[COLD READ][PODFIC] Tragedy is Not the End

Cold Read Podfic of the story of the same name by Hobbsy3.
Original Summary:
"When Sizhui, Jingyi, and Zizhen are captured with Jin Ling at the Guanyin Temple, they're sure that Hanguang Jun and Wei Wuxian will fix everything - until Su She stabs Lan Wangji through the stomach, and everything falls apart around them. In a last, frantic attempt to undo the damage Jin Guangyao has done, Wei Wuxian activates a deadly array to send the four juniors back in time, sending them to the morning of Jin Ling's one-month celebration. With the fate of everyone and everything they love in their hands, Sizhui, Jin Ling, Zizhen and Jingyi race to prevent the ambush at Qiongqi Pass and the subsequent fallout, but Jin Guangyao has returned from the future as well, and he has no intention of letting what he wants fall through his hands a second time."
ANNOUNCEMENT: I am still recording this, but with school out and family in town for summer the cold reads have taken a back burner. Updates will be sporadic, but will still happen until school starts in August and I have time and space to get them done! Thank you for your patience!

Hello, hello, hello!!!

So I'm working on the Cold Read of A Narrow Bridge and to keep myself sane I'm also recording this. Alternating basically, because I love A Narrow Bridge but it gets really angsty and heavy and sometimes I need something a little more light and action/plot driven and faster paced. So I chose this amazing work to record and break it up. Keep myself fresh, ya' know?

Onwards and upwards!

Thank you to anyone who left a comment or kudos. I know it's silly but it helps me stay motivated to know people are actually listening!

Also I've been sick so I'm sorry my voice is a bit scratchy and stuffy but I'm sick of being sick and eager to get more chapters out!

Yay! Glad to see that this is being podficced, I started reading it ages ago but then never finished it, cuz it was SO LONG, and I just didn't have the time and energy to devote to it anymore. But I remember it had some very funny moments, esp little Jingyi describing Wen Ning jumping when rescuing him ("boing, boing, boing" - it's funny the way some lines are so memorable). Anyway there's so much fic and so little time, and I love it when these super long epics are made into podfic, that way I can listen to it while I'm at work.
By the way I was able to download chapters 1-3 (haven't listened to them yet, I just downloaded to listen to while I'm at work tomorrow), but chapters 4-7 say we need to request access.

I love this fic and am so glad someone has decided to podfic it! But I went to download the chapters you've posted so far, and it looks like you c/ped the wrong links - the one in chapter 4 goes to chapter 5, then the one in chapter 5 goes to chapter 6, and both chapters 6 and 7 link to chapter 7. So there's no chapter 4!

  I'm sorry about that. Posting them all at once must have made me mix them up.

      It's such a good fic. And like most long ones, I can see why it doesn't have a podfic yet. It's a bit intimidating with its length. But I am COMMITTED!!
      Like Lan Zhan is to Wei Ying!!!

  Sometimes I do wonder if I'm really just shooting this ofd into the void and am the only one listening to it. Because I totally am excited to get to the point where I can just sit and listen to this fic all the way through....>_<

I'm so happy you did a long fic. I've been listening non-stop while gardening. The best part is I didn't know this story.

I'm so glad I found this podfic! The story is so good and your narration is simply wonderful! I especially love the times you share your opinion about the characters or simply ramble about how much you hate Su She 😀.
Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you so much for doing this! This is my absolute favorite Untamed fiction and I've been wanting to reread it, but I've been too busy to sit down and do it, so being able to listen to it is a fantastic alternative. You have such a lovely voice too!

Hi LiangYuLian, thank you so much for all your hard work on this! I just wanted to let you know that someone else has also asked to do a cold read of this, and as it's been over a year since you've had a chance to update and as they're someone who has been a long-term supporter of my stories I've said that they can go ahead too. I also wanted to say that I'm sorry I haven't put a link to the podifc in the note of the main fic yet - I was sure that I had, and i didn't realise until the other person asked for permission and I checked the notes. I'll fix that ASAP. Thank you again for all of the love you've shown this story and all your hard work, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
