Ok, I'm writing stuff down whilst I think about it when I'm listening. Liveblogging a podcast, I guess? Haha.
I loved your discussion of cover art. I used to make a lot of graphics when I was first in fandom, so making cover art when I started podficcing felt really natural to me (not that I'm saying that my cover art is amazing or anything, but it's usually easy for me to throw something together that I think looks decent). I once did get a compliment on my cover art and it actually made my day (it was for this cover that I made with a photograph of my own, so that one is kind of special to me on a different level). I think I'm going to make an effort to comment on art as well as podfics going forward, you've inspired me :D
In the spirit of the self-reccing that's happening over at podfic_love right now, I wonder if anyone has any cover art that they're particularly proud of?
Re: singing, there are some brilliant podfics with fans singing in Glee fandom. One of them is the outtro to klb's All the Other Ghosts, where klainalsex performs Ghosts That We Knew. Let me dig up some links to others, hmm. There's another klb collab where (again) izbit and likearumchocolatesouffle sing as Adam and Kurt which is lovely. Aha, An Affair to Remember.
I would love to do meatspace collabs - seriously, if there are any other podficcers who happen to be in Edinburgh or even other parts of the UK, it would be awesome to meet up with you.
analise010 and I made a podcast for Thursday which was meant to be about personal preferences but touches on a lot of this stuff here too, actually. I guess so many of these issues are kind of linked together.
