I know the voice contest is coming to a close, but Barb's little hint of having the winner asked to voice in a possible trailer got me thinking...
Why not a radio play for Xylia?
I'm familiar with another popular comic called Red String (I'm sure some of you out there heard about/read it :3 ), and they have a fan made radio play where voice actors bring the comic to life with well.. Their voice. :D
It seems a tiny bit unfair for those who don't win the grand prize and feel left out from all their efforts (NOT saying that the contest is negative in ANY WAY), so perhaps Xylia could try out a similar thing like Red String?

I can't fly without wings. I can't eat eggs (can't stomach the sulphur.) And I can't knit with my toes. *grin* But I can spoof with the best of them!
Consider yourself in - I 'll post parts once I get the whole thing written. About half to go yet.
And thanks - when I hit a slump, as happens partway through, often enough, kind words perk me back up and keep me going. The same with Barb too, so be sure to tell her the three favorite things you like abut Xylia Tales!

Actually, silly me, I forgot, you won Tychia, you know what your parts will be. :) But thanks to my trusty List O' Participants, I am now back on track. Just in time to go sleep, go figure. *wry grin*
OK, almost done, I've just got to check and make sure I've got enough parts for every vox contest entrant to get a turn, if they all would like to help us play with this spoofiness. :)
And it's been an interesting challenge, stitching such diverse scenes together into one script, let me tell you!
*wry grin* I wish I could give everybody lots more lines. But the goal is to keep it short enough to be manageable, give it something at least vaguely resembling a plot, and give everybody at least one turn to say their part, in this lovely absurdity. In that, I think I will succeed. :)
Big thanks to Barb for letting me do this - it's writing therapy combined with fun, for me. *wry grin*
I would submit that we change the reply deadline to July 31, giving people time to see the official announcement on Monday's update and a week of days to make a decision so that anyone interested has a chance to see the announcement and enter.
That's cool, you have more experience on that than me. :)
Revised deadline:
And it's Up! See Casting Call thread, and Spoof thread! At Casting Call thread, vox contest entrants are requested to reply by 7-31-09, to say if they can participate in recording the Spoof. Let the
next stage begin!
When I have some time to play games, I love strategy games or wargames or city-builders. Especially "antiquity-like" ones. :-D Caesar IV is one of my favorites. Good graphics for a city-builder ! And it's interesting, you have to look after many t...
For those of you who have been wondering, I go into surgery today for a thyroid tumor. The surgeon decided that my entire thyroid needed to come out in order to simplify the surgery. Despite the hope I have, I am afraid. I do not wish to die and ...
