Definitely! You're almost an honorary member, since anyone who can pronounce your name will gratuitously throw it into the conversation somewhere.

Also, om nom nom.

For some strange reason, that doesn't surprise me.

Unsuitable for publication on a family friendly site, you mean. They are perfectly suitable for publication in some place with lesser regulations and a love of uncloaking jokes. And I thought it was his toilet, not his shower...

No, that was Hookbill throwing Eonwe's dead body in a resevoir to hide the evidence. They can't prove anything.

Yay Ibrin! Another drone for the collective! Resistance is futile.

Gwath, never mind, I just hope the wine was good.

Didn't he end up burying the corpse in the sky because they were least likely to look there?

Oh no, it was definitely lightsabers in the shower. While skydiving.

Oh, right! I'd forgotten the skydiving part. Was this before or after a train ran over his house?

Was that the same train that ran over Lommy and Oddwen's houses? Or were they attacked by a stampede of oliphaunts? That's what it sounded like to me.

Hey I did that last time I participated! (For the record, I should also be able to write it correctly. )

Anyway sounds like you had fun, I would have liked to join but I wasn't anywhere near a computer so no can do. Looking forward to hearing the recordings, though!

A quick note first- The last software that Oddwen linked sort of worked, but because it messed up my Skype (made the call just sound like short blocks of sound, etc., and I think this happened to Oddwen too (and it may have had a virus), I had to uninstall it, so the large files of sound containing most of the call(s) are gone, and seem to have overwritten by the software as a large act of revenge so I can't even recover it).

Anyway, as I didn't realise this software had been working until the end, I recorded with the free one that I found, but it only records 15-minute sections, and at first didn't record my voice. So there are bits and pieces of the call that I do have.

OK... so here are some of the more... normal... recordings:

LOTR reading 1 (The Old Forest) - I was in this one, but for some reason the software only started recording my voice at a later time, so there are a few gaps in it.
LOTR reading 2 (In the House of Tom Bombadil)- I'm not in here, so it hasn't got any strange gaps

General discussion (before it went... erm...)
