"no matter how fast or slow you read, you're going to be reading too fast for some people, too slow for some people, and perfectly for some people. You can speed up or slow down, but that is not going to change; it's just going to hit different people."

and

"no matter ho much you emote, you're going to be emoting too much for some people, not enough for some people, and perfectly for some people."

THIS IS SO TRUE AND I AM SO GLAD IT WAS SAID SO CLEARLY. :D

It's basically the moral for me of podfic fandom's whole foray into critiquefests, the critical feedback exchange and beta/critique mailing list, and the early days of podficmeta. All these things where we were trying to figure out how to make podfic objectively better until we had to throw up our hands and admit that we were running around in circles without getting anywhere, because podfic tastes are just so incredibly subjective.

(P.S. You should totally accept my advances to be twitter friends so we can talk about podfic all the tiiiiime. I think knight_tracer DMed you a while back and explained which twitter name was me?)
