Oh, that was such a pleasure to listen to, dear podficcer! The story you told was absolutely the story I meant to tell -- you did a beautiful job bringing it to life. And it's much realer to me in your voice than it ever was on the page -- such gentleness between Mary and Kate, and such loving humour between Mary and John! And I love your take on Mary -- I don't think I realised how much she teases and makes little tension-easing jokes (sometimes wickedly pointed ones!), until I heard her in your voice.

And the editing is gorgeous. I love the music you chose, and I thought all your decisions about when to deploy music and when to deploy SFX were spot-on. And the dramatic musical interlude you inserted after "It was my turn to go ashen"...! Oh, I liked that. I fully support your choice to let that moment breathe.

Again, you did such a beautiful job with this. You understood the story I meant to tell and you made it REAL, and I'm just silly with delight.

Oh, I am so delighted that you enjoyed this! I did the happydance when I saw your comment, as I was rather unsure about how it might be received. I picked up your request after we had an early withdrawal, and when I saw you'd put podfic as something you'd like, I thought I'd give it a try.

Your lovely story lent itself so well to the format, and as far as I could tell had not been podficced before, so I thought I'd give it a go. You wrote Mary and her love for both Kate and John so well. I'm so glad this narration worked for you, and that you liked my musical and sound effect choices.

This was a beautiful rendering of a beautiful story. The quiet restraint of the reading suited perfectly the quiet restraint of Mary and Kate and John. The musical breaks and framing were charming and I loved the sound effects. It's been a while since I read the story and it was lovely to revisit it in this format. Thank you!

[methylviolet10b]

Thank you so much! I'm not a regular podficcer, so I'm delighted that you enjoyed my attempt.

[saki101]

I did indeed! I certainly wouldn't have guessed that you did not do it constantly!

Podfic, a rare treat! So well made and involving. The feeling and atmosphere of the wonderful original story come through so beautifully.

[methylviolet10b]

Thank you - and thank you for beta-testing and letting me know about the initial volume issues with the original file. It wouldn't have been nearly as successful without you!

Such an excellent production of the original work! Well done!

Thank you!
