it's day 2 bitches!

Day 2 of Pod_Aware Week! It's like SHARK WEEK on animal planet but with less thrashing and blood.

I thought about a serious rec post today but alas I was sidetracked. Yesterday I listened to pennyplainknits give
a very inspirational podcast about podficcing. She said she usually picks stories to record based on what she loves
and wants to keep and listen to....and she mostly listens to her own podfic. Now this should maybe not have been
such and "AH HA" moment for me but it was. And I thought about my list and all of my favorite stories that I print
out obsessively like the crazy OCD person that I am and wondered hmmmm , what if I recorded them? even just
for myself to listen to, it certainly saves on printer ink *G*

So I downloaded Audacity (free software), grabbed my son's gaming mic, and recorded a fic today. No shit. I thought
I would cringe at the sound of my voice like I sometimes do on the answering machine but I barely even recognized 
it as me.  And it was fun....and I even edited it alittle....and made cover art...and transferred it to an mp3...syncd it to my 
pod.

You guys!!!! I am like a fandom butterfly this week.  DO YOU SEE THESE FUCKING WINGS FLAPPING???
First a fanmix and now this....when will this madness stop??
Working like the backwards reject I often am, I contacted the author and got her permission to podfic the story and 
may actually rerecord it and send it out into the universe...cause I don't think it was half bad. I give the credit to my
kids ridiculously expensive Turtle mic set, which apparently does all the work for you :) Must be the same one
Britney Spears uses. I did not! I did! Britney's my little sex kitten *purrrrrr* but I don't love her for her singing.

By the way: Today's theme is blanket permission. It's quite the opposite of doing it for your own pleasure and 
asking after the fact  *suitably embarrassed*. Hit up pod_aware for more info!
