Well not forgot about it, I still have the messages you sent me about it saved in my in-box so I see it every time I am in on deviant art, I have just not been in a reading mod lately, and I got so many fics piling up. :I
On that topic, read any interesting fics lately? My "well-written fiction reading-count" has significantly peaked ever since I signed up on fimfiction. ...I'd probably take a while to make a proper list, and I suppose it's not too useful if you're already behind your own schedule anyway.
...and as for my own works, well, there's always the mp3-file-audio-books for easy listening provided with each chapter.
I haven't gotten to read the fourth chapter yet because I've been pretty busy with other projects, trips, things and doodads, but I'll get to it as fast as possible.
No need to rush, it's not like I'm fast at putting out new chapters anyway.
...although I can not stress the fact enough that the thing is available as an audio-book, and as such, you could technically still read the story while climbing up the side of a mountain using your hands, teeth and an icepickle.
"Well, the audio-book would be a lot more interesting there was some sort of emotion in the voice. More specifically, if a real person were to read it."
Well, I would read it myself, if it weren't for a) I have a Ztrongh Gherman Acczzentt that I apparently can't notice myself. b) And if I read Dash's and Daring's lines... well, I'm male, and the characters are female. I dunno how well that works. c) I'm a perfectionist. I'd end up re-doing and re-re-re-re-re-doing just about every single line if I were to speak it myself. So just pushing a button and having it been transcribed automatically is much easier.
...for chapter 5 I'd strongly advise the use of the audiobook, though. I've went out of my way to add properly timed music for that chapter.
Eh, I still get more into the story when I read it myself without audio.
As for the "real person" voice, it can be anyone. The problem I have with the automated voice is that it seems to mispronounce a few things. I think it would sound better with your "Ztrongh Gherman Acczzentt", but that's probably because I like accents I don't hear often. (more specifically, those where I can actually comprehend what the person with the accent is saying)
And as I said, knowing the voice resembles the voice you gave to Alice... There's something kind of creepy about that. Alice the AI reading a My Little Pony fanfic about the fourth wall.

Also, it's better for me to really visualize what's happening, or get into the story if you will, when I read it myself.
When I hear the voice you used for Alice, it sort of changes the experience a little.
