Hey, I'm in a thing!

I've been very quietly involved with the Fandomspotting broadcast (all [personal profile] zanzando's fault) and yesterday was my first turn on an episode. It's about 'the best anime/manga you're [the english speaking fandom] not reading/watching' and it's full of great panelists (including Melinda from MangaBookshelf) and also me. You should check it out!

We were joking before the broadcast that it felt like exams, with the nerves and the prep and the copious notes. And I did... okay, I guess? I completely, completely flubbed my bit on Hayate x Blade, but everything else went well enough.

Fortunately, I have my Hayate x Blade Guide to Idiots post to fall back on - if you're interested in a hilarious, action packed, girl filled, explicitly queer manga of amazing, you should go read it.

The broadcast itself, as a physical experience, was kind of strange. Everyone else's mics get muted when it's your turn to talk, and the silence is very, very... loud. I guess. So I'm talking, but I can't really hear myself through my headphones, and there's no audio feedback, and it feels like I'm sitting in my (very quiet) room making mouth shapes at my computer. Only I'm actually talking to at least a dozen people.

It was a relief the first time someone responded to what I'd said - very 'oh, the void is listening'.

I was asked to participate, but sadly the podcast is at an awful time for me. It seemed like it could be a fun experience, but not to the point of wanting to wake up at 8am on my day off. :p
