Yaaasss!!!

Hello again wanderers! It is my honor and privilege to welcome you back to the Fringes

Episode 13 - Return to the Fringes is now available for everyone to listen to and I'm so SO excited to be able to share it with all of you

This episode features Alasdair Stuart, Julian Dailey, and Elyjah Phillips who all did SUCH an incredible job with these characters! I've loved working with them and you're going to love the work they've done, I guarantee it

This show means the world to me and to be able to share it with my phenomenal cast to see how they've brought it to life has been a highlight of my year. And now to share it with all of you so you can see the work that's been done and enjoy it, there's no comparable feelings

Welcome back to the Fringes, wanderers! I hope you enjoy the episode <3

Can't wait for you to hear some of Opal's impassioned speeches! They were super fun to bring to life and I'm so excited to be a part of this great project.

Last! Character! Intro!!! Today we're talking about Opal, our wonderful deity who knows just about everything. There are a few blocks in her knowledge, largely put there on purpose by those trying to avoid their gaze. But she knows as much as she can about everything there is

For voicing Opal, I wanted their words to be slow and deliberate as they process everything in the multiverse that flows through their mind at once. That much knowledge could wreck a weaker person, but not Opal. They were built to know and to last while knowing. I genuinely just love opals which is how they got their name but her entire concept is so Beholding TMA based that I almost regret not giving her a name that aligned with that

Almost

Opal is being played by the fabulous @just-jessie-d!! Jessie absolutely nailed that slow, deliberate speech and has brought Opal to life more brilliantly than I ever could've dreamed. They're also just lovely to work with and endlessly talented

With that, we're done introducing our cast of characters! Season two officially kicks off at 10AM CST tomorrow

I cannot wait for yall to hear what this fantastic cast has done with this story I wrote

They're all absolutely incredible and you're going to love them

Hello hello! I'm incredibly excited to announce that auditions are now open for Forged Bonds! If you're new here: Forged Bonds is a myth-bending love story following Aphrodite and Hephaestus from Greek mythology. It's a queer inversion of the story and I'm so excited to share it!

We currently have 3 phenomenal cast members on board for Aphrodite, Ares, and Dionysus, but all other parts are open for auditions!

Our Aphrodite is the brilliant @totcoc0a! I've sung Tot's praises many a time and it's because she deserves it. Our Ares is the incredible @taytayheyhey ! I've also sung his praises many a time but again it's because it's well deserved. Tot and Tay have been instrumental in the early development of this show and im so grateful for them

I'm also delighted to announce that our Dionysus is going to be the incomparable Mike LeBeau! Mike (he/him) is best known for his role as Tim Stoker in the Magnus Archives, as well as his phenomenal work in Tiny Terrors and The Town Whispers. Hes also in the upcoming @souloperatorpod (which you might recognize as being Tot's upcoming podcast) Its an absolute honor and pleasure to have Mike on board for the show! Hes a remarkable VA and is going to bring Dionysus to life brilliantly

As stated up top, the rest of the roles are up for grabs! We've got 8 roles that we're looking to fill. You can read more about the auditions here:

And can submit your audition here:

We are specifically looking for a trans female to play the role of Hephaestus, however all other roles are open to anyone! Auditions will run through December 15

I was so impressed with his ability to show emotions through a character that doesn't really show emotions. Broke me up, too

It'sa meeee!

Hello again my dear wanderers! We have another cast shout out for you, this time for @just-jessie-d! Jessie deHaan (they/she) is a scientist, podcaster, and streamer who is giving voice to our lovely Council member Opal!

Opal is probably the only Council member I didn't have a solid image in my mind for before hearing Jessie's audition. Everything kind of fell into place after that and im so excited to see what else they do with the character. Her audition was absolutely incredible and I know she's going to knock the role out of the park

You can hear more from Jessie in their podcast Gamer's Guide to Ecology (scientists who are also gamers produce SUCH cool content)! And you can support her work on the Fringes by backing our indiegogo campaign

I have some time off of work this week and have used part of that time to meet with some of my incredible cast including today's shout out person, Julian!

Julian Dailey (any pronouns) is playing Guillermo in s2 of the Fringes and my gods am I excited for them to do so. Julian's reads of the audition lines for Guillermo absolutely pulled a voice I had only had in my head into the real world. It really was a magical experience to get to hear this audition and go "Oh. Oh it's Guillermo. Oh hell yes." I can't wait for yall to hear what he does

If you want to hear more from Julian you can hear her in The Sheridan Tapes and The BookWorms! And if you're looking to support his work in the Fringes you can visit our crowdfunder!

We are continuing to chug along through the crowdfunder! If you would like to help bring season 2 to life, any little bit helps :)
