Believe it or not, this project isnt dead. 2026 still has a few months left for me to finish! This has become the "Never give up" Fishguy-Meme for my life, but we're getting there :)

Its official: The very last pieces of my #audiodrama Into the Frayed have been recorded!! Its time to sit down one final time and work on the finale and the pilot. Doing that at the same time is surely going to be very unemotional.

I absolutely adore my actors and the amount of life they breathed into my AD. They didnt have to, I cant afford to pay them, but they all brought their a-game and I cant thank them enough 🥹❤️

Weekly #Audiodrama Update: I will never do an AD again and will only write books, why do I do this to myse- Oh! It worked!! Nevermind.

Weekly #Audiodrama Update: Im editing down some amazing performances to a 5 minute monologue and I feel like Frankenstein (the Doctor) making Frankenstein (the monologue).

Weekly #Audiodrama Progress: Spend an hour creating a soundspace. Love it. Return the next day. Completely redo it in ten minutes because its just not right in that one specific way but now you finally know what you want. ... This is gonna happen a lot, huh.

Due to chronic illness, I am gonna pretend I never set myself a timer. I still intend to finish this and I hope to release this year. Just the "when" remains ambiguous. See you then!

Tales from the #audiodrama recording studio: "She isnt evil, she is just morally misaligned :)"

Writing #audiodrama is just an endless amount of "The script is finally, truthfully, for-real-this-time finished!", obviously followed by another rewrite.

Little introduction post: Into the Frayed is a dark fantasy #audiodrama - the drama being the genre and your emotions being my payment. Its told through letters, takes place over two and a half years, seven episodes and roughly 5 hours. Into the Frayed releases in June 2025.

Small Update: Since I both broke up with a longterm partner and am in the process of moving away, Im delaying "Into the Frayed" to June 2025! The thought that I "need" to work on it has been really stressing me out and I want this to be my brainchild, not my burden. See you then!🦋

Vaughn Lazul @vaughnlazul.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

The endless debate between "Do I listen to something new and exciting" or "Do I listen to the same #audiodrama that I listen to every year" How is one to decide?

The inherent need to make art is forever challenged by a foe beyond reason or reckon: Chores. A thousand curses.

I love my brain. The moment I finish writing and start producing, Im thinking of new worlds and new stories. Thank you, beloved brain soup. We have a project though. The slots are filled, commissions are clos... - Hey. Hey. Stop that. (Dont worry, production isnt writing, we're going strong :P)

Vaughn Lazul @vaughnlazul.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

[1/2] Today, we lost two hours of recording time due to a technological error. But dont worry. All the important communication wasnt entirely lost, due to the miracle saving medium called brain we both possess. Re-recording should flow fairly quickly.

I am not done with Season 1. Far from it. I never planned on a Season 2. But I am *thinking* about it for some reason. Dont know if this is hubris, warranted or just dumb. Anyways, you'll find me in the writers room.

Vaughn Lazul @vaughnlazul.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

I have never done this. Never. Do not lool at my Tumblr or ask my VAs. They are lying.

Vaughn Lazul @vaughnlazul.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

I was really worried that we can only do asynch for a while - how it would affect quality, if it would be more effort for my VAs, if things got lost in translation - and in one singular recording, @delaylays.bsky.social made me believe it didnt matter. I have an amazing cast. Absolutely blessed!

Recording your Audio Drama like: ... Who made these bitches so gay?

walking the streets of Toronto at 2am, a Tasmanian Tiger crosses my path. we stare at each other. it knows I'm practicing poor sleep hygiene. I know that it went extinct 90 years ago. we nod at each other - agreeing to keep each other's secret - and carry on walking

Writing Audio Drama is an endless effort to polish and pressure a piece of coal into a diamond. Its only weeks and months later that you realise everything was sparkly already except for that one thing you thought was fine. (In loving memory of my BA "Hilde", you need a spectro.)

Things I didnt expect to learn this year: Using Reaper for what its actually about (= music). Can you believe that? No no. Its for Audio Drama. Audio Drama only.

Anyone can make a great fiction podcast. All you need is a Blue Yeti, some friends who are willing to speak nonsense into the record, some free editing software, a willingness to enter into a Faustian bargain with the dark presence in the lands beyond the shadows, and the gumption to make min 6 eps.

The pain of being done with the script, leaving it for weeks because nobody has time to record anything and then opening it up only to find hundreds of things to polish. I love writing. I promise, the polish is making it better :')

Me, as Im editing: Who thought doing this in all-monologues was a good idea? Who wrote that section like that? Where are the instructions for this part? Why is there not a good transition? I mean, seriously. My script, my Laptop, my desk lamp, the entire room: 👁️👁️

Sometimes, you look at your Voice Actors and you look at the characters they are playing and you look at your Voice Actors again and some things just make sense. (I say this with love. Believe me. I have never used unreliable narrators in my life, after all).

Vaughn Lazul @vaughnlazul.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

I know I have showed this to everyone, but since I am in the middle of recording everything up until the Mid Season Finale, why not show it to more people? (I spent too much time on this, forgive my hubris). Anyways: Releasing in April 2025. Im now convinced I'll manage that :P

One side of the image is an orange background with high stylised plant-postmarks cluttered all over. The other is an oily green with a very detailed moth drawing. The text reads "Into the Frayed".
