Ok for reals tho. Its on the Lorehammer podcast. Its a Warhammer 40k nerd podcast about 40k lore! They have Listener Lore episodes where listeners get to submit their own works to be read on the podcast. Many enter, few win. And I didn't expect to from the start. Yet here I am. The podcast is huge now too. Its topping charts left and right, and every week dozens more people listen and join in. To be among the venerable few with the honor to be chosen is astounding. Go give em a listen! They're great, its funny, good for working and having some background noise. They have longer episodes too, so if you got a long shift at work with nothing to do but sit in a patrol car, or behind a desk all alone, it'll keep you occupied for a while.
The episode is Listener Lore 13, and my story is the very first one. They only read 1/4th of it. (Its long as fuck yo) But they cut it off at a perfect time so its all good. Plus, I was expecting a bashening, for flaws to be picked at, grammar, settings, ideas... I was expecting devastation. They literally only had praise. They fucking loved it. I am so stoked.
Am I stroking my own ego here? Fuck yeah I am. I got a thing onto a huge podcast. Fuck yeah my ego is blown the fuck up right now. Do I care? Fuck no! I DID THING AND THING IS ON PODCAST AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WILL HEAR IT BEFORE THE MONTH IS OVER. FUCK YEAH ME!
So go check it out! Get you that Spotify, as they going exclusive by the end of the month, and give it a listen. Tell me what you think!
I could submit more, but they'll choose people who have not been selected before. I also sent it over a year before I got the email.
I don't need another reading. I'm sad they didn't read the whole thing but I understand entirely.
I guess it takes them a long time to sift through the submissions? A year is a long time without any news.
Also thanks. >///>
