So I've gotten into podfic recently. Podic is to fanfiction what audiobooks are to published novels. I've read these aloud and put the time and effort into editing them. I love these fics. The fics I podfic are some of my favorite fics ever. So these are recommendations as well.
Title: Not a Pretty Girl
Author:
idyll
Reader:
opalsong
Fandom: Bandom (MCR)
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Gen
File size/type: 165.23MB .mp3
Length: 3:00:23
Summary: (no author summery for the entire series) Girl!Bob verse.
Excerpt: I. Being a female sound tech in the scene fucking sucks at first. No, really, it does. For a lot of reasons.
Bob discovers very quickly that most people are douchebags. Guys will take one look at her and reach for their zippers, women will call her a slut and a whore because she's always hanging out with men, and the worst of the lot will pretend they never did any of that and then come up to Bob with big fake smiles when they want something from her.

Why I Love This Fic: Girl!Bob is just (at a loss for words) so awesome. She's a girl but it doesn't take away anything that Bob is in regular MCR fic. In fandom we often don't see a lot of female characters taking center stage and very rarely (in my opinion) as well as Bob does here.

Why I Love This Fic: This was the fic I did not know I NEEDED in my life until I found it. It is short but sweet and just amazing. I want these two to meet later down the road and Gerard to be like "OMG it was YOU" and just... I love this fic (obviously).

Title: White Rabbit

Fandom: American Idol (season 8)
Rating: nc-17
Pairing: Kris/Adam/Katy
File size/type: 57.59MB .mp3
Length: 1:02:55
Summary: Katy looked at him, and that was one of the best things about Katy - she got him, even when what she was getting wasn't something she'd ever gotten from him before. She saw Kris going out of his skin and turned to Adam and said, "Do you think we could go out with you?"
She got him even when he didn't get himself.

Why I Love This Fic: I really like Kris, Adam, and Katy together and it is always interesting to see how authors deal with it. I really love when Kris and Katy are not clueless and have wants and needs of their own that they talk about and are aware of (such bad wording ><) The wings don't hurt either.

Why I Love This Fic: As I said before, I may have a thing for cross-dressing. I had been waiting for this fic since I heard Puck utter the phrase "I could wear a dress to school and make it cool" and the fic was everything I had ever hoped it would be.
