[podfic] Winner Take Bindle Ball, by pandamug

hello! it's out of the auditary time! Please enjoy this niche-fandom (hobo names!) podfic with silly voices by me! Out of the Auditary is a fest for fics in non-standard formats, including meta, epistolary, articles, and so on. This one is written in script format (I really admire the skill pandamug has with a non-traditional format, AND character voice - I've already read one of their previous works).

I actually recorded this for OOTA last year, and then listened, hated the choices I made for the character voices, and shelved it. This is a completely new recording, which means you also get to enjoy my new microphone, which is much kinder to the flaws in my voice.

In adding the sound effects, I made the delightful discovery that there was a fashion, during the 1920s and 1930s, for hobo singers and performers. I included brief excerpts of only a couple of the songs I found in a search through the Internet Archive, but it was a tough decision!

There are 22 other works in this year's OOTA collection (linked from mine), in about as many fandoms - I highly recommend checking them out!

I've been working behind the scenes, off and on, on my longfic Lies Agreed Upon, but I hadn't updated it since 2018 and had stalled out majorly because I couldn't accept that I wasn't going to finish it in 13 more chapters... and that... it's really only half over...

So the last couple months I've been restructuring the pacing of the back half, but to actually start writing again, I knew I needed to reread all 200k of what's already published.

The point is, on Thanksgiving, a person started leaving adorable and detailed comments for me, and that hadn't happened in a long time, and because their comments were so specific, I needed to reread the chapters to get what they were enjoying. So I was able to do the reread I'd been putting off, and I updated within the week because sincere, consistent interaction is the only thing that fanfic writers get in return.

Writing is really hard, and putting a fic on hiatus to make sure you land the ending is a double-edged sword because the interaction slows to a trickle, and then it stops, and suddenly you don't have the incentive to keep writing the things you were already struggling to write.

And the thing about not reading WIPs... I get it, but if a fic is long and has a lot of interaction, usually the reason is that it's pretty great and you're missing out on it.

I know the posts telling people to comment on fics are annoying and it sounds like we're whining, but comments really do make the difference in keeping a writer motivated and engaged with their own works. And if a fanfic hasn't updated in years... maybe give it a chance and tell the author you liked it. You might not get a response, you might get a "thank you!! ;_;" and you might get.... more chapters.

btw new chapter of Lies incoming in a couple hours. I gotta write some more intense PTSD recovery.

I feel like this is an unpopular opinion, but more people should read incomplete/unfinished/in-progress fanfics.

I’ve noticed this huge trend where creators on tiktok and tumblr who will be explaining how to use Archive Of Our Own to new users and they always say “and make sure to scroll down and click completed only” or how people will go out of their way to mention they only read completed fics ‘because they were traumatized when they forgot to check the dates and didn’t realize this fic hadn’t been updated since 2012’.

The thing is - I think by not engaging with and/or actively avoiding writer’s WIPs readers are potentially adding to the aggregate of abandoned works. Now this obviously isn’t the case for all abandoned fics, anything from major life events, to loss of interest, to getting busy can be a reason for a fic getting abandoned - but at least on some level I just know that writers are quitting while they’re ahead when they aren’t garnering any response or feedback because reading WIPs has become unpopular. If you’re worried about reading something that hasn’t been updated since 2012 then you can use the date updated function to sort out old fics.

Anyways, support your favorite fanfic writers by engaging with their WIPs.

[farm-witches-fic-recs]

Hello Dearest Witches!

I am so happy that you are still with us, even if you have cut back a bit. You guys are my go to in this fandom! I was wondering what the name/link is to the first fic written in the SC fandom? I can scroll back on AO3 but I wonder if fics were posted under a different tag than I use.

Thanks and thanks for being here!

Hello you!

The first fic in the fandom was Morning Glory, an E-rated Johnny/Moira fic (full props to you, anonymous fanfic writer) which was written in September 2017.

The first David and Patrick fic was The Changeup by pandamug, which wouldn't be written until December 2017.

The rest, as they say, is history.

[22degreehalo]

aaaaand FINALLY I've finished writing up my next few recs for the Summer @ficreadingchallenge :'DDD Most of these I read weeks ago when I was especially tired and just wanted to lie down and listen to some podfics, as you'll see below~ But I'm still going! I got sooo close to finishing a line this time (and I WOULD HAVE if I hadn't swapped around the squares for some of these hahaha) and if possible I want to complete a full blackout! n.n

A couple of prompt-related rambles: 'Enemies to Friends / Lovers' is highlighted buuut I actually later decided to use that fic for 'Future AU' so. Oh well :') I also swapped a fic from Domestic to Gift Giving even though gifts aren't the main focus because I was having trouble with that square and the gifts ARE still a pretty big part of the fic so??? who cares hahaha. Also somehow I've gotten this far using a different pairing for every single square and I was absolutely tempted to try to continue that, and am knocking myself out of it because I just want to encourage myself to read fic, not force myself into a pretzel trying to track down rarepair fics that SHOULD exist SOMEWHERE......

New recs below!! :D

Canon Compliant

after knowing all, I wonder, can you really say innocent? By Aialize (15.5k, ongoing, Milgram gen)

This is a super fascinating fic and a great example of one of my favourite genres: crack treated seriously! In this one, the music videos exist in-universe and the prisoners (plus Es) will watch them all, reacting and responding in-character. I love how committed the author is to this premise: some of the characters would rather forget all this stuff is even happening, while others (most notably Kotoko) fully intend to learn all they can about the other prisoners from them. It’s still early days, but I can’t wait to see how they all react differently, and what (correct or incorrect!) conclusions they come to! (Also, maybe it seems strange to use an AU fic for the tag ‘Canon Compliant’, but the fic is sticking to the canonically-chosen verdicts which is why it counts!)

Fic With No Comments Yet

messin’ up my mind by Skyrose – a podfic by CailynWrites (5k, 33:47, Percy/Oliver)

Choosing podfics for the ‘No Comments Yet’ category almost feels like cheating heh, but these very important fan works deserve just as much love!!! This is an adorable fic: stories where the characters’ friends/family ‘ship them’ can be corny and OOC, but I love that Fred and George initially just want to give Oliver something to care about other than Quidditch training, and have no clue the cogs they started working in Oliver’s head until they’re ready for that last push. And I love Oliver and Percy’s relationship: not quite close, comfortable friends, but more like very different people who’ve spent a lot of time together and never quite taken the plunge in becoming fixtures of one another’s life – yet. <3

Hurt/Comfort

The Care and Feeding of a Deeply Depressed Vampire [Podfic] by secretsofluftnarp, read by Pandamug (2.8k, 21:16, Nandor/Guillermo

Fics that perfectly capture the absurd black humour of this show are always a treat and this fic is no exception! One of the tags is ‘canon-typical sex talk’ and hoo BOY is that accurate haha, but beneath the characteristic horniness and always-at-least-mild insufferability, Nandor really is just a pathetic sad little vampire, and the degree of care Guillermo has for him – and how much Nandor trusts him in return – is so sweet!

BIPOC Character

[Podfic] The Benefits of Communication written by ushauz, voiced by GodOfLaundryBaskets (3.2k, 27:27, Wyll/Astarion)

I’m still dipping my toes into Wyll/Astarion fanfic, but this was a very nice introduction!! Despite focusing on Astarion’s trauma around sex, it also gets a bit into Wyll’s complicated relationship with it as well, in a way that totally makes sense for them! I can 100% see these two dumbasses having a miscommunication like this, doing something they both don’t like just because they think it’ll make the other happy :’D

Future AU

Recognition by SaraJaye (2k, N/Hilbert)

This is such a sweet fic, and I can totally imagine these two’s relationship going this way post-canon!! By the end of the game they’d both need some time before they’d really be ready to be in a relationship, and though short I totally love how the friendship builds enough here for them to do that! <3

Gift Giving

Tinsel by Lunar_Years (17.5k, Roy/Jamie/Keeley)

I absolutely love and 100% recommend this entire series of RJK fics – they capture the characters and their relationship absolutely perfectly, and the familial interactions ring so true! I particularly loved Roy’s complicated relationship to the holidays; feeling troubled by his own lack of enthusiasm towards what should be ‘his’ celebrations, and only realising in retrospect that he really had enjoyed his time taking part in it all with his partners. Despite being longer than all the other fics I’ve recced here so far, the time absolutely blazed by, because it all flowed so smoothly and once I started reading I didn’t want to stop! <3

Time Travel

Catalyst [podfic] by TheStarvingWriter, read by RavenGranger11 (2.5k, 19:53, Dean/Castiel)

This fic packs in so much for its length! It’s wonderfully atmospheric between the dingy motel room and young Dean’s insecurity and longing, and from the moment Cas steps in his fondness and familiarity for Dean shines right through <3

Time Loop

& home & home & home (or, a timeloop) by decemberista - a Podfic read by Beatificbean (3.1k/20:09, Remus/Sirius)

Ugh, this fic hits so hard. :( With its succinct writing we really get a sense of how hard Sirius tries, over and over, to save everyone. It’s almost like poetry – especially at the end, which really made me cry!! ;__;

Eskel whirled around to look at him. "Wait, you know her too?"

"I was about to tell you when you made a detour for this street, but then we heard Lambert, and..." He shrugged, unable to contain his amusement. "I believe we might know the same person in this town."
