Monthly Recap Live! #11 in 2025

The Midnight Vault II Crew - November 1 - November 28, 2025

Any errors seen below such as typos, miss-labeling of genre or category, wrong link, wrong person mentioned, etc. please state the error in the comments and I will update immediately. Mistakes can happen. I am only human.

If you missed this conversation, you’re in luck cause the Live is here for your listening (and viewing) pleasure. Apologies if the volumes seem off, I’m not a sound tech!

We discussed TMVII, the process, the sponsors, and of course the stats, as well as a bit about the future plans of The Midnight Vault overall.

, , and have been working hard to make TMVII the viral success that it is today and soon, we’ll get to see a physical representation of their hard work when Volume II is released. Honorable mentions should also go to who was there from the beginning on this project. And all the writers who made the first, and especially the second iteration such an integral part of the fiction community.

It was a great hour long discussion that I think I’ll start to look forward to having with them every year. As they up their game with bridging community and storytelling, I hope to up my game with questions for them.

Below are the usual callback stories from the last four weeks of November, PLUS, I’ve gone ahead and included 25 stories from The Midnight Vault II. They are, by no means the best, as that honor is subjective to you, dear reader. But I hope they are as much of a varied selection for you to sink your teeth into, and if you have the time, go read all 98 of them!
