I'm not doing amplificathon but I'm all for some support! I am working today on editing Ch. 23 of my 30-hour podfic. It's all recorded now (thank goodness because I am a can't-talk-without-great-pain kind of sick at the moment) and part of me thinks I should be able to knock out the rest super-fast, but it is going sooooo slowly alas alas forever alas

Support for everyone! \o/

I'm working on a 20 hour podfic right now and am on chapter 4, about to reach the 4 hour mark (currently have 3:53:12 done).

I'm sorry your voice is hurting! And I totally get what you mean about thinking things should be fast but things actually taking forever. If I have any hope of finishing this podfic in time for amplificathon, I need to do about 10K every 3 days. And while I can do 10K in 3 days... I can't do much else, and doing that for 2 months straight will probably suck away my will to podfic, so we'll see if I can actually keep on top of that schedule. So far I'm already behind (my schedule has me finishing chapter 5 tomorrow but I'm still only halfway through chapter 4 :S).

Do you want to do some check ins here, to monitor our progress?

Yes, that would be nice. I'm doing 2-pass editing, first cutting out all the obviously bad stuff and then going through a second time to choose takes from the good stuff and stitch them together. Just finished pass 1 on this scene and I'm at the 11-min mark on stitching together. There's a few REALLY GREAT line readings right at the end, which is giving me life right now, but there are a lot of choices to make before I get there...

Another section done and I'm now up to 3:58:08!

Heh, I tend to pick the final line reading on the 1st pass, when I'm getting rid of my mistakes, but I don't read the same way you do. :) Then most of my time is spent on the 2nd pass editing where I cut out breathing/mouth noises and get the pacing down.

Finished my next part of the chapter and am now at 4:04:24 \o/

I think I'm going to stop for now so I can gather some tax info before heading over to my parents for dinner tonight. :)

I took a long break for yoga and cleaning and dinner, but now I'm back at it, and I'm up to 24:30 out of 26:00 and totally going to finish this scene tonight, hooray!
