Over the past year or two, there has been a pretty big surge in pony audio books. Chances are this has something to do with the last decade of non-pony audio books! Go figure. That's kind of a big thing these days.
If you are like me, you probably use pretty much every possible form of entertainment all at once. I regularly have a Hearthstone/Dota 2/League of Legends stream going with a song playing, a game running in the background, and EQD things being worked on. This is our new reality, and we should celebrate that! Audio books have joined the entertainment flood, and pony makes everything better.
We are now accepting audio books. Below the break, get one to get you going - University Days, a classic Vinyl Scratch and Octavia fanfic that ended in early 2014, as well as rules on submitting your own!

Description: A refined mare fresh out of high school and a dropout following her dreams find themselves forced to spend a lot of time together.University Days Audio Book
With the help of a meddling psychology tutor and their new classmates, can they find what they've been looking for?
Blurb:
"I recall having read the introductory chapters of University Days when they were initially released and quite enjoyed them. I eventually drifted away from the fanfic scene for the most part but this one had stuck around as an old favorite. Having watched episode 100, where Vinyl and Octavia are shown living or at least working together I was inspired to seek out the story once more. I was quite happy to see that it had been finished and decided that University Days would be my first foray into long form fanfic audiobook production. I do audiobooks professionally and have done quite a few shorter form FiM fanfic readings as well, but I am glad I chose University Days as my first real fan audiobook. Each chapter is available for download in the description so you can listen on the go. Enjoy!”
