Ages ago, I was asked to do a podfic of 'Jeeves and the Dirty Pictures'. I tried, but my equipment wasn't up to the job. I've now got a laptop that doesn't make a noise like a jet taking off, a better mic, and I had the house to myself for the day. So I podficced 'Jeeves and the Niece Who Isn't' instead. No, I have no idea why I did that either.
Anyway, I've had a listen through, and I don't think it's come out too badly. I can think of worst things to spend half an hour listening to, anyway.

Hi, I'll leave a comment to your fic here since I forgot my password for ff.net. And my nick. It's a long time since I've been there. Wait, can you leave anonymous comments there? Anyway. All these words just to say that I didn't actually listen to the podfic (I prefer to read).
But I liked the Niece Who Isn't. I love outsider's POV and the historic context... stuff. As you may see, I never quite know what to say, so I'll leave it at a Well done =)

Thanks. :) Yes, you can leave anon comments on the pit of voles.
I'm definitely more a reader than a listener myself, but despite what I've said, I was quite happy with how this recording turned out. There's room for improvement, there always is whatever you're doing, but the other thing you can do with audio - assuming you're recording your own work, that is - is to try to bring across the direction that was in your head. It can be easier to get across a character's emotions in how they say something rather than just what they say, and description will only get you so far - and, with description, it's possible to go too far...
