Dramatic Reading Double-Header: "The One Where Discord Gets All The Mares" and "Taco Sonata to the moon, baby." · 12:12am Apr 25th, 2016
Happy Sunday, folks! Today I present a pair of dramatic readings; one for which I did the reading, and one for which I did the writing. Check 'em out after the break.
First, I was recently informed that the talented Ribon Chan assembled a full-cast reading of The One Where Discord Gets All The Mares back around Valentine's Day. Special thanks to Leonzilla for letting me know! I could nitpick a couple of lines, especially the French; but overall it brought a huge smile to my face. I don't often go back and re-read my stories, so I hope it isn't too self-congratulatory to admit that I ended up laughing several times while listening. Check it out!
The next one, Taco Sonata to the moon, baby., represents my second foray into dramatic reading. Taco Sonata is an absurdist parody of overused MLP fanfic tropes circa mid-Season 5 (up to and including the title's misuse of title-case and inclusion of a period), all mish-mashed together into a very special kind of crazy comedy. The reading uses LOTS of different kinds of music (including something old-school MLP fans will instantly recognize) in its quest to capture that essence. But on a more serious note, the circumstances of its creation were what led to me and Moosetasm first really notice each other and start collaborating, and my decision to record it is as a thank-you to him. Please give it a listen!
I regret nothing!
The Discord one is amazing. Will my envy ever end?

Don't be silly. There's no rest for the writer. Get back to work on the next big one.
