I signed up to battleshipex this year because of how motivating I found it in 2021 when I was on Team Void. I didn't think I'd sign up again, because while I did make a lot of podfic that year, I didn't find the format easy to make friends. What spurred me to sign up was the hope that having a team, challenges, and a goal would get me through a period of being well and truly stuck with podfic. It worked! Getting to know members of Team Tower this year was an unexpected bonus. Winning was another. 😁

( Stuff I Made ) 

For a twelve-day period in mid-July, I was firing shots and sinking ships with the Void Team as part of battleshipex. We won(!) and the collection, here, is crammed with amazing fanworks from both teams and definitely worth checking out - I'm lucky enough to have three glorious gifts in there, all fic for my rare pairs that I love! (Also, my new spacey icon was inspired by the Void Team being lost in space. I'm not sure how peas manage to look cute, but I really think they do floating out there among the stars.)

The exchange's concept is like a real game of battleship, though you can only fire shots on the opposing team's board if you create the grid reference's required number of fanworks containing a certain tag (each square has a different tag and requires a specific number of works.) With these goals in mind, I was hugely inspired to record podfics to sink ships - 26 of them! I can't believe that's more than I made throughout Voice Team 2021 and Voice Team Mystery Box... but I guess I just can't resist a bit of fannish competition!

I also wrote and podficced a drabble collection for Neko Atsume which was illustrated by the wonderful comicArtistA. You can find that here!

To prevent a wall of podfic posts going up on my journal at once, I've saved them up as private posts, and just hit publish on them. I now have the mammoth task of transferring all of these over to archive.org (they're currently hosted on Dropbox due to the exchange's anonymous requirements) and will be slowly working my way through that over the coming days. *sweats* If you'd rather not scroll back to see them all, here's a list of what I created, organised by fandom!
