"Women of the Sentinel Fandom Podfic" - podfic by Laurie laurie_ky.

Fandom(s): The Sentinel
Character(s)/Pairing(s):Naomi Sandburg, Alex Barnes, Grace Ellison, Blair Sandburg, Jim Ellison. Mention of Jim Ellison/Blair Sandburg.
Content Notes/Warnings:Rape scene in Something Told the Wild Goose. Themes: sentinel/guide bonding, mother and child relationships, family expectations, choices, hippie life.
Summary: Four podfics that show what may have happened in the lives of three women characters: Naomi Sandburg, Alex Barnes, and Grace Ellison.

Acknowledgements:
I thought that this challenge, to focus on the women in fandom, was an interesting idea, so I took a look at the Sentinel fandom and chose four stories to podfic.
Maternal Instinct by Autumn Skies
Oil and Water by Jane Davitt
Always and Forever by Rent Girl 2
Something Told the Wild Geese by Blue Wolf (rape scene)

I also did a fan-mix of songs based on these four stories, and it can be downloaded from Megaupload.

There is a wonderful meta essay by magician113 where she not only discusses the role Naomi, Grace and Alex played in the show, but takes a look at most of the other women characters, and how the show treated them. She did this as a complement to my podfics, and I'm very happy she did so.

Links to discussions, podfics, podbooks, texts, fan-mix and the meta essay are here at my lj. I also posted to Dreamwidth.

So I just went back and looked at the posting templates post and realized that I neglected to include a podfic template, which was very remiss of me. (It's weird, I remember coding one, but I guess I got lost somewhere in the copy&pasting). I'm very sorry about that, and would appreciate if you could code this post according to the now-added template here.

You want me to do this four times? Because I did four podfics. And am I supposed to put the download links here or just link back to my own LJ/DW?

Oh, no -- you can just link to your master post like you did. The character(s)/pairing(s), content notes/warning and summary are for the project overall, rather than individual fics -- sorry if that was confusing.
