I can't believe I'm typing this, but this is the 400th episode of the Cryptid Creator Corner!!! For this very special 400th episode Jimmy chats with first time guest Meghan Fitzmartin about her and Lisa Sterle's new series with Boom Studios: Mary Sue. Issue 1 is out October 8th. Jimmy and Meghan chat about the origins of the term "Mary Sue", the value in fan fiction, how much of Meghan is in the character of Cassie, TV shows that were cancelled too soon, and, of course, Meghan's time in the Supernatural writer's room. Meghan penned the episodes "Peace of Mind" (Season 14) and "Drag Me Away (From You)" (Season 15).

From the Publisher:

Despite what her mom thinks, Cassie has lots of friends—they just all happen to be online, where she can talk to them about her beloved favorite show, Riverview, and get their feedback on her fan fic WIP, starring Jessica, her very own hot vampire OC.

But her fic writing persona is revealed to the entire school when her former best friend finds it and can’t resist reading some of it out loud to their classmates.

Cassie thinks things can’t get more humiliating, until her very own Mary Sue pops right out of her fic to save the day—or make it much, much worse.
