Day 2, Track 6

[curiously_me]

Welcome, PodMo'ers!

On this, Day 2 of Track 6, you must ask yourselves, "What have I done today?" and then, you should tell everyone of your amazing exploits in the world of podfic. We are excited to see what you've been up to!

Don't worry, if you didn't do much or weren't able to do anything at all, we are here to cheer on your accomplishments and encourage you as you record, edit, ask permissions, create cover art, and anything else even remotely related to podfic! :D


*Reminder: This track, we are only posting on Dreamwidth. If you only have a Livejournal, or some other platform, you can sign in using OpenID.


p.s. in an effort to get back in the habit of talking into my microphone, lol, I have recorded this post... Have a listen, yeah?

Yikes, why am I always one of the first replies? (Suspect it's a timezone thing.)

Been prodding at this for about an hour and have a total of 5.5 mins of clean takes to show for it. And three blooper files of me cracking up in the middle of the same paragraph over and over again. Now may be a good time to stop. ;-)

[curiously_me]

It just might be a timezone thing, lol. I've only managed to be a first reply once or twice in the entire time I've been active online. :)

Good for you for working on your project with such dedication! I'll just bet those blooper files sound wonderful, laughing podficcers are the best thing to listen to, lol, they make me smile every time.

[neurotic_squirrel]

Heh. I love laughing podficcers. Also, I may have accidentally a second podfic. Oops. ;)

[curiously_me]

Mwahaha! "Oops" I think I like your oopses, if this is how they happen. ;)

[luzula]

Edited for ten minutes. No more, no less!

[curiously_me]

Yay! *\o/*

That's ten minutes closer to posting, right? When it comes to editing, every little bit counts, I've found.

[analise010]

Am I allowed to comment too? Because I edited 1/2 a podfic today and probably spent ~30 mins on it. I might do some more tonight, but I doubt it.

[curiously_me]

Yes, you are TOTALLY allowed to comment! :P

I like that you edited 50% of a podfic, but now I have to ask... Was that the first half or the latter half of your project?

Congrats on being able to get something done today! Even if you don't get to do more later, you have the knowledge that progress was made.

[analise010]

*sigh* The first half. I really REALLY want to get the second half done since I have a cover made and could post TONIGHT, but homework. :(

[curiously_me]

Good luck with your homework! It's hard for me to focus on responsible things when PODFIC!

[greedy_dancer]

Well done! Half a podfic is a lot! :D

[analise010]

Aaaaaand now I'm doing the second half. I can't stop! /o\

P.S. HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?????

[curiously_me]

Yay, second half!

[analise010]

THE LAST 5 MINS OF THE PODFIC WERE LOST TO AN AUDACITY CRASH! T___________T.

[neurotic_squirrel]

Oh no! *sadface* Hope you can recover it/fix it...

[analise010]

It was only the last sentence! Fixed and posted! \O/

[greedy_dancer]

Well done!! Podfic is addictive like that! :p

I've been good! How have you been? I was pleased to see your name here, I haven't seen you around in ages! :D

[greedy_dancer]

Did 25 minutes tonight despite being ready for bed by the time I remembered I needed to do my minutes :p Some rough editing and listening on the "just for fun" project, which I think might work! I'm pleased with how the beginning turned out, in any case.

[curiously_me]

A little podfic editing/listening before bed sounds like a wonderful thing to me. :D

I'm happy to hear that your just-for-fun project is, not only fun, but is turning out well for you. \o/

[argentumlupine]

10 minutes of recording.

[curiously_me]

Yay, good for you! May I ask what fandom you are recording? (not snoopy at all, nope, lol)

[argentumlupine]

Bandom. Getting started on a long-ish project but only had the voice for 10 minutes yesterday.

[mistressjinx]

:)

I finished doing my re-read on my big project. I clocked about 5 hours of reading off and on all day. (From when I woke up until 2ish. I started recording immediately b/c I was feeling it)f

The project I am recording is Tiny Houses by Ohmyjetsabel in the Twoof fandom. It's 70k+ and 7 chapters.

I recorded the first two chapters today. Chapter 1 came in at 2 hours, 10 minutes raw. Chapter 2 came in at 1 hour, 55 minutes raw.

And with that, I am done for the day. My brain is fried. So my total is about 9 hours (maybe a little less, I took A LOT of breaks today)

I'm hoping to nail down 2 more chapters tomorrow. :)

[majoline]

Oh wow, go you! :D

[curiously_me]

*claps* I second majoline's comment. You have clocked some major podfic time today, I am so very proud of you! And, a tiny bit jealous that I've not managed a day of podfic like this all year, lol. ;D

Can't wait to hear it!

[majoline]

I spent most of the day uploading to box *sighs at internet* and it's sort of sapped my will to fuss about with AO3 and post.

(but I will admit my backlog of stuff is ridic, and I'm frustrated at my anxiety)

[curiously_me]

*hugs and cuddles for you*

Good job getting things uploaded, that can be a right pain some days, I know (slow internet at my house *eyeroll*). I ended up creating a master file for posting podfic, so I can just copypasta from the file into dreamwidth, ao3, or whatever community I may be posting to. I will admit that it helped me get things posted in a timely manner once they'd been edited.

*moar hugs* I don't have any words of wisdom on anxiety, since I am struggling with it myself right now, but I'm here if you need hugs or encouragement.

[majoline]

Thank you. Hugs are always muchly appreciated. A master post is a great idea, copypasta would make it easier. ^u^

[aethel]

30 minutes of editing, despite getting distracted by Teen Wolf porn recs. I have a vague desire to make cover art, but a less vague desire to get some tea and curl up in bed.

[curiously_me]

Lol, I read this as "Teen Wolf podfic recs," nodded, and said to myself that that totally counts as time spent podficcing. Rofl!

You've done quite a bit today, I think you deserve some tea. Will you be curling up in bed with a book or podfic? :D

[aethel]

I curled up in bed with fanfic. Which reminds me that I need to get out of bed now to edit podfic again....

[jelazakazone]

I'm going to say that I spent 30 minutes working on a fic I will record. :D :D

[curiously_me]

Yippee! 30 minutes is a good long while. Methinks, it may be time for a podficcer dance of progress. *does a quick chair shimmy/dance/thing*

I can't wait to see, I mean hear, what you're working on! :D

[jesperanda]

Watched some videos to determine the correct pronunciation of "Meccano" (I think the brand is Erector in the US) and looked over/replied to some suggestions for a group project. 15 minutes, all told; still need to make up 5 min.

[andeincascade]

Today! 60ish minutes, spent doing a practice read of my project. I'm not quite halfway through the story. I'm very pleased that it's flowing well, not too many tongue-twisters so far! \o/

[knight_tracer]

40 min recording \o/ I was working on a longish project I've been poking at for ages.

1hr - exporting, podbooking, uploading and posting an awesome collab podfic I did with rhea314. It always takes longer to get all the admin stuff done than I think it should.

[neurotic_squirrel]

Ah yes, I did spot that - thanks for the reminder, need to download it. :-)

[knight_tracer]

:D Enjoy! It was a great thing to do, we had a lot of fun swapping files and just sharing in the fic joy.

[niko]

15 minutes (Or, if starting something and realizing you're just NOT in the right frame of mind to record that thing and deleting it completely counts, more like 25 minutes :) )
