I'm so sorry about this! You don't know me at all, but I am an avid listener, and a podficcer myself, and I am absolutely outraged on your behalf! The nerve here is astounding, honestly, and I can't believe these people think you're somehow compelled to fit all their little reader ticky-boxes because they want it. >:|
You keep doing you, yeah? I think you're great, and this podfic is great.
So you're totally wrong. I do know you! I'm just painfully shy, but I pretty much listen to everything you post.
I only upload my stuff to DW, so I often see your postings in Amp, and because you are kind enough to put streaming links in your posts, I oft click them.
I'm such a bozo for never having told you how much I like your stuff. I'm kind of a sucker for short podfics because sometimes it's hard for me to get engaged in a long one unless I'm running or driving, so I *love* short ones, and truly appreciate how often you churn out the short ones!
The first one I ever listened to of yours was I Make the Boys Fall Like Dominos and DAMN. Okay. So when I heard it my jaw dropped to the floor because I had podficced that same exact fic...but by a different author, and in a different fandom...and SHIT!!!! After researching it I realized my author had plagiarized it (your author had posted theirs one day before mine had posted hers). I felt so damn weird that I kind of blocked the whole thing out.
Anyway. Thanks for stopping by!! I thank you wholeheartedly for your kind words.

p.s. I'm terrible with titles, but you did this Brick podfic (Kara/Laura) a while back, and I think it's one of my favorite podfics in rotation in my iPod. So thank you!
Wow, thank you for the compliment! I'm really glad you enjoy the short ones, because those really are my favorite, where I can get a little bite of feeling (…and also less editing, ha). And I appreciate it so, so much when people compliment by Brick pods, because they are my darlings and they get so little love.
I totally didn't know that about All the Boys. Um, should we do something? Tell mind_conundrum? I've never really been in this situation.
I've never been in it either, and I think that's why I blocked it out. Here is the link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/412212. My author's version was posted 4 days after your author. It isn't 100% word-for-word, but it's damn close.
Let me know what you decide to do, if it's not too much trouble. (missdeidra@gmail.com) I still feel so uncomfortable about it to this day. I never recorded the author again because I don't know if she ripped off that other writer. I originally sent her a tumblr ask when I realized the similarity of the work, and she never answered me or spoke to me again. I don't know if the tumblr goblin ate my ask or if she was just ignoring me.
If you find out she plagiarized her, will you let me know so I can pull the podfic?
Anyway. I hope this is just one big misunderstanding.
