Snapecast - an appeal to Honour our Snape

[sigune]

I would like to launch an appeal to you:



In their latest episode, the staff at snapecast has asked their listeners to compose epitaphs for Snape. I am really not good at this sort of thing, but I know that many of you are, and therefore I would ask you to please, please contribute a short crazy poem or a snarky line or two.

Send your epitaphs to severus (at) snapecast (dot) com; or if you like to send a soundbite, you can phone Snapecast through Skype; their username is (surprise!) "snapecast". The deadline is 11 August.


For myself, I clearly haven't recovered yet from the blow that was Deathly Hallows, and all I could come up with was a bitter


Here lies Snape.
By life a complex character, he died a stereotype.
May his fate remind you of the harm a Mary Sue can do.


I know I'm not exactly doing Snape a favour here, so I was hoping that one of you might.

I will have to see what I can do - I'd have to buy a new headset in order to make it possible. The one that I have, "guaranteed to work with Skype", has never worked with Skype (as Gina can testify), and I have lately been unable to record with Audacity either, for some reason. Ah well. The old set was a waste of money, a new one shouldn't be. I'll try to arrange things :-).

I have another option that would spare you the need to buy a mic. We've can call you over the phone from the Snapecast Skype account and I can use Pamela to record you onto my computer. This is how the Orson Scott Card interview was done since he doesn't have Skype or anything.

It's okay; I got myself a new headset (I needed one anyway as the old one was never any use - never trust a brand called "Trust") - it's a spiffy one too, and the tests at least yielded results on Audacity as well as Skype (yay!).

So - do I just phone Snapecast on Skype and read the epitaph out? (I've obviously never done this before, on account of, well, the stupid first headset.)

Excellent! You have 2 options.

On Skype, you can call our snapecast account and leave a voicemail when prompted.

or

You can record yourself on Audacity. Convert it to an .ogg file, and attach it in an e-mail to severus @ snapecast dot com

The quality of audacity files is usually clearer than the skype voicemails, but it's up to you which you prefer.

Sorry. That was me above. I forgot to log in.
