So much editing ahead of me. So much editing. I need to listen to my first podfic again and see if I can find a logical scene break sound, because I'm never quite satisfied with a silent pause.

I'm almost done with preliminary edits of my Star Wars podfic. The fact that I cannot manage to pronounce Alderaan or Alderaanian consistently is a source of deep pain for me. Even as I type that I can't remember the correct way to say it. Help!

Unless I find an amazing level of podficcing dedication this month, I fear I may not finish the Harry Potter podfic in time. But I will push on. *determined*

Just want to bump in here and congratulate you on your icon. I think yours and mine could be friends ;)

And I'll keep my fingers crossed you'll find that inspiration!

YOU CAN DO IT!!!! *\o/*

Together, we will get through this and our podfics will be AWESOME. :D

[xancredible]

I really need to re-record my reader freetalk and edit the file to include it. Apart from that I'm all done!

My main piece is a 5 part story, and the parts are recorded, there's a music version (thanks to everyone for advice last time!), and there's a 'whole thing' version with and without music. After trying it myself, I'm hoping to get some covers from the Harvey Fandom Auction - I have a vision but no abilities!

Life has Happened, so although I still hope to get one more done, it's going to be a sprint finish! Like you, I suspect it's the editing that will kill me. Although I'm now doing that entirely on my iPad, which I at least have with me at all times. Editing podfic on the bus is kind of fun!

[jadesfire]

Against all probability and common sense, I'm on to have 4 podfics done - 2 Critical Role, 2 Daredevil.

I'm kind of as surprised as anyone!

All 4 already have draft posts in AO3, because trying to do them all at the weekend sounded like a recipe for madness.

More madness.

Anyway, looking forward to final posting instructions!

I am a fucking ~mess~. The goal was to finish recording before I started my new job and that hasn't happened. Then, I started a fandom fundraiser to help the people affected by Hurricane Harvey (harvey_fanaid), which gave me even less time to finish. DX

In the end, I donated to someone in harvey_fanaid to get help my with my editing. Since this is holiday weekend in the US, the new goal is to finish recording tonight, then spend Monday editing so I can send the podfic to my beta and my artist.

You've got this, and it's good that you'll be getting help with it all soon!

I'm doing good! I've finished recording and have the first 3 chapters edited. I have started school so I haven't gotten much more done. but on the other hand I now have travel time in which I can beta listen! We'll see how much editing I get done in the coming weeks (I'm hoping a fair amount and that studying doesn't take up all my time)

I just finished the first draft of my cover art too!

[pi]

I finished one! I just need to give it a listen check to make sure there's nothing that needs fixing but it should be ready. I have vague ideas about what I'll try to do for cover art for it, so that's the next thing.

The other I'm at 2/7 parts which means there's an additional 50k left to record so...I'm not counting on that actually getting finished since I have only a handful of recording evenings between now and posting due to life/plans.

[tipsy_kitty]

I am in editing hell...

[tipsy_kitty]

And also, I can't remember if I actually signed up...

[brickgrass]

A Terrifying Clamour Of Trumpets is still 100% recorded and edited, but I only have 15% recorded and 3% edited of Practical Mythology due to real life stuff. I have a month, but it is a possibility that it won't be done by the deadline :(

[madnads]

I'm 100% done with podfic!!!! :D I'm waiting for time to post now! :D :D
I'm debating about leaving it in 10 pieces (45 min - 1hr 15 min) chunks, or copy it so it's in two pieces for Part 1& Part 2.. but I donno if my computer can handle that much audio data..........

[itsadrizzit]

So much editing!

Also re-records because there was a part where my microphone would randomly insert a second or so of static instead of my words.

Now if only I could stop getting sidetracked with other fandom projects I could get this done.

[night_inscriber]

Editing, editing, editing. I have 2/5 chapters finished and working on the rest (though ch. 5 is really short, so that'll be a breeze in comparison).

Here for final check in.

I'm pretty much there. \o/
