ooooh, I can't really remember this fic, but I remember that I liked it :)
Downloading!
Thanks!

It's a fun one! Enjoy!

Hey, I get 5:12:18 when I combine all the 6 parts in the podbook, which doesn't correspond to what you get for the time. I re-downloaded, but I still got the same total time.

Could you check your files and see what's going on?

[chemm80]

I'm sure your total is correct, hon. I was just adding up the time for the separate files and that never seems to be a very precise process for me. Sorry about that. I don't think it changes the point value, does it? Thanks for doing the book and archiving, as always. :)

[cybel]

Great! I can't speak to the points issue for the same reason I could never manually add up time: OMG numbers! Run away!!

Luckily, my audiobooking program gives me the exact time with no fuss and muss (as does iTunes after compiling, of course). However, I've become leery of discrepancies with what the reader posts as the correct time since it sometimes means there's been a corrupt upload or download.


Nevertheless, I went ahead and uploaded the files in hopes they were okay, so I'll have urls for you soon. :-)

I got an error with part 1 *goes to try the download again*.

*sigh*

[chemm80]

Huh. I just heard from one of the authors who'd downloaded and listened and she didn't mention a problem. Hope things work okay for you on second try. Would you mind letting me know if there's a persistent problem? I'll do my best to fix any issues. :)

I think it may have been a problem my end. I downloaded the winzip version on the second try and it seems to be fine, although I haven't checked the whole thing yet.

Enjoy!

This is a favorite story of mine and now I can listen to it too! I haven't commented before, but I am trying to overcome what I call shyness and my kids call lame. I listen to everything you read. Perfect every time. I think I have at least 4 stories you have read permanantly on my player. You have a great singing voice too. Thank you so much for taking the time to do these. Amazing job.

It's difficult to take the time and find the words to comment on podfic, I know. Even for a promiscuous commenter like me, it can be hard to think of something new to say beyond "nice job" or "enjoyed this", but as an author of fanfiction as well as a reader, believe me, every comment, even something that generic is greatly appreciated. So good for you--for emerging from the shadows of lurkerdom!

Thank you so much for your kind words, especially about the singing. That's always a risk, lol. Happy future listening!

This was great, thanks for recording it:)

[chemm80]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed!

So, I just finished listening to this amazing podfic, earlier this afternoon. I'd been listening to it, on and off, over the last four or five days, and to finally reach the end of this - well, Jared's 'happy dance' is probably equivalent to the expression on my face when I finally reached the end of your recording.

I've gotta say, you're always consistent in producing awesome stuff, but this? Pretty much blew me away. The little 'ding' when Chris and Autumn are IM-ing, and the overlaid music when the boys were playing at the charity dinner, and the hotness of Jared and Jensen finally getting it on, and all your singing - seriously, if reading porn aloud is nerve-wracking, I can only imagine that singing on a podfic must be even more so! You did a truly beautiful job with this.

Personal aside: I've associated the song "Walk The Line" with Stargate: Atlantis, ever since I saw John Sheppard's Johnny Cash poster in season one. I think you might have managed to change my fic-song affiliations, with this podfic!

[chemm80]

This comment blows me away, for sure! Especially coming from a veteran podficcer like yourself, it means so much. Thank you for going into so much detail about what worked--as I'm sure you know, feedback like that is so helpful.

I think singing on a podfic is risky, even if it sometimes seems like the only way to get the point across, so I'm super thrilled that you thought that worked. And you wouldn't believe how hard it was to find a sound effect that worked for that IM ping, so thanks for mentioning that.

So in conclusion: thank you, thank you, thank you! *happy dance*
