Read LotR Aloud is still there!

[ysilme]

Hi everybody,

first, please excuse the long, long silence on our part. Today,we mainly want to let you all know that Read Lord of the Rings Alound still lives, and will continue to do so! This is such an exceptional project and community, and none of us wants to let it die, despite the occasional shorter or longer *coughs* hiatus the community has

Oh dear, I didn't know about tindeck! I haven't uploaded anything for a while, and all the files still work. I'm going to also backup the readings on tindeck (I have most of them already). But I hope whoever buys it will keep it up as it is, and that somebody buys it in the first place! I paid for us for a life-long account, although that might not continue after a sale, too, of course. *sigh* Perhaps we need to find another site, but I'll put that back until we've got a full backup, and are up and running again. The problem is that we can't use just any music/podfic hosting site since we're not doing podfic and are legally in an grey area d as we're recording a book not yet in the public domain without explicit permission.

Those readings of yours where the links no longer work might be stored on box.com. If you had uploaded them on tindeck, too, I hadn't noticed; I'll check tomorrow from my desktop.
I'm currently making backups of all files (until now except of those on tinder, but I'll do them now, too) to my PC and will make sure they're kept in more than one place so nothing gets lost.
Are you sure "The Road to Isengart" wasn't on box.com, like the reading for the Hobbit Day 2013?
Here are the links for both posts, perhaps that helps:

You have the same thing there I have on one of my reading entries, and I've never used voice post as it's unavailable for me, but only box.com before I switched to tindeck; therefore I assumed you were using box.com also there.

Son of a gun. I did have two readings on box.com. I didn't even remember using it. It must have been before I used Tindeck and Mediafire, and right after LJ Voice Post. Book III, Ch. 8 - The Road To Esengard was there, so the only one I can't find is the Hobbit Day 2013 recording. It would help if I knew what passage I recorded.

Do you want me to upload them to the Tindeck account, and just hold onto them?

Thank you so much already, but I'm sorry I can't help you more on finding that passage again! I'll keep that in mind for the future special readings, that we ask all readers to note what they're reading so it could be found again.
Yes, it would be great if you'd uploaded the "Road to Isengart" reading to tindeck.
