This is an author I've wanted to record for literally *years* but have never really felt like I had the right voice to be able to pull off her style. I like what I've done with this one though, hopefully I'll be able to tackle some more of her work soon:)

hehehehehe.

I have a special love/bafflement relationship w/ her writing in general; there is MUCH to love and admire and get affected strongly by, and yet there's always something that bothers me enough to make me think I wouldn't be able to read it without feeling twinges of ... something, I don't know how to describe it. So, anyway, enough with my navel-gazing , but I just wanted to say: even if your reasons to think you wouldn't do her stuff justice are different, I grok that you can have thought about reading her a lot yet never really managed until now. And I really happy you did manage! *downloads with glee*
The Elf story is so much fun.

I've been trying to put my finger on just exactly what it is about her writing that made me think I couldn't do it properly (and perhaps still can't! Let me know!). She has *such* a distincitive style of writing, her characters, her sex scenes, her dialogue. And you're right it is all *very* strongly affecting and I think a big part of my 'problem' was not being able to get all that in my voice, not being able to get what was in my head to make it into the recording.

For me, her work has this fast paced beat to it that I tried to go with, I made my voice a bit faster than usual, a little more deadpan. I don't know if what I did is actually noticeable to a listener but it made me feel better about the recording.

But yes! The elf story is so much fun. And it was so much fun to *record*:D

Downloading now, thanks!

I'm not familiar with the author (or with inception), but this intrigues me.

You don't have to be familiar with either of those things to enjoy this (hopefully!), it's so much fun and so sexy. I love the story and wish she'd write more in this universe:)

If it helps with your visualisation during the story, Tom Hardy is the guy in my icon.

Podbook!

It took me a while to psyche myself up to listen, because I have such an awkward feeling I can't shake ever, when it comes to my own writing. But you have an excellent voice, and it was odd (and wonderful) to HEAR this and be able to enjoy it as a story and not a mess of words I tried to put together. What a strange, yet pleasing experience! Ha!

Can I link it at the top of the fic?

From:

I think you just described the first time *I* listened to a podfic:D I'm glad it wasn't a negative experience, even if it was a weird one. And I really wasn't joking when I said that I was nervous about my ability to do your work justice. If anything jumped out at you as 'not what you intended' then let me know, just for my own curiosity if nothing else.

Of course you can link in the fic entry, that would be cool!

PS You said there was going to be another part to your Uni series, right? It's possible I may be recording that one as well, unless you have an objection:)
