Joining Jaye discussion thread

[Amanda]

I love LibriVox! I'm considering narrating for them.

[Kendra]

Same here. I signed up... but then my free time evaporated and I've net been able to do it.

[C.B.]

XD That's my problem, that I just don't have that much time to read. I'm having enough trouble making time to write...

YES. I've listened to two of theirs, Grimms' Fairy Tales and Jane Eyre. That's the only way I was able to get through Jane Eyre. Narrating would be soooo much fun!!! I'd just be worried about equipment and such.

[Firefly]

I've done librivox, as well. I listened to Ivanhoe for school. Some of the narrators I really enjoyed listening to.

[Alyssa]

They're all free? There's more then two?!?! I've only read the first book and watched the movie (laughing while my mom freaks out about the flying monkey).

[Kendra]

There are a good ... at least ten books in the official series.

[Alyssa]

Really? Wow.

[Alyssa]

It'd be cool to read for them. I've always wanted to act, but I'm not one for doing things in front of other people, so then I wanted to read audio books.

[Merenwen]

Yes, I can post mine now! :D
Wizard of Oz? Free AUDIO BOOKS?!?!? *saves to check out later*

Just so everyone knows, I moved Resterwen to the bottom, so after me is Hannah. :)

[Amanda]

I badly want to read for ACX, which is the producer for Audible, but you have to be eighteen. There are soooooo many indie books that don't have audiobooks.
My family is in radio, too, and I've done VoiceOver myself, so in three more years, I WILL NARRATE ALL THE BOOKS.

[C.B.]

Sounds good!

[Sierra]

*finishes reading* *squeals* *dies from both fangirling and second hand embarrassment*

[C.B.]

*laughing head off* So funny!

[H.M.R.]

oh my word Merewen that was halarious!

[Amanda]

Hahaha! Love both of them.

[gabi]

Sarah, Merenwen: THAT WAS HILARIOUS!!! I loved it! Just got to squeal: Jace!!!

[Alyssa]

@Amanda In that case I have five years... :(

@Sarah I LOVED yours!! So funny!

@Merenwen SO awesome!

@Everybody These are all hilarious! I'm loving them all!! XD

[H.M.R.]

You guys are also creative! I love reading your fan fiction! This is so much fun too!! *plots next fan fiction* *Chuckles evil chuckle*

[Sierra]

:D :D :D :D I was grinning so hard (and ok, squealing the tiniest bit out loud) that my mom looked over at me and asked what was going on.

[Sierra]

:D :D :D :D I was grinning so hard (and ok, squealing the tiniest bit out loud) that my mom looked over at me and asked what was going on.

[gabi]

Hannah, that is wonderful! I'll just start squealing for the rest of the day!

[C.B.]

Guysguysguys... this is HILARIOUS. Sierra... threatening them with your English textbook... XD

[gabi]

Yes, C.B. (Sierra too) that was the best.

[Alyssa]

I LOVED THEM!! THESE ARE ALL SO AWESOME!!!!!!!! :D :D

[H.M.R.]

oh my word I'm dying from laughter! that was awesome Sierra!!!!

[Brie]

When I saw you talking about Oz, I thought LibriVox too. I didn't record any though.

[Kendra]

I read/listened to Sky Island and The Sea Fairies via libravox. And the Dramatic recording of The Scarecrow of Oz, which is one of my favorite books of the series.

[Merenwen]

Thanks, everybody, for the encouragement. :D

*reads the posts several times* *rotfl from seeing other fan girls incapacitated by the awesomeness of Ilyon characters in RL*
Well, except for Firefly...she's got her fan girl in the bag, and her Queenship out of the box... ;) XD

*cackles in a plotting way*

[Sarah]

*pops in*
So, I know I don't ever actually post on this group mostly because I spent all my book money before TKS came out and I'm scared of spoilers but I've been stalking the fanfiction and it's awesome. *nods*

Also, I got the free versions of all the Oz books yesterday . . . and my mom was like "Good grief, Sarah, you downloaded thirteen books?" and I was like "But they're free!"

[C.B.]

XD That would be me. And my mom's skepticism. :P

[Kendra]

For the record, I'm not going the fangirl route in my chapters. I'm being incredibly professional. (What Maryanne does is another matter.) As an author myself (and having ended up with a villain), I can't afford fangirling in this situation.

I'm amused by your moms' reactions. We usually have the opposite in my house, though. My Mom uses my amazon account for the appstore on her tablet ... and she's constantly buying free apps.

[Firefly]

My fangirling is being limited to hugs and evil plotting.

[Erika]

Pops in to let the clan know I'll try to post my story part one today. :)

[gabi]

Yippee! Don't worry if you can't, Resterwen!!! We totally understand.

[Alyssa]

Yay! If you can't though, we'd all understand! :) :)

[Erika]

Posted my part. It's not quite how I intended it to go, but characters love to do things their own way. :)

[gabi]

That's so cool, Resterwen!

[Alyssa]

Cool, Resterwen! You got Rayad AND Kyrin! Both some strong willed characters!

[Erika]

Yeah, that's why I didn't feel I could handle Trask on top on that... ;) :)

[Alyssa]

;)

[Firefly]

I love yours, Resterwen! :D

[Stargazer]

I'm having fun reading y'alls fanfic. It's so fun. :D

[Kendra]

Fun. Back to me ... I'll post it some time after I get home from work this evening.

[Alyssa]

Can't wait!! XD

Heh. My mom's all for free stuff, as a rule- it's just the amount that caught her off guard. Before now, the most free books I've ever downloaded at one time was . . . six-ish, I think?

[C.B.]

@Resterwen: I love it!!! You did an awesome job. It's so much more subtle than the rest of ours. ;)

@Sarah: I've gone on free book sprees... Amazon is my TBR enemy. :P

[Erika]

Thanks. I was trying to keep it true to life for me, and there's no way I'd see someone who looked like someone I know and immediately talk to them for that reason. :)

[Kendra]

Okay, just got off from work, and ended up working an extra hour, so it may take a bit before I put my brain together enough to post something. But hopefully I'll have something soon.

[Kendra]

Okay, it's up. And I think it ended up being a bit long again??? I'm sorry, she and Maryanne were amusing me! And I needed to impress on Davira the gravity of the situation.

Also, since Marenwen said that we can used fictional versions of ourselves, I'm using my Ankulen-universe self, because she has a few more resources than I do.

[gabi]

Yay! I love it, Kendra! Davira is so creepy awesome.
