Just two weathered Olds discussing the simpler (re: darker, harder, more challenging) times of fandom, the purge of livejournal and ff.net, the sweetness and light of Yuri!!! On Ice, and sharing some vintage fanfic vocab like the little Hermione Grangers they are. Don't joss it, shippers! Listen up!

We all have that one friend who's been busy having a life and has no idea what fanfic is and why we're all so into it. We at I Ship It HQ are also getting a lot of questions like "wait... it's a podcast about what?" It's time to get back to basics with a little review of the history of fanfic, how it's left its mark on the world, and a trip in the waaaaaayback machine for a recommendation from 1997.

What more could you want in an episode? Em's got you covered for our last episode of 2018 with a recap of her bizarre sex dreams, squealing over new baby kitties, and five (yes, FIVE) novel-length fanfics to keep you happily scrolling until the new year.

Tumblr's back on its bullshit and Darcy Lewis is admitting to dreams about Steve Rogers in canon. Basically. Join Emily as she rants and rages, reviews THAT TRAILER, and ties it all up with a smutty Shieldshock bow.

Although it feels kind of wrong, and kind of like cheating, Emily's talking about a Harry Potter fic SOLO this week. Forgive her, Chels! There's also a recap of a wonderful Thanksgiving meal and a discussion with herself on the fleeting nature of her holiday spirit and Grinchy blues.

Welcome to mid-November, where the words are flowing, the sass is biting, and the fics are as fluffy as they come. Join us for a little trip into the suitcase of Newt Scamander (the Newtcase, perhaps?) and remember what was just so wonderful about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Hope you're ready for a big ole' dollop of fluffy feels and squealy squeals because that's all that we've got for you this week.

According to the research, the average person cries about 2.5 times a month. Unless you’re Steve Rogers, then you get to cry maybe once every 65 years. But don’t worry! If you’re like Steve (and Emily, your emotionally stunted hostess with the mostest) and are due for a nice, big ugly cry, we’ve got just the fics to help you uncork all those yucky emotions and let them flow down your face. Grab the tissues, shippers. You’re gonna need ‘em.

While we DID read and recommend a fic this week, this little Halloween special is more "fanfic adjacent". The ladies swap ghost stories and Halloween favorites before diving into a story that honors the Whedon/Halloweentown trope and leaves you with a taste of good, clean, fanfic fun.

There are so many bad ghost stories out there, so many terrible horror movies, it can be exhausting to sort through when all you want is a good, creepy scare. But don’t worry! Em’s got you covered this week with Netflix recommendations, horror movies to binge and at last, a genuinely creepy fanfic just in time for Halloween.
