it’s a testament to all the amazing work you do, jedi! (And also to the incredible talents of our resident podficcers, holy hannah I KNOW RIGHT *flails into the sunset*)
also – *gulp* ohboy, I really really hope your wife likes the way I wrote the Race of Men, ohboy nervous now!!!
He’re a litte peek.
I am utterly thrilled to bring to you the first chapter of my new long project: a podfic of Comes Around Again, by the marvelous scarletjedi. This story is one of my very favorites, and is actually the one I have wanted to podfic literally since the first day I started podficcing. However, I needed to develop several skill sets before I could attempt this project, including differentiating a bunch of dwarves in one recording, composing music, and many other things. I am so very happy to be starting at last. Thank you a thousand times to scarletjedi for recording permission, and to poplitealqueen, who kindly agreed to let me use her cover art.
I can make no guarantees as to how often this podfic is going to update. Each chapter is close to the longest thing I have ever recorded in one sitting, and there are other technical considerations that are going to make this one slower to produce than some other projects, but I can promise that I will podfic the entirety of the story eventually.
ShhhhrrrrriiiiiEEEEEEEKKKIIIIIINGGGG AHH!
NEW CHAPTER!
*throws hands in the air, shrieking* YES YES YES YESSSS
The newest chapter of Comes Around Again had me bouncing in my seat cackling like a crazed hyena. Alas, Legolas didn’t slip into the barrel with his husband but Gimli probably appreciated the view regardless.
Thorin on the other hand…
Chapter 16; escaping Mirkwood and arriving in Laketown
“You may yet have that chance,” Tauriel said, very close and Kili opened his eyes. “Not all agree with the decision of the King, and believe that your quest–the destruction of the dragon, is our fight as well. Most of the kingdom will be at the feast, and you may need to act quickly. Be prepared.”

“Quit hogging the boy,” Oin said, far too loud. He had his horn back, miracles of miracles, and it looked as if someone with no little skill had taken tool to it to finally hammer out the damage inflicted by the goblins. He pulled Gimli into a tight hug. “I knew you’d make our way back to us,” Oin said. “All the signs point to our victory.”
***
And there, atop the tallest tower, a Dwarvish windlance–a broken memorial to the destruction of the wrath of dragons.
Laketown was exactly that–a town built on Long Lake. Several man-made islands carried carious houses that pitched and tilted with the sway of the water. The roads were waterways, lined with footpaths and crossed by the occasional bridge. The whole town seemed to stink of poverty and fish.
LOLOL!
Hey, scarletjedi! Whatcha think? You up for that or what?
Actually, this was a complete coincidence (this time!!). We’ve tag-teamed our chapters once or twice, but on a few occasions – like today – it just seems to happen!
I AM NOT COMPLAINING. 😀
Aw Yiss
