ash48My god there are some talented people around. I adore looking at artworks. Here's some that I've seen recently that I love:
Dean, can you see something? by the incredible![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
petite_madam. I love everything she does. This is adorable and yet... there's this little hint of menace. (make sure to enlarge it to read the text *g*) Wonderful.
The Winchester Brothers bybecc_j. Wow! Look at those boys! How much do they suit a Western? Love the detail in this painting. Striking.
BB art for The Hollow Valley Seriously creepy, intense and evocative. Love it.
I'm listening toveronamay's priest!fic have you seen him whom my soul loves (finally! I've had it bookmarked forever) and I'm loving it. I worried at first because I wasn't sure how I would go listening to a New Zealand accent but the reader, nu_breed, reads so well I've been swept up in it. She has such a lovely comforting manner (you can almost see her smiling as she reads it) that the accent doesn't matter.
I have, unfortunately, not been able to listen to some podfics because of either a very strong accent (Sam and Dean with cockney type accents just hasn't been able to work for me) or a speech pattern that's, um... annoying. I absolutely hate to criticise podfic readers because what they do is wonderful and amazing. But I suppose not everybody's voice will suit every listener.
I've discovered that I love being read to. I wonder if this is because I was read to a lot as a child? There's something innately comforting about it.
We're seeing Inception tonight! \o/ (Everybody has raved about it so I'm a little worried I'm going in with very high expectations... and then will be disappointed. But I'm sure it will as awesome as everyone is claiming).
Hope you are all having a great weekend. :)

Date: 2010-08-09 08:35 am (UTC):) Never apologise for that. I love hearing other peoples thoughts..:)
the other thing is that podfic has very little feedback at all bc of the delay.
Yeah, I can see that that could be a problem and I assume that podficcers do it for the love of it and not for comments they receive. I mean, all the fandom stuff we do is for the love of it, but the comments are often a nice reward. Especially when there's been a lot of work put into it. And I imagine podficcing takes a lot of time. But I think podficcers miss out on that sometimes. I know I have been guilty of that for shorter fics.
Which reminds me... time to go and leave a comment to a podficcer now. :)
ETA: I'm going to dl some of your readings. (yes, I just stalked you at audiofic. I notice you have some Sam/Dean and J2.. which I gravitate to mostly... *g*).
ETA#2 And now I've just connected with who you are....:) I've seen you mention podfics you've been doing and I've been meaning to check you out. I look forward to listening.. :)
