February approaches and with it comes Month of Lurve 2018! This year my beloved patrons, I present to you the fics to pick for which shipfic you would like to see adapted in my full-cast audiobook style in February!
Below are options and the links to the original stories. Each patron gets one vote for which one they would like to see adapted. You can change your vote if you like as long as you do so by the closing date. Leave your choice as a comment on this post within the next week. Voting will close on January 15th and I'll announce the chosen fic on January 16th.

2. Tunnel of Love by bookplayer
Summary: The Tunnel of Love is a magical and romantic place in the Everfree Forest, and Twilight intends to find out about it first hoof. With Applejack by her side, it seems like the perfect time to talk to her friend about the feelings she's been having.

[Twilight/Applejack || Applejack/Fluttershy]
3. Interview with a Batpony by Gulheru

4. Wrong Side of the Glass by Rosencranz
Summary: I woke up in the Ponyville hospital this morning. A heart condition, they said. Now I'm stuck here, waiting to die, and all the company I've got is a bookish pegasus and a stuffy nurse. Nothing to do but reflect on the life I've lived—or should I say, the life I've wasted. My name is Second Fiddle. I was a violinist once... [OC/OC]
5. Exactly Right by kits
Summary: Rarity is hosting the annual Societé Fabrique soiree. Everything is going splendid thanks to some help from her friends. It's a bit boring, true. The social strictures of hosting tend to make for a rather dull night, but luckily for Rarity, she has Applejack to keep her company. [Rarity/Applejack]
6. Ten Degrees by Bachiavellian
Summary: An unexpectedly warm day ruins Bon Bon's afternoon. Luckily, a certain mint-green unicorn is there for her, no matter the weather. [Bon-Bon/Lyra]
