Hmm . . . I guess that makes sense then. But having a "The End" after authors notes seems silly to me for some reason, especially since I NEVER write it, even after the story itself. If it's the end of the story, the last few lines should TELL the reader that it's the end of the story and writing "The End" just seems redundant.

Although, I guess it would help in audiofics to tell the listener that the story's over and there isn't anymore--better than just stopping the recording, anyway.

I only have one short story on the archive, but you're more than welcome to record it. You can find it at the archive under the name Angel.

Sorry, I haven't been paying attention to the details latterly - is it mandatory for 'The End' to be at a certain point in the recording? Isn't it possible to for you to have

The story
'The End'
End author notes
Disclaimer

in that order, if that suits you best?

Again, Paul could tell you for sure, but I can't see why that should be a particular problem if that's the order you feel most comfortable with. Unless, it screws things up somehow and I've missed the reason along the way. (Entirely possible, it has to be said. )

LabRat

Disclaimer should indeed be the last thing.

The reading should include everything that's in the archive file. Everything the author wanted there. So, yeah, that includes end notes.

I'll leave "The End" up to reader discrtion. Some people seem to like it, others seem to prefer without. Not a big deal either way, IMO.

Similarly, you may add the words "Authors Note" if you think it makes things clearer. There are some things that are easier to discern in plain text than in speech, so if you feel it needs clarifying, go ahead.

Basically... use common sense. We don't have to be that strict about everything.

Paul

Cool. I guess I'll do what I've been doing (plus the disclaimer) for the rest of my stories--which I'm reading myself anyway.

And since I'm reading the stories I wrote myself, and I therefore give myself permission, I am going to change the author notes so that they sound better as a recording. The way I wrote them, sometimes they have phrases like, "as quoted above," and consdering it's audio and there is no "above," it's kinda funny.

Thanks for the clarification about the disclaimer!

Paul, I started with the story Epiphany by LabRat. I sent part 1 and hope it's okay. Please let me know. It was fun, but maybe not as smooth as yours. I hope to improve with further recordings. I plan on finishing this one today, as soon as you can give me the go ahead.

special thank you to Labrat for allowing her work to be read, and enjoyed again.

Wow. Thank you, Wanda! I've just been listening to a little bit of your recording of Epiphany - thank you for choosing this one to record.

It's so strange to hear someone reading the words you've written. But very cool, too. <g>

I love this project. I really hope that many more stories are recorded.

LabRat

Coming back to give Paul a ton of smoochies for the lovely surprise of that recording of SOMH. You are such a sweetheart, I swear. It made my day getting that part one.

Ok, I call "Brief Encounter" by Wendy Richards/Yvonne Connell. I just hope I don't burst out laughing when I read about Superman's fetching red dress. I'm going to start this weekend.

Anyone can read any of my stories. Although, right now I only have the one story (Secret Agent) I would just prefer that my email address not be read on the audio (just in case it ever changes) Thanks.

I think this is a great idea. I love audio books. I love this fandom. Putting the two together is positively inspired!

Rhea

Ok, Brief Encounter is done. Had fun with that one. Next up: Midnight Gambit...M.L. Thompson

Just noticed the link to this from the archive - You're welcome to use any of my completed stories - I'd offer to read them, but I have a British accent and a slight stutter and it probably wouldn't work very well.

This is a great project, Paul. Thanks for organizing it. You're certainly more than welcome to use my stories, but I will not be responsible if some foolish soul tries to take on one of the obscenely long ones and loses their voice.

ETA: Everything I've written is archived under 'Raconteur.'

I'd like to try

The Confession

Cheryl: I download A Brief Encounter last night and listen to it while I was doing my house work. How On earth did you mamage not to giggle through out the whole thing, I know I was.

Good work

Hey, Paul. Saw this project on the Archive. Great idea, it'll be good for the FOLC who are blind or find it difficult to read. All the best.

Lote

I just sent Paul a recording I made of Marry in Haste , a collaboration I did with Wendy and Tank. Someone mentioned it the other day in one of the threads in the fanfic related folder and it reminded me of how much fun I had writing my parts of this so I figured it might be fun to read it out loud.

Evil? What's so evil about it, I ask?

Anyway, enjoy! (I hope)

This is a really really cool idea and I can see how it would be very popular. I gladly say 'Use any of my fics' and then add the qualifier 'if you want'
I'm Marnie Rowe on the Archive.

I would gladly record several of my own, but I have to admit - I would want to add or subtract words or otherwise improvise where I just plain felt my work was lacking. :p

ta for now,

Thanks, Marnie.

Well, you could always record someone else's stories instead.

LabRat

Really neat idea. Somehow I hadn't paid enough attention to it before. Feel free to use my ficlets if you like. My name on the archive is... C_A :p .
