Sandboxing Prompts

This requires clarification of what, precisely, Night Vale is.

Welcome to Night Vale... like, the most famous podcast in america or pretty close? I feel I have failed you if you don't know what it is.

The fact that it's surrealistish horror is a good start on explaining it.

I am not at all sold on this concept, alas.

It's been described as "NPR from the Twilight Zone", but this also fails to convey how funny it is.

And now, a look at the community calendar!

Saturday, the public library will be unknowable. Citizens will forget the existence of the library from 6 AM Saturday morning until 11 PM that night. The library will be under...a sort of renovation.

It is not important what kind of renovation.

Wednesday has been canceled due to a scheduling error.

I may epubify that, since doing so will probably help get me to actually read it.

If anyone would like a copy of said epub - or I can convert it to other formats - let me know and I'll figure something out.

And the part relevant to the prompt

And now for corrections.

In a previous report, we at Night Vale Community Radio were talking about the commonly held belief that there is such a thing as “mountains.” We scoffed at this belief, and bellowed repeatedly, “It is flat all the way ‘round. It is flat all the way 'round.”

We wrote lists of friends we knew to believe in mountains, and sent the lists to the City Council, recommending that all of them be put into indefinite detention. We got physically violent with an effigy labeled “Mountain Believer,” punching it repeatedly before burning it in our station’s bloodstone circle. In fact, we devoted a full day of our programming to getting together the entire station staff and screaming in unison, “Mountains? More like nothings!” into the microphone.

Recently, one of our previously mentioned friends – who thankfully had not yet been apprehended by the Council – took us for a drive out to a mountain. We looked at the mountain, and even touched it, and it was definitely real. Therefore we are forced to admit there is indeed at least one mountain in this world, and we apologize for our previous energetic assertions to the contrary.

I’m still not completely sold on there being more than one mountain. It’s possible that the mountain apologists built a single mountain in order to prove their skewed world view.

Not certain listeners, not certain…but possible.

This has been corrections.

So my baby sister has been into the Magic Treehouse books lately, and it strikes me how glowficcy they feel. The protagonists stumble across a (as advertised) magic treehouse which travels through time (and to alternate universes/fictional places in later books); it belongs to Morgan le Fay and comes with books of information about places to travel to and quests to be accomplished in those places (find objects, solve riddles, etc.) Could be a fun way to travel across universes.

Oh my god I would 100% read Magic Tree House glowfic.

(Or write it but I don't want to start new sandboxes until I've made some more progress on the ones I have standing).

I adored Magic Tree House when I was a smol. Literally the first fanfic I ever wrote was Magic Tree House.
