Episode 7: “Text-Based Adventures”

“YOU find yourself sitting in a chair in a small, featureless room …” in this tribute to the most old-school style of gaming, and the connections inherent in telling a story. This episode was written and produced by D.J. Sylvis. Tal Minear and D.J. Sylvis co-starred. D.J. Sylvis did the dialogue edit, and Tal Minear did the sound design. All music and effects used are in the public domain. MonkeyTales cover art is by Cora May. Our theme song is “Follow the Muse,” by Deborah Linden. You can find more information on our website, or on Twitter under Monkeyman Productions or MonkeyTales. Our Patreon backers make the show possible – join them in support of independent audio fiction at https://www.patreon.com/monkeymanproductions; we’ve got some great perks including early access to all our shows and behind-the-scenes glimpses at what’s coming next. Today’s story co-starred Tal Minear, who also did the sound design and is just a generally wonderful person. You can find their work in many places as a part of many works of audio fiction, but two we particularly love and find hopeful are Sidequesting, a delightful fantasy about avoiding the main plot – in the most interesting ways – and Light Hearts, a queer sitcom about friendship and love and ghosts and working together and – just go listen to both, they’re well worth your time and will lift your spirits. We’ll be back again next month with our own hopeful stories! Until then, take care of one another and keep finding ways to be a part of the resistance.

Sylvis. Ambiences provided courtesy of Tabletop Audio; additional effects from Freesound.org (CC0 licensed). MonkeyTales cover art is by Cora May.

Please note that after this, we’re taking a month or two off while we get into heavy pre-production on our sibling show, Moonbase Theta, Out. Don’t worry, we’ll be back – lots more stories to tell! And some new writers coming soon! Take care, and be good to you …

Episode 5: “Platypus”

Twenty years ago, Lila and Jovette went to high school together. Neither had come out, life was far less than perfect, and they were far less than friends. Today they’ve met again for the first time – and sparks fly, but not necessarily the good kind. This episode features Jas LaFond and Cap Blackard, with a special appearance by Evan Tess Murray. It was edited by Gabriel Taneko, and written / produced by D.J. Sylvis. MonkeyTales cover art is by Cora May. Our theme song is “Follow the Muse,” by Deborah Linden. You can find more information on our website, or on Twitter under Monkeyman Productions or MonkeyTales. Our Patreon backers make the show possible – join them in support of independent audio fiction at https://www.patreon.com/monkeymanproductions; we’ve got some great perks including early access to all our shows and behind-the-scenes glimpses at what’s coming next. I hope you enjoy – this was a really special one to put together, and there’s no question it draws a lot on my own high school experiences. This script was originally set to be produced on stage last month as well here in Toronto – but the production had to shut down because of the pandemic. I’m glad this version was already recorded to share, and they do an amazing job with it.
