I'm about 3/4s of the way through this and enjoying it tremendously. Along with being a wonderful story, it's a great reading by all seven of you, with a unique touch from each reader but remarkable compatibility in pacing and mixing. Bravo!

Oh, i'm so happy you're enjoying it. I think everyone really made the characters their own, and I tried to match sound levels, though it's fascinating how much background sounds etc differ, even from readers that all sound great. I'd hoped that the musical intersections would help make those breaks, so it wasn't too obvious. (I.e., I never realized how loud my background sounds and how high my volume is :) The story all but read itself, and it really was perfect for a collaboration--the chapters are long enough to get used to the readers but not too long that one voice is overpowering everyone else...or so I felt.

Thanks so much for commenting!!!
