Stories from the Sky SFF

Приєднався 31 тра 2022
Welcome to Stories from the Sky SFF! This channel is all about sharing the best science-fiction and fantasy stories from the magical past, digital present and intergalactic future. All stories are narrated by me, William Sky. Each video comes with accompanying text for those who like to read along and some interesting visuals if that's your thing.
So whether you're listening to the stories during your commute, while exercising, before bed, or any other situation, I hope you not only take enjoyment from the stories, but also a little spark of inspiration (magic?) to carry around with you.

Wonderful stuff!
To popular now. What a shame. Good will it lasted.
horrible narrator
Thank you as always William.!! 👍 👍
Thank you very much William. I'm afraid I'm rather stuck in my ways & absolutely not adventurous in any way so I haven't kept up with you on your Sub Stack journey, I do hope it's going well for you & who knows, perhaps I'll suddenly decide to step outside of my admittedly narrow comfort zone... Until then I shall continue to enjoy & appreciate your fantastic work here on UA-cam.! 😉 As always, please stay safe out there mate & the very best wishes from Scotland 🏴 🙏 ❤️
It's great to know that you (and others) are still enjoying the stories on UA-cam. I'd love to see you over on Substack, but I understand it's not for everyone.
Thank you William.!! 👍 👍 👍
You are very welcome as always!
Woohoo!
Great job William! Thank you!! 👏👏👏
Great to hear you enjoyed it!
Looks like my earlier comment has been deleted.
Which earlier comment was that? Please make your comment again, as I have not seen it!
I'm another "S" only person and I haven't tried to follow this channel to the new place cause when I try to learn new techy things I realize I haven't enough signal to get anything to work as long as it must to page through complicated, boring protocols that really dont keep anyone's info safe, do they? I often ask how exactly is this better?
??!
Not quite scifi. More shoot-em-up for adolescent boys. the only thing more boring than reading an action story is listening to somebody else reading one
Fair enough, some of the stories are not for everyone!
Very nice reading! 😂
Glad you enjoyed!
I have a question about The Super Opener: I found this short story on Project Gutenberg, but I'm also finding references onlinr to a longer work where the super opener is used for more nefarious purpses. Does anyone know if this short story is part of a larger work, or if this story was later expanded upon?
I believe this other version does exist, however I'm not sure how it fits with the one read here, I'm afraid!
Thanks William, There's a case for "Be careful what you wish for, or you... " Oops! Oh bugger...
Indeed! Thanks for listening.
Thanks ❤
That was a very good story
Glad you liked it!
Thank you, Mrs. Frisbee.
Thank you William!! 👏👏👏
My pleasure!
Enjoying the stories in a Sierra Nevada snow storm. Thank you sir.
Glad you like them, stay safe!
So I found you when I was desperate for a job and ended up holding a store closure sign at an intersection outside a Hobby Lobby. I seriously listened to you 8 hours a day 3 days a week. Some stories more than once. You helped me survive heat, wind, and sunburns.
Wow, I'm glad the stories helped you!
Well rounded reading content over here.
Glad you think so!
It's the change of accent when he speaks for the casino operators . Americans wouldn't make these class assumptions, and the class assumptions really are unrealistic anyway. It would be posh Lords running casinos on Mars.
These stories written so long ago are earily prophectic of today
What a great selection of stories William. I especially like the first one. Quite scary indeed! It's easy to forget that before the time of submarines much less ROVs, the depths of the Oceans were as mysterious as outer space. More so, because daily people traversed the sea, and sometimes never returned. I love seeing the denizens of the deep; Magna pinner and Humboldt squid. Siphonophores and Oarfish. Seen in the darkness down there they are truly alien. 🦑🐙
It's a whole world of undiscovered terror/beauty. Even now we still don't know a lot of what's down there!
Listening from Yosemite California. Thanks
The Bends? Not back down, up back then.🫢
Looking forward to listening to listening to these later! Thank you.
I'm listening from France.
Based on the story, Captain Peabody, Rog Phillips has no idea how the military works or how men behave under stress. It reminds me how a teenage girl would imagine how a man would react and behave under certain circumstances. 😂
Excellent stories and top notch narration ,thank you ....I think iv run out of stories ,how often are new ones released,anyone please .?
Great to hear that you enjoyed the stories! New videos are released every Friday on UA-cam. I also publish 3 other stories every week on Substack. Two of them are free (1 sci-fi, 1 other genre) and one is a novelette or serialised novel for paid subscribers. If you're interested: storiesfromtheskysff.substack.com
Love these ❤
Great to hear!
18 SECONDS IN IVE SUBBED I NEED SLEEP TY LOVE YOU
Thanks for subscribing!
Ursula K Le Guin is worth checking out...both scif and fantasy
Absolutely! Unfortunately I can't narrate them here because they are copyright protected, but she has some wonderful stories.
Great reading content.
Glad you think so!
Appalling old stories and incredibly irritating voice. If you want the equivalent of Thomas the tank engine in space then this is the channel for you
That's very unkind of you.
All stories about washing clothes, cleaning, and cooking dinner then?...let us see
"William", this sounds like an AI voice, for sure. Can you confirm?
I can confirm this is NOT an AI voice, it is my own
Candy, popcorn , hashish!!? Great stuff!
"Rule Golden" is the story that should be here
Thanks much!
You're welcome!
I came here looking for pyschology....
I miss the TOC and time stamps.
There should be timestamps in the description now - they were there but the formatting got messed up. I've changed them so you can get to each story immediately!
I'm from Texas , so a British accent carries its own weight ( jokingly and actual ) I enjoy the English distopian flavor over American ... fewer zombies
this is a funny comment because all 4 of the authors featured in this video are American
Great stories tonight!
Great to hear you enjoyed them!
Yes, please continue 🙏 to post on UA-cam, as I listen to your posts almost every day/night. Thank you 👍
I plan to continue posting every week for the long term. So glad you enjoy the stories!
Thank You so much for still posting your wonderfull narrations on YT 🙏🏻🖖🏾
Wish some stories would continue 😊 they're so captivating
I'm very happy to be able to continue sharing the stories here because I know many listeners enjoy them!
Woah! Thanks William. I am so often impressed by just how much some Sci-fi writers actually understand Humans so very well. So much so that their work is more than just speculation. It, with time becomes future mapping of a sort.
Certainly some warnings still relevant today - can we avoid those mistakes?
Quality stuff from a more hopeful time.
Glad you enjoyed these old gems!
Who's readin?
That would be me, William Sky
Very enjoyable, extremely well written & read. I found it by accident & had to listen to it during the day lol didnt get much done but it was worth it
So glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the kind comment!
