    Summary

    After his Boxing Day fight with Ilya, Shane has a game plan to fix everything. He will come out as Ilya’s boyfriend to a few people, get himself used to the idea that everyone won’t hate him for it, and then think about telling more.

    Rose even has the perfect group in mind for Shane. After all, they were so kind when she and Shane were dating.

    Shane really isn’t prepared to enter his WAG era, but for Ilya’s sake, he will try.

    Summary

    During his first World Juniors, Canada's Shane Hollander met America's Carter Vaughan in the hotel lobby and the rest is history.

    This story is a look at a Shane with a best friend who tugs him out of his shell, a friend who pushes him to expand his circle, who helps him find the confidence to stand up for himself. His journey isn't without pitfalls, but one change, one extra person solidly in his corner who loves every jagged piece of him, takes him to new places and lets him take new risks.

    -

    Or: what would happen if Carter 'Ally' Vaughan was Shane's best friend and maybe, just maybe, the gays were a little messier?

    Or, a just-after-total-beginner guide to podfic.

    Summary

    I've recently had a few people ask me how I make my podfics. I explained this on a Discord chat, and thought this might be useful for others, too, so I'm tidying up the transcript and publishing it here for reference. I'd like to say upfront that I've been doing this for all of three months, and most of what I do is stuff I learned on my own, and with the kind help of a few friends and some online guides. I'm glad if this is helpful for some, but I'd be equally glad for more experienced folks to give me some hints to improve my own technique!
