About
As of 8 February 2022, the About section of I Ship It's official site read:
Who built shipper city?Once upon a time, a little girl with a lot of imagination and not a lot of friends saw a movie and decided she wanted two of the characters to fall in love.
And then they didn’t.
And while some children would have accepted this, this particular little girl decided that the ending presented to her was bullshit and took her Mead composition book up to the treehouse and wrote a different ending.
Fast-forward twenty something years and you’ll find that same little girl behind the microphone of this weekly podcast, talking about the ins and outs of fanfiction, the ups and downs of living the fangirl life, and hyping up anyone who will listen about all the things she loves this week.
Did you start out reading stories about your favorite books and shows and movies in dark corners of the internet like geocities websites or a listserv?
Did you feel like you had to hide your love of fanfic from your friends and family for fear of being branded ‘weird’ or ‘cringey’?
Do you just think that most showrunners and screenwriters these days have no goddamn idea what they’re doing and need a place to let those thoughts and feelings be known?
Well then step right up, friend, there’s a place in Shipper City with your name on it!
Join us each week while we talk tropes, OTPs, and review fics from our topic of choice. If you’ve ever wondered if there were other people just like you in the world, this podcast exists to prove that there are.

| 13 | N/A | Cringe Binge Vol II
You know how everything last week was sunshine and roses and excitement over broadening horizons? This week is more like digging around an actual dumpster trying to find your last contact lens so you can focus on the finer details of the garbage around you. Em went searching for some cringey fics this week, only to be disappointed (and vocal!) about some parts of fanfic that just don't need to happen anymore. No links this time, ships. Emily suffered enough for all of you. |

| 14 | The Lord of the Rings, Batman (franchise) | N/A | Cringe Binge Vol III
How tall are dwarves supposed to be? Are they comparable to hobbits? And how do humans figure into this equation? A lot of questions get asked, very few get answered or, honestly, even merit a response. Otherwise known as the week that Emily read something from a fandom she did not understand and refused to ask for help. Also, there's some talk about the now infamous Batman peen. Because of course there is. |
The Mapmaker Series by From the desk of the Raven |
| 15 | N/A | Cringe Binge Vol IV
One for the books, shippers. Chelsea's back to bang out the last of Cringe Binge 2018, listen to all the stupid things Emily did this week, teach her how to plug in a USB cable, and insert some much needed sanity and levity to this month of cringey goodness. Fair warning: we had to plow through an awful lot of smut this week so this episode is full of NSFW language and topics so maybe don't listen to it with your grandma. Unless she's cool. Then go for it. |
