Today in PuffCast, we finish up our discussion of “Teddy Lupin and the Forest Guard” by FernWithy. We revisit explosive topics such as Yellowstone and Susan Bones, reference both Star Trek and the Muppets at once, and there’s juuust a little bit of sports.  Tricia and OG are FANGIRLS, Scott has a visiting ghost and Sue is distracted by “The Talk.”  We do talk about the last chapters of Teddy Lupin, where we learn about the Charmer and what’s in that interesting ivy in the forest.  As we near the final chapter, our discussion becomes increasingly focused and incisive–and then Kelly joins us, and the tangents ride forth once more.

Then, Fernwithy joins us for an interview, once we overcome our technical difficulties.  Interesting discussion ensues, which includes further fangirling, forum promotion, and Oliversgal’s thoughts on the redemption of House Scrimgeour.

We encourage you to check out more of Fern’s stories “here.”  Tricia particularly recommends Shifts and Shades, and Teddy’s own story continues in alternating years.  Not to mention Albus Potter and the horde of Hermiones.

While your Poufwa hosts are busy recording their thoughts on Deathly Hallows, Part 2 at this very moment, PotterFicWeekly is pleased to look back and re-release our second Special Edition Podcast: The End of Potter Survival Guide.

First released on July 28, 2007 in response to the release of the final novel, Poufwa prepared an audio triage kit for our friends and families outside the fandom who didn’t realize that the story didn’t have to end. As you come across these lost souls on their way to grief counseling in the next few days, we’d like to encourage you to share Poufwa and the fandom with them, starting with this classic episode.

And whether you’ve never been, or a long lost Poufwanian, we’d like to invite everyone to the PotterFicWeekly forum located at potterficforum dot com. Long after we run out of fan fiction, the hosts and listeners of Poufwa will still be very much involved in each other’s lives, and we’re always looking to expand the family.

Back to the past.

Join Ryan, Jen, LadyChi, and INTRODUCING Spellcast’s Robert Standring as we offer a brief introduction to the world of Harry Potter fan fiction, including our best recommendations for those who may never have considered fan fiction, but are now desperate for more story. We encourage you to recommend this episode to fellow Harry Potter fans as a way to bring them into the fandom.

To make the transition easier, this will the our shortest episode of PotterFicWeekly yet. But not to disappoint our regular listeners, we all take a sex quiz.

Happy listening!

This is our third episode dedicated to “Teddy Lupin and the Forest Guard” by FernWithy. In it we find out that Oliversgal is a Mary Sue and a fan girl, Aaron’s true feelings for Robert and that Sue has killer chickens. Oliversgal, has glasses that insist on hitting the microphone as she talks and Aaron is typing throughout, but he doesn’t fall asleep. Scott’s neighbors have strange mowing habits, while Kelly’s mute button almost works. We forget we aren’t Peons anymore and bring some of our favorite Peon moments back for all to enjoy.

We have a some burning questions: What house is Jo in? What do you do for Christmas? and Who do you feed to a dementor?

Sue pulled out most of her hair while editing this and it’s still a little rough, so hang in there.

Special Edition 28 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!

In this flash-from-the-past, Poufwa reviews But I Want to be a Weasley!” By Deadwoodpecker. We recorded it on Kayla’s birthday two years ago and we thought it would be fun to release it on her half year birthday. At least that was the plan, until the server wouldn’t take the password. Typical Poufwa. Ryan stepped in and saved the day, so we are getting this out on her half birthday by the skin of our teeth. Kayla we hope you have a great half birthday.

Oh and we talk about Harry Potter and the Weasleys too.

Later while we are exploring the chapter we find out Winky’s in charge, Professor Longbottom is fair and that James is a Teddy seeking missile. And at some point there might be Muppets.

We start out in a VW Bug and end up on a “Mission from God” and along the way we discuss pet names, experimental wands and marching band for ghosts. The Smeltings sticker makes us wonder and “Muggles and Minions” tempt us to stop in the Hufflepuff common room for a game. Once again, Kelly is the odd Ravenclaw out, but we are Puffs, we love her anyway. Oh, and Oliversgal never did get her dog.

Special Edition 27, Poufwa’s commentary on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been released! A bunch of women and Ryan got together to watch a movie. But Poufwa isn’t Poufwa without it’s own set of problems. This episode, Ryan was sharing his microphone with two of them. Expect computer dragging, Snape-loving, sobbing over elf-sized corpses… and then we started the movie. Strap yourselves in and hold on tight – you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll feel utterly Poufwanian doing it.

Episode 121 has now been released!

In this episode we go back to the world of the Founders, as we discuss Moon and Stone by Andrea13 and Persephone_Kore. Well some of us do, some think we are reading a Marauder’s fic. This is the fic PS found after reading Tale of a Time Long Gone and being challenged by Ryan to find something as good. PS says this one is better.

Lassie and Tricia aren’t convinced and Lassie has this to say, “she’s really grumpy on this podcast – If she remembers correctly it was because she was stuck in the suburbs for 10 days- she apologizes and amends that she remembers it was a very good fic.”

Also in this:

Salazar is a werewolf, and is having a bad day

Helga the Cheerful Hufflepuff and Salazar the Snarky Slytherin

Rowena/Godric and Helga’s the third wheel

Lassie doesn’t like that the founders get paired up together

Tricia is stuck in the dryer because of her shiny new computer.

Werewolf-sized Tupperware

There’s a line of people who want to hit Salazar over the head

Poufwa begins, they’re all mad
