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?

Right, I'll give it a pop. I'll try reading some of my own short pieces, and then I think I'll pick some of my other favourite authors and stories.

I tend to gabble when lecturing, so slowing down will be the main thing. I've only read out my fiction to a small group of sympathetic listeners before, and it's made me terribly nervous. I want to get past that. (Oddly, I think it might be different when the audience isn't directly in front of me.)

Glad you like the icon - here's another one ;-) I mainlined Upstairs, Downstairs at the end of last year, and then demanded icons from Mr A.

*adds Upstairs, Downstairs to Netflix queue*

I loved that series! It will be fun to see it again.

I had managed to go my entire life without having any of the narrative spoiled for me (it was on when I was far too little to be watching). Absolutely stellar.

My mini-version of Operation Clear Out progressed further today: I now have a comfortable spare bedroom again.

Excellent! The way I see it, you just saved tens of thousands of pounds by creating a new bedroom out of thin air!

LOL! Very good point!
