Underwoood and Flinch on YouTube

Submitted by Mike on Mon, 10/01/2012 - 12:08

I've decided to add Underwood and Flinch to YouTube. It's an experiment, so whether I upload the entire 45 episodes depends on how well it goes. It's basically for all those people who see subscribing to podcasts as hassle, so if you know a podcast-phobic vampire fan, please pass on this link to the U&F YouTube Playlist and plug them into it.

Don't expect all the episodes to arrive immediately, doing this is going to be a lot of work. But the bonus for me (and you, I hope) is that I'm cutting off the music and intros / outros, which will result in a product that's more audiobook than episodic podcast novel. Awesome? I should co-co Smile

Award Arrives

Submitted by Mike on Thu, 09/13/2012 - 05:26

Look what arrived in the post this morning! Time to shove all the human skulls and dessicated hands from my mantelpiece and put something really cool up there! It's lovely, isn't it? I'm happily surprised at how large and weighty it is (actress - bishop).

Many thanks to the team at the Parsec Awards for sending it to me, and for doing such a smashing job this year and every year Smile

Underwood and Flinch wins 2012 Parsec

Submitted by Mike on Mon, 09/03/2012 - 12:08

Fabulous news from the Parsec Awards! Underwood and Flinch has been awarded the Parsec for Best Small Cast Speculative Fiction Story (Long Form). I'm absolutely thrilled with the result, and I know many of you will be too! An official announcement appeared today in the online newspaper of the Dragon Con convention in Atlanta, "The Daily Dragon Online" I've added a screenshot from the page, below (the big red hand is my addition, I added it so you could spot U&F more easily).

My thanks to everyone who nominated U&F for the Parsec this year. We made runner up status in 2010, failed to get submitted last year (a mix up with emails - long story) but this year, finally, his lordship gets to raise a glass of claret in celebration.

As you can see from the pic, the other finalists represent a great array of podcast audio fiction and drama, and I hope that as a podcast listener, you'll check them out (if you haven't already done so).Here are live links to save you the trouble of searching them out ...

The Countdown to the End of the Fundraiser.

Submitted by Mike on Fri, 08/17/2012 - 08:15

The end is fast approaching for the Underwood and Flinch fundraiser at Indiegogo.com. Over the last fifty days, there has been an incredible response from listeners - and even non-listeners - from around the world. And at the time of writing this, with 18 hours to go, the total amount of money raised stands at


$10,492!

1day

I've been constantly amazed by the support and affection being shown to the project, and to say the least, I'm extremely grateful to all who have contributed. And it's not just me who should be grateful either, but all listeners, past and future - for by continuing to contribute above and beyond the original target figure, the Patrons of Underwood and Flinch are helping to make U&F 2 - indeed the U&F Saga - a reality as well. You make the book possible; you make the future books possible; you are amazing! And I thank you Smile


And it's not over yet!


There's still 18 hours to go (at time of writing this). So if you haven't contributed yet, but would like to, CLICK THIS TO GO TO THE CAMPAIGN AND DONATE.

With only five days to gogo, Kerry Heron is the latest listener to rally to the cause of Underwood and Flinch at Indiegogo. Kerry's produced an animated video that spells out exactly why people should contribute to the campaign.


Thanks a million, Kerry! That free ebook copy of One Among the Sleepless will be with you as soon as it's ready. 

I hope all these videos are inspiring you, people; if you loved U&F and you want to contribute to the campaign - even if it's only $5 - go to UNDERWOOD AND FLINCH AT INDIEGOGO now, and donate!

I thank you in advance for your most laudable action Smile

Stephanie Price: Patron of Underwood and Flinch

Submitted by Mike on Mon, 08/13/2012 - 06:28

The fantastic rallying-round of U&F listeners continues with Stephanie Price's video. Stephanie feels so strongly about the campaign that her video is eight minutes long. However, for those who have shorter attention spans, she's also created a shorter version. I'll post the shorter one first and the longer below. Great job, Stephanie! Thanks for rallying to the cause of Project U&F!

U&F Makes the 2012 Parsec Finalists

Submitted by Mike on Wed, 08/08/2012 - 09:12

I got the official notification email from the Parsec Awards to confirm U&F is now among the finalists for the 2012 gongs. Thanks to everyone who nominated it. And if you're going to the awards at DragonCon this year, do please give a hearty cheer when it's announced, even if it doesn't win Smile

UFPsec

In other news, the Indiegogo campaign is now into it's final ten days. So far you've helped me raise $7,322. Huge thanks to all who have donated to date - and if you haven't yet, but are thinking of doing so, please do - it'd be awesome to reach double the original target figure! (And it'll come in handy when I lose my job in September - the seasonal inevitability of Teaching English as a Second Language).
