Hi. I’m Darcie T. Kelly and this is a bonus episode of Story Time with Darcie. Regularly, episodes are released on the first Thursday of the month when I read you a piece of my own eclectic short fiction. But this isn’t a regular episode.There will still be a story, two in fact. Stories I am sure you will enjoy. This bonus episode is, after all, entitled The Best of 2020 (so far). Our first story today is the Fan Favourite from January 2020 through June 2020. Of the six episodes and seven stories read in the first half of the year, one has been downloaded significantly more times than the others, which leads me to believe it is the most enjoyed (or at least the most shared). Thus, Three’s a Crowd has been crowned the Fan Favourite. My thanks again to Hilke Kelly, Ron Kelly, Annissa Kelly, Pamela Kelly, and Lyra Branscombe lending their voices to this story. Hearing my family play those roles delight me every time!To round out our first Bonus Episode, I’m also revisiting my favourite story from the first half the year. I hemmed and hawwed over this choice for some time. Is my favorite Housemate, where a house plant plays an important role in helping our socially challenged protagonist work through concerns over cohabiting with her girlfriend? Maybe it was Refuge, a satire the writing of which helped me work through my fears about the political situation in USA? While I love both those stories for very different reasons, my favourite story featured on the podcast in the first half of the year is Beyond Incandescent. The fantastical setting on the banks of River Styx, the relationship arc between our two main characters, and … well, I don’t want to ruin the end if you haven’t heard it before.My thanks again to Pamela Kelly for voicing the role of Candy. (I didn’t realize until just now that Pam guests in both of today’s favourites. Hmmm. I might have to bring her back again to see if her streak continues.) Well, that’s it for today’s Bonus Episode of Story Time with Darcie. Special thanks to all the guests who participated in adapting these stories to audio format! This podcast wouldn’t exist with guest participation.Listeners, if YOU would like to become a voice on Story Time With Darcie, please, reach out!
