometimes THIRD word. Huh.
Anyway, thanks to passe_simple for writing this story and allowing me to record it and thanks to reena_jenkinsfor the above cover (ugh, would you look at Frank's mouth? Gorgeous.), for encouraging me to start doing this in the first place and for offering to listen to it before I unleashed it onto the Internet at large. (She also told me how the rest of the world pronounces Brian's last name. It sounds so weird that way, you guys. So weird.)
Here's the mediafire download link and here's the archive link - there you can also find a podbook version thatcybel kindly made for me. I hope you enjoy. <3
