In Episode 195, "Fandom Life Cycles," Elizabeth and Flourish respond to a voicemail from listener Gin/myrmidryad about their appreciation of a "closed canon"—in this case, a show ending—when it comes to fanwork creation. Some fans love this relatively stable ground; others complain that with no new material on the horizon, a fandom is "dead" or close to it. They also read a response to the previous episode on whump, and talk about idfic more broadly.
