I personally encourage EVERYBODY, as much as I can to stop thinking about podfic that way. I mean, I worked alongside Jinjur on a version of a Beautiful Lifetime Event so we could release both our versions at the same time (the poor woman had to wait for me; she was done much sooner), and we plotted this as a purposeful, 'spectacular' way to advertise our opinion that several podfics of the same story is a great, positive thing.

The idea that some people dismiss recording stories they would love to record because 'it's already been done' give me fear-and-loathing-induced shivers (not that I think you believe that, or that I react to PEOPLE who think like that with disgust. It's the IDEA. *g*). EEK NOES!
