Determination, Deliberation, and Dragons

We had the pleasure of interviewing author Kalynn Applewhite about her upcoming book, Awakening Anne. Izzy and Peter had the pleasure of reading the first chapter of the book, and they ask Kalynn about what inspired her to write it, what it's like doing research for a novel set around World War 1, and what keeps her going as a writer.

Our first workshop of Season 2 features a story submitted by a familiar voice on the podcast, Julie Wilson! She tells us a little about her story, We Were Once Once, and then all our other writers offer their thoughts on something they thought the story did well, and something that could be improved. We end, of course, by sharing our favorite lines from the story. If you want to hear Julie's story, check out Episode 2A

Welcome to season 2 of Determination, Deliberation, and Dragons! For this season, we will primarily be workshopping stories written by a few of our friends. Each month, one of our writers will share a story with us, and the entire group (all 8 writers) will offer feedback. In this episode, we'll be introducing you to our wonderful cast of writers and talking a little bit about what you can expect in season 2. In addition to the workshops, get ready for some fun episodes including a conversation with author Owen King, a look into how Orientalism is present in the Star Wars universe, Izzy's quest to get Peter to watch more Studio Ghibli, and so much more!

Now that we've workshopped each of the nine shorter stories that make up the first Pana book, we thought it would be interesting to take a look at the book as a whole. In this workshop, we welcome back Master of English Julie Wilson, and talk about characters, plot, LGBTQIA+ representation, and some predictions (and spoilers) for where the story will go from here.

Have a happy and healthy New Year! As the Greeks say, χρόνια πολλά! (It directly translates to "years many." In this context it means "have many years.")

Hello! We just wanted to stop on by and give you a quick update about season 1 of the podcast. We'll be releasing our final episode of the season shortly, and then we'll take a short break as we work on season 2. Keep an ear out for updates on that early next year. Until then, we hope that you have a wonderful holiday season.

The end is here! Not the end, but the end of what will hopefully be the first book in the Pana cycle (Peter is currently working on book 2). Pana finally reaches one of the world devastating weapons left over from The Cataclysm, and meets up with an old friend. We talk about finales: what makes a good one, what we want to see, what we don't want to see. To introduce the episode, we talk about the short show, Over the Garden Wall, created by Patrick McHale.

We are so excited to be airing this final Pana and Waveskimmer episode. It's been so much fun workshopping this story, and we hope that you enjoyed the journey as well. Now that Peter is in grad school and Izzy is working, we're not sure when future episodes will be coming out. We'd love to continue chatting about creative writing and sharing our thoughts and conversations with all of you. It would help us if you were to check out our Patreon, follow us on Twitter, rate and review us wherever you get your podcasts, and share the podcast with your friends, family, colleagues, students, neighbors, pets, or whoever you think might enjoy it.

Darth Maul was a fan favorite when he appeared in Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. Even after his apparent death, he returned to life in the animated show, Star Wars the Clone Wars, only to keep fighting his old enemies. Eventually, in Star Wars Rebels, the character dies for what may be the final time, exhausted, in the arms of Obi-Wan Kenobi. That scene has stood out to Peter for a while. They've heard various takes on the matter, and now offer their own interpretation of what occurred and what it teaches us.

Here on Determination, Deliberation, and Dragons, we love chatting about Disney's, The Owl House. We just watched the first episode of season 3, and wanted to share our thoughts with you. Is Belos or The Collector the better villain? How does the show diverge from our limited understanding of what horror is? Are Giraffes really that scary? We answer all these and more in this episode.
