Fanwork Notes

I've always felt this fic should ideally be read aloud. So many of my language choices were made for their aural qualities. But I've put off making a podfic of this, wanting it to be 'perfect' - now I have accepted that it doesn't need to be perfect.

Since this was recorded and edited entirely on my phone, there are a handful of glitches, but I have done my best to make for a smooth listening experience. Pronunciations of elvish names are based on how I remember learning them over a decade ago, so please excuse any errors.

The recording does not include the author's notes or footnotes. To read the complete text, including notes, see the text version

I've said this elsewhere, but I agree with you that reading aloud gives your fic an added impact, especially with your intended intonation. You have a lovely voice, and it's so suited to the mood of this fic too.

I'm so glad you've made this onto a full podfic! I've so enjoyed listening to the first chapters and now the rest are downloaded...
