Comment on [Podfic] Red Light's Already Off

    Oh, sweetie, you are so welcome! Thank you so much for continuously taking the time to give me such lovely comments, which, as someone who's just finally dipping her toes into taking an active part in the fandom community, are the best gift I could wish for.

    I'm overjoyed that I could bring new life to something that you love, and that it came at a good time for you. I've been enjoying some of your other recs as well — rediscovered a few Sterek faves, and recently started listening to Thilia's recording of (not so) Pure Imagination, plus after looking up The Adventurer and seeing its amazing cast versus your description of it, I'm desperately curious to watch it.

    Thank you for being so warm and wonderful and supportive!

    1. I seriously have no idea how I missed the fact that there's a recording of (not so) pure imagination. I went through the entirety of Sterek podfics on ao3 several times, and I love the story (I spent a ridiculous amount of time searching for it after I lost the link the first time). But, thanks for letting me know! Just so you know, even though Thilia is undoubtedly good, I still wouldn't complain if you decided to record it, too (But seriously, only record what you feel like recording).
      I want to tell you so much about "The Adventurer" movie. I want to get into discussions about it ^^; The comment section isn't the perfect place for that, so I'll refrain anyway, but let me know if you decide to actually watch it :) Maybe we can figure out a way to communicate outside of comments eventually, and in that case, I would love to discuss it with you :)

      Thank you again for this podfic. I was screaming at my best friend via Discord for about an hour after I found it, hopelessly overwhelmed with emotion. It seriously made me so happy :)

      Also, the main reason why I still take the time to leave comments on your work, and will continue to do so, is because you appreciate the comments you get, and you answer them :) I find myself getting less motivated to comment if someone never answers any comment, and tend to leave shorter comments in those cases. You're just a very nice person, on top of being very good at what you do, so it's really easy to tell you how well you did on each of your works :)

      Also, I really appreciate the work you put into those podfics, whcih deserves recognition. So, thank you for all of them :)

        Thank you, thank you, thank you for commenting! I knew long before I started recording that podfics just don't get much feedback, and it's not a primary reason that I podfic or post, but it's still so rewarding and inspiring to receive.

        I myself am not nearly as good about leaving feedback as I would like to be (I'm trying to improve!), but I treasure each comment that I get, and I write back because I want to make sure you know how much it means to me, and of course, because you also seem like a wonderful person to talk with.

        That said, just as you urged me to only record what I feel like, please don't feel that you need to listen to podfics of mine that don't align with what makes you happy — I know that not all of our ships match up (I got into Avengers a few months before the first movie was released and imprinted on Steve/Tony, and while I completely understand the Stucky love, I just can't make the switch to a conflicting OTP) and the list of things I've started or would like to podfic is a pretty eclectic mix of fandoms, to say nothing of personal tastes about content even within a shared fandom or ship, and I wouldn't ever want you to feel pressured to engage with a story that you don't think you would enjoy.

        I have finally given in and created accounts on Tumblr, Dreamwidth (old school, I know), and Discord, and am still AceOfTigers on all the things (and who knows, Twitter may yet come to pass as well). That said, I know very little about how to use any of them and have done truly nothing on them so far, plus I picked a terrible time to start because work has been bananas for the last few weeks and promises to continue in the same vein for several more! Still, feel free to hit me up in any of those places, and maybe I'll be able to figure them out and sync up with you somewhere outside an AO3 comment thread. :D

        Wishing you a week of good things!

        1. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Okay, first of all, SORRY that it took me so long to reply - I was INCREDIBLY EXCITED to read that you might actually be reachable outside of ao3, but you caught me at a really bad time ^^; (I was away and busy all of last week). I'm back now and pretty much immediately tried to find you, but couldn't :/ I don't have Dreamwidth, and Discord tells me it needs the numbers behind your name for me to find you; an ao3 comment thread might not be the best place to exchange those, so I tried tumblr and failed utterly. All I could find are people talking about how great your podfics are (which I obviously agree with, so that made me very happy ^^ )

          If you do have a tumblr page, is there any way for you to share the link?

          Also: THANK YOU for the awesome reply and for letting me know all those things. I really want to talk to you about a few things in detail, so I'm waiting with that til we're able to talk outside of these comments :)

            MY FRIEND, you are back!!! Please don't feel the need to apologize for having to deal with Real Life; I understand completely. Regarding other forms of contact, clearly I'm a crotchety old troglodyte somewhere deep in my soul, because I'm still figuring out this social media stuff — it seems like I locked my tumblr down so much that I'm basically unfindable! I think I've fixed that now, but I'm at aceoftigers.tumblr.com, and I'm actually already following you!

            I'm super excited to chat with you more! Unfortunately, Real Life continues to happen to me as well, so please forgive me if it also takes me a while to get back to you sometimes. Have a great day!

        2. OH MY GOODNESS, I just realized that I can share the link to my tumblr as well -.-; Yeah, silly me.

          https://lillelullaby.tumblr.com/

          If you want to find me there :) I'm not very interesting, obviously, but you can contact me there if you like :)
