New podfic for our final official posting day! 🦭🦭🦭✨✨✨

[Podfic] The Selkie and his Boy

A Carry On podfic by @hushed-chorus for the @caught-on-tape-fest

Every year the Grimms spend a week vacationing by the seaside. One solstice morning, a 14-year-old Baz meets a strange but gorgeous boy called Simon. By the end of the day, he's hopelessly besotted. But Simon doesn't come back the next day. Or the day after. Or the day after that. Baz is left pining and dealing with a local seal that suddenly won't leave him alone. Now, exactly seven years later, Simon reappears and the two reconnect. And Baz learns that he's not the only one keeping secrets when Simon's sealskin goes missing.

My 3rd and final (and very close to the wire) podfic for the Caught On Tape Carry On Podfest! This is The Selkie and his Boy by hushed_chorus! This one's once more for Teen and Up Audiences, with each chapter around 20 mins long! Highly recommend if you want a beautifully sweet and heart-wrenchingly romantic beachside story!

My first time reading this fic was looking through the podfest catalog, and I just absolutely fell in love. I knew I had to do this one. The writing is just so good, and hushed_chorus does amazing things with their beachside setting, charming characters, and heartfelt storyline! All the sfx, including the various beach and cafe and underwater ambiances, were laborious but very much worth it!

Half proud of the cover! I was hoping to do something with both the boys in there, but in the end the seal underneath the starscape was much more within my abilities! I loved the little thing Simon has with stars, even though it's not very present in the story, so I tried to write the title in a constellation-style font! Not sure how well that turned out though!

Anyways okay okay that means I am officially done with the Caught On Tape Carry On Podfest! But despite that, I will never forget it. This podfest was the first time I've EVER posted Carry On related content, despite being in the fandom for over 2 years. I'm not big on writing (despite my best efforts) and I'm only kind of an artist, so I never felt I had anything to post. This podfest proved me wrong! It introduced me to the wonderful world of podficcing, which although I can't say for sure, I predict will be a frequent hobby of mine moving forward! Interacting with fellow Carry On fans in this fest, supporting them and (to my shock) being supported by them, has been a dream come true, and something lurker me would have fainted at! (I still need a second to recover from shock every single time I get an Ao3 notif) Anyways oops this has gone on WAY too long (I’m getting too sentimental since this is my last podfic 😭) basically the point is THANK YOU SO MUCH MODS DRE, KATI, AND JESS! This was such a wonderful ride and you guys are literally the most amazing people ever! Now without further ado please enjoy The Selkie and his Boy by hushed_chorus!

Thank you @caught-on-tape-fest for hosting. The world of podfics was entirely new to me, but this fest has been so welcoming to newcomers. Everyone in the Podfic! thread in the Carry On Discord has been very helpful and supportive. I had a lot of fun and I'll probably make more of these. Thank you to the mods and the listeners. Bye, bye!

Fest day 14 is bringing it home with another awesome entry!

[PODFIC] Is This the Real Life?

It was a joy to do a collaboration with @petrodobreva. What a great opportunity! This is an amazing story by @captain-aralias and perfect for reading aloud.

Thanks to the mods for making this fest!

New podfic for our last official posting day! So happy to have so many works in this series be part of the fest (and hopeful there will one day be more 👀).

[Podfic] Bestie Status Achieved

The last in of the Stoner AU podfics I have recorded for the @caught-on-tape-fest !! Coming in under the wire with this one, and listen, I have a heck of an excuse, because I'm buying a house in 2 days. Am I procrastinating packing? I don't know why you'd think that.

Thanks forever to @mostlymaudlin for coming up with this delightful universe and being a cool human who is open to people podficcing their work. Huzzah!

(Is the next order of business seeing if @starwarned would be down for me podficcing the other parts of this series? Not no!)

[caught-on-tape-fest]

Kicking off the last official day of the fest with this podfic! (We are thrilled to have you in under the wire, over the wire, in any relation to the wire.)

[Podfic] Threads of Fate

Sliding in just under the deadline as you do, you know just typical fandom fest things. (She says as if she's participated in so many fests already)

We’ve all read of how soulmates can find each other; the red string of fate, the wrist timer, finally seeing colour, the shared song…but what about the first person to find their soulmate? The creator of that original soulmate spell? Simon Snow is having zero luck developing an 8th year spell. So he’s elated when he casts “Threads of Fate,” and something actually happens. But when the spell creates a thread that leads him right to his nemesis, he’s not so sure what he’s created is actually a good thing. When trying again results in everyone in the World of Mage having a string that ties them to someone else, he wonders: did his spell tie him and Baz together because they are fated to fight to the death? Or could there be another reason?

[caught-on-tape-fest]

Another new podfic for the fest! So happy to have so much delicious content today. Happy listening everyone!🌹🎂

[Podfic] Flowers, Cake, and Filthy DMs

(Oh my, what's this? A podfic? Just making it in under the deadline? Must be Jo's.)

Baz’s excitement over his favourite Instagram florist coming to his restaurant to create a holiday window display is over shadowed by that fact that he stupidly sent him a very dirty DM the night before. Disaster panic ensues.

Rated T // about 11 minutes

Not just my first podfic, but also my first time posting on AO3. (I'm not nervous. Who's nervous? Not me.) Take a listen!

Gratitude gushing under the cut!

Thanks so much to @you-remind-me-of-the-babe for opening this lovely little story up for podficcing! Thanks also to @cutestkilla for being relentlessly supportive during this whole, ah, let's say process.

And of course, the modding side of things - so much gratitude for organizing this podfic fest! The explosion of podfics that I've seen from this fest is just... well, it's awesome. I've been binging fanfic since posting started for this fest - something I would never be able to do, otherwise. Setting up this fest was inspired, and I also greatly appreciate the work and dedication that went into making it all come together.

Podfics are such an amazing contribution to the fandom, and I'm really glad I was able to participate at least a little. I hope everyone (including myself) continues to create podfics - not just for those who need the assistance reading, but for everyone who enjoys the listening experience!

This is the 2nd fic I did for @caught-on-tape-fest.

I really enjoyed recording the fic and also drawing the cover art 💕

Another new podfic for the fest! 🦉🦉🦉

[Podfic] Who Cooks For You?

I finally uploaded the podfics for @caught-on-tape-fest ! This is the first one I did. I had fun recording it and laughed a lot.

Thank you to the people organizing @caught-on-tape-fest and also hello to all of the people recording and listening to the fics.

[caught-on-tape-fest]

New podfic alert!

(And you're welcome, you are so cultured it's a joy to have you in our petri dish🧫😂.)

[podfic] Sleeper Agents

The third installment in my love letter to Stoner AU. This is the place this all began, friends. The fic that I knew I had to record, and I couldn't leave well enough alone and record the fifth entry to a series, so I signed up to do cough more than one. Enjoy, and thanks to @caught-on-tape-fest and @mostlymaudlin for creating the petri dish within which my years-long desire to do audiorecordings of fiction could bloom.

[caught-on-tape-fest]

New audio love letter just dropped! ❤️

[Podfic] "Bro. You can just sleep with me."

Podfic #2 for the Caught On Tape Carry On Podfest! This is The Sound of Silence by aralias! This one's also for Teen and Up Audiences, with Ch1 around 28 mins and Ch2 around 21 mins! This fic is another one of my old favorites, and it was so much fun editing it all up!

Once again I need to seriously thank the mods for this fest! They've all been SO supportive and kind and made me feel so much closer to a fandom I've cherished so much for the past two years but was always too scared to be more than a lurker in! I was so worried about learning to make podfics and exposing my voice to internet strangers, and yet the reception I got for my first podfic was completely mind-blowing and heart-melting, and I'm so grateful to all the amazing people in this fandom! This would not have been possible without all of them, but the mods super duper especially!!

I've got one last fic on the way that I'm gonna have to really go crunch time on, but for now enjoy listening to The Sound of Silence by aralias!
