jadesfire: Bright yellow flower (Fluffy duck)
To say I'm tired right now does not even begin to cover the feeling of having done a day's work, gone out, come back, made 3 batches of cupcakes, made dinner, done washing, made jewellery and then having 3 hours sleep. Then coming to work, doing a full day, icing cupcakes and dealing with dim people. And annoying printers.

*rereads*

I have no idea if that sentence is grammatical or not, but frankly, I'm too tired to even care. Y'all know what I mean. Right?

HOWEVER. There is one Very Important Thing I must do before I doze off at the enquiry desk (I already fell asleep on my can of diet coke over lunch and got the impression of the rim all down my nose. It's not a good look.)

Er. Hang on. Oh yes. Point.

The point is that I have been Podficced! It is very, very exciting, especially since the reading really, really matches the sound of the story in my head. I love podfic and consumed hours and hours of it last year, then I ran out of Gen, or fandom, or something, and I haven't listened to any for ages. So hearing these was a real joy, especially since [livejournal.com profile] reena_jenkins has absolutely caught the tone. It's always a bit nerve-wracking, giving blanket permission for your stories to be played with, since a)You risk NO ONE looking at them at all, which is sad and b)Oh gosh, what if they don't sound right.

Luckily Port Call has really long author's notes, and although we have different accents, it was like listening to the voice in my head read them aloud, so I knew it was going to be okay. Also, for me, there's something *right* about SGA stories being read in an American accent, which is why I never wanted

So having rambled at you in a sort of sleepily excited kind of way, I shall let you go and shower praise on her for doing an awesome job :)

Both are over at [livejournal.com profile] amplificathon

Port Call and Pilferage, Pirates, and Plotting (2 stories, 1 entry)

Five mission reports Sheppard's team turned in (and one they didn't)

PLEASE if you listen, go tell Reena how awesome she is. Writers are usually the ones who get the love in these arrangements, but a good reader absolutely makes or breaks a story, and Reena is an awesome reader.

Who knows. I may even be inspired to write more.

Once I've had some sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*snore*
