AudioFictions

by Roxy Black @ 10/08/08 17:41  
You've guessed it! Our brand-new feature, AudioFictions has now been launched.

You can now visit our podcast page by clicking on the banner above this post. There you will find all of the information about our new podcast, and you'll be able to listen to the first episode! I hope you won't mind my voice for this time, but I'm reading some of my favourite poems from the site - all of whom have won or been awarded runner-up status in the Quick Silver Quills.

But we want to know what you want to listen to, and that is where the Black Lake comes in! In that forum, you'll be able to discuss the episodes and suggest new fictions and poetry for the "MerMuggles" to read.

MerMuggles are our recording team, who we will be hiring in the next couple of weeks. Check out the banner above for more details.
(MerMuggles is also the password to the Black Lake if you haven't had a chance to work it out!)

I hope you all enjoyed our riddle. We certainly had fun planning all of this for you and I hope it'll be a success.

The queue is not quite open yet - that'll happen later tonight and we'll make another news post when it does.

Please also see that the ads have been moved around slightly so that they fit into our skins. If you've got a problem with a layout, please contact me over on the Beta Boards and I'll try and sort it out.

For this week, only the Dragon skin will be available in celebration of our new project! The others will return in due course.

So, for new feature #1, what do we think?

Edit: AudioFictions can now be downloaded from itunes! Visit here: Linkie to subscribe!

Edit 2: The queue should now be open. Sorry for the delay, little technical glitch. Hopefully everything should be working, but if not - let me know!

Edit 3: Please remember to include your screenname on your auditions. :D I've had one or two that say a name, but I have no way of knowing who you are on our site!

I hate to ask the stupid question, but I cannot find 'the Black Lake' on the Beta Forums/Boards. I'm logged in, so what am I doing wrong/looking in the wrong place?

On a side note - Roxy, your delivery on the poetry was excellent. Very enjoyable. :)

RJ Lupins Kat - are you sorted? I'm not sure if the forum is visable to those who are not part of a house but I will double check and see if I can find out. In the mean time, why not get sorted? It can't hurt and we're all friendly :D I'm sure you'll have a great time!

This is really cool! Great job mods on another splendid idea. You have a really lovely voice, Roxy,Though it was a little difficult for me to understand the accent... I'm from man extremely unknown country so I expect i will have trouble understanding, but this is still a great idea!


RJ Lupins Kat written on 10/09/08 23:08

Hi, Roxy,

No, I'm not sorted. Not even sure how you go about it (it had crossed my mind that that could be part of the problem, as I did see so much relating to houses in other posts).

Apparently, then, it's not available for us 'houseless' wanderers, then, so perhaps I'll see where I belong. How does one go about that? ;)

I think that the audiofics are an awesome idea. Just I am having trouble getting to them. When I am logged in to my account the banner still says "Come seek us where our voices sound..." but then when I log out I can get to the audiofics easily.

Unsorted registered users can now see the forum. However, as in any other forum, your posts will be moderated.

I really don't want to be pushy or ungrateful or anything (I swear!), but might I ask when the queue will be open again? I know you mentioned in the post it would open up again that night, but that was days ago, and I was just wondering if I missed something, or if we are still waiting.

Thank you!

oh my god this is so cool!!!!! :D

This is a great idea! I'm just very unhappy because I totally got the password right, but it said it was incorrect! Grr...maybe my cookies were blocked. ;)

OK I feel like an idiot for asking this, but I'm new to the forums, so... where is the black lake? I have an account and I'm logged in, but I don't see it anywhere.

Uh... Roxy...? I just wanted to submit a poem. The word count is 36, so obviously it doesn't fulfill the 100 word requirement... does that mean that the Poetry Category also has limits? =( I thought it didn't... I can't submit it, you see. :$

Well, anyways -

The usual lurve and huggles to EVERYONE! =D

Monnical the Mocha Kupcake.

Roxy, your voice is quite lovely!
I really love this new feature! I downloaded it, and was listening away ... then it ended and I was most displeased. ;]
I think it's a great idea, and I can't wait to hear more! :D

much love,
Julia


Roxy Black written on 10/14/08 16:38

The site won't accept less that 100 words so you need to bump up the count with an authors note. Sorry, there's nothing we can do. Perhaps add a second poem on the theme, or another stanza?


moonstonesilver written on 10/14/08 17:15

Thanks, Roxy, that's a great idea! xD


Pottergirl written on 10/15/08 18:15

Wow!! So, basically, you can get your fics recorded, and people can READ them?! Rockin' Renesmee, that is so WICKED AWESOME!!!!!


moonstonesilver written on 10/15/08 20:24

Roxy! ZOMG! I had to listen and re-listen the PodCast, it as sooooo wicked kewl! (thanks, Pottergirl, you've revived my spirit for using that awesome word - 'wicked' ;D).
And I like the way you put the merpeople singing before and after, and then YOUR VOICE! MashaAllah, it's really pretty and it... sort of grabs everyone's attention... you get what I'm saying? xD And I just sent my auditioning with my username xD ZOMG, I'm going to burst with all this excitement :rolleyes:

Lurve and huggles and KUPCAKES!

Mocha ;]


moonstonesilver written on 10/15/08 20:25

LE GASP, Schmergo, having a cast of people singing your spoofs would be hilarious. I would love to do/listen to that! Hehe....


electronicquillster written on 10/21/08 1:22

When will the actual dragon skin header as well as the other skins be back?


Schmerg_The_Impaler written on 11/04/08 11:32

Roxy, your voice is beautiful. I just got around to listening because my speakers have been nasty. You sound a lot like the actress who plays Susan in the Chronicles of Narnia.

Now I feel really dorky about the stupid fake English accent I used in my application...
