It’s time! OMG it’s finally time!
It feels like this day has been forever in the making, but at last I can proudly present episode one of The Dreamer’s Thread!
That’s right! We are finally LIVE! OMG! OMG! OMG!
Wow. What a great week! I added myself to Brian Rathbone’s Twitter Fantasy List (which includes writers, podcasters, etc) and discovered a whole new group of uh-mazing folks. I started following several of them and got a great shoutout from Mr. Rathbone himself. Thanks to his list, I have two new additions to the cast of The Dreamer’s Thread and a lot of stress taken off my mind!
Today marks another milestone for TDT. Audio production on episode one officially began today! While recording has been proceeding on several ends, today we finally had all the necessary clips from all the voices from episode 1 to begin putting it all together. YAY! This means that the very first episode should be good to go by the end of the week at the very latest! We are, however, holding off release until we’ve got a few episodes in the can. Most of the audio is sitting in files waiting to be stuck together with superglue, but there are a few bits missing from further episodes that have me biting my nails hoping that they show up in my inbox in the next few days.
I’m so excited right now I’m not even sure where to begin!
I sent two emails yesterday, in hopes of recruiting two more folks for TDT voices. When I got an unofficial yes from one I was thrilled. I woke up this morning to TWO official yes responses! And so, it is my extreme pleasure to announce to you that…

First of all, Texas is hot. And when I say hot, I don’t mean, “man I could really use a nice tall glass of water about now” hot, I mean “it’s so hot my face melted as soon as I stepped outside” hot. And everyone knows that when it’s ONE HUNDRED AND SIX DEGREES out there, that, of course, is the time when outdoor nature type activity is the best, right?
Okay, so July first might have been a touch overzealous as a launch date. I knew that when I said it. It might have been doable if it was just me doing the reading, but since it’s become a full cast recording, it was inevitable that the schedules of others would not allow for such a close deadline. Right now, the summer con season has artist Cheyenne Wright caught up in commissions, not to mention actual travel, so recording for his lines will not be able to start until the week of July 1st. And since his part is so integral to the story, we are setting the schedule around him. With luck, we can still launch in July, but I’d rather do it right and later than crappy and quickly.
And, all this is fine, as it turns out I’m actually going out of town for a few weeks myself. Hopefully by the time I get back I’l have lots of audio and promo stuff to work on.
So that is how it stands. Things are starting to come together and I am very happy with the progress.
Okay, I can officially officially say it now! Dr. James D. Priest, author and narrator of Kirins: The Spell of No’an is a part of The Dreamer’s Thread cast! I have thusly added him to the links list to the left there, under CAST WEBSITES. Some of the folks involved here don’t have websites as yet, but when they do, rest assured, they will also be included here.
I am so thankful for the wonderful people who are stepping up to help me out. I sincerely thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
So, yours truly was quite productive today. This morning I obtained coffee in a timely manner and immediately set to work…and was then ordered to put on real clothes and make myself presentable…but then I got right back to work.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
*ahem*
So yes, I twittered yesterday about the great news I had about TDT, and said I would blog about it today. I hate to be called a liar, so here’s my news of WIN:
