Oh, that’s unfortunate to hear that you got hit by a copyright strike. Thought I guess it was to be expected to happen at some point.
Well, it’s a good thing I was downloading them as you released them, and I’ll have my local copies no matter what.
But I hope you can get them re-uploaded, for everyone else to enjoy, without too much trouble.
Anyway, I’ve been listening to random chapters and segments here and there, and really enjoying those, but I’m afraid I was never able to find the time to begin a full “re-read” until just recently.
I can’t really listen to audiobooks in the background while I’m doing other stuff, because that’s multitasking, and that ain’t easy for me. I can sometimes do so with podcasts, but not with audiobooks - I want to be able to specificly dedicate time to listen to an audiobook, and just focus on that, without distractions.
And I haven’t been able to dedicate the time to start a full, from-start-to-finish listen.
But I finally started listening to your project from the very beginning, with full focus and attention.
I closed my eyes, and let the audio immerse me into the world.
And now that I was able to start at the beginning and get a true feel of how everything ties in together, I’m able to appreciate things so much more.
I’m five chapters into Philosopher’s Stone so far, and I really love your editing so far.
The scene with the Dursleys sailing to the Hut On The Rock was especially notable to me, I actually got some cold chills from the stormy atmosphere you created.
Anyway, thank you for all the hard work you do to bring this project to life.
I’m sorry it took me this long to truly get into it, but I’m loving it, and I’m looking forward to going through with it to the end.
Good luck with finishing Deathly Hallows!
