Wanna hear Tyler have a straight asthma attack because he's so exited? Then listen to this episode. Tyler sits down with Kelsey Dionne, the creator and author of the Arcane Library. She writes modules for D&D, putting her love of the game into a storytelling medium that is as hard to pull of as any. They talk about the passion of wanting to make a living by doing what you love, how having supportive significant others is literally the best and they talk books!

It’s official. Fan fiction has gone mainstream. Specifically, erotic fan fiction. Hannah makes Tyler listen to the success stories of E. L. James – author of the “50 Shades of Grey” series – and “After” writer Anna Todd. Both women started their writing career by imagining alternate storylines for existing characters – or in Todd’s case, Harry Styles of the British pop-group One Direction. They self-published online and then, after literary bigwigs saw their enormous success, revamped their stories through traditional publishers, raking in millions of dollars and snagging movie deals on top of it.

Tyler read nothing for this episode, his least amount of preparation yet, though he still managed to chime in with some insight.

Hannah read “50 Shades of Grey” and “After” and skimmed the movie version of the latter. She recommends you skip all three, but if someone puts a gun to your head and demands you choose one, pick “50 Shades of Grey.”

Stephenie Meyer, author of the mega-hit “Twilight” series, is alternately beloved or hated depending on which circles you run in. Hannah and Tyler discuss her background, almost overnight ascent to fame, close relationship with her fans, and the actual content of her books. Warning, Tyler has a super spicy take on the underlying theme of “Twilight.”

Hannah read “Stephenie Meyer: In the Twilight” by James Blassingame Jr. Tyler read “Twilight.”

Hannah finally gets to meet a longtime friend of the show/immensely talented writer whose work you should be familiar with if you’ve listened to our flash fiction specials. Brianna Fenty shared her experience writing a novel, getting an agent, and navigating the publishing world. But no matter how much success you have as a writer, she and Hannah both bonded over the fact that saying words out loud is just really hard.

“You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion.”

Sci-fi writer, Navy veteran, and prolific liar L. Ron Hubbard starts the Church of Scientology and gets rich in part two of our discussion. Hannah and Tyler lose their minds over the times he casually kidnapped his daughter and wife, the bizarre world that was Sea Org, and his creepy army of “messengers.”

Hannah and Tyler both read “Bare-Faced Messiah” by Russell Miller.

Laura Nettles blew us away in the sci-fi flash fiction episode with her story "Rust," and as Hannah learns in this episode, she wrote the miniature masterpiece in just 20 minutes based off a one-word writing prompt. Laura only started writing seriously within the last few years (after she heard about NaNoWriMo), but she's already racked up bylines in several anthologies and has more on the way. Plus, she's got a super cool day job lighting monsters in movies like "The Shape of Water."

Wickedest man alive or sad, wandering man with no meaning in his life? Tyler and Hannah talk about the life and times of occultist Aleister Crowley. For those who don’t know Crowley by name, he inspired countless people including L. Ron Hubbard (founder of scientology) and musicians like Ozzy Osbourne, David Bowie, and Jimmy Page.
