You make some good points that I haven't thought about I've been thinking about this post for a couple days now and was kind of surprised at how many I came up with. They're not things I consciously go into a fic look/looking out for but they can make a huge difference on how easy it is to make the podfic or, sometimes, can make me give up on podficcing a fic.
Then there's the author's style. I sometimes really like an author's style, but I can still have a hard time reading it. *nods* I thought about putting something like that in my post but I couldn't really articulate it that well and it's such a personal thing. Like, I've podficced three stories written by moirariordan, she's an awesome author, but there are a lot of author's I love. The reason I've done 3 of her stories is because I find them so much easier to read than others. On the other side of that, there's this one podfic I've made but haven't released yet. Those who have listened to it have said it's good but I had so much trouble making it. It was a 3.5 hour recording for a 1.75hour podfic (I don't think I've ever cut out so much on a single fic). Every time I listen to it, it just sounds *wrong* and unnatural from how I normally am.
I think it probably has something to do with how close the writer's style is to my natural speaking style.
