Ah, sorry for the misplaced anticipation, then. *grin* More commentary would be interesting too, though. You're completely right about Oh John Sheppard! fics; there are so many of them because it's just so *obvious*, and the ones which stick out to me are the ones where he's straight/assumed straight, or even just not spectacularly bi.
I've listened to Straight as a Circle, but I don't remember loving the podfic that much. Not for itself, if that makes sense. It was good, but by that point I'd probably read parts of the fic about seven times, so the few moments where it wasn't the intonation/meaning which I'd already placed on a scene/line were jarring. I mean to relisten to it before giving it a definite place on my queer podfic list (which is an increasingly broad, TMI list, honestly, nothing so well defined as closet fics).
And I just separated out the two sections of Lesser War, and it turns out the past sections come to less than 5000 words. So it's completely doable to find someone who is willing to do 30 minutes of fic. (Of course, I wouldn't get to record fic in the non-metaphorical closet, which would be a shame.)
