Face your daylight horrors!
(Except acorns, it is totally fine to avoid those whenever possible. Seriously, they bother me.)
I am an emotional and enthusiastic person, so here there will be feelings! Mostly good feelings, but awkwardly expressed. That is just how I do things.
This is one of my favourite chapters from the wonderful Warden!Bethany Alphabet, White Light, by MinorEarth here on tumblr. This story changed my view on Bethany as a possible Grey Warden, and it is fantastic, really. I hope many will read it, and love it!
A reading of this Niall story by ilikemyscars. It is a heartache, one of my favourite kinds of heartache.
Not the last of the audio fics I think, but the last at least (that I know of) with letters that I did not know before I started these. XD This is the last entry in combination-nc’s Karl Alphabet: Ö Är För Önskan (Ö Is For A Wish). This was also the hardest letter for me to pronounce (I think) hopefully Combo, you’ll think I did okay.
Also, this by far the most sad entry I’ve read so far (though I did know that going in to it) and I’d like to read something much happier next. If there is a next.
Anyway. Enjoy!
Oh, my goodness. First, this is actually the letter you pronounced the most authentically - this is what an Ö sounds like! And then I teared up, so much. I knew what was coming, of course, but it still hit me so hard once you got there. It is so different to actually hear it as opposed to only reading it, and I am so grateful that you let me hear it.
It means so much, too, that you have enjoyed this story, and so much that you wanted to read it, especially since it features Anders. It means so much that this story is still remembered, as well. Thank you. So, so much.
Two in one night! Ä Som I Älska (Ä As In To Love) from combination-nc’s Karl Alphabet. Hopefully I didn’t muss up the pronunciation too badly.
For a moment I was so caught up in your voice that I forgot what was to come, even though I wrote it - it is so completely captivating to hear this read out loud, and it makes me feel so much. I teared up; hearing this is so powerful, so heartbreaking, and I love it and am so, so deeply flattered and so, so delighted.
Another reading of fic. I enjoy doing these, even if it takes me way too many takes to do them. Also, if I haven’t mentioned it, I greatly enjoy Combo’s Karl Alphabet. Enough so, that I’ve done another letter. This time… one I couldn’t pronounce without Combo’s help.
So for her, here’s Å Är För Ånger (Å Is For Regret) from her Karl Alphabet. Hopefully I didn’t muss up the pronunciation too badly.
It is so amazing for me to hear you read this - to hear the feeling put into the words, to hear you manage the Swedish (I am impressed by how you handle the Ä!), and then the fact that you have chosen a story that means so much to me… it is so, so amazing.
Here is a reading of this wonderful ficlet by kisssanitygoodbye!
Well, since it is Fenris week, why not read some Fenris stories out loud as well? Meme times once more! I am still not so familiar with this recording thing, so there are some verbal stumbles, but I have tried to tame my accent (I tend to go wild with the r’s if I do not watch it) a bit as to make it all sound clearer. And for those of you that have asked about my accent; it is a little mutated Swedish accent. I used to spend a lot of time with an Irish guy and a Scottish family when I started to actually speak English, and while it does not sound like either of those, either, I think their speech influenced mine enough to mutate my accent a bit. So it does not really sound like the most common Swedish accent any longer, but that is alright.
And here are the links to the stories read:
Character Alphabet Study - Fenris
Tests of the Maker
Cast Off
All well worth the read! I think I wrote a rec for the Tests of the Maker series before, actually. I should do another round of those fic rec things some day! Fic Rec Friday should now be a thing on my tumblr, really.
I like to read out loud, so here is another round of the reading Dragon Age things meme! Complete with stumbling over words and reading mistakes because I am apparently unable to fully understand the program Rhi-Rhi Rhiannon recommended :|
It is in my blood to be bad at comprehending written instructions or even reading them properly sometimes, okay. If anyone from my father’s side of the family focus their brains at manuals for too long they turn into stone or something. True story.
