Kitty snuck around the crowd of photographers, ducking her way through to the front as Midge readied herself to plant her hands for her square on Hollywood Boulevard.
She'd learned a thing or two from Susie about using being shorter than the rest of the group to your advantage over the years. Although at twelve she'd already passed Susie by a few inches... Might need to shake up her strategy soon.
"Ah! They didn't say it would feel so gooshy. Why did I have my nails done for this?" Midge laughed.
"Because you're a perfectionist, Sweetheart. Come on, you've gotta really get in there with it. We want these prints to last!"
Her father came in behind her stepmother, encouraging her palms into the wet cement, the press snapping pictures and vying for their attention all the while.
Mrs. Maisel!
Mrs. Maisel!
Miriam how does it feel to--
"Mrs. Maisel! Which is worse?" Kitty piped up in a false gravel. "That wet cement there or having to clean Ethan's jockey shorts after a double header?"
Her parents looked up, their professional smiles giving way to genuine laughter as her shutter clicked.
Got 'em.

This month I was fortunate to participate in a massive podfic challenge called @voiceteam on Discord, and was a part of Team Orange-You-Glad-I-Saved-This-Braincell.
TEAM BRAINCELL TOP 12 PODFICS (and other audio fanworks)
If you would like to hear the best of our work, you can listen to a highlights reel here.
12. In Which We Properly Sort Water Into It's Hogwart's House, and other Such Things by Team Braincell
Type: Oral not!fic
Featuring: @mayonnaisetoffees, @omg-elledubs-things, @romansuzume, @jetainia, @oakleaffic, @shadowravin, @sunlightsymphony, and @fishandchipsandvinegar
Fandom: Water
Ship: Many, Many Things/Water
Rating: Explicit
Length: 36:21
While this oral not!fic entertains the idea of water having its own fandom, it did birth all of our “Water Fandom” content on AO3. It seems cracky, but this not!fic is actually a really funny listen if you’re looking to kill a bit of time. And we think the Water Fandom is really going to take off. Even if we have to single handedly do it:
11. The Influences of Ourselves by @jetainia
Type: Podfic
Read By: @jetainia
Fandom: Water and Harry Potter Crossover
Ship: The Black Lake/The Giant Squid
Rating: Mature
Length: 2:00
This requires some context of the “Water Fandom” mentioned above as it is one of the fanworks created for it. It’s the story of The Black Lake and the Giant Squid and is actually really beautiful.
10. What Do You Do As A Fallen Angel by @fishandchipsandvinegar, @thegay-uillotine, and @oakleaffic
Type: Filk
Sung By: Team Braincell, and various Voiceteam contributors
Fandom: Good Omens
Ship: Aziraphale/Crowley
Rating: Teen
Length: 8:02
It’s Crowley’s adventures sung to the tune of Drunken Sailor. What’s not to love? Alright, so it’s a little all over, but it just adds to the genuineness of it being a folk song. Brace yourself for the “Hail The Great Beasts.”
9. A Mice Day by @doublel27
Type: Podfic
Read By: @sunlightsymphony
Fandom: Schitt’s Creek
Ship: Patrick/David
Rating: General
Length: 9:32
I don’t know if it’s just that @sunlightsymphony has the perfect voice for fluff or what? But something about this keeps me coming back. It’s cute and light and silly and overall, a good listen.
8. Dumbass (With Love) by @anxiousoddish
Type: Podfic
Read By: @mayonnaisetoffees
Fandom: Team StarKid
Ship: Paul Matthews/Emma Perkins
Rating: Teen
Length: 18:03
I’m not even in this fandom and I’ve listened to this more times than I care to admit. Despite this actually being a somewhat serious fic, @mayonnaisetoffees keeps this light and funny all the way through. It carries, even if you aren’t in the fandom.
7. If The Heavens Ever Did Speak by @captaingondolin
Type: Podfic
Read By: @captaingondolin
Fandom: Shakespeare RPF and Historical RPF
Ship: Shakespeare/Marlowe
Rating: Teen
Length: 12:53
Yes I’ve also listened to this more times than I care to admit. This podfic is singlehandedly dragging me into the Shakespeare/Marlowe ship, and yes, there’s exactly as many dick jokes as you’d expect.
6. How The Thought of You Does Things to Me by @romansuzume
Type: Podfic
Read By: @romansuzume
Fandom: Marvellous Mrs. Maisel
Ship: Lenny Bruce/Miriam "Midge" Maisel
Rating: Teen
Length: 19:14
This isn’t the ship I think I’d pick from the show, but I’m here for any Mrs. Maisel content. Gingermaggie’s write and read is the balance of levity and gravity that encompasses Mrs. Maisel.
5. Stories That I Used to Know by @omg-elledubs-things
Type: Filk
Sung By: @omg-elledubs-things
Fandom: Archive of Our Own
Ship: None
Rating: General
Length: 4:03
Okay, this is just still stuck in my head and I feel a little called out. It’s a lot of fun and the recording is great!
4. Bang by @stars-inthe-sky
Type: Podfic
Read By: @liquidlyrium and @shadowravin
Fandom: MCU
Ship: Natasha/Bucky
Rating: General
Length: 2:27
Ravin and Liquid Lyrium’s performances of this are so perfect, it feels like more than a podfic. It will have you laughing from start to finish.
3. I AM GROOT by sherlocksmyth on AO3
Type: Podfic? (Read: Abomination)
Created By: @mayonnaisetoffees and @fishandchipsandvinegar
Fandom: Guardians of the Galaxy
Ship: Just Groot
Rating: Explicit (but it’s safe for work, we promise)
Length: 11:45
Ah yes, the thing that sent us down the road to madness. This is ridiculous and will make you laugh. It’s an “explicit” Groot fic, but I promise it is safe for work.
It’s what happens when you decide you can make a podfic using only clips from songs and videos of Vin Diesel reading his lines.
2. The Devil’s Cut/The Angel’s Share by @racketghost
Type: Podfic
Read By: @liquidlyrium
Fandom: Good Omens
Ship: Aziraphale/Crowley
Rating: Explicit
Length: 40:00
Liquid Lyrium put their heart and soul into this and it shows. The read is breathtaking and the pacing is perfect.
1. The Great Miserables Bake Off by @kjack89
Type: Podfic
Read By: @oakleaffic, @sammysidle, @christchex, @thegay-uillotine, @jetainia, @fishandchipsandvinegar, @mayonnaisetoffees, @rindle, @sunlightsymphony, @shadowravin, @captaingondolin
Fandom: Les Miserables
Ship: Enjolras/Grantaire, Combeferre/Courfeyrac, Cosette/Marius
Rating: General
Length: 52:02
This is I think the biggest multivoice production I’ve ever listened to. It was incredible that we were able to get all of the voices and the script style made it all come together just like an actual episode of Bake Off, complete with dramatic music.
Everyone did an incredible job, but things to listen for: @mayonnaisetoffees and @jetainia as Enjolras and Grantaire played perfectly off of each other despite the fact that they were recording in completely opposite time zones.
@sunlightsymphony nailed Marius’ constant state of worry, and @oakleaffic nailed the perfect balance to all our drama with a well-rounded narration role.
It was one of the first things we all did together but I think it also stands out as maybe our best project. So it gets the #1 slot.
Thanks for Listening!
