Did you PM Xhonzi your e-mail address? If so (and assuming he's added you), you should get an e-mail with a link.

Yep, you should get an e-mail. I had to wait until I got home to add you, which I just did.

Ah, my bad. I wasn't sure if I was missing something.

Frink that pun is so bad even I thought of it.

Definitely :-)  Where would we be without bad puns?

Zombie, let me know if you're still having trouble getting into the folder. I sent you an invite to the address you sent me, then I saw a follow-up request to your google account address.

That should have worked, but you never know.

Oh, yeah, when Zombie asks, it's all sunshine and butterflies, but when I do it, it's all moonshine and scorpions!

There is no lingerie in space…

I'll take the moonshine if you don't want it.

Having heard the first clip: it sounds awesome! Much better than expected. Also weird to be hearing my words read back to me in an epic voice.

Anyway, this is a very good start. I guess I leave this to you: certain parts of the book are a bit redundant and long-winded, so feel free to just edit out whatever parts you think are appropriate. The book wasn't written to be spoken aloud so I imagine more areas than even in print would need to be reduced a bit.

But otherwise this sounds pretty cool.

Yeah, I vote that Akwat just reads the whole thing!

If you haven't listened to it, then get access to the directory and go do it.

Hopefully a few more examples will be up soon. I'll try to record mine this weekend. (famous last words)

Zombie- when do you think you'll be done with revisions enough that we would be able to use those for recordings?

005- when do think you'll man up and buy a copy of the book?

It could be a while. I won't have anything close to a rough draft until the end of July at least. My concern right now is more geared towards getting rid of some old content rather than adding some new content. Though I do have a lot of new content to add.

I think the question is, when will Mrs. [REDACTED] woman up and buy a copy for him?

So... I drag my heels for 3 years, and Audible beats me to it.  Ah well... maybe we can claim we helped Zombie decide to do it.

Yeah, it's super great. Professional impressionist, does a killer Lucas.

Actually, the producer of the audiobook came in a year ago and I got a free copy from him. Also I bought the ebook not long after this thread died. So there!

Oh yeah I got one of those too. Been meaning to listen to it.

This seems like a good place to ask.

In case you don't know I write the AWARD WINNING audio drama The Table Round- Audio Drama in the Age of Arthur  (free to OT.com members!)

I'm currently adapting the Leigh Bracket 1st draft ESB script into audiodrama format, to dramatize with my cast and crew.

Each episode of "The Table Round" ends with a little educational blurb about Arthurian legends. 

I'd like each chapter of "Star Wars 2" audio drama to end with the same, but need someone to write them and/maybe/or record them.

I'd be looking for short pieces, no more than a minute and a half in length, about Lucas's talk of sequals, the developement of ESB, Leigh Brackett etc. Whatever might interest listeners. 

Zombie is obviously the first man to ask, but I'd love to hear from anyone.

Let me know if this floats anyones boat.

Hmmm... would love to, but am afraid I would not meet any commitments I would make.

(maybe if you ever took my advice on the spelling of sequel...  grumble...)

Good luck, though!
