Would it be possible to get the .m4b file mirrored elsewhere? I've been trying to DL it since you posted, and while MF will DL the .mp3, with the .m4b it keeps reporting a "Error Code -19".

Very sorry about that, I was not aware of the problem. I'll attempt to fix it now, but I've got to go to work soon, so it might be tonight before I'm able to repair it. Thanks so much for letting me know!

[crinklysolution.livejournal.com]

OK, it should all be fixed now. Sorry for your trouble.

[torra.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I can't wait to listen to your recording of this!

I,also , am having problems. Both the mp3 and the m4b files come across to me as corrupted files. I don't know why, but the m4b also is stating it is not able to be downloaded by the site about every other attempt- the site says error 19, if that means any thing to you. Thank you for working on this- I am looking forward to this performance.

[crinklysolution.livejournal.com]

Ugh, terribly sorry! Working on it now.

The mp3 is up (http://audiofic.jinjurly.com/that-thing-you-like) at the archive, let me know when the podbook is fixed and I'll upload that as well:)

[crinklysolution.livejournal.com]

So you were able to download it no problem? I tried to fix it this morning, but I couldn't download it when I tested it, but not sure if it is my wifi connection here...

[crinklysolution.livejournal.com]

Also, thank you! That was a lightning fast archive! I was wondering who I should send it to to archive, and I will most definitely let you know when I have fixed the audiobook. You're awesome, dodificus!

[dodificus.livejournal.com]

Sherlock Holmes and all his incarnations are my archiving responsibility:) But everything you post in amplificathon will eventually be archived by one of jinjurly's little archivists (we are legion!):D

[crinklysolution.livejournal.com]

OK, loaded a fixed link to the m4b file now, you can archive it whenever's convenient...

[dodificus.livejournal.com]

Audiobook is archived (http://audiofic.jinjurly.com/that-thing-you-like-audiobook)!

[daraq.livejournal.com]

Yay, more Sherlock! Thank you!

[revolutionaryjo.livejournal.com]

How did I miss this when you posted it! Downloading now and anxious to listen. :)

[crinklysolution.livejournal.com]

Hey revolutionaryjo, don't mind telling you that you are one of my favorite podficcers, so I'd be so happy if you could tell me what you thought of this. It's my first Sherlock BBC podfic, just recently managed to watch all the episodes, but I'm very fond of this show - liked your podfic of Homemaking, by the way!

[revolutionaryjo.livejournal.com]

Aww, you are lovely for saying so! Thank you! I will definitely be back to let you know what I think as soon as I can get to it. The more Sherlock podfic in the world the better! :D

[revolutionaryjo.livejournal.com]

I loved it! You have such wonderfully clear intonation to your voice, which I'm jealous of. I'd actually forgotten this was an "awkward Christmas with the Holmes family" story before I started in. I adore that theme, so I'm terribly happy you've put it in podfic form. :D

[crinklysolution.livejournal.com]

So glad you liked it! You're the first person to provide feedback, which I have to admit, I love feedback...thanks. I've been reading a lot of good Sherlock fics lately, maybe one of them will stick with me enough that I'm moved to make it into a podfic - and I am SO excited to learn (from the author) that out_there's "The Whore of Babylon Was a Perfectly Nice Girl" is going to be part of the amplificathon 2010 podbang, because that story is tops, just brilliant in a multitude of ways...

[cybel]

Just downloading now. Thanks!

[crinklysolution.livejournal.com]

Hope you like it, cybel! It's some anti-Christmas Sherlock....seemed topical.

[elemgi.livejournal.com]

This was a fun fic! You have got a really nice voice for performance, and I really enjoyed it. The uncertainty on all sides shone through very well, and the timing of the banter was terrific.

[crinklysolution.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. This was fun to record, makes me think that with additional practice, I could improve how I voice these characters (this was my first Sherlock podfic.) So I'll keep looking for more Sherlock writing that I'd like to make into podfic. Thanks for your comment, made my day.

Hey, just wanted to tell you that I love your reading. It's very clear and easy to listen to, and your pacing works really well for me.

[crinklysolution.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! It really means a lot to me when people take the time to comment, and since I have enjoyed your podfic so much myself over time, it's even better. I'm glad you like the pacing and feel my reading is pleasant. I strive for that, but sometimes when you listen to your own recordings, particularly multiple times, it's hard to tell whether you've got the pacing correctly or not....so an outside opinion is valuable.

[luzula]

I've been thinking about pacing lately, and I've realized that to say you read slowly/quickly can actually mean two different things. You can refer to the speed of the reading within sentences, or to the pauses you make between sentences. I used to read the sentences themselves fairly slowly, because as a beginner I was constantly seeing people say "you should always read more slowly than you think". But now I've realized that what actually matters for me, comprehension-wise, is to have enough of a pause between sentences. If I have that, the sentences themselves can be read pretty quickly. And I've speeded up my own reading accordingly.

since I have enjoyed your podfic so much myself over time

Thank you, I'm glad to hear that!

[crinklysolution.livejournal.com]

You make an excellent point. I think one of the most interesting things to do with podfic is to see how you can give words more weight by adding more space (but actually time) after it, before what comes next. Too much and you start to wonder if something's wrong, too little and you don't have enough time to understand the words and the meaning of the sentence gets stomped on. And it's easy for me when I edit a section a lot to neglect to add enough pauses after sentences - and the effect when I listen to it is that I start to feel breathless, like there's not enough air. So I'm glad you think that the pacing is good, because I grew up on the East Coast, so I tend to speak quickly, but I don't want to lose the listener by just blasting through. I've started adding pauses between sentences as part of my final editing, which makes the final product feel more relaxed....

Awesome as usual! I love the way you read grumbling Sherlock, especially his "nosy old bat" :))

[crinklysolution.livejournal.com]

Why thanks! Glad to know I hit the mark on that. Thanks for taking the time to comment, it is much appreciated...
