Podfic: Firimar

[altariel]

I'm on a roll. Firimar is a story by ithilwen based on The Silmarillion. It features Finrod Felagund, and it asks: Do the Elves in Aman ever look back at Middle Earth?

This is a gorgeous story, I hope I've done it justice. It is, I think, unique in being a Tolkien story that is also unambiguously science fiction. Thank you, ithilwen, for permission to record!

What is a podfic? Sorry for being an idiot, but I haven't been much around for the last fortnight and before, and anyway, when I get a moment to look up LJ, I have mostly not the faintest idea what you folks are talking about. As if in my absence the entire English language (or the current cultural environment) had been changed completely into a direction I cannot even fathom... :(

I didn't know what podfic was until a few months ago either :-) Basically, a 'podfic' is an audio recording of fanfic. (The word is a combination of podcast and 'fanfic'.)

So the link in this post is to a recording of me reading out Ithilwen's story Firimar :-)
