ash48 | Podfic Recs and a fic rec

Before I start with some podfic recs I HAVE to rec

ash_carpenter's Anti-Kink series of fics. I have honestly never laughed out loud so much as when I am reading these. They are absolutely hilarious and ridiculously hot (though hee! not all the time *g*). The link is to her memories where she has them all listed. It's a good idea to read them in order. Fabulous.

Ok. Podfics. What a brilliant invention. Better still, are the wonderful fans who read, record and post them. *hugs* podficcers. I can consume a lot more fic by listening rather than waiting for an opportunity to sit down and it helps motivate me to actually get on the treadmill. It's also a great way to cut off the world for a while.

I started off listening to podfics from recs, so some of these have been recced quite a bit in other places. So sorry to double up. Here we go:

On Midsummer Nights I Dream of Winchesters. by

deirdre_c. (Sam/Dean mostly PG13, becoming NC17) Read by

sadcypress This is brilliant. The writing is an absolute delight (how the hell is this woman so talented?!) and the reading is perfect. Supernatural meets Shakespeare. *G* This is a real treat.

When It's Done by

elizah_jane.(PG13 Sam/Dean) Read by

sadcypress (you really can't go wrong this gal! She's an excellent reader). This fic was such a lovely surprise. It's AU and yet.... I'll say no more because the end it what makes it such a satisfying read. Or listen. *g*

Beautiful Disaster by

thenyxie. Read by

chemm80 (NC17 J2) This is a long, involved story. It's as hot as hell and I couldn't stop listening to it. A 5 hour plane flight was perfect for sitting back and getting completely swept away by this story.

I've really grown fond of listening to

chemm80. She reads a lot of porn fics and has a great voice for it. I often search by readers I know when looking for new fic, because I know I will be comfortable with them. She's one I often turn to. And

juice187. I also adore

candelbeck's voice (and her writing).

Queensguard by

aramuin. (J2, R) Read by

pandarus (aka Fayjay). I wasn't going to listen to this because I was concerned about the huge list of readers involved. I thought it would be too disconnected with so many different voices. But it came highly recommended so I gave it a go. Thank god. It's a fantastic tale and it's mostly read by Fayjay. The other voices are used effectively for the non narrative (*eek* I'm not sure if that's the right word) parts of the text.

I've raved about

pandarus before. Her readings are excellent. She seems to be living in the moment she's reading. A bit the way an actor might take on a role. It's always very expressive. It's interesting to me that I am currently reading the follow up to Queensguard, Knight's Gambit with her voice in my head. :)

Other excellent fics read by Fayjay:

Restraint by

emeraldsedai (Darkemeralds). (J2, Mature) I've raved about this one before. So much LOVE for this story. It's long - like whoa! In fact it's WIP and hasn't been completed yet. More chapters have been posted but I am going to wait for the next podfic installment (even though that's killing me slightly).

Carrion Comfort written and read by

pandarus (wincest NC17) I haven't been that keen to listen to fic read by their authors (for some strange reason) but I thought I'd give this ago and WOW! The twist is fantastic and so plausible. If you're not into podfics I urge you to go and read this one instead.

And some Gen:

When Heroes Go Down They Go Down Fast (Gen, R) by

buffyaddict13 read by

emeraldsedai This is probably not for the faint hearted. It's fairly brutal but absolutely amazing. The author paints a vivid post apocalyptic landscape. The characters have depth and the story is engrossing. (Though to this day there is an imagine in there that haunts me and gives me shivers whenever I think about it).

Hiatus written by

debbiel66, read by

jenilees. (Gen, PG13) This is a story set in the Changing Channel universe. It's a place I would have loved the Show to have taken the boys - A Western. We didn't get it on the screen but

debbiel66 rectifies that by giving us a wonderful fic instead.

There are many, many others of course. If you are looking for other fandoms or other SPN recs check out

davincis_girl's Podfic Rec Post She's also posted some links for podfic comms and in the comments are lots of juicy, multi-fandom recs.

Enjoy! :D

*displays best puppy eyes possible* I would dearly love to be able to listen to

deirdre_c's BB fic By All Means, Rome if *koff* anyone's looking for something to podfic.
