First podfic_bingo podfic of the year! Downloading and looking forward to listening!

This was a delight from start to finish. Seriously, I listened while I was walking to the light rail on my way to work, in the dark, exhausted, and this podfic had me smiling and putting a spring in my step. Wonderful pacing, and the dialog just sparkled in your hands. Beautifully done. Thank you!

I've no idea who these people are and know nothing about hockey, but I really enjoyed this. Very sweet story and you did an amazing job with it.

I really like your voice, it's very easy to listen to, and I'm inspired to try improving how I deal with music as I was impressed with how you included it. Fabulous.

I loved this! I'm only tangentially into hockey, not really in a fannish way, and a Calgary fan to boot, but I'm SO GLAD I listened to this podfic. Your voice is the perfect mix of soothingly gentle and emotional. You bring out the confusion and the awkward sweetness of this story really well.

(Also "First Day of My Life" is one of my favourite songs by one of my favourite bands so that was a special added bonus for me).

Excellent and enjoyable from start to finish!

Oh my goodness, thank you???? And thank you so much for the rec over at podfic love, too! I think your comments there (and here) are some of the nicest things I've ever seen written about my recordings, I'm a bit lost for words. Thank you SO much <3

(I am secretly pleased that I managed to record something seasonally appropriate, for once, so I'm glad you appreciated that, too!)

You've no idea how happy it makes me to hear that this has outside-fandom appeal!! Thank you so much! :DDD

I think the first seven or eight pods I made had no music at all, but I got the courage to try it after listening to other podficcers, so I'm really glad to be passing that on.

(Apparently, getting compliments about my voice from other readers makes me blush, huh!)

[frecklebombfic]

Oh wow, thank you, I'm not sure what to do with all your compliments... Confusion and awkward sweetness was EXACTLY where I was aiming with this reading, so I am VERY PLEASED to read your comment. Thank you for taking a chance on an Oilers fic, even though it's not really your thing!!

(First Day Of My Life is also one of my favourite songs by one of my favourite artists!! I've been dying to use it for a pod, so I jumped at the chance here :DD)

So I have no knowledge on the hockey fandom, but I keep seeing it crop up. So I thought this would be a good opportunity, and while I still know nothing I enjoyed listening to this. Your voice has a soothing quality that made the introduction to these characters very easy to listen to; the pacing was very well done too!
The music just added perfectly to everything.

[frecklebombfic]

Aaaah, thank you so much! It makes me so happy that this pod seems to have outside-fandom appeal, and that people from all over are enjoying it :D
Thank you for your lovely comment ♥
