Title: High Tide
Author: fresne
Reader: luzula
Fandom: Inuit mythology, gen
Rating: PG-13
Format: mp3, 128 kbps
Length: 9 m 46 s
Author's summary: Sedna lay face up to the falling snow. She looked up with eyes that never closed. A crab scuttled across a wide eye, but she did not blink. She had lost that trick.
Reader's notes: A retelling of the story of Sedna. This is potentially confusing as a podfic, because these three things are interwoven: 1) Sedna lying on the bottom of the sea 2) Sedna telling a story and 3) little bits of poetry. I tried to differentiate between these bits, but I might not have succeeded, so I thought I should tell you in advance. Thanks to the author for letting me record it.

*Is in awe of you. Just like, in general.*

[luzula]

Well, thank you! But it's not like I did all of these today--I just didn't get around to posting during the last week. And, whew, now it's over!

[twilight-angel.livejournal.com]

Holy crap, you are awesome! Am definitely snatching several, especially the one for Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. Oh, fyi, you forgot to include the fandom for that one.

Thanks so much! :D

[luzula]

Thanks for catching that! And I hope you enjoy it. : )

[daraq.livejournal.com]

Wow! I downloaded the GK story, thank you!

[luzula]

Thanks for telling me! : )

[akamine_chan]

U = \o/!

[luzula]

Maybe? Or I could just be nuts to do this at the same time as the Big Bang...

[hlbr.livejournal.com]

First: much thanks for letting me know you recorded my story! It's very curious to hear your own words spoken by someone else. (Also, I feel like I should apologize for the awkwardness of that loooong phrase at the beginning. >_< You weathered awesomely, though!)

I heard mine and 's L&B story. With both, I really like how you do the dialogue, like at the beginning of the L&B story, and Mr. Bennet's tone. (Dialogue is like the most important thing for me, both in reading and in writing--tone and rhythm can change so much!)

[hlbr.livejournal.com]

gah, that should be 'nextian's L&B story'. I suck at lj tags, it seems.

[luzula]

Oh, cool! Dialogue is what I find most difficult, so I'm so happy to know that you thought it worked. My default way of reading is for fairly dispassionate narrative, so anything that needs extra emotion can be hard to do. But I think I'm getting better at it. That L&B story especially was so full of comedy and drama, so it was a challenge.

[athousandwinds.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for doing this again - you make my stories sound so much better when you read them, and you read them so beautifully.

[luzula]

Hey, thank you! I'm so glad you liked my readings. \o/

[ambientlight.livejournal.com]

Thanks again for doing this! I've never heard one of my stories read out before, and it's an interesting experience; thanks for giving me the chance to have it. I love the calm grace of your reading, as well as the understated but effective way in which you handle the dialogue (and how you do the bit with the syllables, too!).

[luzula]

Hey, I'm so glad you liked it, and thanks for the feedback!

Huh, I just saw the title of your LJ--are you Swedish? OTOH, your location says Singapore, hmm. Anyway, I'm Swedish.

[ambientlight.livejournal.com]

I was pretty thrilled by it. :)

And no, I'm Singaporean (in the UK for university, as it happens), but I have an unfortunate love for Kent - hence the lyric-quoting. I have a limited knowledge of Swedish grammar and a tiny vocabulary, mainly derived from Kent songs and my few visits to Sweden. ^_^;;

[luzula]

Hee, okay. I have barely heard Kent at all, though I know of them. It's always strange when someone from the other side of the world is into something from your country. Although I totally do that, too--I always have to restrain myself from asking Canadians weird due South-related questions. *g*

Thank you!

[tieleen.livejournal.com]

So many interesting things here - thank you!

[luzula]

Hey, thanks for commenting! I hope you enjoy the podfics.

[somnolentblue]

I was so happy when Ca'rina told me about the Anne of Green Gables podfics! I really enjoyed listening to Five Things Anne Never Imagined and Wishes Are No Horses - thanks for creating them and sharing!

[luzula]

Oh, I'm so glad my Anne of Green Gables podfics are getting some love. Thank you! ♥

I've got two podfics for the Emily series, too, if you're interested in those.
