Got it! Very happy.
Loving the presentation, and assuming the more frequent male voice was you Mat? Very nice mixing, wish I'd gotten you to record mine now!
Unfortunately 'A rook house for Bobby' skips on my cd, but only a little.
Now for the scoring... mew. I definitely need an afternoon to sit and compare. I forgot about the voting when I signed up to do it!
I've got all the files mixed as separate MP3s, which I'll put online archivally when everyone's got their CDs in the mail. Yeah, the dorky-sounding voice that pops up more often is mine; also in two distorted forms (I got sick of listening to it so I started dicking around).
It weirds me out that England has the CDs before people in Maine, Atlanta and Florida. I could have WALKED to XK's house faster than this, and yet people in Wales are listening to these things... hmm.
Damn my lavish commitment to quality! I was going to upload a big zip tonight, but it's all in .wav format and therefore huge. I'll have to MP3 it and zip it up tomorrow.
I've just been listening again. I really want you to get the CD because I want to post my vote! It's so complicated. I have a different vote for the best six word story, and the best amalgamation. I could also vote on effort and amusement.
I have really enjoyed being a part of this; it's lovely to listen to everyone's voices and guess about them. For me this wasn't at all about making mine the best; I hardly ever am the best at anything. So I just adore being a part of something wicked; it's lovely to be listening to a work of art, and to somehow be 'in the gang'.
I'm sorry if I sound like a tit. I just got happy, lovely feelings about everyone when I listened to it again and in true American fashion I thought I should 'share'.
Okay, I'll create a big-arsed MP3 download an' slap it up tomorrow. I know this won't help Kali particularly, but at least The Others can get this thing.

Aw!
Concurrently I wish I'd been able to record my voice, and then don't - because it would have been nice on one hand but I'm incredibly shy on the other. Besides, Matt did such a sterling job on my SWS that I don't think I'd have done better, just agonised over intonation.
Well, I'll probably be getting them all back in the mail with the USPS "WE WERE ON A SMOKE BREAK AND DIDN'T FEEL LIKE DELIVERING THIS" stamp on them.
I've mailed a LOT of stuff to the States in my time, and I experience about a 10% failure rate. Maybe all my bad USPS karma has balled up into one big lump with this send.
Yes, voting! The sport of kings! The breakfast of champions! The right of all, from spring-heeled youth to wizened ancient! Voting! Voting! Voting! How wonderful it is!
