Notes: Recorded for the due South and Canadian Six Degrees Big Bang. I really enjoyed recording this! It was interesting to read such a low-key, quiet sort of character voice, or at least that's the way I interpreted Dan in this story.Thanks to Nos for letting me record it! ♥

Oh, I'm so happy that you recorded this story! It's such a lovely one, and I'm sure you've read it beautifuly - looking forward to hearing it, tremendously...!

Dan was a different kind of a character than I usually read, I think, and I love that kind of variation in recording--sometimes you feel like you get stuck in a rut reading the same characters all the time, and it's good to record someone new. I hope you enjoy it! : )

Luzula! This was one of the most perfectly wonderful podfic I've ever heard, and I'm not exaggerating. I was thinking as I was listening to it that the feeling I got from it was similar to that you get from sitting home alone listenng to a gentle rain falling on the roof - peaceful. I loved this story when I read it, but I enjoyed it even more as a podfic read by you. I think your pacing was ideal, and that you hit all the emotional notes just right. The bit where they go clamming and then Duck gets the clams to open up in seawater has stuck with me. Thank you so much for recording this! I will surely listen to it again.

Eeeeee, thank you! I'm so glad it had the effect I was going for. *hugs comment to chest*

It really felt like the text inspired a definite atmosphere to me. I didn't try out different ways of reading--it was just obvious to me how I should read it.
