April 01, 2022 53: Fandom Classic: My Immortal

This episode takes a deep dive into all that the fic has to offer, from contentious debates about authorial intent to the intricacies of time travel.

Alternate titles include: "Diabolo is Our Friend", "My Immortal was Good, Actually", & "Hot New Craze: My Blorbo"

For our slightly-belated Valentine's Day episode, we've returned to an old theme - gen fic!

Gather round for a celebration of 50 (!!) episodes of the pod! Something we've discovered with this many episodes of podcasting is that we have a lot to say about fanfiction. Often we have more to say than can possibly fit into one episode, and so we decided to return to some favorite fics we've previously discussed. The topics are all brand new however, as we question what it means to have a happy ending, highlight how sci-fi is a reflection of humanity, and talk about monstrosity both explicit and implicit.
