Opalsong's Podfic

I'll probably use this tumblr as a means to follow people I like and a place to post my podfic.

Greek pronounciation for Fire_Juggler. 

In the audio is both a pronounciation of all the words separately as well as the sentence as a whole.

Μία λέξη μας απελευθερώνει από το βάρος και την οδύνη της ζωής - αυτή η λέξη είναι η αγάπη

Mia lexei mas apeleutheronei apaw taw baraws kai tein awdünei teis zoeis – autei hei lexei einai hei agapei

M or μ = m (mother)

α = a (father)

λ = l (law)

ξ = x (axiom)

η = e (obey) (I’ve transcribed this as “ei”)  (when this appears by itself it is an article and it gets a “rough breathing” mark.  I’ve transcribed that here as “h”)

ε = e (met)   ç NB! These 2 “e” sounds are NOT the same

ς = s (study)

π = p (peach)

υ = ü (like in German)

θ = th (thing)

ρ = r (rod)

ν = n (new)

ι = I (intrigue) ç you can pronounce this both like “ee” and “ih”

τ = t (talk)

β = b (brother)

ο = o (not) (I’ve transcribed this as “aw”)

ω = o (tone)  ç once again these are not the same “o” sound

κ = k (kitchen)

δ = d (dog)

ζ = z (daze)

γ = g (gone)

ευ = (feud)

ει = (eight)

αυ = (sauerkraut)

The accents are stress markers.  Whichever syllable (vowel) the accent is above is the stressed syllable in the word.

I’ve included a recording of me pronouncing this sentence.  I haven’t done this for a while so it is pretty rough.  I’m also sure that there were probably different speech patterns or something but that would require more research (it isn’t in my notes… mostly because very few people actually SPEAK ancient greek these days)

I hope this helps.

Dear Podficcer,

Dear Podficcer,

Thank you :)

First, let me thank you for doing this!  This is amazing!  All of the super important info is below, in various different sections.  I figure I’ll talk about that I love in my podfic/fic here.  I really need to get this up on the internet so I can actually sign up so I’ll just say that I LOVE crossovers.  So if you have a crossover this one of my chosen fandoms, GO FOR IT!  Especially if you provide a wiki/primer of the crossedover fandom.  I might update this over the next couple of days to include more about what I like/don’t like but I think this has the basics.

Though if this is all TL;DR please just go to my pinboard ( https://pinboard.in/u:opalsong ) and look for the [ extra:toPodfic ] (without the brackets) tag.  All the stuff I mean to podfic is there.  I’m still adding stuff to it so over the next couple of days it will probably expand.  Anything in that tag is something that I would love to be podficced (and that I mean to do myself eventually). 

Triggers/Ships/Squicks

I have no triggers, well unless you count horrible second hand embarrassment…

Squicks: One of the only hardcore squicks I have is generation gap/huge age differences in pairings.  I’m also not a fan of humiliation and watersports? If you’re going to do porn?  Other than that, I can’t really think of any things (off the top of my head) that will make me avoid a fic out of hand. 

Pairings:  I didn’t used to have an OTP but Homestuck fandom has broken me L  I love Karkat<>Gamzee (if you are not in the Homestuck fandom and have no idea what the <> means, don’t worry about it… or better yet, go read it J).  If you do a Homestuck fic is absolutely does not need to have Karkat<>Gamzee in it, but if those two are going to be in pale relationships, it has to be with each other.  Does that make sense?  I felt it was kinda confusing.  But I need to get this in.  Other than that, I’ll list pairings that I’m a fan of beside the fandoms for convenience.  Oh… also polyamorous relationships are always ok!

MODS

It's Probably Plain to See That I Got a Whole Lot of Pain In Me [Homestuck]

This is the other Karkat<>Gamzee fic that I hold all other Pale fics up against. (The previous was Amateur Palemates Smutting It Up!!). Title: It's Probably Plain to See That I Got a Whole Lot of Pain In Me Author: mercurialMalcontent Reader: opalsong Fandom: Homestuck Pairings: Karkat<>Gamzee Rating: Mature Length: 57:02 Cover Art: opalsong Summary:

Your moirail is something of a shambling disaster -- his hair is a tangled, frizzy mess, his clothes are tattered at the hems and grimy, and he could stand a wash or five himself. But it isn't, you've realized, that Gamzee doesn't want to care for himself, it's more that he doesn't know how to take care of himself well. You're not sure why, since he had access to the same schoolfeeding as everyone else, but maybe it was because he was alone too much for so long. Maybe it's hard to care, or know to care, when there's no one to fuss over you.

Amateur Palemates Smutting It Up!! [Homestuck; written by Asuka Kureru; read by Opalsong]

This was one of the first Homestuck fics I ever read and it and one other Karkat<>Gamzee fic (that I'm going to post as soon as I get it edited) are still the standards to which I hold Pale romance. Title: Amateur Palemates Smutting It Up!! Author: askerian Reader: opalsong Fandom: Homestuck Pairings: Karkat<>Gamzee Rating: Teen Length: 32:42 Cover Art: opalsong Summary:

Of course he'd caught the little glances. Sneaky or not, they'd been going on for perigees now; he would have had to be blind, and also to be hit on the head with something heavy and not skull-friendly.

At first he hadn't cared because of course it was Leader-envy, or admiration or secret crushes or what the fuck ever they had other shit to do and if someone wanted to speak up they could and in the meantime fuck you, and after that for a while he'd mostly gritted his teeth and tried to tell himself it was just paranoia and/or perfectly normal group dynamics in a long-term close quarters arrangement. Right? Right.

Only they'd never looked at him that way before he and Gamzee hooked up, and then he realized it wasn't him people looked at, it was at them.

--

Now with sequel!

"Holy fucking shit, this is the kinkiest thing I have ever done."

Woo conciliatory shenanigans.

Links: MP3 Archive Link Notes: This was one of my first attempts at Gamzee's voice.  So hard to edit.  It's all slurry which means no natural breaks.  Also, reading with a lisp is hard!  I'm pretty sure I missed a couple of "s"s... And what IS the seadweller accent?  I think I went through like, 3 or 4 accents for Eriden in this thing.... Cross posted at amplificathon and AO3
