“MuggleNet Fan Fiction’s AudioFictions”: Episode 156 “Once Upon a Time…”

by Keith Hawk · August 5, 2012

The AudioFictions MerMuggles are keeping the magic alive beyond the books, reading stories from the MuggleNet fan fiction archive that you request. This week, as a desperate James and Lily attempt to put baby Harry to sleep, Jessie Lights channels the thoughts of Potter characters long gone, while theGreatOm begins a two-chaptered tale that you won’t find in your copy of Hogwarts: A History.

This week’s episode features:

  • A special fan-submitted reflection on fifteen years of Harry Potter
  • How to Be Dead by MagEd, read by Jessie Lights (Rated 1st-2nd Years)
  • Rivalries and Secrets (Chapter 1) by loligo8me, read by theGreatOm (Rated 3rd-5th Years)

AudioFictions is celebrating the 15th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone throughout the year by sharing your memories! Send us a 1-3-minute audio or video recording telling us how you discovered the series and what it has meant to you. You may be featured in a future episode or on our YouTube account! Email recordings and questions to mermuggles at hotmail dot com.

We’ll be sharing stories of the Hogwarts Express just in time for its departure from Platform 9 3/4, and we want you to write them! The winners’ fictions will be read by the MerMuggles on September 1.

Subscribe to AudioFictions on iTunes, where you can leave your reviews and feedback. You can also download the latest episode at Libsyn. Visit the “Black Lake” section of the MuggleNet Fan Fiction Beta Boards to nominate your favorite fan fictions for the MerMuggles to read. And finally, don’t forget to stay connected with us on Facebook and Twitter.
