Excellent! :-)

I'll put together the 'book.

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

Yay, thanks!

[cybel]

No, thank you!

I'll get on it right now.

Oh, does general_jinjur get cover artist credit on this one?

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

:DD

Nope, I slapped this one together myself! \o/

[cybel]

Ooh, you're good!

[cybel]

Posted!

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

Awesome, thank you! :D

[cybel]

Totally my pleasure!

[daneffew.livejournal.com]

I hate to tell you this but part 2 totally messed up. There is no sound.
I downloaded both the mp3 and the mb4 version and there is nothing there for the after 8 secs to 15:15 minutes.

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

Hahaha OH MY GOD, WHAT? *opens up file*

Holy shit! I don't understand how this happened. Maybe something went wrong when it converted to mp3? I will get right on this, thank you so much! *is baffled*

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

Aaaaaah, I just found out there is a HUGE problem with part 2, no sound for about 15 minutes (!!!). I will get you a fixed file as soon as humanly possible. *pulls out hair*

[cybel]

Well, pooh. I'll fix as soon as the new file is up.

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

It's up now, via the mediafire link, in the Sailor's Delight folder (at least I am organized?). *wipes brow* THAT WAS HORRIFYING. Sorry for the trouble! D:

[cybel]

No problem.

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

I've re-uploaded part 2 to mediafire (now with sound!), and cybel is going to re-book it (bless her soul). Thanks again, so much! Virtual cookies for you! :)

[daneffew.livejournal.com]

No problem. I was just listening this morning was like no no no I have to listen. So I read the missing part and and went back to the listening.

Thanks

[cybel]

New 'book up. :-)

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

Yay, thank you!

zomg i listened to the first 20 minutes this morning (whilst becoming late for work) and it is AWESOME.

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

OMG YAY! You don't even understand how happy that makes me. Okay, well, maybe you do, lol. <333333333

That was outstanding!

The fic was wonderful -- as you know, since I bet you devoted at least 100 hours to making this excellent recording. You walked just the right side of the thin wall between narration and acting. You acted enough so I never was in doubt who was speaking; you narrated enough so general_jinjur's words were foremost.

And I got a week's worth of night time stories and a pot of borscht out of it.

Now I have another search criterion for grazing the archive: reading by aphelant!

(sorry, I'm a little behind on replying to comments /o\)

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! This is one of my favourite fics of all time and I'm glad to spread the love. :)

Listened to this a couple days ago. Your story-choosing ability is just amazing. Like, you always pick stories that are not only really strong stories, but also unique and interesting. So I would have loved this one for story choice alone. But then, of course, your narration from Dawn-POV was perfect, and the way you handled all the emotions of the story, just totally absorbing, as always, as always.

And then I listened to The Secret Life of Scientists today, which was once again a totally unique story and once again, your voice as this way of melting into the story and *becoming* it, so that I really can't imagine it any other way. Which is why I continue to slowly but surely work my way through all your recordings; you're very reliable as a reader in that way.

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, this comment is a two-in-one! ♥ ♥

I think Sailor's Delight is my favourite podfic, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I am pretty sure this is my first feedback for The Secret Life of Scientists. Yay, someone listened to it! *\o/*

Seriously, I'm so glad you're enjoying my podfics! :D!! N'awww, I'm a reliable reader? *squishes you* ♥

Liked your read very much, your voice is lovely to listen to and the way you move the story forward was compelling...plus it's a great story. I liked the emotional shading you used, I thought it was very effective. The different voices you used were great, I could completely hear the little "Buffy-isms" and "Rodney-isms" for lack of better terms.

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! <3

[davincis-girl.livejournal.com]

Thank you for bringing this story to podfic. I love the way you read these characters.

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

It was my pleasure! <3
