• After a long hiatus… a new narration is up! [And other more exciting news!]

  Posted at 12:27 pm by Penny Tailsup, on February 17, 2019

  

  Hello everyone!

  After a series of unfortunate events (earthquakes, broken computers,  college, crazy roommates… ect…), you might have noticed that I didn’t narrate anything. Or maybe you forgot that I did narrations at all– because it’s been FIVE MONTHS! (I AM SO SORRY!)

  I’m finally back in the game. I’m writing new stories as well, but I have finally resurrected my YouTube channel. I narrated my story “Ophthalmophobia”, which was written last October for the Face Your Fears Nosleep Takeover event.

  Please give the story a listen here. I haven’t decided which story I will narrate next. Should I do Tales from Solitude, or “I am so scared of the cats”… or something else? The only one I can’t do right now is “Pass It On”.

  Why?

  Because it’s on The NoSleep Podcast! [S12E10] …. It still doesn’t feel real. Am I famous now? I feel famous. I can narrate the story at some point, but I’m going to wait awhile for NSP. Besides, how am I supposed to top them? The podcast is amazing!

  Stay tuned for more stories and narrations.

  With love (but not the creepy stalkerish kind),

   

  Penny

• Don’t Forget Me! [Announcements]

  Posted at 1:51 pm by Penny Tailsup, on December 4, 2018

  

  Hello everyone!

  I wanted to put out an update to let people know what’s going on. If you follow me on social media, you probably already know about my run of bad luck! I haven’t had computer access for a while, so it was difficult to typing up anything more complicated than a status update.

  Unfortunately,  Anchorage, Alaska was hit by an earthquake last Friday– I was affected, but I’m fine aside from a messy apartment! There were no fatalities or major injuries, but lots of damage to infrastructure. Given the scale of the event, I’m really surprised and incredibly grateful. Things could have been so much worse!

  As far as stories, art and narrations, I am going to wait until the semester ends before putting out more content, but I have a backlog of ideas and half-finished works I’ll be able to plow through when time permits.

  Some good news: I’ve been published! Two of my stories have been included in the monster anthology Monstronomicon. (Book available in paperback and e-book on Amazon now!) Shiny, polished versions of “Pass It On” and “Another Reason to Quit Smoking” are included in the book. Profits from the book are being funneled towards funding a sizzle reel so the stories can be pitched as an anthology horror TV show.

  There is also a Kickstarter campaign going right now, if you’re interested!  (ending 12/31/2018). Different tiers have some really neat prizes, such as audiobooks and copies of the book. This is the first time I’ve been published, EVER, so this accomplishment has me smiling in spite of my circumstances.

  Sometime in the next two weeks I plan on posting a creepy Christmas story, so keep an eye out for that! It’s already outlined, but I need to concentrate on my finals and group projects. I’ll be free for the semester in a week, then have a reduced workload for the spring semester (when I’ll GRADUATE!)

  Things are looking up! Thank you everyone who has been showing so much love and support. I know that I’m very fortunate, even if it doesn’t feel like it sometimes!

• New Narration Up – “Eavesdropper”

  Posted at 7:16 pm by Penny Tailsup, on July 30, 2018

  

  “Eavesdropper” has been added to my YouTube channel! I wrote the story but haven’t posted the text version anywhere but my Patreon page. The video features my voice, my speed-drawing, and a story written by me.

  I originally wrote this story so I could compete in this week’s Faceoff Friday in the Facebook group Sinister Showcase, which is a group on Facebook where narrators and writers showcase their work (horror). Check if out if you haven’t already!

  This story isn’t going live on Reddit until August 2nd, and will probably undergo some minor tweaks by then… but if you don’t want to wait– maybe the narration will do the trick. Maybe it will wake you up on your morning commute?

  Thank you so much for dropping by!

• New Narration up, with Guest Author James Marie Parker III!

  Posted at 1:12 am by Penny Tailsup, on June 10, 2018

  Hello everyone!

   

  Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I’ve had a bit of a creative block recently. I have three short stories currently in the works, but since I’m working on all three at once it’s been rather slow going.

  For the first time, I narrated a story from a different author on my YouTube channel. The author approached me some time ago to do one of their stories, but I only recently got around to it. The timing ended up great for me, since I am holding off on narrating “My Husband Blamed Me” until I get some other narrators to collaborate with me on the project.

  The narration for James Marie Parker III’s “Suspended Outbound Traffic” is only a few minutes long, so have a listen if you have time! You can find it here.
