I find that every fic I read these days I analyze to see how it would podfic.

In general, you have to keep an eye out for some of the special things author's have been putting into their fics. For example, Drastically Redefining Protocol, the reading of this fic was awesome, however the author had a lot of articles imbedded into the story, and quite a few at the end (I found that the podfic was missing an important part of the story since the reader didn't read all of them).

Such stories are a challenge to try to read. There are also quite a few fics with emails imbedded into them, which can make it awkward to read.

Also, something to consider is how similar the author's writing style is to your own. I'm doing a podfic right now (for help_haiti) where the word patterns are just so different from my own style that I find myself messing up every other sentence.
