Ooooh, loved the fic when I read it first, but it was so lovely to listen to it. Your reading is lovely, and - *laughs* - I thought the accents sounded just right! XD Obviously, I wouldn't know the difference, but it did remind me of the movie. :D

Also, omg, you redid all the Michael dialogue - WOW, that's dedication. The Fuck Off-trick is hilarious, and a technique I think I'll probably try to incorporate in my own reading when I do accents in the future!! \:D/

I loved this. Thank you so much for sharing it - and also a thanks for the long making-of bit at the end, very enlightening!

I've been savouring this feedback because I really wasn't sure if anyone was going to like it, and it's put a smile on my face all day. Thank you so much, really!

Trust me, I don't know the difference either. I thought it would be fun to try my hand at Billy's accent, but having not seen it recently, and not being from britain and actually knowing exactly what northern is or what it should sound like, I was worried as heck. But in the end, I decided I couldn't not :)

you redid all the Michael dialogue - WOW, that's dedication.
Thank god he doesn't have that much dialogue! But I trusted that if knight-tracer found it inconsistent enough to comment on it, I definitely had to fix it. Better to have known it was problematic before and have the opportunity to fix it than regretting it after, I think. Beta listeners are invaluable that way!

I'm glad you enjoyed my story about the 'fuck off' technique - I hope it is as useful to you as it was to me! And it is always a pleasant surprise when anyone comments back about the freetalk being at all insightful, so hurray!
