That's what it is for me. Especially if one uses a really bizarre pronunciation (that legitimately does not exist) and the reader uses the real pronunciation.
Okay, maybe that wasn't the best way to phrase that question, but let me explain. I love reading aloud, I really do. People say I would be a good pick for audiobook-reading. But I digress... I got a voice-recorder app a while back. These days, I, well, find a fanfic that I really like and then read it while the app records it. Instant audiobook!
The point is, I got a YouTube account, and got permission from a few authors to put their read-aloud recordings on YouTube. And I found it's even more fun to post it then just keep it to myself.
So... If anyone knows a good fanfic, or has a good fanfic, that you would fancy me reading and posting for more fame, let me know!
Just to be clear, this is a totally free thing, no payment required, no catches. I only need the author's permission to post the recording. It'll be easier if it comes from a fandom I know.
So, just to let you know, recommended fandoms for these stories to come from would be Starlight Express, Cats, Phantom of the Opera, Warriors, Harry Potter, LOTR, Star Wars. I think that's it... I'm listing these because I know these fandoms and therefore have a better chance of more interest accurate character potrayal.
I really don't know what of my stuff classifies as good or not to other people. But you could pick any one of my fics (www.fanfiction.net/~thebigcat) and read them aloud if you like.
Thanks.
It's a really great idea.
Here's a link to the relevant story:
Worthless
Fandom: Worm
Rating: ... um, 15-ish? I think? Definitely a bit stronger than Contains Mild Peril (God I love the BBFC Ratings Board)
Specific Triggers (hah): severe bullying. Taylor is most precious bae but not everyone shares that opinion.
I have dome many things, but this is not one of them. I'll have to try this sometime. Could come in handy for travel.
If I find any goodfic (or just hilaribad fic) I'll send it to you.
While I don't have any fanfiction I want read aloud (in fact, I haven't written any fanfiction at all!), that reminds me. The Playscriptes are a thing. Why not do a couple more?
When people read something I wrote out loud. It just bothers me for some reason.
But for some reason I always find it embarrassing when someone other then me reads something out loud that I wrote.
That's what it is for me. Especially if one uses a really bizarre pronunciation (that legitimately does not exist) and the reader uses the real pronunciation.
