So, a while back, (months ago) paraka donated to Scarleteen in exchange for a podfic by me. She has been ever so patient since then. When I asked her what fic she would like to be podficced, she gave me a list, ostensibly so that I wouldn't be forced into podficcing something I wasn't comfortable with or a fic that I didn't like. At the time, I thought oh, how sweet of her!!! But now I know the truth!!! Sneaky paraka is sneaky, dangling all these sparkly, fabulous fics, many of which have authors who have given blanket permission to record!!! She knew I wouldn't be able to resist doing more than one. So… yeah… ummm….. paraka, you are getting two for the price of one :) *hugs*

The first is call me home by moirariordan. It's the most delicious collar!kink fic EVER and Kris is so delightfully open with himself about his own desires. moirariordan somehow manages to write a fic that is simultaneously smoking hot and full of ALL THE FEELINGS, and yet has very little actual…um… sex. In the words of teas_me, "I never knew that collar!kink could be so sweet!" What can I say, moirariordan is amazing, and now that I've been introduced to her, I'm going to find myself coming back again and again.

The second is you're dumbstruck baby (by my lovin') by jeyhawk, whose fics I just can't stay away from. It features a very different Kris from the first. One who is sexually inexperienced to the extreme, and delightfully shy, with an Adam who is ever so patient. It also hits one of my biggest kinks ever, mutual masturbation. It's sweet and hot and fun and full of those misunderstandings that are so easily resolved for a brilliant happy ending.

Thanks to both authors for their BP statements and for the fabulous stories. Thanks to teas_me and takola, for, as always being my trusty betas. And a special shout-out to reena_jenkins, who answered my wailing cry on Twitter for someone to please just make cover art for me PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE, and giving me the prettiness you see below.

To paraka, I really hope you enjoy these, BB!!! It was so fun to make them!!!

So… paraka opened a can of worms introducing me to American Idol. I blame her entirely for this, and… um.. my podfic big bang… and every other AI podfic I create. This particular Kris/Adam fic just filled me with such happiness. jeyhawk writes the wonderful, fun, sweet fics that never fail to make me smile. This particular one just filled me with glee. Kris is charmingly innocent and yet remarkably sure of his mind, and Adam is…. Adam.

Thanks so much to jeyhawk for blanket permission to record. You write such awesome, fun fics, and I adore every one of them. Thanks as well to takola and teas_me (as always) for the beta jobs.

OMG. The last podfic post of 2011! And, in so many ways, it's just so suited to the end of the year. For one thing, it's American Idol (a brand new fandom for me), which might not seem suited to you, but what you may not know is that AI is paraka's main fandom, and she was the beta for my very first podfic. She gave me the confidence to post and was so awesome when I was teetering on shaky legs. So I feel a little like I've come full circle. Additionally, it's a bit representative of the journey I've taken from HP only to new and different fandoms.

The fic, itself, is AMAZE. I'm a foodie. Like...an insane foodie, who pretty much lives and dies in her kitchen with her apron on (I have four aprons, depending on my mood). This fic... GOD! The food descriptions here are just to-die-for. The appearance, the scents, the tastes...they are just all here. The glory of the kitchen is represented in all its beauty. samanthahirr words just fill my mind and inspire me to go cook. It is everything I love in a fic. The rating is PG-13 and the build-up of the relationship is so perfectly slow. From acquaintances, to friends, to...something more. The friendship here just shines so beautifully.

Huge thank you to samanthahirr for writing such an awesomely awesome fic, and then for giving Blanket Permission to record. You are so awesome!!! Also, big thanks to katekat1010. You see that absolutely stunning cover art down there? That is courtesy of katekat1010, who created the original art for the story, then graciously allowed me to use it and additionally changed the center square for me to be more podfic-oriented. It's so beautiful and I love it so much!!

And enormous thanks to paraka, ladydeth12, and takola. For this fic, you held my hand and helped me through my crisis of confidence, and over 2011, each of you has listened and guided and pushed and praised me at all the right moments. I most certainly would not be podficcing if not for the three of you. ♥

Happy New Years, Everybody!!!!!!
