My sincere thanks to tadorna for permission to record this story, based on my all-time favorite fairy tale. This is the longest podfic I've recorded so far, and the first one to include dialogue, so it's somewhat reassuring to know that it's been podficced before and this needn't be definitive--you can find luzula's recording of the story on the archive.

Points: 5 (reader) + 5 (fandom) + 5 (pairing) + 5 (length) = 20

Oh, cool, I've been repodded! \o/ Looking forward to hearing your version. : )

Yay, I hope you like it! I didn't want to copy you but it was useful to have your version on hand--like, at times when I didn't like the way I sounded reading something but had it stuck in my head that way, it was good to hear it read differently. And, of course, yours is a lovely recording in its own right.
