Rec:

In a year where I didn't produce much in regards to podfic or fanfic, this particular title stands out as one of my favorites. When I first read this story, it absolutely broke my heart. I didn't consider recording it for many months and when I sat down in front of my microphone, my heart broke all over again. It takes a special combination of characterization and situation in a story for me to connect so thoroughly with a story, and Coffeesuperhero is one of those authors whose writing clicks perfectly for me.

As I was listening to this podfic in preparation for writing up a self-rec for the Snowflake Challenge, it had me in tears for an entirely different reason... I realized that I am Clint. My Grandma died in November and I've done everything I can to not think about it... If I just ignored it, waited long enough, kept living like nothing had changed, it wouldn't be true and she'd still be alive.

I know its not the best podfic in the world, and my voice can be irritating to some, but this story and the experience I had recording it has helped me accept that sometimes things don't get better and that that can be alright.

Title: [podfic] Good Name for a Horse by allfireburns
Reader: curiously_me

Fandom: Doctor Who / Valdemar series
Pairing: Gen
Rating: General

Rec:

This podfic is one of those stories that makes you wonder "yeah, but what if?" and was so much fun to record! It's really short, but it was fun to work in the sound effects for Arthur's "voice" and trying to get the bells to sound something-close-to hoof-beats. It was also a pleasure to work with Reena_Jenkins, who provided the beautiful cover art.

Pacific Rim | fanfic by Sly (Snowflake Challenge: Day One)

Title: Fruit Flavored Kisses
Author: curiously_me

Fandom: Pacific Rim
Pairing: Chuck Hansen/Raleigh Becket
Rating: Teen?

Author Summary:

Chuck researches (and practices) kissing with a fruit and tries the patience of his audience while doing so.

Rec:

Lol, I thought I'd posted this story a long time ago, but apparently not (a fact which I've remedied).

This story was written back in 2013 and is something that I've been fiddling with ever since... It is a cute little story that makes me laugh when I read it and I'm just really proud that I managed to write something halfway decent. I didn't know that you could "learn how to kiss" by using fruit, lol, but the online guide was enough inspiration to make me want to write a Chuck Hansen ficlet as soon as possible.
