Audio Books, John Sheppard main character

[surevesta.livejournal.com]

Hi there! I have a six or so hour drive this afternoon (I know, cutting it close with this request) and I was wondering if people could point me to some longer podfics, preferably ones that are at least two hours long. I prefer John Sheppard to be the or one of the main characters. As for pairings, Sheyla, Sheppard/Dex, Sheppard/Lorne, Sheppard/Mitchell, or McShep will work (I don't like McKeller unless it is just an afterthought). AU fics are fine, but I'd prefer fics where Atlantis exists in some capacity.

Here's the sga tag on the audiofic archive where you can browse by length and pairing. http://audiofic.jinjurly.com/category/1/1926/1974/2

Have a safe trip!

Thank you! :)

Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves by Auburn IIRC. It's McShep AU where Vala, John & Rodney are space pirates. It bounces between Sam (Rodney's ex wife) & her team, which are stranded in Pegasus, and the pirate ship.

I'm not a huge fan of SG1 but I did enjoy this story a lot. It's also over 8 hours long.

I ended up listening to the first part of this one! I got me through the six hour trip and I'll finish it if I can on the way home :)

Theoretically you can browse the podfic archive by multiple terms, http://audiofic.jinjurly.com/taxonomy_browser , but I haven't been able to get it to work lately.

But I do have a podfic playlist for 2+ hours.

Listened to and liked (* for absolute favorites):

I haven't listened to these yet but I like the story, the reader, or both.

And some I missed because they were multi-part and thus in a different playlist:

Oh wow, thank you for these lists!!!

[susan-voight.livejournal.com]

(Sorry--Sheppard is not a main character in "Three Hundred and Sixty-Four," that's McKay/Dex.)

[kho.livejournal.com]

You know, I downloaded this one accidentally a while back and listened to it not realizing it was going to be McKay/Dex. I'm very very glad I didn't, because it gives INCREDIBLY good Ronon, and I might would have missed it had I realized it was McKay/Dex as I've never once been interested in that pairing.

[susan-voight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I really love the story, such a delicate sweet build of the relationship, but I didn't want to mislead the OP.

Thank you! :)

Too late for this trip I suspect, but I'm surprised no one's mentioned what I've seen mentioned as an outstanding podfic (of a classic SGA fic):
Written by the Victors (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/Victors.html), by cesperanza, audiobook produced (http://www.kekkai.org/lim/notes/wbtv.html) by (http://lim.dreamwidth.org/profile)lim (http://lim.dreamwidth.org/). Available in a variety of formats here (http://community.livejournal.com/sgapodfic/48395.html); full running time 5:27:41.
(McShep and other pairings, Atlantis secedes)

(There's a lot more podfic of cesperanza's stories, some longer than two hours, listed here (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/podfic.html). And berlinghoff79 has a set of recs for (shorter) McShep podfics (http://community.livejournal.com/sgversetop5/5918.html) up at sgversetop5.)

I'm saving these for the next trips! :) Thanks!

Hardcore hardcore second to Victors. I too was shocked the previous people hadn't rec'd it right off the bat.

Thank you for the links and suggestions everyone! I ended up listening to the first part of Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves by Auburn, but I have a good library of them to keep me going through other upcoming trips! *hugs*
