On podfic

Specifically, the podfic I was after in a previous post is fanfiction read out (rather than audio books per se, although I'm going to get round to that too), whether by the author or else by My Friends. Which I think is a smashing idea. The ever-wise [livejournal.com profile] toft_froggy sent me to this site, but I see none of my fandoms *mourns* Shall I do some? What shall I do?

Thinking about it, I think I'd really love to hear Flowers of the Forest read aloud, but I know that might be hard for you to do. Perhaps sometime when the time is right and you're in the right mood. Or perhaps Mr A could do the honours. It's just that I think the language is beautiful and it really flows.

Right, I'll put that on the list, although I might get a bit emotional. I'll get there somehow!

... hmmm. I'm not a bad actress. I might consider volunteering for stuff which Deserves To Be Heard, you know :)

The more the merrier! (And it's my friends' voices I really want.) This is the Tolkien fanfic referred to; fwiw, I wrote it after seeing the pictures from Abu Ghraib.

Whoo, that's powerful stuff, isn't it. The kind of thing you need to learn by rote to stop it getting to you...

It expressed itself physically, at first, as pain. I woke early one morning with a blinding headache that remained until I completed it. That doesn't usually happen so transparently.
