Keep Singing: a Bethyl Walking Dead Podcast

What it says on the tin. I figuratively sit down with fic author and general fabulous person Abelina (abelinajt) to talk about her fic, her history with the fandom, all about how we both feel and think about these characters and this ship, and... yeah, really pretty much anything and everything. It's very cool. Take a listen.

Last episode in the Reading Series was after the election. This one is after the inauguration. Are you sensing a trend? Regardless, in an upsetting time, here are two reasonably upsetting pieces of fanfic: chapters 4 of TheVampireCat's Burn and your intrepid host's Safe Up Here With You. I'm sorry/you're welcome.

In which we're joined by Mollie (sail_not_drift/Schwoozie) for a lengthy discussion of... Well, a lot of things. You really have to just listen. Also included: a reading of "Tune My Heart to Sing Thy Grace" (by your intrepid host), which is Christmasy in nature. Note: The music referred to in the outro (Lee Rosevere) is not in fact the music being played DURING the outro but is instead the music that appears at the end of the fic. I know that's confusing. I'm sorry.

(recorded on November 9th) In which we drag ourselves out of the pit of electoral despair and attempt to salve our wounds with chapters 3 of Burn (by TheVampireCat) and Safe Up Here With You (by yours truly). Maybe it'll work. Maybe. Worth a shot.

In which there's just an awful lot of yelling. About the season premiere, about the fandom, about a lot of things. There is also, somewhat ironically, a reading of a lovely little fic called "Hope" by ivyandocean (on AO3).

In which we (finally) continue with chapters 2 of both TheVampireCat's Burn and your intrepid host's Safe Up Here With You, concluding with Fragmented Anamnesis by cc5. I said last time that there would be a little less angst. My pants are aflame.

In which all the stuff about how we're the best that couldn't fit into part one shows up in part two. So really it's more of the same, except thanks to the SDCC season 7 trailer there's a little bit of new stuff to talk about. There's also a reading of "quoth the raven, nevermore" by alchemystique (on AO3) which will make you go awwwww and then ruin your life.

In which Keep Singing's new (semi-alternating) format is launched: Serial chapter fic rather than only one-shots. We have for your listening pleasure chapter one of Burn by thevampirecat and Safe Up Here With You by dynamicsymmetry, with This is Where it Starts by rednecksaints to cap things off with a nice angsty cherry. Best kind of cherry, if you ask me. And even if you didn't.

In which we're the best. Seriously. We're the absolute best. Here's a lengthy discussion of how best we are, and in what ways we are the best. We're so the best, I had to make two episodes to fit all the best into. There's also the usual fresh crop of fic recs delivered straight to your door, and a side of ranting. Just a teensy bit. For flavor. Plus a reading of "Will You Be My Anchor" by dynamicsymmetry (yours truly) which can be found on both AO3 and ff.net.
