[Podfic] Live from New York

by jellyfishfire

Summary:

Wei Ying lets out a long, ugly groan. “I am fine, Lan Zhan. Everybody is overreacting, it’s so embarrassing for all of you.”

“You had undiagnosed pneumonia, which you walked around with for weeks until you passed out during dress,” Lan Wangji corrects him. “It got a big laugh, until everyone thought you were dead.”

He keeps his voice even and does not tell Wei Ying that it had been Lan Wangji who caught him, who called the ambulance, and who rode with him to the hospital, where he was yelled at by nurses who wanted to know why he hadn’t noticed that Wei Ying couldn’t stop shivering or string proper sentences together.

“Rumors of my demise have been vastly overstated,” Wei Ying says. “Anyway, I’m already feeling much better. Basically fine. Really almost completely back to normal, so stop babying me and tell me why the fuck you let your stupid brother hire the worst man in the world to host our show.”

OR: the one where they all work at SNL, Yanli's ex-boyfriend is hosting, and that's just the beginning of everybody's problems.

BLESSINGS UPON THE HOUSE OF VARNES, for having BP *big eyes emoji* How to make a socially anxious podficcer's day, in .2 seconds or less.

So, like, ngl, I started working on this in January (technically December 31 at 9am, bc I was a crazy person who thought 'heck, if This's how NY is going this time 'round, what if I did a podfic marathon and tried to record/edit/post an 87k podfic all in 24 hrs??' *looks at calendar, looks into camera*) obv that didn't quite pan out, BUT, A Bitch Is Currently In The Process Of Moving, aaaand in the spirit of cleaning up shop, I wanted to stick this on the metaphorical fridge, bc I'm still heckin proud of it so far.

I'll be real w u, it ain't finished, I haven't even finished recording the fic yet, bc I have #BigDreams for the last couple of chapters w things I want to try! I feel like a disreputable WIP queen, but I've been percolating on it and the podficcer's tendancy towards perfectionism, and whined a lot to Kisa and Dana about it, which was actually the deciding factor bc Kisa said "you know, you can just post it? What's stopping you, like actually?". AND SHE'S RIGHT #GetYouABro T-T I would seriously have consigned this project to a dusty C:Drive of oblivion without Kisa and Dana cheering me on, and I wish to bring you both umbrella drinks and stare into your eyes adoringly and fan you with palm fronds, plz let me know if you'd like a CV, I am a leading expert in palm fronding, references available upon request (BUT ONLY FOR UUUUU ME BBIESSS <3 <3)

ANYWAY, THIS SECT HAS CONTINUED TO BE A LIGHT IN DARK PLACES ETC (seriously, moving is a hellscape, GAWD), STAY HYDRATED, LUV YOU, JELLY OUT.
