Podfic Post of Dewm
Since I've had balls-all for internet for so long, I've been listening to SO MUCH podfic, it's just not even funny. Well, some of it's funny. And it's been keeping my brain alive these past couple weeks, so I thought I'd share the love.
Places to Find Podfic:
-Motel Wincest - Wonderful comm; all wincest/J2.
-Electronic Voice Phenomena - a community that (on a monthly basis, I believe) compiled various genres of SPN podfic into a podcast. As far as I know, the comm is now inactive.
-iSlash - this comm is multi-fandom, but there are quite a lot of SPN fics.
-Audiofic - the Archive to End All Archives. About 95% of all recorded fics are archived on this exhaustive, idiot-proof, hugely multi-fandom site. For individual recs, when possible, I will be linking here.
Reader Recs:
(The readers that I personally adore above all others; links lead to the audiofic profiles, as I'm not sure whether all these readers have LJ.
IMHO, the really good readers are those who read like they're not reading. Repeating words off your browser is not good reading; those who can read like they're having a conversation with the listener are what really sell it for me. I know there are tonnes I'm missing, but it's hard to sort through my massive itunes collection!)
-sadcypress - her reading is amazing; her comedic timing brilliant, her inflections and voices perfect, and the fics she chooses are usually
either hilarious, or very thought provoking.
-juice817 - she has done SO. MANY. good fics, I can't even. She reads long ones, short ones, J2 AU, J2, wincest... Everything. And she does it *well*. She doesn't read like she's repeating stuff off a page, more like the words just spring into her head complete with accents, emotion, and background, and the fact that the stories are written down is purely incidental.
-candle beck - this dude is amazing. I don't want to use too many personal pronouns, because I'm not *positive* that it's a guy, mostly because there are so few dudes in the wincest fandom, so I'm still in awed denial (I'm sorry, man, if you're reading this and being offended), but he (?!) reads all his own work, and it comes across so heartwrenchingly beautiful, it's just. Guh.
-pennyplainknits - a lot of different work, British accent, very clear and organic.
-dodificus - I suppose her voice might take some getting used to, because she sounds kind of like a ten year old British girl, but her reading is hilariously dry and always vastly entertaining.
- raitala - (again, take the personal pronouns with a grain of salt, because I'm just not *positive*) she (?) has specifically requested that her work not be archived, so the link is to her personal journal. Reads in the Harry Potter fandom, predominately Harry/Draco (My HP OTP), and does so AMAZINGLY. I have never, ever, ever heard Draco done so motherfucking well. It just slays me.
-fayjay - reads mostly Dean/Cas, but some wincest thrown in there, too. Totally amazing.
Best. Podfics. Ever.:
(Ones I've listened to so many freaking times, I can recite vast sections, verbatim, unbidden, and unappreciated. I'm linking to the audiobook versions, when possible- which have the bonuses of a) not showing up on shuffle, and b) saving your spot if you want to listen to something else for a while- but there are usually mp3 versions available.)

Green and Gamboge - read by teaatsix, written by sevenfists
Wincest. Oh. My. God. Soooo funny. So funny that I made my brother listen to it with me over and over (skipping the porn parts, because with my little brother? Yeah, no), and now we quote it to each other constantly. In this one, a bunch of adorable little fuzzy gremlins attach themselves to Dean, and cause hella trouble.
I Can Has Cheezburger? - read by teaatsix, written by hansbekhart

Unequivocal Sex Invite - read by dodificus, written by miss begonia
J2 AU. In which Jensen is the ditziest, prettiest, snarkiest gay boy ever, and Jared is his unwashed, Radiohead-listening, flannel-wearing stepbrother. I have listened to this fic so many fucking times, it's shameful. Probably my fave podfic of all time. Tom and Mike and Chad are all so blisteringly perfect, and Jensen's such a space cadet, it's just amazing.
Your Brains are No Match for My Tractorbeam - read by juice817, written by chash
J2 AU. Jensen is a severely socially introverted geeky genius. Jared, his gorgous next-door neighbour, might just find that a little bit hot. Maybe?
