Yeah, I keep wanting to do something that can stand out. I adore podfics, I really do but when it came time to rec things for amplirecathon I was drawing a blank. There were a lot that I loved, but it was so wrapped up in the story that it felt odd to rec them. As I mentioned above the last podfic I posted had 3 readers and we switched off POVs and this seemed to work really well for people. I want to find more stories where I can approach them differently and see what happens. It may not work out, but it's fun trying :)
Once when I was editing a podfic, I was surprised at the handful of times I'd unconsciously substituted a word that had the same starting sound and meant almost the same thing (or at least still made sense) for one that the author had used. Like my brain was set on "find alliterative synonyms". I think it's less of your brain saying "Find alliterative synonyms" as that's just what brains do.
Have you ever seen that email forward talking about a study that was done that discovered that so long as the first letter and last letter of a word were in the correct spot the rest of the letters can be all mixed up and people can still understand it. I was about halfway through the email before I noticed that through out the explanation they had, in fact, been moving all the internal letters so everything was spelled incorrectly.
One of my friends noticed on the second word that it was incorrectly spelled. My brain just processes things without my having to concentrate on them very much and I know it's not uncommon. When you read, you get what's going on, you have an idea where things are going so you are able to skim past the words in front of you without reading them completely. Which is where the alliterative synonyms come in :)
