Holy cow! One of my favorites! I'll have to podbook this one, if you'd like.

I know! I was so so excited when I saw her post it in another comm. I listened all day at work today. *g*

[cybel]

If I get the okay, I'll have the podbook out in no time.

I haven't been able to start listening yet, but I'm so looking forward to it!

I usually ignore mp3 posts because they are a PITA on my ipod.

HOWEVER. This is one of my favorite stories in all of fandom so THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for making it into podfic *SMISH*

Me again. Just thought I'd check back and see if you'd like me to compile a podbook for you. This just adds a cover, makes it automatically bookmarkable, and, for those with iTunes, moves it out of the Music folder and into a separate Audiobooks folder where it won't be seen or heard when browsing or listening to songs. It also then automatically shows up in an Audiobooks playlist on an iPod.

Let me know, and I'll get right on it if you want. :)

Yeah sounds good! Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, I'm at Eyecon in Orlando and it's all crazy crazy! But one pro of being at Eyecon ashley is my roommate, so I asked her if it was cool, and it is, and sounds good to me! So go for it! Thanks so much!!

[cybel]

Wonderful! I'll get on it and get back to you. And I'm SO jealous about the con!!

Oh, and I'm listening to the podfic right now: it's fantastic!

Which reminds me: who should I credit for the cover graphic? I'm using the first one, the dorm room.

Posts are up here and at podslash and spn_multimedia.

Thanks!

I loved this story while I was reading it, and this re-awoke my love of this verse. Great job with all the different voices. This podfic gave me a different perspective on Jared's character in the beginning as well. As compared to when I read it, it seemed more obvious that Jared wasn't straight and didn't realize it but that it might be a little obvious to an outside perspective, like Alexis or Sandy. Are you planning to podfic any other part of the series?

Man, nearly 7 hours, what a monster! I've been working my way through this for over a week now and I don't remember ever having read it before so thanks for recording it!

[whimseywisp.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for doing this! I can't even imagine how much time it took you to put this together - I listened to all 6+ hours - it made working out so much more fun. You're pretty awesome :).

Thank you for sharing your work.

Hey, I listened to this a while back and forgot to comment, sorry.

I really enjoy your reading. I actually wanted to listen to this podfic while walking to/from uni/work for a couple of days (it being over SIX hours and all), but I liked it so much that I wound up plugging in my iPod when I was in bed (which I usually don't), effectively depriving myself of sleep so I could finish it in one day.

You do a great job of giving the characters personalities of their own and of conveying the humour and irony in the writing. I especially like the way you read some of the deadpan humour in the girls. Also, it's great how you lower your voice for the sexier scenes, e.g. around 05:18.

Sometimes, especially in the beginning, your reading is a little fast (though: respect for being able to read fast and still not stumble upon the words - I never actually didn't understand what you are saying, it was just a little faster than a regular audiobook reading) and I could hear a little white noise in the background, but I didn't even care because I liked your reading so much overall.

I already downloaded your other podbooks available via the audiofic archive and would love to see you reading more J2 in future.

Even if you don't, I want to thank you so much for taking the time and effort to read this and make it available. I'm such a sucker for a long, fun and romantic J2 story, and it's great to have such a wonderful, 6+ hours podfic to come back to whenever I feel like it.

Thanks again.

I've been listening to this at random intervals for a few weeks now, here through one of the comments at an idolmeta fic discussion post, and I just wanted to say I really, really love the way you read :D I'm having a lot of fun listening to this fic, so thank you!
