laporcupina:

As a fanfic author, I am not historically someone who gets a lot of… multimedia appreciation, shall we say. Some authors get lots of fanart, some get covers for their stories, some get podfics, some get other kinds of craftiness, but I am generally not one of those some. (This is not a complaint or a veiled plea for such, simply a fact based on almost twenty years of fandom.) Which does not mean I have never gotten anything – I have and when I have, it has been wonderfully executed and very humbling. Case in point:

The Physics of Survival series podfics by ArwenLune

Object in Motion

Impetus

The Lorentz Factor

The series can be summarized as “An Atlantis Marine as a Runner and those he left behind.” It’s not a light topic – torture, imprisonment, grief – and features seven narrators over three stories and five of them are OCs and that is both why I am not more mainstream as a fanficcer and why I was surprised when ArwenLune asked. 

I could not have asked for a better performance if I’d commissioned it. The readings are wonderful, in part because of the amazing preparation that went into it – I got emails about name and acronym pronunciation, etc. I know Arwen Lune wished for a better reception for them – as I did for her sake – but… This is, to my knowledge, the only time I’ve ever been podficced and I consider the bar set high enough to be seen from space.
