I miss you guys.
So, let's figure out how I should engage with you in the next little bit!
In other news, I bought a new headset with microphone.
So, yeah, now I have a microphone...and I'm sitting around thinking "What shall I do with a microphone?" And it occurred to me that I could do my own podfics...only, what if my voice sucks. Also, is it arrogant to do your own podfics? And then there's the problem that someone already asked if they could podfic the demented'verse, and I told them they could...they haven't yet, but that doesn't mean that they won't EVER (even though I haven't heard about it in over a year...) So, I don't want to like, OFFEND them by doing it myself.
And then there's the problem that maybe I'll suck at podficcing...I mean, besides not knowing the first thing about creating audio files like that, there's also the possibility that my reading voice sucks. And most of my fic involves American and British accents and I'm CANADIAN...and I cannot do accents. Is it weird to have characters sound Canadian when they should be American or British? I mean, I guess it's no different then me being a girl and most characters being men...but still. What I'm saying is that I cannot do voices...except occasionally when I slip into a Marlene Dietrich impression that is probably horrible.
And really don't I have enough to do?
So, let's figure out how I should engage with you in the next little bit!
What should my fanfiction priorities be?
Short Demented'verse S7 timestamp that is half-done on your harddrive. We don't care if it sucks.

To podfic or not to podfic...

Do a test run or something. I'll be completely honest if the sound of your voice makes me want to stab someone

Leave the podficcing to the podficcers, my friend. If it was meant to be, they'll get around to it.

Hypothetically, if I were to write a Merlin fic, what would you like to see?
A)A continuation/addition to the Unfortunate-Brother'verse?
B)A Merlin stand-alone fic?
C)A CRAZY Merlin/Supernatural crossover?
D)A fic based on a prompt that you'd give me?
Stand alone Merlin fic, eh? Interesting... I'd have to come up with an idea first, but I'll keep it in mind. Do you prefer gen or slash or slashy-gen? (I make no promises either way, I'm just wondering.)
Oh man, this is part of the reason I stay out of the A:TLA fandom. The shipping wars are ridiculous.
It's different with Sherlock, because Sherlock can go with either Supernatural or Harry Potter, so therefore it can go with demented'verse. But Merlin can't go with Harry Potter, in my opinion, so that means that Merlin can't go with demented'verse.
Haha, I don't think I can do a SuperMerlock...that's asking a bit too much. I could probably do a SuperMerlin or more Merlock, but not the two together. So, you'd have to choose which you'd prefer just like phamalama.
And why not give podficcing a go? Let's be honest here, I am not going to be able to tell between a Canadian and an American accent. :P And people generally are terrible at British accents (because there isn't a "British" accent) so no one would mind. Why not start with a timestamp or short story?
And yes, you should do a Sherlock rewatch. :D
When I think of "British" accent, I think of Stephen Fry reading the Harry Potter books. I know that I do not sound like Stephen Fry. :P
But yeah, maybe I'll do a short recording at some point in the summer and see how it sounds. The main problem might be not what you guys think, but the fact that I won't be able to stand the sound of my own voice.
I'll definitely be doing a Sherlock rewatch ;) But that might be yet another thing you'll have to wait until you get back to read, since I'm not sure WHEN I should do it.
Haha I don't think anyone sounds like Stephen Fry. Apart from Stephen Fry of course. :P
Oh God, I didn't think of that! Every now and again I think it'd be fun to podfic something, and then I remember the time that I had to record some interviews for a module of my degree and OH MY that is not anything I want to listen back to any time soon. :/
And it's not even like "really funny joke" laughing, I use it to punctuate my sentences! 70% of the time when I'm laughing, I don't even KNOW that I'm laughing. It's horrible.
My laugh is like a machine gun.
You'll enjoy S4 (I hope) :) I'm eagerly awaiting S5, but I have no idea when it's scheduled to start airing.
That said, write whatever you want to. I'll read it all. :D
I know! I'm shocked! :O
And thanks! We'll see what I get done. I am actually interested in maybe writing some Merlin, just because I never have before - besides my Merlin/Sherlock fusion thingy.
At this rate, I'm going to need a Merlin icon. :P
I'd also love to hear someone's experiences doing podfic. I read aloud to kids at work, and I do voices, but (shhh!) I'm kind of afraid to do podfic. Mostly because I think the kids like it because they like me, and it won't translate without faces and mannerisms. Also, no microphone.
So, if someone else did it first and shared... :)
Good for you if you can do voices though! That's awesome...even if it's just "reading to kids" level of awesome, it's still awesome.
We'll see. I guess I have to choose a story to test out my skills on...hmmm....
Also, I have to figure out how the hell to share audiofiles. I wish megaupload was still around. I guess I'll have to join mediafire or something like that.
And... Hello!!
It's funny because I was just thinking about that essay the other day, because I realized that Dean was molested by a vampire in 1x20, and I forgot to include that...ah well. I'm glad you liked it! I don't often write proper meta (in my opinion, my episode reactions do not count, because I am often drunk while writing them.)
But, as for the poll...it seems the majority agree with you, so it looks like getting that short demented'verse story into posting shape shall be my first priority. ;)
And yay, more demented! I would totally do a fist-pump if I were a fist-pumper.
