You too can put Guardian fans to sleep

[sef1029]

I've been told that some of my podfics are sleep-inducing (yeah, I know!). So I'm trying to make use of that skill by creating a Guardian podfic *intended* to lull fans to sleep. A cure for the insomnia of the times, perhaps.

Imagine, if you will, a dreamy serial story about a peaceful, rainy, unending night at the apartment with our heroes. Anyone can contribute a few paragraphs or a few pages about how Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei might spend an evening at home. No plot required! You don't even have to pick up on a storyline--as this is a dream, I can just add a little music or somesuch between fragments. That fluff you didn't (or did) put in an earlier story? Great. A recipe Shen Wei would make? Love it. Some deep (or silly) conversation? It's all good. A mumblemutter and MoonRacoon have already joined in, and with a bit more I'll start recording. 

If you're even a little tempted, please add something. Anything! Check the doc for prompts if you want 'em, but really this is a free for all. What do you dream about when you're nodding off? That's what sleepers want.

Anyway, here's the doc (with a link to background info) if you're interested and would like to join me in creating this weird little podfic.

Ooh, what an awesome idea! I'll give it some thought... :-)

[sef1029]

Fabulous! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

[sef1029]

Oh, brava! What a clever idea! I'm so glad you were inspired.

[china_shop]

Glad you like it! ♥! (I thought science talk might be nicely soporific. *g*)

I'm working on another one that sort of follows on -- I'll see if it comes together. :-)

ETA: Just added my second one. I wasn't sure whether to give it another header or not -- feel free to delete that, if you want. :-)

[sef1029]

Oh, another great piece. Thank you. Might as well keep the headers in case someone wants to extend either piece?

[china_shop]

Yay! Thank you!! :D And oh, good point, yes.

I think this is a wonderful idea. I like the idea of the two of them picking up after some kind of house party, maybe talking quietly about their colleagues who have just left and bickering a little about cleaning things vs throwing them away.

[sef1029]

That sounds perfect. DO IT, please!

[trobadora]

I'm very bad with fluff, but I love this idea! :D

[sef1029]

Hey, stretch yourself! ;-)

You could add some mystery, or some erotica, or... Sleepy people aren't going to judge you.

[trepkos]

Wonderful idea - I have been having a LOT of trouble sleeping, and this would be brilliant.

[sef1029]

Ah, good! Think about adding some prompts, or maybe a few paragraphs of your own?
