Audio DA fanfic !!

[scarylady]

It occurs to me that the lovely, and altogether too modest, msbarrows has not linked her latest work here.  She mailed me a link over a week ago and I intended to bung it up, but press of events stopped me.

Therefore, I present to you the dulcet tones of this lovely lady, reading 3 short DA fanfics, including one of my own.  I'm proud to have been included in her selections.

PS.  This exercise also got me thinking about how differently I would write if I was writing for audio as my primary media.  There were a few things - in the story of mine that she picked - which worked well as the written word, but didn't translate perfectly for a voice file. 

Hmm.  Anyone had any experience of writing for audio and fancies chipping into a debate?  Would love to hear your thoughts.

I used to advise my students to read their work out loud if they didn't have someone else to look things over. It's much easier to catch a mistake when it's being processed on two levels.

It seems to me that reading fiction does involve a certain amount of acting. Even a subtle change in tone or inflection can be enough to signal a change in speaker.

As to how one would write for audio, I'm with Scary -- I haven't a clue. Would be an interesting exercise, though.
