Bonds-Audio Version

So I've never done this before and I hope it works, but a few days ago I made an audio version of Bonds. I'm not really sure why-I think I was bored and wanted to see what it would sound like- but to my amazement, I actually managed to make it all the way through it, so I stored it on my computer and thought I would share. It's not a superb quality audio-I mess up a few times and there's faint background noise- but I was actually happy it didn't come out worse. So here's to hoping this link works: Bonds , for your enjoyment.

I'm hoping over the course of the next few weeks I'll be able to do this with a few other stories as well. I think I'll stick only
to the oneshots though; reading "Through Shadow and Fire" or even "Final Journey"(I may do that one in parts)
would probably prove too much for my voice. I'm not a very natural speaker.

"Through Shadow and Fire" playlists

I know I haven't added anything here in a while, which I know is no excuse because it's not like I don't have enough material- I have 30+ stories posted on fanfiction.net already, not to mention scraps and bits I would love to share. Unfortunately, I cannot find it in me to actually talk about any of my stories right now, but I decided I would share my "Through Shadow and Fire" playlists, which is put on repeat whenever I work on the story. Some songs are on there for the lyrics, others for themes, or the general mood they create. Some deal with Edmund and Peter's brotherly bond, while others hint at emotional turmoil and angst. So, in no particular order:

1)Never Will I Break- 3 Doors Down
2)Walk On- U2
3)Cry-James Blunt
4)The Call-Regina Spektor(I know, I know, how original am I, using songs from Narnia soundtracks? But I can't help myself)
5)Bring It On-Steven Curtis Chapman
6)The Shadow Proves the Sunshine- Switchfoot
7)Live Free Or Let Me Die-Skillet
8)From Where You Are-Lifehouse
9)Quasimodo-Lifehouse
10)Walk by Faith-Jeremy Camp(I thought this was most fitting for the Edmund-centered chapter, 'To Suffer and Be Strong')
11)Brothers Under the Sun-Bryan Adams
12)Changes-3 Doors Down
13)Citizen/Soldier-3 Doors Down
14)Viva la Vida-Coldplay
15)Even If- ZOEgirl
16)It's Not My Time- 3 Doors Down
17)There Will Be a Day-Jeremy Camp
18)You Can't Take Me-Bryan Adams
19)Things Will Go My Way-The Calling
20)Falling Inside the Black-Skillet
21)Storm-Lifehouse
22)Praise You In This Storm-Casting Crowns
23)Simon-Lifehouse
24)Light On-David Cook
25)Permanent-David Cook
26)When I'm Gone-3 Doors Down
27)I Walk Beside You- Dream Theater
28)Choose the One Who Loves You More-Copeland
29)To Know That You're Alive-Kutless(this is really the ultimate 'Through Shadow and Fire' song.)

My goal, once "Through Shadow and Fire" is actually finished, is to go back and make a playlist that corresponds with the entire story- one song per chapter and post it here. Eventually, I hope to make a playlist for all my stories, even the one-shots, though I'm sure those will be only a handful of songs each.
