THE THING IS HERE! Reading of "Whom the Princesses Would Destroy" by obabscribbler · 7:42pm Jul 19th, 2015
The Thing That May Not be Named may now be named!
Remember this post back in October of last year? Called Something Not Safe for Ghost?
That was when we raised $300 for Scribbler, to help her pay her dog Suki's medical expenses and to do a reading of GhostOfHeraclitus' story "Whom the Princesses Would Destroy".
I imagined that she'd read the story a few times, come up with some voices, then sit down and record it.
But things got a little out of hoof.
I think at 20 or 30 people have worked on this now. Here is chapter 1in all its glory:
Thanks to Scribbler, the cast, and everyone who worked on this. And thanks to those who raised the money! I think that's yamgoth, Arcshod, RBDash47, Super Trampoline, Horse Voice, horizon, Bradel, RandomString, toafan, Augie Dog, Skywriter, and me. If I don't have you on that list, it's because you contributed under one of those funny human names that are so hard to remember.
*Adds to the 'to watch' list* :)
Should be awesome for sure!
Oh snap! I've been waiting for this for so long. Can't wait to listen to it, and thanks to Scribbler for all the hard work!
AAH DOING A FAMILY EVENT NOW CANNOT RAVENOUSLY LEAP UPON THIS
Ah-ha! I'm glad this got finished.
Oh wow.
I think I may have to actually listen to this.
On further reflection:
You spearheaded a project to help care for a sick dog and used the commission to prepare an elaborate gift reading for another person who, I must stress, is not you either.
How evil are you, really?
This is magnificent and has given me an excuse to reread Whom the Princesses Would Destroy again.
I don't even remember contributing to this! But it sounds like something I would totally do, so my evil clone is off the hook this time around.
So that's what that was. I had forgotten all about that. Man. This is legit. It defines legit.
Can you even describe the warm and fuzzies you feel inside right now? Admit it, you feel them! And they feel great.
I uh. I wrote a blog. But, in short, you are, all of you, incredible, wonderful, incredibly wonderful, and wonderfully incredible.

See, that's all part of his plan. He's lulling everyone into a false sense of security[1] and at the same time, he's gone and crippled me with gratitude.
Evil, pure and simple.
[1] Good Horse!
Good Horse!
Good Horse!
Good Horse!
He rides across the nation
Dispensing joy and win
With constant application
of his winsome grin.
He's close to canonization
so let the games begin
A wonder here, a flying horse—
a walk on water's easy, of course!
Good Horse!
Good Horse!
Good Horse!
He's great!
The Evil League of Evil
is just a joke, we swear
the threats that you receive
are fake, so don't despair.
So see the Good Horse gleeful
with rare wit, verve, and flair...
Get saddled up
With no remorse
It's Hi-Ho Silver
Signed Good Horse

Brilliant. And, naturally, that's exactly how it went down.
