2015
- Episode 1: Fanfiction 101 - 29 September 2015 (link to Tumblr podcast post) DJ Clawson, Katie Mayo and J.M. Frey join the mod to take fanfiction back to it’s very basics and discuss Star Trek’s place in it’s history, defend Mary Sues, weigh the pros and cons of AO3, FF.net and Tumblr, and generally explore what fanfiction is and who it’s for.
- Episode 2: Gender and Fanfiction - 4 October 2015 (link to Tumblr post)Dusty Soul and Katie Mayo join the mod to take on the extremely broad topic of gender and fanfiction. We muse on why so many women write fanfiction, their obsession with gay romance, trans characters and the language we use to refer to gender in fanfiction, and the pros and cons of A/B/O and genderswap fics.
- Episode 3: A Guide to Beta Reading - 20 October 2015 (link to Tumblr post) The mod is joined by contributors Renee and Sunny to get some insight and advice on the beta reading process. We talk about the necessity of beta readers as more and more fanfiction is mined by publishers, how to make your criticism constructive, and why you may want to check if there’s a cream for that before you have a character kill themselves melodramatically over an illness.
- Episode 4: Why Characters Have to Suffer - 27 October 2015 (link to Tumblr post) In this episode, we talk about angst, whump and hurt/comfort. We share our favourite angsty tropes, discuss why our favourite male characters are so pretty when they suffer, and generally take an emo plunge into the depths of our sadness.
