Wrong file
Hi, I think the audiobook link to Reciprocation is pointing to a .zip with the wrong audio file enclosed. After opening the archive I got a file for an Ironman fic named Shell Shock instead. Could someone check to see if this is the case? Thanks!
Great fic
I'm quite new to the world of podfic, and I have to say that this podfic is one that I think I've enjoyed listening to the most, and I keep coming back to it. I'd read the fic briefly before, but I really adore your reading voice- it's not too slow, like some of the others I've listened to. There are some lines in the story that when reading it, I would never have considered it read that way, and I really liked it. For example, when Arthur says
"yes you are, come here" at the beginning, it really made laugh out loud the way you dragged out the vowel. It made it sound really funny. Also, your Merlin and Arthur voices were really funny and really captured their banter perfectly, especially during the sex scene. You had me cracking up so much during that, especially when Arthur is shocked at to how awful Merlin tastes- you did that so well!
I think one of my favorite parts though, was at the very end when Arthur goes to visit Merlin and the whole "you're in love with me!" thing- very nicely read and you really felt like you were there. But the way you read this line: "There was nothing he could be delighted by in that look, which said plainly that yes, Merlin did love him, and was jealous and unhappy" actually had be close to tears. And then I actually did cry a little at the way you read this:
"You are—you are ridiculous, and disobedient, and you plague every day of my life, and—" Merlin was looking at him with something wide and shining in his eyes, even before Arthur finished, "— I like you anyway. And I would very much like to have you."
That 'I would very much like to have you" was so tender and lovely that it just melted my heart! And then the way you read
""Well, you know," he murmured, kissing along Arthur's jaw, "I was just thinking I'd really like to have my cock sucked."
"Count yourself lucky if you don't have your neck wrung,"
Had me cracking up again! Sooo funny! Seriously, you read this story perfectly at every single point, and it's definitely my favorite podfic ever. I hope I haven't bored you too much with this long review. All I can say now is pleeease to you reading more merthur stories. :)
Thank you so much
Wow, that was so sweet of you to write. Thank you! This is the sort of comment that makes hours spent staring at Audacity totally worth it. :)
