Reccer Notes: this was created as part of pod_together, and it really shows :D The text has clearly been written to be read aloud, and even within the text the audio is integrated (bits of streaming audio! "the hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiills are aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive/with filthy luuuuuucreee"). At the same time, the podfic keeps some of the text-specific elements (footnotes! here set off with a small "bing!", which is quite nice), and the whole thing just come together really well and both somnolentblue and fleurrochard should be very proud of their work. On the podfic-specific side of things, fleurrochard's narration is pitch-perfect and her voices are clear and gloriously specific (I particularly like Crowley's sibilance). I could (and have!) cheerfully listen to this on repeat for hours :DDD

#girlavenger, or How Natasha Trended on Twitter and Saved the World: reena_jenkins and sisi_rambles

Fandom: Avengers
Characters/Pairing: Natasha Romanov/Maria Hill, Darcy Lewis/Steve Rogers
Rating: not rated (text is rated teen and up)
Content Notes: none
Length: 44:58
Performer Links: reena_jenkins and sisi_rambles
Author: emmypenny
Cover Artist: reena_jenkins
Summary: "Natasha becomes an internet phenomenon. It's nothing that she was ever trained for."



Reccer Notes: this podfic makes me so incredibly happy - just so, so happy. Reena_jenkins' narration is, as always, perfect: Natasha's snark is biting, Maria's done-with-everything-ness drips just that, Darcy is simply adorable. Sisi_rambles reads the tweets with, as applicable, meanness, sarcasm, and pride, and they slot right in with the rest of the narration. Having a different voice for the tweets was a good choice - it reinforces the difference between the real world narration and the social media, and as the point of the social media is to bring other people together, it's a really nice juxtaposition. Also A++++ music choice :DDD
