Lyrics:
On the first day of Mystery Box our Mod Team said to us:
Go forth and make some podfic!
On the second day of Mystery Box our Mod Team said to us:
Here's more challenges so go forth and make some podfic
On the fourth day of Mys--
On the third day of Mystery Box our Mod Team said to us:
Have you checked in?
Make a team name, do mod dares, here's more challenges
So go forth and make some podfic!
On the ninth day of Mystery Box our Mod Team said to us:
(On the eighth day of Mystery Box our Mod Team said to us:)
Bring your own bonus, Multivoice bonus,
(Join a multivoice, Join a new fandom,)
New fandom bonus, podficcing bonus
(Join a filk or podfic)
Check!
It better not clip, have no background noise
Well, better go make some podfic!
On the ninth--
No!
On the eight--
No!
On the sixth day of Mystery Box our Mod Team said to us:
(Fill the New Year's stats with podfishc)
Enter a new fandom, get points for podding
(Here we come a-lap-aling around the camp of)
You're all checked in!
(fa-la-la-la)
Make a mascot, do mod dares, here's more challenges
(Here we come a-lap-aling around the camp of points)
Submit them on Airtable with cover art
Go forth and make more podfic!
On the eleventh day of Mystery Box our Mod Team said to us:
Hic gaudet vox: Mystery Box
(Voice team)
All welcoming bonuses you bring
(Voice team)
Go turn them in, then start again
(Voice team)
On, on we pod, on with our squad!
Filk or podfic, get it done quick
With Edward, the Voiceteam Snowman!
On the twelfth day of Mystery Box, a teammate said to us:
I wrote fic for a Big Bang, but no one’s making art
So if you could make some, it would really fill my heart
Oh, Big Bang, Big Bang, Big Bang
(Whoa, hey, wrong fandom event! This is for podfic! - though cover art is, of course, very welcome.)
Oh…
(This is Voiceteam Mystery Box, after all!)
On the sixteenth day Mystery Box our Mod Team said to us:
Here on stats day, much praise we will say:
A lot of audio have you made during this Mystery Box.
A lot of fun submissions to our ten challenges!
Brought your own bonus; got more points for your teams
Entered new fandoms; 'twas more fun than it seemed!
We did Voiceteam here in Mystery Box
Turn of the year Voiceteam Mystery Box
We can't believe this Voiceteam's over again
(See you in May!)
We're proud we played Mystery Box with you
(Just wait for May!)
Pod with Voiceteam spirit through the year
(Check in in May!)
Gotta get BPs and make the pods we never had
Go forth and create podfic!
Go forth and create podfic!
