Staff Reads a Holiday Fic

 

 

This is actually a two-part deal that will involve two seperate staffers. The first was initiated back in 2015, when a staff member read Visit From St. Nicolas. There was some backstory to that. You see, I am the person who reads that to my kids every Christmas Eve. No matter what, I have always read it to my family, so finding someone here who could carry that tradition was a part self-indulgence, yet with the genuine desire to share and start a holiday tradition with digital family. So on Christmas Eve we will post a recording of a special guest reading A Visit from St. Nicholas. 

 

On top of that, a lucky volunteer staffer will read a Holiday inspired Fan Fiction. Before we do any polls, I want to open this up to suggestions. Now, please only recommend short stories and not massive texts, Otherwise this we will be waiting a while. Also, unlike the Golden Oaks Reader project, the selected staffer will have the option of recording this and releasing the audio file OR doing it live. Whatever works for them. 

 

So, what is your favorite Heath's Warming Eve fic? Post it below. 

 

 

Here is the fic read by Randi

@Jeric question. Do EQG fics regarding the Anon-a-miss arc from the comics count as holiday material?

Hm. No since it is an official story, but you just gave me a wonderful idea.

How about having a staff member write a holiday fic? Now that would be fun

If it's done as a live event, what shall be the procedure of such?  Is there a specific time/day in mind, or shall it be decided upon once the story & reader are chosen?

We have a special Discord channel that allows someone to read live on VC while others can listen in.

date and time will be dictated by availability of the selected reader.

As we don't have any fic recommendations the winner will read the fic.

Vote Randi, his voice is to die for!

I've heard Mesme read, can't really vote for myself, and I don't think I've heard Feather Spiral read so... they get my vote.

Randi is obviously good at narration and voice acting. His tone, emphasis, pacing and pitch, are all spot-on.

Sweet Celestia, that was an amazing read Randi. 11/10 would listen again, you're so good at this.
