When I read this story at sga_flashfic, I never wanted it to stop. Because it works, so completely that you absolutely cannot see the join. The character voices are spot on, it's funny and sweet and just right in a way that still makes me grin stupidly. Which is tricky when you're trying to read. So even if you're not going to download, go have a read of it. Because this story just can't get enough love.

Also, because I know you like to laugh, I thought I should demonstrate the dangers of reading a story you love. (30 second outtake)

Have now listened to the full thing, and - awww! So much love! I've only ever read one Pern book, and wasn't too terribly taken with it - I did like the fic, a lot, but it's still not my world. The way you read it, though, the world and the atomsphere at the hatching grounds and Rodney all came through so clearly that I couldn't help but feel at home. ♥

And I hope this isn't a weird kind of compliment to give, but I actually listened to it last night, when I was so tired but too nervous to sleep, and it helped. A lot. It was - calming. It took my mind off of all my own problems, and helped me lose myself in something sweet and fun, and after that I could actually go to sleep. So. Thank you, not only for the lovely reading, but for the hours of sleep I'm not sure I would've gotten without this recording!

I adore the Pern books, and I thought xparrot caught them perfectly, so I'm really glad the atmosphere came across.

Oh, that's the most wonderful compliment! So glad you managed to sleep at least a little and so happy I helped :D Thank you for telling me!
