I really enjoyed your take on Murasaki's inner narration--snarky but also a little inclined to be too serious. Your voice definitely suits the understated tone of the fic. I also particularly liked your rendition of my favorite line in the fic (the one where Sei Shonagon bursts out saying, "How else are we to express ourselves?").

Thank you! This is the first piece of real f/b I've ever received on an audiofic! {treasures it}

P.S. The recording definitely got more nuanced when I redid it, so my old microphone crapping out turned out to be a happy circumstance!

Oh! I didn't get a chance to read the fic for Yuletide, and this was really fun listening to! I love the Murasaki snark at Sei Shonagon especially.

Thank you! It was a fun story to record--the snarkiness popped out more when I reread it for recording than it did the first time I read it.

You really did a great job bringing their dynamic to life. Thank you!

You're welcome! I'm glad their dynamic worked; it was my favorite part of the story. I like how despite their professed dissimilarities (and Murasaki's snarky, "It was only natural that people should contrast us, though I found it depressingly obvious"), they connect on writing, which is deeply important to them both.
