Greetings, dear friends! I come to you today with more information on the Ghost Trick Musical Project! When I last brought it up, we were looking into beta singers only. For anybody interested in joining in on the final product, I now have much more interesting news: auditions are open!

More accurately, certain auditions are open. You see, to ensure that things run smoothly, we're opening parts for auditions as the songs those parts sing in is finished. For example, if Character A sings in Songs 1, 2, and 3, then Character A won't open for auditions until those three songs are done. As a result, not all parts are available right now. We're currently looking for voice actors for all non-singing parts as well as our only finished singing role thus far.

Audition Information )
And there we have it! Good luck to everyone who auditions! And to everyone else, look forward to more Hush, Hush soon! :)

Hey, folks! ZeldaQueen here, and I have a few things to update you all about.

As you may have noticed, I've got the Crescendo sporking up and running again! I'm afraid I've been neglecting it between my other sporkings and the holiday rush at work, however it's still ongoing. I've got a few more chapters in the works, so it should chug along nicely now.

As a head's up for folks, the next few chapters of my various sporkings may be a little different in terms of font and such. The reason for that is because I'll be doing most of them in a Word document on my netbook, since it's easiest for me to get stuff done during the commute to and from work. Somehow, when I get home, I'm too exhausted to focus and get anything sporked. So I plan to seize the free time I have while out during the day and get that done. Hopefully a slight change in font isn't a bad trade-off for sporkings being a bit more regular, but if it ever gets too difficult to read or if the spacing is wonky, please let me know! I'll do what I can to adjust it.

I've been falling a bit behind on answering things and getting stuff done in general, I'm afraid. There is a pretty exciting reason, though - my city's con is going to be in a week or so, and I'll be running my first panel! And it's a topic that sporking has well-prepared me for - terrible fanfiction sex scenes! *cheers* I have chosen a number of scenes that I think are suitably shocking, while not so terrible that they'd send the readers running for the hills. Should be fun.

For those of you following along with the Ghost Trick Musical Project, we're about caught up with the beta recordings. We still need someone to sing for Dandy though, if there are any tenors interested in doing so for fun. We are in need of more composers interested in helping us get more of the songs finished, though, so if there are any music-makers in our midst, feel free to help out! After the con is over, I'm also going to get things moving for the auditions of non-singing parts and singing parts that are ready to go, so keep your eyes open on the site if you're interested in that!

Finally, I'm not sure how many folks here are also on [livejournal.com profile] das_sporking, but due to a recent temporary shutdown of the comm, all sporkings I'm doing over there will be on hiatus. I'm really sorry about this. The whole thing is incredibly disappointing and I'm very sorry it had to happen. To everyone worried that the comm will be deleted, however, rest assured that is not happening. Mervin is simply taking a leave to cool down. She, Ket, Gehayi, and I will be sitting down and figuring out what renovations are needed. Once that's taken care of, things should start moving again.

Everyone, thank you so much for your patience! Over here it's still full steam ahead with Crescendo, hopefully followed by Chosen (and boy howdy, does that need a sporking!) so hope you all hang around and have fun!

Hello, hello, ladles and gellymints! It is time for another check-in for the City of Ashes group sporking. As before, this is the time to send me your sporkings if they're done and, if they're not, to drop me a message or otherwise let me know what's going on. Please, feel free to contact me if there are any questions or concerns about the sporking. The deadline for this round of turn-ins and check-ins is February 15th, so please get in touch with me by then.

If you have not, I highly recommend checking up on the sporking list status and making sure the info for your chapters is up-to-date. If I have down, say, that your sporking hasn't been received and you sent it to me months ago, please let me know.

Sadly, I have also re-opened several chapters due to the sporkers vanishing. The now-available chapters are:

  • Chapter 15: The Serpent's Tooth
  • Chapter 17: East of Eden
If there is anyone who would like to take up those chapters, please let me know. Or, if the people assigned to those chapters were still interested in sporking them, please let me know ASAP.



On an unrelated sporking note, someone in the comments section for the Fifty Shades of Grey sporkings mentioned a book by the title of Gabriel's Inferno. It was another Twilight fanfiction that became published, this one ripping off following a theme of Dante's Inferno. Being the curious sucker I am, I checked it out.

MOTHER. OF. GOD.

You know, it's probably not the most pretentious pile of hamfisted, overly-symbolic dog crap I've ever read, BUT BY GOD IT'S TRYING FOR THAT POSITION! Dear God! Bad enough the Suethor apparently doesn't get anything out of The Divine Comedy except for "Beatrice/Dante = OTP!!!" Bad enough we're supposed to buy Edward Cullen Gabriel Owen Emerson's nine million descriptions of Bella Swan Julianne Mitchell as "Beatrice" to count as meaningful literary allusions. BAD ENOUGH THEY GIVE THE BELLA SWAN EXPY A FUCKING FAUX-STIGMATA. We also get to endure the expy of Jacob, who is even more of a bastard than he ever was in Eclipse (safe to say the Suethor is a diehard Bella/Edward fan). Oh, and guess what? LEAH'S DRAGGED INTO IT. The fucking Suethor made her Jacob's girlfriend (sorry, "fuckbuddy" and dear God but they use that phrase too much to describe her!) who is catty and spiteful and cruel to poor Bella. Oh, and she's eeeeevil too. In fact, the Suethor spares no expense to show us how eeeeevil she is. She's so eeeeevil that she engages in anal sex with Jacob, hits on Bella, and oh yeah, is bisexual and dumps Jacob for a girl. BECAUSE NOTHING SAYS EEEEVIL LIKE DEVIATING FROM WHAT'S CONSIDERED SEXUAL NORMALCY, AMIRITE?

So yes. This thing is going down. I don't know when, but IT WILL BE SHOVED UNDER THE FROZEN LAKE WITH SATAN. Which is a more sound Inferno allusion than most of what goes on in that book!



On one final, non-ranty and non-sporking note, I've gotten involved with an online project known unofficially as the Ghost Tricks Musical. For those of you who have heard of the Turnabout Musical project, yeah it's an unofficial offshoot of that. It's a different crew, but our goal is the same - to make an online radio drama/musical of the game Ghost Trick. I'm not sure how many folks here are fans of that game (though I highly recommend it - ton of fun, and by the same folks who did the Ace Attorney series), but if anyone is interested in joining in or following along, please feel free! Our headquarters (so to speak) are at this thread here, so welcome!

And that should be all for now. Good luck to everyone on their recaps, hope life is going well, and enjoy February!
