Wow, it's been a long time, eh? Like, years. Hope they've been as good for you as they've been for me! But yes, long time.

Luckily, I have amazing friends that lock me in podficcing closets (no, not a metaphor - an actual closet) with microphones when I come to visit them, so you can all thank brimtoast for this (no, seriously, thank her).

I highly doubt ( Read more... )

I love the improved audio quality.

YOU AND ME BOTH. I was using a friend's amazing mic, it was so lovely haha. Thank you so much for all the kind words, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! (Although man, I'm glad there was no 4-year wait while she was writing it!)

I'm am desperately excited to listen to this! This is one of my most listened to podfics ever and the fact that you are continuing has absolutely made my day!

Oh wow, glad it's something you're still interested in, that's so lovely to hear - hope you enjoy it!!

Not sure if you're still interested, but just to let you know, Part 14 is now up! I hope you've been well :)

mcollinknight July 26 2012, 20:29:03 UTC

Or maybe not... my home computer stopped working. Completely. Someday I'll be able to download the new chapter. You'd think after waiting this long I'd be a bit more patient...

mcollinknight July 27 2012, 16:05:30 UTC

Would it help if I put it on soundcloud and you wouldn't have to download it?

This is kind of amazing... I've been in a long-term separation with fandom since about three months after your previous post and a week ago I started slowly slipping back into it. I'm interested in trying my hand at recording podfic so I came back to this journal just to reacquaint myself with some of the best podfic ever (yours :]) and here you are, having posted an update three days ago. Mind blown. Downloading right meow.

In the meantime, though, do you have any advice for a wee fanling who's looking to record? Editing software, voice/accent selection for characters, etc.

I'd appreciate any help you can give and I remain a huge fan of your work! Thanks!

P.S. I'm also Canadian and I think the French Canadian accent is just tops :)

Wow, what a coincidence! That's hilarious (are you kitten me right meow?). Hope you enjoy it ( ... )

Hi! I came across mention of this new chapter on tumblr and figured I'd get it added to the archive page for the fic, which is still at:

http://www.audiofic.jinjurly.com/drop-dead-gorgeous-work-in-progress

Out of curiosity, how many chapters are there in total?

mcollinknight August 10 2012, 13:48:26 UTC

You are a GEM, seriously. Thank you for all of your hard work and for being so wonderful!

There are 14 chapters and an epilogue (so, 15). 13 is recorded and I'm in the editing process - I don't have a timeline for finishing it, since I just got another job, but I'm hoping for the 'sooner' side of the 4 years line ;)
