I reread that McSpot series so often. It was, like, the perfect trope subversion of Sad Shea Weber for me. How to describe its appeal, how it made me like the Sad Shea Weber-ness of it? The use of whacky supernatural elements to explain the all the repression and insecurity, mmmmm. Good angst.

I confess to still hoping for another sequel too. Porn, no porn, it doesn't matter to me though.

I just wanted Parise and Weber to run off together.

I actually use a headset mic for the (nonsports) podcast that I'm on - I have a quiet voice, and it helps reduce background noise for me as well.

I use a Plantronics
Audio 655 USB Multimedia Headset with Noise Canceling Microphone - 30$ on amazon. It’s not going to set the world on fire, but it's cheap, gives good sound, and makes sure I can be heard clearly.

DA I have a Blue Snowball that I really like. I got mine for about $70 CAD, but I believe you can find them for slightly cheaper if you're in the states.

I looked around at a lot of recs before I bought it--if you google "podcast mic recs" or something along those lines, you should be able to find some good lists. Some of the recommendations are going to be a lot pricier, though. A lot of people rec mics like Blue's Yeti, which is a few hundred dollars, so probably not ideal if you've got a smaller budget or just want something decent for a hobby.

I'd also recommend looking into making a homemade pop filter (super cheap and easy to do) and also some of the tutorials on recording tips and tricks. And then just do lots of sound tests, try things out, and make sure you have someone who can do a good job editing things down. Also, a few test episodes probably wouldn't be amiss. It takes awhile to get a feel for things, and you can always ask friends for feedback and get an idea of what does and doesn't work.

Awesome. That's pretty similar to what I have, though is probably a cheap enough upgrade I'll give it a try. If this podcast goes >6 months, I'll invest in something a bit higher end.

I don't know for sure, but his mother is Mexican, and he's talked about her cooking traditional Mexican food when he was in Switzerland.

Re: Fandom Venting

Thanks! Yeah, I'd found more expensive recs, so appreciate the other recs. Same with the pop filter - and yeah, good idea about circulating it a bit more closely (though, I mean, it's probably going to be friends and family for the first few eps regardless) before going through putting it on iTunes.

Not saying it doesn't benefit, my primary point was that even for hobbyist there can be a gendered divide surrounding the amount of income a hobby is bringing in.

If you're starting a podcast and open to some advice - beyond the obvious sound checks, on of the easiest ways to improve your sound quality is to have people mute when they aren't speaking. It reduces so much background noise.

Also, Audacity is free and there are quite a few tutorials for using it with podcasts, and getting good post production.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, I am, and thanks! I have Audacity, but haven't looked at tutorials (I'm doing content management and friend is doing sound/tech production), so I'll pass that along.

Re: Fandom Venting

[(Anonymous)]

I agree to a point. Most people podcast in aren't making a living at it. You just have to be willing to do some research and extra work to create a quality product.

Dear hockeycake tumblr,

I don't know why a themed blog would ever go off queue unless there was a timeliness factor involved.

As I understand it "Latinx" is kind of a catchall term for anybody who has Central and/or South American roots. So yeah, if his grandmother isn't Mexican and neither parent is either, he would not normally be considered Latinx and it makes sense that he might be uncomfortable being IDed as such.

(I have the vague impression that at some point he said he considers himself Spanish ethnicity-wise but that could be inaccurate. So he *might* be a US-definition Hispanic, but "it's sort of complicated" is accurate.)

These Sharknado-themed rally towels are pretty great.

Hey, just making for a few days of inactivity. (don't worry I'm queueing now.)

Sorry I was cranky - thank you! It's just butts all the way down on my dash.

nonnie who proposed porn:

I never really shipped them as a *couple* until Suter introduced Zara Parise, ECHL hotshot/go-go bar bouncer/extrovert to a really shy bb!Weber in Flightless Birds and left him all tongue-tied and blushy. The last part posted has ot3 Parise/Suter/Weber post-playoffs cuddling at the very end, which made me go awww.....

(The series is really really wankable about, but it works for me. GIGANTIC sexual assault/other creepy shit warnings.)

He identifies as being of Mexican heritage. And from being from Arizona.

xeno porn where predator!Shea eats out rule 63 Parise

At first I read this as Weber as a Predator alien from the movie, then I reasoned it must the Predators team, then I spotted xeno kink and now I'm not sure but maybe all those moving facial parts are good for oral?

Hertl is out for the Sharks tonight with a lower body injury. Ouch.

Re: What's Up With Your Team - Third Round and Counting

Oh, jeez. He's been their best forward too. I don't want them to win, but I don't want them to lose while not firing on all cylinders.

Re: Fic discussion

ayrt/

Predator as in their logo (big cat, in other words. Basically I just wanted Shea to be able to purr while going down and probably do some tongue tricks as well). Sorry the wording confused you :(

I would happily take a version where Weber's second form is a Predator alien so long as everybody has a good time and nobody dies, though.

Re: What's Up With Your Team - Third Round and Counting

And considering he must be really hurt to miss this game. Ouch.
