Art by many talented artists on TBT! Thanks so much!!


Once upon a time, I posted a recording of a chapter of my novel to serve as a sample of my voice, and everyone went completely nuts over it and said it was the greatest thing ever. So I decided to make a thread dedicated to the audiobook. You can thank those lovely people for this abomination.
I once had a thread dedicated to recordings of my novel. Since then, the site I was using deleted a lot of the recordings, forcing me to abandon it.... I recently found a new site so I'm back to recording things! This time, I'm gonna finish.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an odd screwball novel I wrote that makes next to no sense and is mainly for humor and making people laugh. If you're having a bad day, just listen to a chapter and you're sure to be giddy af in no time!
The Story is a novel that once started as the "ending" of my short stories but kept going... and going. And going! While it doesn't seem to have a plot, surviving daily life seems to be the main goal. The characters know they're trapped in the abomination and try to fix the chaos and insanity that goes on every chapter. Eventually they all give up and decide to just try to live life the best they can by going out and doing things before The Story ultimately ends. There are many deep secrets hidden within The Story where things often "connect" with one another, often unintentionally. The whole thing might seem like a mess but trust me, there's a deeper meaning beyond the insanity.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What would probably be on the back cover:
The Story is about a group of teenagers who all live together under the same roof and have adventures. Little do they know they're trapped in a work of fiction where insanity and chaos are a daily thing! As the Seasons progress, the characters (mainly Nathan) become aware of this and try to fix it. Even the almighty Author has no say in the chaos and is forced to watch his novel get turned into nonsense! But the real question is... what is the source of all the nonsense? And also... why? These questions and more are answered as time goes on.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for backstory: during my time in high school I wrote this massive novel. I wrote it for 5 years (first season was written in 8th grade) and it's like the most amazing thing ever... mostly because it's SO LONG. It's basically like a slice-of-life anime if you could even go so far to call it that. I like to think of it as being similar to those TV shows where something new goes on every episode and no matter how bad it gets, things always go back to the way they were before the next episode starts.
The insanity centers around this group of people who all live together in the same house (mostly because I could never seem to handle people living next door and would always forget about them unless they were all under the same roof) and have adventures. None of them are related to one another and we never find out why they all live together. It seems like each time a character is introduced they just automatically "move in" and there's another bedroom upstairs. Each chapter has us dealing with all kinds of things as we progress through the Seasons. The great thing about The Story is that so long as you know the characters, you can start from whichever Season/chapter you want! Trust me, you wouldn't be missing anything.
This is a completely random story that is meant to make next to no sense. Keep that in mind while listening! It's also a story where so long as you know the characters, you can start from whichever chapter/Season you want!
There are references to all kinds of things in this novel. This is intentional!
I split each year of writing into a "Season", much like a TV show. Each Season would start around August when a new school year began and end in June when we went on summer break. There are five Seasons- one for each year of school (including 8th grade). Both the characters and my writing style evolve each Season, which is always fun to see. A unique thing about this story is it was only written at school. I never wrote at home or anything, it was merely something to keep me occupied when I had nothing better to do. As such, The Story only takes place Monday-Friday, excluding holidays and breaks. If we weren't at school, I didn't write. Some chapters center around these breaks, such as Monday-Tuesday from Season 4, where we weren't at school on Monday and started the week on a Tuesday so the Tuesday felt like a Monday, and The Thursday V-Day of Princess Sarah from the same Season, where we're off Friday so the PSC happens on Thursday. None of the chapters ever occur on a Saturday or Sunday. It's mentioned that during weekends or breaks the characters have "time off" where they live their own lives and "don't have to be in The Story". Y'know, like actors. It's quite interesting, really. Often times I'll mention the date and then with some math you could even find out the exact day each chapter was written and find out what we had off and why. Ahhh I'm a genus.
This was originally meant to be a children's story (which lasted until maybe Season 2), so I refrain from using any foul language. Thankfully, I managed to finish The Story without slipping up.
Season 5 said:"What?! You were supposed to kick his as- REAR END."
Of course, many things and phrases are heavily implied. But, y'know, what isn't nowadays? Do note that I never wrote any foul language in, but I'm definitely going to improvise if I get the opportunity in the audiobook, heh heh.
People in this story die. A lot. Don't worry though, it's in no way gruesome, it's entirely comedic. Someone will keel over and die from something, then reappear in the corner of the room three seconds later. Such is life. Such is entertainment. Such is The Story.

Some Notes:
-Chapters can be anywhere from 2 minutes in length to 30
-The final two chapters of Season 5 will not be uploaded until all the other chapters are added
-You'll notice the same "bits" tend to happen each Season- the repetition is intended.
-I get lazy during some parts... and you can tell. I try to make a joke out of it though.
-The Story is written in various notebooks, so I will "introduce" a new notebook in certain chapters
-In the audiobooks, I tend to stray from what's written and often add stuff as I go
-Language can get sassy at times, though rarely and never overly so. You've been warned!

This thread is mostly just for storage purposes. It's just something I'll link people to or use to store information. I'll bump it every now and then when I add new stuff, but once everything is added it will become inactive.
Thanks so much for checking this out! I hope you enjoy!
