Tandem podfic -- how cool is that?

I'm chagrined that it took me this long to link to this here, given how totally cool I found it, but I feel sure it's 100% as awesome as when I initially downloaded it!


Title: The Convocation
Readers: indy_go and wintercreek

This just made my day when they surprised me with it, and I think it's probably one of my favorite podfics. As you all know, I get huge geek glee out of the collaborative creativity in fandom, so the trajectory of this story delights me and of itself -- halcyon_shift orchestrated the Sweet Charity auction, amberlynne bought me and gave me all the ingredients in her prompt, I wrote it, wintercreek tossed indy_go the idea of doing a tandem recording, they commit the text to voice and take on different aspects of the mixing, wintercreek posts it, general_jinjur adds it to the Audiofic Archive ... seriously, just how cool is that? And then I absolutely love the effect that wintercreek and indy_go get by juxtaposing their readings, the way that it really literalizes the two distinct narratives of past and present and heightens the contradiction between the different truths they suggest. (Also, they picked a song I never would've thought of that just nails the fic dead on.)

Go listen, it's a thing of joy.
