Summary:
There could have been no better project to kick off these Spotlights, because Loki's Tale takes both podficcing and writing back to its roots, back to the tradition of storytelling and I found myself fascinated with this fanwork. It's appropriate that the story takes the form of an epic poem, and the rhythm of the words spoken out loud was captivating. The way Loki recounts the events of the movie through his eyes manages to reveal so much about his character and motivations.
I really enjoyed the way this fanwork used multiply-voiced characters interacting with each other to frame and set the stage for the heart of the story.
The writing was excellent, down to the creative use of kennings (such as 'silver-tongued liar'), the technical aspects of the project (sound levels and editing) were clean and well done and the cover is elegant.
Even if you aren't in the Avengers fandom, this is still an excellent fanwork to experience. Go check it out, and remember to leave feedback for the creators - they worked hard on creating this project.
Summary:
I presume some poor bard has been forced to recite Thor's account of the events of Midguard to these fine people. Perhaps, in the spirit of unbiased storytelling, they would like to hear mine.
After all, every man is the hero of his own story.
In which Loki gives his perspective on the events of the Avengers in the form of an epic poem.
