      Ha... I used to work as an editor at a televsion company and was required to do the "guide" voiceovers to assist the editing process. One person compared my voice to sounding like a pedophile with a cold.

      I grew up in Manchester, Salford. Very rough part of the UK. I had a Manc twang for years (think of the two brothers from the band Oasis), then I moved around a lot and it went. I live in Yorkshire now where it's all Eee-By-Gum.

      Recently was asked to record one of my stories for spoken word. I hate the sound of my voice so I distorted it in post production, and now it sounds like Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs is reading it. "Put the cookies in the basket!"

                      Congratulations. Lard Butt was my first story ever, so I'm happy that I even got any votes at all. I learned a heck of a lot cutting it down. I mistakenly thought 10,000 words, and when I realized characters, I thought oh crap. Lost a few characters, and the double spaces. But it was sure a great learning experience. Good luck in the finals!

                        Thanks, Jon. Really enjoyed your story, and i hear you about editing. Can't remember the original word count for 13, but I had to hack large paragraphs out to get it down to fit within the post. I remember i was one word off at one stage and searching around looking to nix something but couldn't even find a "a" or "so" or anything that could go.

                        Good luck with getting Lard Butt accepted somewhere else (or maybe here, in the near future ).
