"Hellmouth High" now has a podfic and other fandom things
To start: reena-jenkins has read a marvelous podfic of Hellmouth High Schools Don't Have Reunions, one of my Buffy/Doctor Who crossovers --- Link to podfic -- Link to podbook (with cover art!) -- I don't know much about podfic, but it held my notoriously short attention span even though I hate re-reading my own stuff after it's been published - mostly I'll only do it when starting a sequel or trying to add to a dormant WIP. I'm now fighting the urge to go back and completely re-edit the story to meet my current standards. (Why didn't I use a beta? What did I have against the word 'said'?) Rest assured: any faults with this project fall on my side. Thanks so much, reena, and if you still want to tackle Impossible Things, I'd be absolutely thrilled.
On that note: I'm about five days worth of postings behind on finishing my spn_j2_bigbang rec list.
One of the reasons I don't know much about podfics is because I'm kind of a speed-reader and podfics slow down the rate at which I consume words; to wit: at the very least I started and in most cases I read through every non-D/C story published this round (I'm not anti-D/C, per se, but my lack of enthusiasm for the pairing in general means that I'm really not qualified to judge D/C fic). I'd do the math on how many words that is (and that's not all I was reading this summer) but I'm certain the total would be highly embarrassing.
Anyway, the rec list will be fairly comprehensive and there's already twenty stories on it. I just need to catch up on the ones published in the last week while I was moving back to school and then I'll post the rec list. The reading's going a little slower now due to school things, me actually writing my own fic, and me trying to read through nominees at the Crossing Over Awards. I'd pimp myself over there but honestly, my stories are up against some serious competition and I have no expectations whatsoever. (The 'Best Non-BtVS/AtS Crossover' category is so incredibly strong this year, it's mind-boggling.)

I'm a little annoyed that most of the Wincest got posted in the second half of the fest when I was already behind. ::shakes fist::
{Did you read "Named" and "One Thing I Don't Believe In" in the D/C department? They're both excellent.}

Eureka!
Re: Eureka!
It probably also doesn't help that I don't process auditory information nearly as well as I do written words - I can have difficulty distinguishing between consonant sounds and sometimes need people to repeat or rephrase in order to parse what they're saying correctly (and sometimes will watch TV with captions on if I'm having a particularly thick kind of day) - and I can't ask a recording to do that.
