Fan Fic Goodness for the Joss Whedon Addict

A few weeks ago I told you about auditions for a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer audio drama. While you are waiting for that audio goodness to hit your ear buds, there is something that could help keep the Joss Whedon fan sane in the meantime.

Strangely Literal is hosted by the ultimate Whedon fangirl Tabz, and she brings you the most fanTABZulous fan fiction in the Whedonverse. Many are written by her, but several are also written by other Whedon fans (see the site for info on how you can submit your stories).

Now, my only Whedon outlet so far has been Firefly (yes, I'm slow- I even saw Serenity before watching Firefly!). It was this podcast and catching up on past episodes that really has made me want to go and check out other shows like Buffy! That Tabz, creating fan people wherever she goes!

The most recent episode? One of the best, if I do say so myself... heheheeeeeee... ;-)

Check out Strangely Literal, and tell Tabz her BTF sent you!

Three neat-o podcast hits

Tee Morris's new pod-book, "Billibub Baddings and the Case of the Singing Sword", takes the podiobook to the next level. Sure, you get straight narration of the story. The twist is in the added sound effects, music, and even a cast! It's a great fantasy twist on the old private-dick theme. The 9th chapter just went up, so you can start listening and don't even have to have lag time in-between chapters!

Why have I waited so long to bring this up? Why, because I was waiting for my debut, that's why! LOL!

What's funny is, I had several audio things that I did at different times, and it's all coming out at the same time. It's quite hilarious to me, but the little stroke of the ego is kinda nice too... heheheh. I've been a long-time listener to the Variant Frequencies podcast. So when Rick asked if I'd like to read a flash fiction piece, I was like uh, hell yeah!

And I got to be creepy... me likey. I hope you do too! Though I couldn't do it without an awesome story to begin with, written by Anne Stringer. (See? Matt Wallace doesn't take up the WHOLE podcast... ;-) )


And finally... me thinks I should finally watch Buffy and see what the hub-bub is all about.

Gettin' crazy on the Society

With Crazy Dog Audio, of course! The Sonic Society is counting down to the end of their second season with a 4-parter from the Irish group.

Then the second part of the Dick Dynamo interview, and yep, you guessed it- Robotz!

The are also going to be announcing the winners of the Firefly:Old Wounds T-shirt contest on next week's show, as well as posting pics of all the entries. Very exciting, can't wait to see who they chose!

Firefly Old Wounds T-shirt Contest!

Speaking of Sonic Society, they happen to be holding a big damn contest! They want a Firefly:Old Wounds T-Shirt made. However, the folks at the Society are writers and voice actors, not graphic design artists. (I've seen their work- and trust me, they should stick to writing and voice acting.) :-P

So they want YOU to do it for them! The contest runs through the end of the month, and you can get ALL the details at the link.

Been waitin' for more Firefly?

Well wait no longer! The 6th and final installment of Sonic Cinema's Firefly: Old Wounds went up all secret-like over the weekend. It's a big one- the episode itself is 45 minutes- but as always it's worth every minute of your time!

For those who have not heard this amazing audio adventure, you can get every episode right here:

Which will also work well for people (such as myself), who might want to listen to the entire thing straight through!

UPDATE: I just found out that Sonic Cinema is most graciously offering all the scripts to the public as well- ain't that shiny? Get more information and a link to download HERE.

Badger Books- new audio fiction podcast hub

Just found this little tidbit from the Sonic Society blog. Jill from The Signal podcast has created a podcast directory site specifically for Firefly audio fiction content.

Badger Books currently has a directory of three podcasts, but I imagine it will fill up quickly, considering the endless Firefly-related audio out there in the 'verse.

Special features to the site include no registration, no promos within the episode, and the kicker- you can choose exactly how you want your content delivered in your feed. The idea is customized ease, and switching from the traditional rss of having the most recent episode first in your playlist.

I played around with it a bit, and I like the idea, though it does seem like a little more work than just a simple click-and-subscribe. If you're picky about what order your episodes are listed, then it's a good thing.

The site looks to be in its inception- I look forward to seeing how it grows!
