Americans: You can narrate anything in a smooth English accent, and it sounds awesome. It's like spreading brie all over your frontal cortex, eliminating all of your B.S.-detectors. Someone with an English accent is saying it, so it must be brilliant. Right?"
I'm working on a fill myself, but I'd love if anyone else took a shot at it.

It was by sheer good luck that Arthur found the blog. He wasn't really one for sci-fi, though he took pride in the fact that his people had produced some excellent things, things that America and Canada gushed over. He liked hearing them tell him how brilliant he was, he liked that they would display knowledge of his lands and his people based on the shows, but personally, he, Arthur Kirkland, preferred the classics

"Oh," he said, cutting himself off, and checking his pocket-watch ostentatiously. "I think we had better return to the meeting. It's a quarter past one already."
Alfred shook his head, as if emerging from some dozing spell, and Arthur bit his lip to keep from laughing at the dazed look on Alfred's face. Before America could say anything, Arthur was half-crooning to him in the accent that was proving _very_ effective, telling him his 'suggestions' for later, what they should discuss, what he 'hoped' America would do...
Alfred trailed after Arthur all the way back like a puppy, ears all but cocking for the slightest word from his master.
Arthur was grinning when the two of them entered the meeting room. He looked forward to seeing how well the voice worked in - other situations.

Alfred clicked wondering what kind of fill it would be with Arthur's accent. I mean, he hearded it everyday and everyday it was yelling it at him. He sighed and read the prompt then smirked.
'Oh really now..'
As he read, he imagined Arthur's voice and speaking to him about whatever. Oh god... This is awesome! Alfred immediately wrote down his comment,
"Oh God I love you so much! Please write more, I NEED IT LIKE AIR! I love how you use current events, and Arthur´s so damm hot and aww, I loved it!"
He posted it when he heard a certain someone call his name. He closed the laptop and got up to see what Arthur wanted. Maybe, just maybe, he can get the Brit to do this for him..
