Fanfiction is Good Actually

In this very special episode, the guys from So You Think You Can Fanon explain what has become a subject of intense fixation for them over the last year: a series of self-published novels called Chain of Memories that amalgamates the author's favorite parts of several different movies, video games, and anime pretty much verbatim from the source material. Why is this series so fascinating? Why hasn't this author gotten in trouble with the copyright holder? Why are there neither quotation marks nor pronouns in any of these books? We don't know, and we probably never will.

Here it is, the long-awaited A/B/O episode, where Evin gets drunk and explains The Omegaverse to the two hosts of his other non-fanfiction podcast, Ending Pending. There is no way to summarize this episode, you just have to experience it.

BE WARNED: This episode contains frank discussion of human and non-human genitalia, discussions of tropes in fanfiction that rely heavily on "dubious consent," and generally explicit conversation that may not be the sort of thing that all audiences are interested in hearing.

You can find Andy on twitter @aonehattown, you can explain fanfiction to Ronnie on twitter @ronofthemill.

Love is real and we're here to prove it! Evin and Andy read Trans Wizard Harriet Porber and the Bad Boy Parasaurolophus and they have some opinions about it, transformative works, the power of small creators, and spaghetti.

Find Andy on twitter, and you should listen to their actual play podcast Good Neighbors, and you should listen to the podcast we're both on, Ending Pending!

For this episode, Evin is joined by Em of the Pink Milk podcast, who is a Star Wars enthusiast, a fanfiction writer, and as near as anyone can come to being called an expert on Reylo. Em kindly discusses the taxonomy of the Reylo shipping community, what drew her to this pairing, and why this group of fans is so maligned by certain other Star Wars fans. We also discuss the novel "The Love Hypothesis" by Ali Hazelwood.

Em's fanfiction recommendations are:

One Above All by AquaWolfGirl

Em's work can be found under the names RedRoseWhite (spicy) and WhiteRoseRed (not spicy)

For this very special episode, Evin is joined by Sydney and Maya of Canonically Incorrect, a fun and excellent pro-fanfiction podcast. We discuss Sydney and Maya's fandom journeys, roleplaying on Omegle, My Immortal, real person fic, After by Anna Todd, and perhaps most importantly: Wattpad and why the youths are upon it.

This episode is part of a mashup where Canonically Incorrect and I each recorded with each other, their episode is here! Give it a listen!

Do the robots have sex? Do the robots reproduce? What is "sticky"? What is the most efficient configuration of genitalia? Are nonbinary aliens problematic or a wish fulfillment fantasy? Ky and Evin confront these questions and more on this episode of FFiGA, which delves into the unique tropes and conventions of the Transformers fanfiction community.

Also the lack of an introduction is not a mistake, I'm just having a go at letting the guests introduce themselves instead of recording a separate bit, seems more efficient, but I'll decide how I feel about it as time goes on!
