Audiobook - 'What We Pretend We Can't See' by Gyzym

[pandarus]

Title: What We Pretend We Can't See [PODFIC]
Author: Gyzym
Reader: FayJay
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: NC17 (eventually. But mostly not.)
Length: 12 hours & 45 mins
Warnings: n/a
Relationships: Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy
Characters: Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson, Assorted Others.

Summary:
Harry/Draco, set seven years post-Battle Of Hogwarts. Chromatic characters. This is comforting and nostalgia-inducing as a warm blankie and a mug of hot chocolate with a slug of brandy on a cold winter's night, but it's also blessedly diverse - I have utterly embraced black!Hermione, biracial!Harry and Asian!Pansy as canon now. NC17 eventually, but mostly good old fashioned mutual pining, plotty goodness, found family and worldbuilding. Love it.

Massive thanks to the lovely Cybel for turning my jigsaw puzzle pieces into a podbook, and creating the art, and hosting.

OMG YOU'RE BACK!

*clings*

almost 13h of podfic, I want to cry ;_;

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

PS: Any chance of an mp3 version? *bats eyelashes*

::Waves:: hi! Am dipping my toes back into podficcing. With, um, a characteristically small podfic. ;)

(It's a LOVELY story!)

(Mp3? Um...if you have gmail I could give you access to the 4 mp3 files Cybel assembled into the podbook? It's a bit rough & ready, but might work?)

Ha, I just checked and it turns out my app should be able to play m4b. I'll try it and if it ends up not working, I'll get back to you. Thanks for the offer to email the files <3

Characteristically small, indeed XD I hope you'll have time/opportunity to record more. I know a bunch of people who'll be thrilled to see you recording again. Especially should you decide to have a go at Merlin fics again xD

Filefactory download problem

Hi - I'd love to download the podfic, but Filefactory locks up my computer with fake virus warnings when I use Firefox. Using Safari results in the file failing to finish downloading at all - it just sits there with the last few minutes missing. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or is there any chance of an upload on an alternate site? Any and all assistance/suggestions gratefully received!
Cheers,
Sophie :)

Yay, FayJay! I have missed your podfics. I can't wait to listen to this. Thank you so much for your efforts.

Your reading of this story is wonderful. I enjoyed all the voices so much--including smaller characters like Neville, who all felt so distinct and vivid--and Draco just came to life here, all his irony and hurt and panic and sincerity. You've also got a really masterful deployment of pauses, to give the important conversations the weight they deserve.

It seems as if this file cuts off before the end of the story? The version I have downloaded from Google Drive ends right at "yell at Blaise one last time," and the text has more beyond that. Is there a piece missing?

I don't even read in this fandom but needed some comfort fic in these troubled times and am finding this story delightful. Thank you for recording it so I can enjoy it on my morning walks over the next several days!

Hello!

I've just finished reading this fic, and am delighted to hear that you've made an audio version! It would be absolutely wonderful to download a copy of it, but unfortunately the FileFactory file just won't download successfully on my computer - and I've tried numerous times :( Do you have any ideas for how I could access the file? It would be so great to be able to!

Also, thanks so much for taking the time to make this! It really is a wonderful story, isn't it? ^_^
