October 2019 Patron Fic Pick!

'That's why writers write—to say things loudly with ink. To give feet to thoughts; to make quiet, still feelings loudly heard.'  ~  Tarryn Fisher, Mud Vein

With Month of Macabre's spoopiness drawing to a close, it's time to think of November and the gentler times ahead. 

Below are options and the links to five slice-of-life pony stories up for my special audio treatment. Each patron gets one vote for which one they would like to see adapted. Voting will close on October 27th and I'll announce the chosen fic on September 28th!

1.  Tennyson's Time by Not Worthy  

Apple Bloom has cared for Tennyson the Tree since he was nothing but a seed, and now he's beginning to grow his own apples. Proud of Tennyson, Apple Bloom leaves him for another night. When a nasty storm comes to Ponyville, however, she finds herself braving the storm in order to save him. 

2.  Fact or Fanfiction by Tumbleweed   

What starts as a boring afternoon in Twilight's library soon spirals out of control once Twilight introduces Rainbow Dash to the wide world of Daring Do fanfiction. Inspired by this revelation, Rainbow Dash takes it upon herself to write the BEST FANFICTIONS EVAR. It can't be that hard, right? All she needs is an idea, a typewriter, and a whole lot of coffee! It should be noted that "an editor" is not on Rainbow Dash's list.

3.  Princess Luna Likes Coffee by Bradel 

 Princess Luna reflects on what it's like to come back from one thousand years of exile, and all the things she's missed in the time she's been gone. These are a few of her favorite things. 

4.  Going Out With a Bang by Prak 

 Long Jump's career as a professional daredevil has allowed him to see the world and touch thousands of lives, but fame has taken a heavy toll on him. Instead of retiring quietly, however, he sets out to perform one last stunt, the most dangerous he's ever attempted: a daring leap over Ghastly Gorge...on roller skates. 

5.  What I Brought Back from Manehattan by Anonymoose 

Applejack was happy to return to her family after her stint in Manehattan, but there was something she brought back from her trip. A small mistake and a choice that haunts her to this day.
