Fan Fiction… Tuesday?
I know a lot of you guys were disappointed that there was no Fan Fiction Friday entry last week; rest assured that the break was badly needed, and will keep me from drinking myself to death for… well, a couple of months, at least. Well, rather than leave you totally hanging, I am happy — nay, honored — to present the audio version of ComicsNix’s fan fic masterpiece “Day of Reckoning,” as read by Topless Roboteer Xwonka. It’s divine. The only way it could be any better is if it was broken up by those beeps like those old read-a-long storybooks (also, if it had an accompanying illustration book to read-a-long with). Hopefully it will sate you until this Friday, when FFF returns. Part 2 is after the jump.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
