Not sure I'd have anything interesting to add, but I'd certainly listen along and be interested to hear what others have to say.

I've obviously got a vested interest in this run of stories. I'll be intrigued to see what folks think. I haven'y listened to a couple of these stories since they were first released.

I could listen along and try to participate, though not sure what value I can add.

I would like to, but I'm afraid I don't own any of them.

With 51-100 now available at very attractive prices (if you're picture that meme with the guy looking at the girl he isn't with, I'm sick of seeing it pop up on my Facebook feed), I was thinking leading a listen through of Big Finish audios featuring Erimem. There are some incredibly strong stories in this selection that deserve discussion. Same basic idea, each week I line up the next story and we discuss it. Give me your feedback on the idea. Any guidelines you'd want set for example. Great idea - I've collected all but two of these at one time or another but never listened to any of them because I knew it was a sequence and wanted to listen in order, from the start. So of course, with new releases and other stories to catch up with, it's never happened! I don't think I have 'No Place Like Home' (although I did pick up a few of the magazine free disks once including 'The Veiled Leopard', so I'll have to check.) And I don't have 'Nekromantia' and never intended to buy it. But I've got the other MR releases ready to go and I'd enjoy a structured group listen to Erimem's journey. All new territory for me, and interested to see Five branching out with a new companion who has no links to the classic TV stories. EDIT: Looking at the schedule, the M.R. James fan in me rather likes the idea of 'Son of the Dragon' for Christmas Eve, a traditional time for ghost stories and similar. {Spoiler}
OK I know it's the real historical man in this case rather than the fictional flapping bat one, but even so... EDIT2: Yes I do have 'No Place Like Home'. |

Depending on when you want to start, I'd be interested. I love the Erimem stories.

Will you be creating specific Discussion Threads for each story for detailed Posts and this Thread will just be for our general impressions?

I actually did an Erimem listen though this spring, I still remember them. It was cool,having a character from such a different time and culture.

Probably start this thread, but a short while later ask the mods if they can split the individual story discussions into other threads. Definitely keep to one thread for the mean time, but I'm open to individual threads if that helps prevent people seeing spoilers for stories they aren't following with (if they decide to pick and choose particular stories they already own). EDIT: Actually yes, I think I think I individual story threads are better. As I just mentioned, it'd be easier to manage a spoiler policy and be easier on those taking a selective approach to this project. Linking the story threads in the OP for this thread is simple. I'll open this idea to the floor. Individual story threads or all contained here? We can do general observations here, story specific thoughts on their pages. |

I'd also think individual story threads linked to this one as the index page - much better for anyone following only selected stories, and easier for use as a reference. It'll be fun to follow a shared discussion - from some people who have these stories as favourites, right down to me who knows - errrm, Erimem is a pharoh, right? - and hasn't heard one of them yet!  |

I'll definitely join in for the first three, as they're on Spotify and I've been meaning to look into Erimem. After that just have to see if I can/won't feel guilty spending more money on Big Finish each week.

I can recommend a conversion therapy, but can't guarantee you will keep the other emotions. |

So how does this exactly work considering we all belong to different time zones. I'm from Mumbai, India and I'm about 4.5 hrs ahead of the UK. I usually find the time for listening on Sunday afternoons my time.

I usually find the time for listening on Sunday afternoons my time. My time, on Sunday, I'll put up a post saying discussion on the next story is open for business. The next Sunday, same. I'm in New Zealand, so the earliest known Divergent on Sundays. There's no rush to listen or comment. You'll have a weeks window where others will be listening and commenting on the same story. i was in Mumbai a few months ago. |
