Title: Four Men In Three Boats
Author: llassah
Reader: zabira
Fandom: Hard Core Logo
Pairing: Billy/Joe
Rating: PG13
Length: 8 minutes
Why I'm reccing this fic:
Because I love Hard Core Logo stories that show what happens to the band after Joe is gone. This is such a lyrical story and llassah is such a talented writer. Add zabira to the mix and you've got a well-read powerful story that rips your heart out and then kisses you on the cheek in apology.

Title: Gun, With Occasional Kangaroo: A Love Story
Author: runpunkrun
Reader: zabira
Fandom: due South
Pairing: Fraser/RayK
Rating: PG
Length: 79 minutes
Why I'm reccing this fic:
Two words: Luc Laberteaux. This story is so weirdly funny that I listen to it whenever I need cheering up. Fraser is at his freakest and there are so many little touches that are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. zabira's sunny voice adds another layer of fun. This is the podfic I would take to the bar to get drunk with.

Title: Real Boys
Author: Salieri (troyswann)
Reader: zabira
Fandom: due South AU
Pairing: Fraser/RayK
Rating: R
Length: 2 hours, 52 minutes
Why I'm reccing this fic:
Because sci-fi is the heart of what I am. And combining sci-fi with due South seems to be an almost impossible task, but troyswann pulled it off impressively. And then zabira added her talent and you have a richly satisfyingly epic tale in a beautifully realized world.

I'm posting this a teensy bit late, but it was very difficult for me! There are so many great podficcers in this fandom, I wanted to include everything! Three? Three was painful to me. As Ande says, these aren't my favorites, for it was impossible to narrow that list down to three, but they are beautiful readings of some wonderful stories:

Title: Two Solitudes
Author: nos4a2no9
Reader: lamentables
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17
Length: 35 minutes
Why I'm reccing this podfic: lamentables perfectly captures the slightly melancholy tone of this beautiful first-time story, and her reading is very relaxed and assured. When I listen to this, it's as if my body is breathing one big sigh of contentment. The pace is perfect, lamentables has a very pleasant voice (and accent, yay!) and she gives very good Fraser. If you listen, be sure to let her know what you thought. I would love to encourage her to record more for us.

Title: East O' The Sun, West O' The Moon
Author: hth_the_first
Reader: nos4a2no9
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17
Length: 53 minutes
Why I'm reccing this podfic: I love this story, and nos4a2no9's voice really seems to suit it. I love her as Fraser. She's wonderful at articulating his personality with her voice. The reading is also very smooth and self-assured, and just exactly the right pace for me. And, sorry if this is TMI, but Nos really rocks the sexy-bits...Mmmmm.

Title: The Course
Author: thisisbone and cimmerians
Reader: luzula
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17
Length: 4 hours
Why I'm reccing this podfic: luzula does an excellent job of quietly articulating the emotional tone of a story. She doesn't push too hard on it, leaves room for the reader's interpretation, but the feelings of the characters still come through loud and clear. I love all of her podfic, so I really had a hard time choosing, and I can't even really call any particular one my favorite, but in this one, I love what she's done to differentiate between Ray and Fraser. And, well, it's such a fun story! I love to listen to it.
