First of all, I love the way you read. There's a really nice cadence to your phrasing that fit well with the rhythm of the text.

I like your Ursula voice, too. It has just the right amount of evil: not going overboard, but a recognizable influence of the character's voice coming through.

Okay, now, that music & the sound effects before the epilogue? That was just amazing. I assume it was clipped from the movie, and I couldn't help smiling over how perfectly it fit in and acquired a meaning that I'm absolutely certain the creators were not thinking of. Which is what I think of good vids doing, using the original media itself but changing context/juxtaposition to make it serve for new/different meaning, and it was really neat to hear that effect done with sound and spoken words. Not sure if I'm making sense, but anyway, I'm glad you did put it in! It's an excellent choice.

:D :D :D

This is just the loveliest comment ever! Thank you so much! And thank you for the handholding and poking as I was trying to finish it up!

You know, what's great about that sound clip is that it actually comes from the very same moment in the movie - right after the rape-like scene of Ursula taking Ariel's voice and Ariel swimming (naked) to the surface and then fading into her waking up (naked) on the shore. So it is, yes, definitely a different meaning than the creators intended but it was also quite easy to find (though not to *decide* to use, as you know).

I hope someone will decide to do an Ariel/Ursula vid for kink_bingo! There is so much amazing material and I would love to watch it! (But not enough to teach myself how to vid!)
