This is just a proof-of-concept for something that's been bouncing around in my head for a little while. A demo? Is that what we call this sort of thing? So it's got rough-draft music, a first pass of narration, no editing beyond cutting out misreads — mostly I just want to see what would go into making a podfic version of this fanfic I've been writing over the past year. I may wind up casting actors for the dialogue. Not sure yet. I am decidedly not an actor myself, but I insist on at least trying to read the narration anyway. It's a little melodramatic, but the story is melodramatic, and the original game is melodramatic, so it's not entirely my fault!

You can read the fic, starting with this prologue (it is unfinished but currently sitting at 19 chapters), here:

Did you know that I'm actually a writer more than I'm a musician? Now you know!

Sample Demo: Darkness and Starlight Prologue (Final Fantasy VI podfic)

This one has actual dialogue and multiple characters. It's a good test to see whether or not I can do this by myself or if I should try to get some of my more-skilled actorly friends to voice the dialogue. There is a lot more fic where this came from; we'll see how/if I want to proceed with the audio version!
