Splintercast Reads WoR (WoR spoilers)

[FeatherWriter she/her]

Well hey. This is a thing that I did. Just in case you all would like to talk about my further descent into madness, I figure we ought to have a thread for these things.

I'm on mobile and I don't know how to make my link pretty without the rich text editor, so I'll just post the raw link: http://www.17thshard.com/news/shardcast/the-splintercast-reads/the-splintercast-reads-words-of-radiance-episo-r156

 

Oh hey look pretty link here now woo!

So, has anyone been listening thus far? What do you think?

[Argent he/him]

I'll finish the book before I indulge in... other things (the time I would spend listening to this would be better spent reading the book, at least the first time around), but I can help you with your URL woes!

Well hey there, that's like 600% simpler than I was expecting it to be. I figured it was the whole [ahref="e;lwsjdo;l] what not going on. I am not techy enough to remember these kinds of tags...

[lummi he/him]

I want to hear your reactions for the last chapters considering Adolin and Renarin )

[FeatherWriter she/her]

You will, certainly. I recorded every single chapter (aside from the sample chapters) so stick around! There's some VERY good reactions in here, as Eric can attest. I tend to send him the really good ones ahead of time.

[FollowYourMuse she/her]

Loved listening to your reactions!  I look forward to listening to the rest of them.

 

Made me think that at some point after midnight on the fourth there was a general  outcry across the country/ world of No NO NO NO NO !!!!  Since my reaction was almost identical

[FeatherWriter she/her]

The next set is up! Oh, and because I think I mention Sydney Scroungers in this one I figure I can link to that story in case anyone's interested in checking it out. This is... not the only time that Scroungers will be mentioned in these, whoops. Sorry, I'm obsessed.

[aheerema he/him]

Good grief, nice catch with Chapter title referencing the picture of Jasnah, that was way over my head. And remembering exactly which three sketches Shallan made.

[FeatherWriter she/her]

I'd actually just read that part aloud to my mom, so it was fresh in my brain! Also, I'm kinda really good at remembering obscure little quotes.

[WeiryWriter he/him]

These are absolutely hilarious, I can't wait for the next batch!

[FeatherWriter she/her]

Hehe, whoops. I've been working and Eric's been on vacation! We should have some more up this weekend sometime! I have... so many of these to edit, whoops.

[Chaos he/him]

My internet has been phenomenally terrible for uploading episodes (like .5Mbps for all of us in this house. It is awful)... But I'm hoping airport WiFi tomorrow will be good enough for me to do that!

Otherwise episodes will resume Sunday. I only really had two day's worth of additional episodes, and I can attest Feather has been phenomenally busy this week. There would have been a break in daily episodes regardless of my internet status I think.

[FeatherWriter she/her]

Yes. Yes there would have been. But next week's spring break! I'm gonna get all 81 files edited and sent off to Chaos soon!

 

...yes there's 81 recordings. Yes I am a crazy person. There were a lot of squeals and reactions to be captured.

[Chaos he/him]

HEY LISTEN http://www.17thshard.com/news/shardcast/the-splintercast-reads/the-splintercast-reads-words-of-radiance-episo-r161

[FeatherWriter she/her]

In which Eric is Navi.

[+eveorjoy she/her]

Enjoying them Feather. Keep it up.

These are fun to listen to

The new mic is nice.

 

Of course I won't mention that, I will never mention that, oh, wait.

The old mic does not even deserve to be recognized as microphone and should be ashamed of itself. I am sorry that you all had to listen through THAT MANY EPISODES WITH IT. You are all saints. And I love all of you.

[Silver]

I have to admit I really, really love listening to your reactions, Feather! For most of them, I took out my copy of WoR and read along. Which is fun but also mildly irritating because until then I thought I was a pretty fast reader but it turns out you're either super fast or editing things together? ...I have no idea how podcast-thingies work.
Anyway, I'm also completely on board with Kaladin/Petty Rivalries. Especially when certain nicknames (that aren't supposed to be adorable but totally are) are involved.



 

[Kurkistan he/him]

Don't worry, Feather said in one of the first episodes that she'd be cutting out dead-air: any time when she read for some stretch without commenting is cut out.

[FeatherWriter she/her]

My new favorite Audacity commands: "Amplify" "Noise Removal" and the beautiful wonderful feature that is "Truncate Silence. I have informed my boyfriend that I might be cheating on him with Audacity's "Truncate Silence" feature. Let's all give "Truncate Silence" a round of applause, shall we? After that I just have to go through and delete any coughs, sneezes, door slams, or sniffles that slipped through the filter.

 

Glad y'all are liking them so far!

[Silver]

Yep, that makes way more sense than "Oh my gosh she's a LIGHT SPEED MONSTER READER someone has to stop her!"

[Khyrindor he/him]

I find it hilarious how ironic most of your comments are. Such as, "I like Tyn, thank you Brandon for the Jasnah replacement." And, "I hate how all of the characters keep dying. No one else will die! Except Sadeas, Sadeas can go die."

[Lurthemir he/him]

These are great. I hope that you continue for future books.

[Wolven he/him]

These are fun to listen to, and I think it could also be fun to perhaps use these threads for chapter by chapter discussion.  I saw something like that way back for 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'.  I believe that was on a site called 'The Sugar Quill'.
