What a GREAT GREAT honor for MOONBURN to be featured with @sidequestingpod this month, too!! I couldn't be more excited about this collaboration!

If you're looking for another fiction podcast with truly amazing people at the helm, incredible storytelling, and so much of that special sauce and joy to make your heart sing, check out Sidequesting wherever you get your podcasts!!

The official show art for Hit Singles just dropped! Our show's Audible page looks much livelier now! 😅

The more I look at it, the more I think it perfectly captures our show.

Fun. Colorful. Quirky. Bursting at the seams with personality. Showcasing each of our five leads. Even a little musical in and of itself.

I'm so excited for you all to hear this show.

(And if you haven't already, definitely add Hit Singles to your library, or pre-order the show. The first few weeks make or break new releases, and I think we can make this one something really special. 🙏🤩)

We're adapting Frankenstein next year, and we want to cast entirely Trans VAs! All roles are paid $35/hour of recording time. No previous VA experience required! We're using this call to form a roster to cast specific characters from.

March storygraph wrap up! Lots of nonfiction this month. Woodworking (which is fiction) was definitely my best read this month.

In honor of our penultimate episode's release tomorrow, please enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at our deeply silly recording session for episode 7: The Case of the Migratory Moustache. (Spoilers for 2x06 and 2x07 obviously)

scrolling down my normal looking dash seeing my mutual's posts about how much they hate the new update like I'm in a zombie movie, forced to watch in horror as people undergo terrible transformations, all the while not realizing I've already been bitten

The Case of the Party Evening Gone Wrong.

There's mice loose in 224B Baker Street!

[ID: a digital drawing of Madge, James and Hampton from Fawx & Stallion as Mice. Madge is a lilac mouse, wearing a little hat with violets. James is a tri-coloured mouse wearing a green ascot and holding a little walking stick. Hampton is an orange Texel Mouse wearing a blue bowtie. They're sitting around a little map cut out with tacks and red strings arranged on it. Two glasses filled with a drink are in the background. /End ID]

Been seeing a lot of love for audio fiction on my feed lately, (probably because I follow multiple podcasts but that’s beside the point), and I wanted to add my bit.

Audio fiction people please never stop doing what you do, you are amazing.

I grew up listening to audiobooks every night as I fell asleep as far back as I can remember, and even now most nights I’ll listen to a podcast or audiobook as I drift off, it’s such a big part of my life.

I love stories, I struggle to find time to do a lot of reading at the moment but I can listen, I can always listen. I have laughed and cried alongside the characters I love, living their stories in my ears.

Although the stories I personally want to tell are mostly visual, through my comics, I never want there to be a time where audio fiction isn’t so so important to me.

It is a wonderful thing, never stop making it you wonderful people.

Hey! I never talk about this because it's technical and not the most interesting thing in the world, but are you keeping track of your sound effects and leaving proper attributions?

When you're on freesound TUCKED away into the corner is this thing

ALT

It's the deed!

Basically this baby comes in 3 flavors (there are more but you'll have to google them)

• Creative Commons 0: You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the sound, even for commercial purposes, all without the need of asking permission to the author. [Basically free reign]
• Attribution: You are free to share (to copy, distribute and transmit) and to remix (to adapt and modify) as long as you credit the author of the sound. [Free reign so long as you attribute]
• Non-commercial: You are free to share (to copy, distribute and transmit) and to remix (to adapt and modify) as long as you credit the author of the sound and do not use the sound for commercial purposes. [If you wanna sell your stuff you will likely have to buy this one, otherwise AVOID]

THIS LAST ONE UP HERE ^^^ Is the reason I can't sell InCo. I have so many of these sounds in there under this agreement!

Some deeds do not allow you to modify sounds, others allow you to modify so long as you leave a detailed description on how it was modified.

An Attribution should look something like this:

Warm acoustic guitar by finnskog -- https://freesound.org/s/795725/ -- License: Attribution NonCommercial 4.0

Freesound.org auto generates them for you!! I think ZapSplat might too.

Attributions should be easily accessible wherever you distribute your show. I put mine at the end of my show notes under the transcript link. But I've also put it in my transcript in the past.

A little over a year ago, my friends and I got to start this incredible, amazing, fulfilling audiodrama journey called MOONBURN. It's a celebration of queerness and Chosen Family and growing up and the power of love, friendship and joy.

And now, I feel so endlessly lucky to be working with all of them again to CONTINUE this story, this world, this journey with SEASON TWO!

If you haven't already, check out SEASON ONE of MOONBURN wherever you get your podcasts-- catch up, reach out, and help us get ready for a brand new season of love and joy!
