I've looked into joining TikTok to jump on the #booktok bandwagon, and join my peers in doing live reads and connecting with other VAs and authors, but I can't seem to sign up (it won't let me?). And honestly - I don't really want to.
Anyone have success building community and connections using #fediverse alternatives? Any recommendations?

Fragmented Testimony as Narrative Structure https://www.writersdigest.com/fragmented-testimony-as-narrative-structure #WriteBetterFiction #WritingTechniques #FictionStructure #storystructure #narrative #narrators #structure

I've noticed that, in more recent documentaries, there seems to be a tendency toward not only informality and a horrible lack of RP in both the narrators and the audiodescribers (most of these shows are from the BBC), but toward adding the experience of the cameramen, narrators, etc. I don't mean at the end, where they explain how they filmed a particular sequence, but throughout an entire documentary. Sometimes, it makes sense and is interesting. But sometimes, it's distracting, especially when I just want to be immersed in the world of nature. Fortunately, I found an older series, called Walking with Beasts, that I hadn't watched yet. In the version that I have from Audiovault, both the narrator and the describer speak in a beautiful form of RP. It is such a relief to hear such wonderful speech. If anyone can recommend a narrator or audio describer whom I would appreciate, either from the past or the present, I would sincerely appreciate it. Sadly, the few good describers I found don't ever say their names, so I have no idea who they are.
