Looking back, did you make more podfic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d predicted?

I thought I'd keep going with the pace I set last year, or at least post more than I did, but it's okay, I probably needed a break?

What pairing/genre/fandom did you record that you would never have predicted in January?

The Davo/Stromer/Marns one was a bit of a surprise, but so was the Dragon/Human one XD.

Did you take any podfic risks this year?

Not really, to be honest. The biggest risk was adding a lot of effects to make myself more dragon-y.

How did you grow as a reader/editor this year?

I don't think I did at all XD

Personal favorite, for whatever reason?

The dragon one, for sure. Just the most interesting one.

Was there one that didn't turn out the way you wanted?

Not really, no. But I didn't make many this year.

Most popular that was posted this year?

Causes of Blindness, but that's because it's been up the longest. Heart Duplex actually garnered a bunch of comments and kudos in a short time.

Most underappreciated that was posted this year?

Can't really say. They all did relatively same-y.

Most "ah ha ha I can't believe I did this"?

Definitely the Human/Dragon Omegaverse one :D

Biggest learning experience?

Making podfics is exhausting.

Most difficult to make?

to the victor go the spoils because of the dragon voice which took some effect work and research. It also made me hoarse xD

A scene or character you voiced that surprised you.

I don't really know how to answer this to be honest.

Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a podficcer)
(could be another podficcer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc)

It might honestly have been dadvans who wanted to learn about podficcing which in turn motivated me to make some more close to the end of the year.
