This is quite unrelated to audio but just something I’m excited about. I’m going to be getting a replica of Maid Marian’s riding jacket (the red one from last year) only in black satin. I had beaded up my other black jacket (see the pic on facebook) to the point where I can’t wear it to ‘normal’ non-Lotr functions; there are only so many ways you can explain having a huge white tree with 7 stars around it. This one will be back to being simple and thus can be used in more contexts. (Sith, Goa’uld, War & Peace, etc). In case you have no idea of what I’m talking about:
We have very similar builds/facial structure so her outfits tend to work on both of us.

Loading ...Interestingly, the latest book “The Key” had 65+ downloads just on the first day! I had no idea people would still care about it after I ended the audio portion and just went for a visual children’s book format.
The next one is in the works– all the photographs are done and it just needs to be put together ready for upload. Thanks everyone for supporting it as an e-book!

I had to repost this the painting is just so beautiful. Special thanks to the artist Jonathon Earl Bowser for allowing us to use it. The episode came out on thursday and the atmosphere of the underwater grotto is just spectacular. Stevie did a fabulous job and that was me you heard singing softly in the background creating that otherworldly effect. I sent it to him on a whim and he put it to excellent use!

Still getting those last few characters cast, it’s like pulling teeth sometimes!
Tom Riddle’s Diary
The scripts for the miniseries are done, most of the actors just transferred over from Snape’s Diaries, but there were a few questionmarks I have emails out to and 2-3 new characters / actors who dropped out which will be need to cast, but most of them are already slotted. I just hope they remember since it has been in the works for a while. David this means you as Hagrid! He has plenty to do with Tom framing him and all.
Help! I Tripped on My Cloak & Dagger
First three scripts are done and a post-producer was found (Thank you Moose! Big cheer!) so the cast call was put out today. I’m working on the next few scripts but they aren’t top priority right now since there is plenty of time.
Le Corsaire
Still waiting for lines from an actor who’s microphone went out so we’re waiting on a new one.

I had thought I knew what it would be about but then completely switched around because I was on the bus and had a brainwave (that often happens) while reading the Silmarillion. I was in the part where Galadriel is leading them over the mountains of ice and I thought “of course! King Frost”!
It is one of my favourite fairy stories, and I decided to combine it with the Snow Queen since they go together well and it is a November episode so it is ruddy cold. So far Worsley has been frozen solid and Atherton has run off with the Snow Queen. It’s up to Cecil to save the day I’m afraid.

Also finished Hogan’s Heroes Musical for the release this month.

In order to torture the audience yet further, this episode begins in the timeline of the beginning of the last episode, in other words a ‘meanwhile’. Yes, fifteen pages of suspense as to what happens with Atherton. This is a unique episode in that most of it takes place with Westbrook alone in a huge gothic mansion. Apparently Westbrook has a serious problem with talking to himself, but that is bound to happen in creepy old houses I suppose. Wandering around dark corridors while talking is much less frightening and no doubt he felt the same.
Yes, there is a climactic scene with sword battles and adventure, but most of the episode is very quiet and simply just plain creepy. It is based on a myth that has a lot of similarities to Bluebeard…need I say more? lol
In the end Westbrook arrives with the magical object (I won’t spoil that) and restores Atherton to life. Being maud instead of a group hug of course Atherton and Worsley begin arguing…

I added in a scene to the series 3 finale, so need to work on the series 4 premiere next. I also added more dead Atherton into the credits to give him a good sendoff and further convince hapless listeners that he is actually dead. I mean he is…but this is fantasy. I mean if Spock could do it…Please don’t send me a Goa’uld Sarcophagus in the post, I have it covered.
Fiona sent in her lines for a series 3 episode in which she plays a crucial role, it is one of the most fun eps in the series so far. It could almost spark a complete spinoff in my opinion!
