So, I posted this podfic to AO3 and my webpage earlier this month but I didn't crosspost it, so here it is now:

OK, I know I hardly ever update this thing anymore, especially not with things that aren't podfic announcements, but I just had to write this down, for posterity's sake.

The Fall Out Boy Hiatus Is Over!!!!!!

I can't even tell you how excited I am guys! I had missed the news that they were making an announcement today, until this morning. And even then I didn't expect much, because the Joe had put down the rumours of a get back together last week.

And then I came back from talking with a co-worker to incoherent flailing on Twitter. OMG, I seriously lost it. I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to keep my squeaking under control (only 2 escaped). I flailed, I cried, I gave myself an asthma attack.

For those that haven't heard, not only is the hiatus over, but they've released a single, announced an album and have released a tour schedule

I never thought I'd have a chance to see them live!!!! I thought I had joined the fandom too late.

So, now I'm trying to ~plan things~. May 24-26 they're doing shows in Toronto, Montreal, Boston. I'm hoping I can road trip it! The biggest problem is that the drive home from Boston on Sunday is 7.5 hours long. I'm hoping I can find someone to drive with me, so I can sleep part of the way home. But so far most of the likely local options are going to be going to Wiscon that weekend. :( But! reena_jenkins said she'd go to the Boston show with me! So I can't miss that one!


What is it about fandom that's been giving me so damned many feels lately!? IT'S LIKE I'M NO LONGER A FUNCTIONING HUMAN BEING!!!! And to think, last night I was so down after reading some of the Mikey drama I wanted to give up on RPF forever. Silly Lindsay.

Monday was isweedan's birthday and I made her podfic. Except, the reminder I set for myself didn't go off when I told it too, so I ended up being a little last minute about it and only posted it to my website and AO3. Then I had a really crazy week so I'm only getting to posting it here now. So, for anyone that missed it:



Fic: Three Years and Two Days by LittleMousling
Fandom: Bandom (Panic! at the Disco)
Pairing: Brendon/Spencer
Length: 0:13:08
Links: MP3 ||| M4B

Summary: Brendon's twitter typo outs his marriage to the world, and he doesn't know what to do next.

Notes: Made for isweedan's birthday.

So, I've basically been going insane for the past few weeks, trying to finish up the school semester. Podfic is one of the only things getting me through this past month. Which leads me to the purpose of this entry.

Dear Bandom friends (you know who you are Twitter peeps),

I hate you all¹. *glares* I have been successfully avoiding bandom for 2 years now, ever since klb tried to convert me. But apparently knowing all the bandom podficcers on Twitter, I've learned a lot through osmosis. And when I asked for podfic recs 12 days ago on Twitter, I got some bandom recs (big surprise). I've now listened to about 40 hours worth of bandom podfic in the, like, 2 weeks since I asked for podfic recs.

I've really been enjoying listening to so much podfic. In the past I listened to podfic a lot at work, so would be listening on a computer. Since I went back to school I haven't had nearly as much podfic listening time since I wasn't at work with the podfic sitting there. But part of how I managed to listen to that much podfic (when really, I've been running around like a chicken with its head cut off for school/work) is because I've finally started putting podfic on my mp3 player. It's pretty awesome being able to listen for the 10 minutes between classes, in the car, while cooking dinner, while falling asleep, etc.

I've come to the realization that, you know how a lot of non-podfic listeners say they don't listen because they can read faster? That is totally not true for me. I can listen to a podfic soooo much faster than I can read the fic. Like, I'm sure if I were to read the equivalent of that 40 hours I've gone though, it would have taken me at least 5X as long.
I've also realized that I would happily substituted all my fic reading for podfic listening (well, except, how would I ever find fic to record myself then? Hmmm, dilemma).

But, yes, I've got a foot in the door for bandom now and am trying to enjoy that new fandom love, by consuming all the awesome things (which is such a nice relief after struggling for months to find things I want to read in AI fandom - though, it is weird to see Adam showing up in bandom things. In one story he was even the bad guy! :P).

¹ Except not really, please send fic recs! (I don't really need podfic recs; at this point I'll probably listen to them all. I've been trying to contain myself to MCR and really like the stories where they're fighting for a greater good or something [Like I Gave Been All Things Unholy or The Fall and Rise of the Black Parade]. Please and thank you!).
