Wheeeeeee!

[tabaqui]

I'm all excited all over again. Another podfic! I dunno why it's so flail-inducing, but it just *is*.

So - twasadark asked to make podfic of my Supernatural story The Song of the Treadmill, and of course i was flattered and said yes.

It's now available for download in several places, but i'll just give you all the one link.
:)

Treadmill Podfic.

Thank you, twasadark, so very much! It's lovely!

*twirls around*

ETA: And there is cover art! By cybel! You can see it here. :)

:D

[tabaqui]

Heeeee!

[katbcoll.livejournal.com]

*is downloading now*
*bounces for you*

[tabaqui]

Yay! I hope you enjoy!
:)

[cybel]

Be expecting another podbook soon as I have time to listen and work up a cover--unless there's already art for the story?

So looking forward to listening as I've not read the story yet (yes, I fail just that much!).

[tabaqui]

I don't *think* there's any art - she didn't say there was, so i'll say 'no', heh.
Thank you!
*dances*

[cybel]

My pleasure!

Squee!!!

*runs around and waves hands in the air for you*

[tabaqui]

Heeee!!
*smooch*

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, love. I did pronounce your name right, didn't I? *clasps hands in trepidation* haha

Anyhow, yay for the pimpage!!!

[tabaqui]

Yup yup.
*smooooch*

It's weird how cool it is. But it is! Cool!
:)

[fleshflutter.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Totally downloading! :)

[tabaqui]

Wheeeeee!

[trishabooms.livejournal.com]

Isn't that just fab!

I really must find a way to play these in the car.

[tabaqui]

I suppose if you have a sort of iPod type thing you could use some sort of adapter cable?
*has no clue*

Thank you!
:)

[trishabooms.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

I keep thinking I should treat myself to an iPod. I like the idea of having all my music just *there* you know? I ponder it too long though and talk myself out of buying one; would I really use it or would it just be a waste of money, that kind of thing.

I dunno. *sigh*

[thehighwaywoman.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! \o/ *zooms to download* I may have shamefully not FB'd that one, but damn. Verra awesome. *adores*

[tabaqui]

Heeee!
Thank you thank you!
:)

[saifai.livejournal.com]

*bouncebouncebounce* Nifty. *gloms*

[tabaqui]

Wheeee!
Thanks!

Got the podbook version posted to motelwincest and podslash. The cover art is here.

Hope you like it!

[tabaqui]

Awesome!
*bookmarks podslash*

And cover art!
*gazes*

Very, very cool. Thank you so much!
*smooch*

[cybel]

*grin* Glad you approve.

As I told twasadark, I wanted to do the story justice. It was wonderful!

I just listened to the podfic and was so overwhelmed by your story that I had to find you and tell you. I love multiverse stories and what they tell about how different environments shape a character (and how much remains from universe to universe as if inherent in a person), but you went far beyond that: the plot was new and exciting and the narrative beautifully paced and visually stunning. I wonder if it worked better because I listened to it, but I was really spellbound, happily folding laundry, because I could hear some more :)

I love the way both Sam and Dean are scarred but learn to depend on one another (esp Dean); I love the side characters, both the OCs and the slightly warped canon ones; I love the world and even more so how you reveal it--hinting with the first refusal of Ellen taking dollars and then being so tightly in Sam's pov of registering differences without exactly understanding what they mean (and not asking because he's both still too traumatized of being here and maybe doesn't want to know).

Anyway, thanks for an amazing story!!!

[tabaqui]

Wow, thank you!
:)

It's so odd to hear it read - i don't read anything of my own aloud, i don't know why, but i just don't. So listening to it was pretty amazing to me. I'm glad it 'works' as a pod - i was a little nervous that maybe it wouldn't, so your fb is really making my day!

So glad you enjoyed it!

And - doing a little self-pimp here... There's also podfic of my 'Wolfpack' series. Well, the first three stories, anyway.

That's wonderful! I'm so pleased for you. Maybe she'll do one of your Spander stories sometime? I would love that so much.

[tabaqui]

Thank you so much!

I don't know if she reads Spander or not, honestly. But i'm sure a fan of her podfics could ask...
:)

Last week I listened to "Song of the Treadmill" while I was working; what a great way to make a living. Thank you so much both for writing/posting and for allowing that excellent podcast.

[tabaqui]

Yay, thank you!
:) I'm so pleased you enjoyed it.

[dodificus.livejournal.com]

I just got through the podfic of this and having never actually read the fic before I guess it had even more impact on me listening to it like this. You have this huge gift for description, for painting a picture of the environment and the feeling of being *in* that environment that really makes a story come alive.

And then towards the end when a character mentioned that Sam had only been in that world for 7 days I had to do a double take because it felt like *I'd* been there forever. This was a really great reading of an excellently written story.

[tabaqui]

Thank you so very much! That is an incredible compliment.
:)

I'm so glad you enjoyed it and took the time to fb me.
Thanks again!

Ever fandom has a fic like 'Song of the Treadmill' - a classic, everyone has read it and recommended it - a Must Read.

Unfortunately, this story has been on my reading list forever and I never had time to sit down and enjoy it. Thursday I downloaded the podfic and Friday I finally got to listen to it at work.

'Song of the Treadmill' is everything I hoped it would be and nothing I expected. The writing is lyrical and poetic. The characterization is fascinating - slightly slanted, but honest versions of Bobby, Sam and Dean - original characters that hold up. A unique and well-executed premise.

I suppose I'm not the first person to fall in love with Sam-dog.

The story made me ache for the boys and soothed the hurt at the same time. Beautiful work.

[tabaqui]

Thank you so very much! I really do love world-building, and it was great fun to make the Treadmill world 'our' world, but not, too. And to make Dean and Bobby not *quite* 'our' Dean and Bobby, and find all the little bits of backstory that would inform the 'new' them.

I'm so pleased you enjoyed it! Thank you!
:)

*And i'm blushing over the idea that Treadmill is a 'classic' - heeee! That's just....neat. Heh.*

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

I listened to the podfic and really loved this story, especially the Dean characterization. Also, this contains what might well be the hottest Sam/Dean sex scene I've read yet, so, uh, thanks for that. :)

Do you have a master fic list somewhere? What's the easiest way for me to find all of your SPN stories?

[tabaqui]

Oooh, thank you! Pods are a new thing to me, and i find them amazingly flattering and also just amazing. So glad you liked it!

All my Supernatural fic is under the tag 'spn'. A few stories also have their own tags. Treadmill, of course, and then 'thou born' for Thou Born to Match the Gale, 'two roads', 'wolfpack' for all the wolfpack 'verse, 'aftermath' for that 'verse, 'apocabigbang' and 'dust' for Comes to Dust, 'remix' for fics I've written for remix challenges, as well as links to the originals and my own fic that were remixed..... Let's see...'sense' is a one shot, and then 'china sea' is my RPS/J2 Vietnam era fic. Oh! 'phoenix' is also a one-shot, 'gen landslide' is my 'Dean has a son?!' 'verse. :)

I think that's it! I'm pretty sure i do have *everything* under spn, but sometimes it's easier if they're also under a 'verse or fic name. I have some very early stuff in my memories that was posted in a comm and isn't on my lj at all.

Hope that wasn't too rambley! Enjoy! :) And thanks again!
