The podfic for Speranza's SGA story Written by the Victors, a 55,000-word John/Rodney fandom classic, must be one of the most ambitious collaborative fan productions ever.

36 speakers from several countries read parts of the script (archived version), which was then collected, produced and edited into a remarkably seamless whole by Lim. The resulting podfic is almost five and a half hours long (5:27:41 to be exact!).

The multitude of readers portray the many conflicting narrators in the story, and also literalize the reading that the story's quibbling historians reflect fandom. Zoetrope gives voice to the story's main narration.

The cover is from lim's fake Amazon.co.uk page for the story.
