I have taken up the torch, and I am creating a podcast of Planecrash using a version of current-gen voice tech to create a multi-voiced performance. Weekly episodes are coming out here https://shows.acast.com/project-lawful-aka-planecrash

Hello, this is great.

OOI what's the reason you haven't just uploaded all of it? Is this a lot of work for you? Are the AWS credits expensive etc.?

I used AWS' text-to-speech service to create a podcast out of Eliezer's Planecrash Glowfix.

It is available here: https://anchor.fm/s/a48073e4/podcast/rss
(You might need a podcast player which supports RSS links, such as Podcast Addict.)

I already uploaded about 10 episodes of ~10 hours each. I plan to upload at least the whole mad investor chaos and the woman of asmodeus (which would make be 35 additional episodes), and maybe more if people are interested.

I did not ask for anyone's permission, and I'm willing to shut it down or to give the credentials to the podcast account to someone else who owns the rights to this story.

This is not a high quality speech synthesis. What's more, converting a glowfic to an audio format is hard to do well. I've just inserted the characters' names between each section. Moreover, I never read the original work nor listened to the whole audio yet, so some paragraphs might be broken.
