Read along at home! (Recorded SN Fic)

[out_there]

So, I did it. I recorded myself reading one From The Ends Of The World, A Postcard. (With only three mistakes/deviations! That's not bad.)

At the moment, it's available here through YouSendIt (6 minutes of audio, 2.84MB, WMA format).

If that link doesn't work, it's also hosted here (because Celli rocks).

You sound really good!

Thanks. *g*

I used work's digital recorder, which was a lot more sensitive than I'd expected. If you listen carefully, you can hear the trams going by in the background.

Heh. Adds a whole new extra dimension.

I don't have any means of recording - at least, not that I know of - so the world will be spared my rendition of Dan and Casey in a girlie, middle-class English accent. Which is a bit of a shame, really.

It really is. The whole "hearing the fic in someone else's accent" is ridiculously cool.

This was incredibly cool. First, to have the picture of the 'postcard'; as a postcard it would be truly weird.. Second, to read the awesome story...ah, the shoebox of love. Then, third, to hear it in your cute accent. (I hope that doesn't sound condescending, I just mean that it's cute.)

At SHarecon, (a Starsky & Hutch slash con that a friend of mine runs every other year) we have Bedtime Stories on Friday night. We all gather in the con suite in our pjs and read each other slash. It's a way to get everyone to know each other and introduces people to some fic they maybe have never heard of before. And it's great to lay on the bed (or the floor or the couch) and close your eyes and just imagine the...um, action...as someone reads it to you.

Hee! Shoebox of love. That really is a great description of it. (And, heh, I hadn't thought of it until now but it's a whole visual/audible package of a fic.)

Not at all condescending. I was the same when Celli posted her read-aloud fic ("Eeee! Adorable american accent! So cute!").

That would be utterly cool. Completely and utterly cool

loved it and am really loving the podcast idea (i thought about doing it six months ago and didn't so i'm glad people are and now maybe i might if i can find a fic of mine to read)

[out-there.livejournal.com]

There's actually a podcasting comm for slashfic (um, somewhere *waves vaguely* ... *does a bit of quick searching* ... podslash and, man, you'd think I'd remember that name.) which is beyond cool.

I'm thinking of recording another fic at lunch today (since I'm using Work's digital recorder). Now I just need to figure out what.

[scribewraith.livejournal.com]

yeah i friended it when you mentioned it the first time. Very cool on the doing another one. I have to work out what tech i need to do it. It's such a technophillic thing to do and then you can walk around with your minidisc or ipod or what ever and listen.
