I don't feel up to archiving or posting, but perhaps you might add these links to your post when you get a chance?

[luzula]

Have done! Thanks. : )

[crinklysolution]

Very much looking forward to listening to both of these, especially "Death-defying"!

[adistantsun]

Sendspace is saying both files have been deleted (possibly TOS'd?) :(

I absolutely adore your readings, any chance you could re-upload them?

[luzula]

WTF? Yeah, they were TOS'ed, either because they contain copyrighted material or because they contain adult content. Okay, that's it, I'm going to look around for another host now... *ponders which one to switch to*

Anyway, thank you! Here are re-uploads, let's hope they don't get deleted as well.

Mediafire's been working Ok for me so far.
When I first clicked on those sendspace files I got a fake virus warning wanting to download a zip file. I deleted it before it did anything to my computer, but...weird! Then the next time I clicked (because incurably nosy) I got the deletion notice. Hmmm.

[erica_schall]

Hi there,
I too have noticed that your files have been deleted. Perhaps you can reupload them but give them a different name?

[luzula]

Here are re-uploads, let's hope they don't get deleted as well. I'm going to switch to another host soon...

Also, I wasn't quite sure about the pairings included in 'intemperance' and left it at mary marston/john watson right now. Please let me know if there are any more.

[luzula]

Thanks! No, I wouldn't say there are any other pairings.

[crinklysolution]

Absolutely loved this version of Death-Defying, thought you captured the emotion and humor perfectly, glad you decided to record it!

[luzula]

Oh, thanks! That fic just flowed--it was really a pleasure to read it.

[crinklysolution]

Hi Luz! I just wanted you to know that normally I avoid this type of story (gender-swap, pregnancy) like the plague, but since basingstoke is one of my favorite writers and you are one of my favorite readers, I could not resist and you did an excellent job on delivering the humor and special sort of delivery that Sherlock and Irene require...in summary - superb work, you! I listened to it on my long drive through Canada and loved it.

Re: Intemperance

[luzula]

Oh, cool! So glad to hear that you enjoyed it--the dialogue especially was a lot of fun to read.

[keerawa]

I just realized that I never left feedback for Death-Defying. /o\ Time to fix that.

First, I wanted to say how impressed I was by the professional sound quality, especially over such a lengthy piece. I ended up listening to the pod-fic over several days commuting to work, and was so compelled that I ended up walking right past my school, and didn't notice until 3 blocks later. Your reading was emotional, while still remaining clear. There were two scenes in particular that really, deeply moved me. The first was Ray's reactions after Denny died, after Fraser had left the room. The other was the conversation between Ben and Ray on the stairway of the abandoned house. You made me FEEL for Ray in both of those scenes, in a way I hadn't since I first wrote it.

Thanks so much for performing the story!

[luzula]

Oh hey, thanks for the feedback!

I ended up walking right past my school, and didn't notice until 3 blocks later

Ha, that is awesome. *g*

Yeah, I have a lot of feelings for this story, and I'm glad that came through. That conversation on the stairs--I love it so much. And thank you for your blanket transformation policy!

Thank you for reading this story, you did a great job!

Re: death-defying

[luzula]

Hey, thanks for coming back to tell me so!

Late but enthusiastic : Intemperance

[jesse_the_k]

I've just finished my first listen, and I know there will be many more.

Your narration is particularly excellent here: you perfectly capture the ironic distance required for such an engrossing & mysterious story.

It's also technically shiny. My previous listen was NPR and you needed no adjustments to volume or EQ.

I'm locking this file to prevent accidental deletion, since I anticipate rereading in my dotage.

Re: Late but enthusiastic : Intemperance

[luzula]

Oh, thank you! ♥ What a lovely self-esteem boost--I asked someone I don't know to beta that fic I wrote, and I am convinced they think it sucks, and that is why they haven't replied yet. You know, that valley of suckitude after the hill of elation that comes with writing something. Ah well, we will see.

Anyway, maybe I should re-listen to some of my own podfic--enough time as has passed that I will have forgotten it, and maybe it'll inspire me to record something again.

Re: Late but enthusiastic : Intemperance

[jesse_the_k]

Glad to drop some truth in your life.

That valley of suckitude was more likely a tsunami of Stuff, then they got busy, and then they were too embarrassed to say they'd forgotten to listen and therefore had nothing to contribute.

Your podfic oeuvre is so impressive.

I bet you have a thousand candidates. You'd do a great job with Basingstoke's BBC bookend to Intemperate,
Indecorous: http://archiveofourown.org/works/204010


B's summary: In which John learns to balance a kinky girlfriend, an asexual boyfriend, a ten-inch cock, his sister, the neighbours, his friends, and his blog. Some are more balanced than others.

Re: Late but enthusiastic : Intemperance

[luzula]

Ha ha, it's only been a little more than ONE DAY since I sent them the fic to beta-read, so I really have no actual reason to worry yet.

Indecorous is in my to-read folder, but I never got around to it. I'm not that likely to record fic set in modern-day Britain--there's something about modern British accents that are hard for me. Not that I actually do old-fashioned British accents either, but I still feel that style is much easier.

Re: Late but enthusiastic : Intemperance

[jesse_the_k]

Ha. One day definitely doesn't fit my scenario

I didn't hear British accents so much as appropriate variation in the prosody so as to create distinctive audio characters. Which is why you are, without doubt, such a talented pofficcer.
