Last year I assisted with turning Through the Well of Pirene into a physical book, by doing art stuff.

After getting my copy, I thought it'd be neat to take some photos, side-by-side with the originals. Now I can prove to my followers that it really was me. and not one of my clones

Back when I reviewed Hoopy McGee's Project Sunflower, I name-dropped Through the Well of Pirene by Ether Echoes as another well-known, highly regarded HiE. Today, after a solid year of reading a not-audio book, I bring you my 100th review of the year, and 4000th review of ever, in which we will explore that very

I got a shiny new microphone, the Blue Yeti! It's everything I hoped it would be and more.
Looking forward to recording for you guys in stereo :3

Good afternoon guys!

Since the fanfiction was first introduced to me by my good friend MrRidley, known to me as Nick, I've been curious about reading it, but never considered it seriously until he informed me a few weeks ago that its author was looking for someone to do an audiobook. Of course, I leapt at the chance immediately. I will state here and now that I am not a pegasister: I am one of those strange sympathetic non-fan friends or family members of

(Insert inappropriate Professor Putricide quote here.)

I'm saying goodbye to my faithful laptop. Repair costs are such that I'd really rather get a new computer. On the bright side, I have everything backed up! That will make life a lot easier so I can power through all the reading I've delayed on so many times. Just gotta find my pop filter...

I guess it's kind of fitting that I've begun reading chapter 9 in the ninth month of the year. I offer my deepest apologies to anyone if you're from the regions whose accents I'm pilfering for Ether Echoes' fic and offended by my failure to accurately replicate them. The fault is mine for not listening hard enough when you guys speak.

Really, though, listening is one of the most important things people can do for each other. It's part of the magic of friendship

Because I am!

VonSnootingham posted this over a year ago, and then we ran into technical problems just as I finished chapter 10. It's definitely been a rocky few years since I started this audiobook, and I want to apologize to everyone who has been looking forward to seeing it finished. You deserve so much more than one update in a blue moon.

Chapter 19 is go.

I've skimmed it already. The description of the Bridle reminds me of rape. The Morgwyn's demeanor creeps me out.
I'm not ready for this.

*rushes in full speed ahead*

I've been recording my voice for the past few months with a headset, which is good for internet calls when I just want to have a conversation on Skype or Google. It's definitely useless for singing or reading, however; it picks up background noises like a fly picks up diseases.

Greetings everyone that happens to run across this blog.

As a few have notices, I've not updated in sometime, but life happens. Anyways, I am still working on Protocol-D, albeit slowly. I have also been working on a side-story of sorts about one of the characters. This side story will probably finish up first. It is sitting at 8.6k words at the moment. I might break it into two chapters instead of the one do to that fact.

I've been given a few pointers from Ether Echoes himself concerning the different sounds of main characters, and attempted so far to retain a kind of consistency in the way of vocal tone and pitch, as I've always lacked the confidence to speak for very long in a dialect not my own, as strange as that sounds. Applejack has given me a little trouble in that field, particularly, but I hope you will understand: I don't want you to feel as though you must be too kind to me once chapter 4 comes out.

Somewhere in my busy life I've found room to re-read some of the books in Madeleine L'engle's wonderful saga, and first among these at the moment is A Wind in the Door. It's been years since I read these absolutely magical pieces of work, which have such a great deal of meaning in them that I think can be appreciated by anyone, no matter what outlook you might have on the world. Why? Because she creates a narrative that, although filled with imagery and symbols inspired by her own

Good ol' Ether Echoes has issued a challenge: finish all remaining chapters by tomorrow night.

I'm almost done with 20.
I guess if I shut myself in my room all tomorrow, it won't be too hard to get the rest done. :P

Due to personal tragedy, I will be taking a break from the audiobook for the next few days at least.
It's too hard to focus on anything right now.

Hey, guys, I'm not dead! That's pretty much the real reason I'm writing this blog post.

I've started work on Chapter 5, and in the meantime have been reading a lot more than in the past few months. It's been a peaceful few weeks.

To read, that is!
I've been getting a bit into songwriting since I got a taste with the whole Lyra thing. The version on Bandcamp is the same one you'll be hearing on the completed version of chapter 18.

Everything through Chapter 6 has been fixed up slightly and had the magnificent voice of Illya Leonov added to the Morgwyn and Nessus.

Chapters 9 and 10 are in the works.

Look to the Second Coming of Pirene... on Illya Leonov's channel!
