For several years, I have participated in the live reading event called Bloody Parchment, which makes up part of
the literary component of the SA Horrorfest. Following the success of these readings, I have for some time been
playing with the idea of using my youtube channel to launch an experiment in story-telling. Most writers are
unaware of the potential of youtube to showcase their work. I thought it might be interesting to revive earlier traditions
of verbally sharing fiction, albeit through a new platform.
The youtube video accompanying this post, 'How to Make a Wizard's Spectacles' is my second attempt, but the
first one I'm going public with. Following feedback on the first (unlisted) video, I decided to keep the format simple.
Just voice and text.
As other members of the Adamastor Writer's Guild (of which I am a member) have expressed interest in the project,
I am not ruling out the possibility of featuring stories by other writers. For the moment,I'm just seeing where this leads.
Hope you enjoy it.
