I feel so triumphant! I recorded a 5k/50min long fic today. It is sekrit project fic. Don't have permission for it, but hey - that's how I roll.

(Record, [ask,[ first round edit, [wait for permission, get permission (???),] create coverart!, second round edit, edit edit edit, post!)

Target 40min!!!!
I finally completed my bandom podfic rec post, that took on a life of its own! \o/
I finally made a start and recorded 30min of the prequel to my Bandom Big Bang podfic! I spent 10min trying to figure out how the hell I was going to manage recording something that is like 90% Gerard/Gerard, but in the end I decided to just hit record and see how it turns out in the end.

\o/ "Sekrit": I am intrigued :D

[isweedan]

Sekrits are intriguing, aren't they? :DDDDD

[laurie_ky]

Did my 30 minutes of editing(as usual late at night but I've worked a lot of hours over the last couple of days)

Plus, bonus time by listening to a WIP podfic for quality control while I was driving around for work and caught a repeated phrase, which is now fixed.

hurray! What a great effort, congrats :)

Your process is very lengthy! I am surprised at how lazy I mean in comparison to you guys XD

[lunchee]

yeah, just letting go and getting on with it eliminates all kinds of worries doesn't it?

Congrats on the rec post, and the recording time!

[lunchee]

Nice one! I prefer to do podfic stuff at night too :)

Target: 30mins

Managed to record, edit, make a cover for and upload a 15min Sherlock BBC podfic \o/ I really love this story, but I don't think I'm a good match for it OTL The gravitas and emotional depth of the story doesn't really come across in the way I read it I think.... :'(

All in all it probably took an hour altogether, not counting all the time I got distracted by shiny posts on the internet and gifs of The Hunger Games...

[themusecalliope]

*goes to look for said podfic*

[croissantkatie]

I did about 40 minutes of editing on various podfics. I think I'm going to rerecord one of them though, too much clipping. Ah well :)

[sophinisba]

Goal: 20 minutes

I decided to take a day off from podficbigbang and work on two short fun things, but I had a really hard time. Spent over an hour trying to record but I kept having to stop because the fan was making so much noise, and I made so so many mistakes, and at one point found out I'd forgotten to hit the record button 20 minutes back, so I'd been talking for nothing. I think I ended up with about 25 minutes of recording which will probably come down to about 15 once I edit.

Still, managed to go back and edit and post the shorter piece, which is not fic or even really meta. I'm comfortable counting it for this comm but not sure about whether I should post to amplificathon: There are some things I need to tell you.

[croissantkatie]

I hope the Gerard/Gerard came out ok!

[isweedan]

Cruel fate! But sometimes a rerecord can be so amazing, y'know? Lik,e you get so much less wrong when you know where your problem areas are going to be before they happen.

[croissantkatie]

Yeah, I think I'm ok with it. But fingers crossed it'll be ok this time.

[knight_tracer]

That's my philosophy! You can worry and angst over things for ever, but then you'll get nothing done! I am in favour of planning, but sometimes you can plan so much it turns into avoiding.

Thanks a lot, yesterday was nice and productive.

[knight_tracer]

Thanks. It's hard because I like to make my characters have distinct differences, but so far I'm pleased with it.

[curiously_me]

w00t! 30 minutes of recording... Sadly, not on my PBB, but still. :)

[sunspot]

This is yesterday... Yes. Yes. Yesterday I test read a new fic, agonized over the possibility of dropping my Podfic Big Bang claim on account of I fell out of love with the story, and stared hopelessly at Photoshop for a while thinking about cover art. OH and I wrangled myself a beta listener. Probably about 45 minutes of work? :D

[lunchee]

♥♥♥

Unfortunately I haven't actually gotten around to making the post....which, yeah...maybe a couple of days....

[lunchee]

excuse my ignorance, but what's 'clipping'?

And go you! Editing is tedious, but necessary...

[lunchee]

Oh no! It seems like everything was really against you :( I hope the next day goes a lot better!

[lunchee]

progress is progress :)

[lunchee]

Oh no! I live in fear of falling out of love with a story I have promised to podfic D: What have you decided to do?

Making art sucks :\ Congrats on snagging a beta though!

[curiously_me]

Oh look! Finishing each others sentences, lol.

[curiously_me]

Oh, BB, that's no fun at all!

I have been there, falling out of love with a story, and I just had to let the author know that I wasn't happy with how the podfic sounded and could I perhaps put it on hold? The author was brilliant and I still have that story in my WIP queue... I might be working on it right now, actually. ;)

Good luck with your new story!!!

[curiously_me]

Oh, I remember seeing you tweet about not hitting the record button. I'm sorry this day went all pear-shaped on you, but hopefully today is better! :)

[curiously_me]

It'll be brilliant, I am assured of this!
(lol, my Generation Kill is showing)

[curiously_me]

Very cool!

May I ask how you note the parts that need fixing when you are listening for quality while driving? (sorry, I'm such a snoop, lol)

[laurie_ky]

I look at my Ipod and make a note of the approx time of the goof. Usually I write it down on a piece of paper or little notebook, but for that one, since it was almost at the end of the file, I just remembered it.
