Summer

As amatur podcasts its pretty much a given that we don't know what we're doing. All you have to do is listen to episode 1 to know that. We're also alot of other things though, and unfortunatly we have come to the realization that many people who are involved with online activities come to. That is: sometimes, real life really really gets in the way.
At the begining of the summer we decided that rather than go on hiatus until fall, we would keep doing podcasts and cross our fingers that it all worked out. Unfortunatly, this didn't happen the way we had imagined it. At the same time that I was trying to do episode 10 I was preparing to be out of town, and now I'm going away again. In a nutshell, there just hasn't been time for the podcast, or the website, no matter how much I wanted to work on it.
In the very near future we hope to be back, but I can't promise it will be tommorow. It will happen though.

in the meantime, I found this both amusing, and a good argument for the overanalyzation we so love around here :)

Our Latest Project

Hi again! Sorry to bug you all, but we have started on a new project for a future podcast. Many of you who are into the fandoms we discuss on the podcast have probably read at least a few fanfictions made by the... well, fans. We are trying to compile a list of really good fanfics to talk about, so please send in whatever stories you have either written yourself, or that you have found on other sites. They can be for any fandom, but preferably something that will be recognized by fellow Noctua-listeners. Here's some examples of good places to look:

NarniaWeb
The Leaky Cauldron for Harry Potter
Twilight
We will even accept fanfics about TV shows, movies, and people (actors/bands/etc.)
Please e-mail the links to Noctuapodcast@yahoo.com. For us to consider the story, we ask that you remember to do the following when e-mailing us the work of another author.

1. If you copy the text into your e-mail, make sure the name of the author and a link to the website where you found it are included. 
2. If you send only a link, please give us the title of the fanfic that you are trying to point out as well.

Thanks,
Caitlyn

Happy Independence Day!

For those of you who celebrate American holidays, we at Noctua would like to wish you a very happy July 4th. To those of you in different countries, happy July 4th, anyways! And to those of you from England- I hope there are no hard feelings. Just kidding!

Be ready for our next podcast on Wuthering Heights (if you have anything you wish to say about the book, e-mail us at noctuapodcast@yahoo.com).
