Sraffie Book-on-Tape?

Postby heatheradair » Sun Mar 12, 2006 6:52 am

So i had an idea that people seem to be interested in:

I propose that each Sraffie (hint: particularly if you frequent #btts!) reads a chapter or two of an HDM book, so we can compile our own audio recording of it! It seems natural to start at the beginning, so I thought we could try NL first.

Personally speaking, I'd like to have each individual give his or her own little unique performance - complete with mispronunciations and accents and all that. Perhaps I'm biased because I say "Leera" - whatever. Opinions please?

I already started reading a chapter, so I'll sign my name next to it. But if you would like to participate and actually think you'd complete the project, please post and claim a chapter!

(Part One: Oxford)
one - The Decanter of Tokay [MelancholyMan]
two - The Idea of North [abc]
three - Lyra's Jordan [krebbe]
four - The Alethiometer [moonflash]
five - The Cocktail Party [Anoria]
six - The Throwing Nets [Ian]
seven - John Faa [Brynjarbjorn]
eight - Frustration [Merlyn]
nine - The Spies [angelofboox]

(Part Two: Bolvangar)
ten - The Consul and the Bear [jessia]
eleven - Armour [Huginn]
twelve - The Lost Boy [hermit]
thirteen - Fencing [Enitharmon]
fourteen - Bolvangar Lights [Psy-Tychist]
fifteen - The daemon Cages [DutchCrunch]
sixteen - The Silver Guillotine [Jamie]
seventeen - Witches [Cookiemonster]

(Part Three: Svalbard)
eighteen - Fog and Ice [heatheradair]
nineteen - Captivity [zemarl]
twenty - À Outrance [Enitharmon]
twenty-one - Lord Asriel's Welcome [heatheradair]
twenty-two - Betrayal [Will]
twenty-three - The Bridge to the Stars [moonflash]

It wouldn't be copyright infringement if it weren't publicly posted and we all have our own copies of the books, right?

Copyright? We're just fans. Discussing the books. And we can just quote really well. Whole-chapter well.

Fantastic idea! I'll get back to you which chapter I'd like to do

If you want to know what makes me sad
Well it's hope, the endurance of faith
A battle that lasts a lifetime
A fight that never ends

Walking in the countryside
It seems that the winds have stopped
Tell my mother I am sorry
And I loved her

Let's get something done first. :) If it's a masterpiece then we can ask perhaps. Like THeather said, it's not exactly a hot issue.

I'm thinking about either chapter four- 'The Alethiometer' or chapter seven- 'John Faa'

chapter seven has one of my favorite quotes (which i've probably posted about a bit too much lately in #btts?) - "I see the Master as a man having terrible choices to make; whatever he chooses will do harm, but maybe if he does the right thing, a little less harm will come about than if he chooses wrong. God preserve me from having to make that sort of choice."

let me know when you decide :)

I might do the first chapter. However, I have a dumb accent, no recording device, and my copy of GC is currently on loan. So, maybe...

I suppose. We don't have to do the whole chapter in one recording, right? Can we go paragraph by paragraph or would it be too choppy?
