Summary: He’s heard these stories before, from survivors, about a place of milk and honey just beyond the next line of hills. But he’s been over those hills, and then the next range, and another span of mountains after that, and nothing but death, destruction, disease, and despair has been waiting for him in the valleys beyond the promising line on the horizon.

I see you, you podficcing maniac, you.

Despite sylvanwitch being a close friend and a great writer, she's so prolific that there's still a lot of her older stuff I've never had time to read (I think she must have posted this about a month before I met her), so I really appreciate this. I'm a little scared that it's gonna be too dark and depressing for me, but I'm gonna give this a go.

Thanks! (And come around some time...I miss ya. :)

Okay, so I had a long drive today and I listened. It's totally and completely not your fault that I was depressed all afternoon. I'll chew on sylvanwitch's ass for that one, believe me.

Of course I've said before how much I enjoy your style, voice and (very slight) accent. But after having done a fair number of podfics, I wanted to say that I really admire how you're able to keep that slow steady pace. I find myself going too fast a lot of the time, or sometimes realizing that, and then going slow and then speeding up again...well, you get the picture. It was particularly hard on that long RPS one that I did, because I wasn't able to do it all in one setting, but had to work on it over the course of several months. Then my microphone died around the time I was finishing up and I liked the new one better, so I wound up reading almost the entire thing twice. About 96,000 words. Yeah.

Anyway, I thought you did really awesome on this one. Except I somehow missed a few of your posts from a couple of weeks back and didn't know weren't doing so awesome, that you'd hurt your foot. It's amazing how much harder every little thing is when you've got a physical issue, isn't it? Hope that gets back in order soon. *smish*

Hey, just wanted to stop by and say that this podfic of yours was quite exceptional storytelling. And, I don't usually like apocalypse fic - at all - but I liked this a lot, mostly because of the lively yet also sort of pleasantly hypnotic way you read it. You never step on the humor, but you never overplay it either. I was kind of blown away by the ending...had to sit there on my morning bus commute and think it through a bit. Thank you for recording this and bringing this fic to me, I likely never would have read it otherwise...

Wow, your comment blew me away! Seriously, thank you for your kind words. Not many people comment to podfic readers and it is very nice to hear when listeners feel you've done justice to the work. Of course, kudos to sylvanwitch for the wonderful writing. I'm glad the podfic introduced you to something a little out of your comfort zone and that you enjoyed it.
