Audio book readers:
I'm planning to record an audio version of Children of Doro, but debating whether to leave in the footnotes.
They carry information that absolutely deepens the character of my neurotic AI narrator, but audio books often leave them out.
If left in, they're coded with the word "footnote" and pauses.
Alternately, when I first sent my agent the manuscript, they were embedded in the body of the MS - so they could also just be read as asides.
As a listener, any preferences?
@MLClark
Hitch-hikers or discworld style works for me. Read as asides, generally.
@stueytheround Oh, good, I was hoping someone would root for asides. 😠And now you've got me itching to relisten to some Hitchhikers or Discworld! Got a favourite text in good old Discworld?
@stueytheround Oh, that's such a generous text. Great call! :)
