Awoo.

Dr. Crusher's (Not Quite) Wonderful Fanfic Reading Emporium: I've got 99 guidelines, but quality control ain't one.

Eh up. Time for me to steal someone else's idea for a topic once again (TheCakeMiester in this case). I'm getting pretty good at this.

 

So. Fanfics. They're a treasure to the world, aren't they? They can range from action to horror, romance to drama, humor to sci-fi, just like movies and various other forms of media. There are no limits to what you can make via nothing more than your creative vision. Unfortunately, due to them being the creation of chaps typing on computers - and therefore not needing to have anything greenlit in order to show itself - not every fanfic can be considered a masterpiece in storytelling. And where better to delve into this subject than our beloved franchise based on rolling and jumping: Sonic the Hedgehog.

 

Yes, poor Sonic gets a lot of hassle in regards to the fanfiction realm. I couldn't tell you how many recurring plot points I've seen throughout the years... demonic fancharacters, Sonic and Shadow fighting over Amy, Tails being murdered by Metal Sonic, offspring that look exactly like their parents only with a different hairstyle, the list goes on and on. But like all other fanfics, there are "bad" Sonic fanfics, and then there are "I didn't take heroin, heroin took me" Sonic fanfics... Even if those two are usually one and the same half the time.

 

And that is what this topic is for, for us to thank the existence of these cherished bestsellers, by reading them through the means of whatever our vocal cords bestowed upon us. I suppose it's only logical that I kick things off, so I will quote myself from the Voice topic and bring in the three fanfics that I've already read so far.

 

Sonic the Hedgehog: World War 2 Dragon!

 

Here's the fanfic itself, if you want to read along!

 

A few notes:

-I sound louder here because this was at my friend's house, and his Audacity is a little better.

-As a result, I was actually reading this to him as well. So if you hear another person chortling, it's him.

-However, there's a little problem that makes it sound as if the recording has ended whenever I don't say anything for too long.

-I fuck up and miss a paragraph at one point, before miserably trying to correct my mistake in great haste. You'll probably know it when you hear it.

"Darkneess aprouchs". And here's the fanfic itself. (Note the traffic sounds in the background since we failed to realise the window was still open during this. D'oh!)

And now, the main attraction... Sonic High School.

 

http://vocaroo.com/i/s1fW6rQ370BC - Chapters 1-3

http://vocaroo.com/i/s0Oyx0kM8UK3 - Chapters 4-6

http://vocaroo.com/i/s04VpBv0Czac - Chapters 7-9

http://vocaroo.com/i/s0cMjESbjpUC - Chapters 10-12 (Warning: In Chapter 12, there's a triple trouble of an Audacity screwup, a horrible accent, and me inventing the word "anorexism".)

http://vocaroo.com/i/s1ctbmOx0BVn - Chapters 13-15

http://vocaroo.com/i/s1eTTauLcOWh - Chapters 16-18 (Chapter 18 is when you finally hear my stupid laugh. Make fun of it however you wish.)

 

And here's the fanfic itself. Have fun. Or not.

 

NOTE: I do plan on doing the rest of the chapters, but I've had a few little recording problems that have prevented me from doing so. Once that's sorted, I'll get right to it.

 

I would like to apologise in advance for all the word fumbling I do. I also apologise for - amongst other things - making Sonic and Silver sound like gangsters.

 

So please enjoy the show, and remember... No one's perfect. We all make things we wish we didn't. Some are just more naturally gifted in smoking the pipe than others.

I have loved all of your fan-fiction readings so far and I can't wait for the last batch of Sonic High School. Great stuff!

The topic title killed me!

 

OK, I'm going to pop a reading up once I get a little free time, I just need to find what to read first.

 

I can only hope this'll evolve into a full blown community reading, with members giving voices to the characters. (As painful as that would be)

 

EDIT: I can't wait till you read chapter 19...I challenge you not to laugh.

No worries, mate, I'm glad you made this topic! I'll definitely be pitching into this soon, I need to get a better microphone first though.

 

Btw the voices you make mixed with your accent makes this the best thing ever.

Aw, thank ye kindly. I've always thought my voice was really whiny sounding, so I'm happy to see it amuses someone!

 

EDIT: To answer VEDJ, I asked in a status about where this topic would fit. If it fits there more, then I'm fine with it being moved.

On a lighter, the one line "Sonic's mom" spoke just reminded me of Shadow. That is some weird genetics.

After reading the topic, I agree that this belongs in the Miscellaneous forum more than anything. Off she goes!

Please excuse the crappy sound quality, I'm using my laptops built in microphone. I think I speak a bit too fast in this, I haven't done anything like this before so my apologies.

Nah, I believe the point of this thread was for people to post up them reading fan fiction.

Oh, I thought we could post our fanfic readings here?

Yes, post your fan fiction readings here! No matter how awful, put them up.

Ah yes, sorry if I wasn't clear. Yes, anyone can read whichever fanfics they so desire.

Oh yes. High School.

 

I had heard of it, and burst out laughing several times when reading the first two bits.\

 

But then I became incredibly embarrassed at myself for even knowing it existed! :D CANNOT UNREAD!

Doc, I've always imagined your voice before this moment.

 

But now that I hear it...it's so much more beautiful than I ever could've hoped for.  -tears up-

 

Read on, you beautiful man.  Read on.

And don't worry, once I get my recording errors sorted (whenever that will be), I'll get to it right away.

This quote has proven that I'm too old to laugh this hard. I'll be making this part of my signature now.
