Mispronunciations, argh.

[luzula]

It's quite annoying to realize you've been mispronouncing a word that occurs all the time in the story you're recording. Must re-record and edit, arrgh. (The word is "tapestry", which I was saying as "TAY-pes-try" but which is supposed to be "TAH-pes-try".)

On that note, anyone feel like beta-listening to this podfic? It's aria's The Dark Is Rising story No Second Coming. It was supposed to be my final Amplificathon entry, but then it got delayed and I missed the deadline. Ah well. It'll be done in a day or two, and will be about 1 hour and 45 minutes long. You probably need to know canon to appreciate it, so don't feel like you have to volunteer if you haven't read the books. : )

In other news, I'm writing again! \o/

You writing is excellent news! And I'll be happy to beta whenever it's ready.

[luzula]

I am in fact writing that porny sequel we were talking about! : )

And thank you so much! I hadn't actually expected anyone to volunteer, because it feels like a pretty rare fandom, but I am very happy that you did. \o/

[mergatrude]

Wow! I love that story and can't wait to hear you reading it. ♥

[luzula]

Oh, cool! Now that I know someone's looking forward to it, I feel more motivated to finish. \o/

I hear you luz!

If you're not looking for a pronunciation beta, but general editing I could listen.

[luzula]

Frustrating, isn't it?

I think I'm fine with general editing--I use the hand-clapping technique, so it tends to be obvious when I've missed a re-take. But thank you! : )

Unfortunately, I don't know the source.

I'm always happy to beta-listen for you, but it sounds like someone else might be a better fit this time.

[luzula]

I will keep you in mind for another time. : )

And I'll get back to my core fandoms soon--this is the last of my long rare fandom Amplificathon projects. Wow, am I glad I didn't decide to run for one of the top three places this year.

Hi there! Sorry you've had some bumps here and there, but your podfic is always intensely enjoyable, dear. And I've heard a few native English speakers mispronounce some words. And--gulp--I am pretty sure I did it at least once.

I am happy to see you back and doing Things Fannish.

I guess mispronunciations are a bit like typos--I probably can't get rid of them 100%, but I can try. Betas are a great help with that. And thank you--your encouragement always warms my heart. &hearts
