December Patron Fic Pick Voting!

'Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.'

~ Mark Twain

As 2017 draws to a close around us like a comfortable yet strangely itchy cloak, we look forward to 2018 and the fics it may bring. Thus, my beloved patrons, I present to you the fics to pick for which darkfic you would like to see adapted in my full-cast audiobook style in January.

What, you thought I'd start the year on a happy note?

... Have you met me? 

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 December 28th and I'll announce the chosen fic on December 29th. The adapted fic will arrive here on Patreon in January!

NOTE: After receiving the request from a number of patrons who didn't want their votes to be publicly viewable, I'll be trying out something new and registering the votes at this poll this month:
