And yes, something blows up.

Episode 24 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!

In the second installment of our thirteen episode series on A Year Like None Other, by Aspen in the Sunlight, I am joined by Kim and Meg for a discussion and analysis of Chapters 12-22. We revisit the characterization of Uncle SevSev, gush about the pensieve scene, while at the same time blaming this fic for my failure to win the presidency.

It’s just another day at the office for PotterFicWeekly.

Happy reading!

Episode 23 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!

For the next thirteen weeks, PotterFicWeekly will be discussing and reviewing A Year Like None Other by Aspen in the Sunlight. AYLNO is a Snape/Harry adoption fic, and we welcome both hardcore fans and new readers as we venture away from canon for our third outing. That’s thirteen weeks of Jen stories. Thirteen weeks of Chi’s microphone cutting out, prompting her to sing her little heart out while the rest of us are trying to podcast. Thirteen weeks of Uncle SevSev!

Join Jen, Tina, LadyChi, Kim, and me as we review Chapters 1-11 of AYLNO. I could break the episode down into humorous bullet points at this point, but I’ll simply leave you with this.

Remus Lupin is a lubricant.

Happy reading!

PotterFicWeekly is pleased to present our fourth and final special edition podcast in this series: a discussion of the end of canon and its effect on fanfiction. As luck would have it, our hosts agreed on everything and wrapped the episode in thirty minutes flat! After all, PotterFicWeekly is a well-oiled machine.

Consensus was our target. We were the laser.

To those of you who are regulars at the PFW forums, listen to us on a routine basis, or who are alive in any sort of way will have found the funny in that description. If not, www.potterficforum.com. Click on register. It’s the best decision you’ll ever make.

This was one of those episodes that didn’t really work unless you heard what happened in early soundcheck, after the closing credits, and during all of the moments that usually end up on the cutting room floor. For that reason, and because I spent most of my week in the car where podcast editing is somewhat discouraged, we present to you our first extreme episode of PotterFicWeekly. You’ll hear the madness that goes into a typical PFW recording session, with very little editing or cuts. We hope you enjoy the perspective, and the bonus dose of Jen. Let us know what you think, and maybe we’ll do this again sometime.

For those of you who get enough PFW in your week already, the real episode starts around the 30:00 mark, and Mac’s mailbag starts about 27 minutes from the end.

Happy listening!

PotterFicWeekly is pleased to present our third Special Edition Podcast: a discussion and analysis of Deathly Hallows.

Believe me, you won’t find a deeper discussion anywhere else. This thing needs wheels.

Join the entire PotterFicWeekly forum for a comprehensive yackfest of the final Harry Potter novel. I’m then joined by Mac and Danielle who offer a more philosophical review of Deathly Hallows. LadyChi fills in for Mac with this week’s mailbag, so if there are any veterinarians in the house, please see LadyChi after the show.

PotterFicWeekly will be back with a fourth special edition episode sometime in the next week where our overly medicated crew will discuss the end of canon and its effect on fan fiction, and then we’ll be back with our series on Aspen in the Sunlight’s A Year Like None Other. If you have any thoughts on these topics, send in voicemails. Mac loves it when people call him.

Okay, the podcast is over four hours long. Why are you still here? Go. GO!

PotterFicWeekly is pleased to present our second Special Edition Podcast: The End of Potter Survival Guide.

Join Ryan, Jen, LadyChi, and 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!

Episode 22 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!

We have a two-part episode this week! Rinna, Jen, LadyChi, Mac and I close out the final four chapters of Melindaleo’s The Seventh Horcrux, and then Melinda joins the show to answer our behind-the-scenes and frankly drug-induced questions. I’d like to offer my eternal gratitude to Melinda for putting herself on the hotseat these past few weeks and allowing us to put her fic, once again, back under the microscope. Drinks are on me.

The myspace URL I give in tonight’s episode doesn’t seem to be working as of release time. This one should work.

PotterFicWeekly is going to take a breather over the next few weeks. Well, not so much. We’ll be shortly coming out with a podcast primer for fanfic beginners, and late next week we’ll release a thorough and likely lengthy review and analysis of Deathly Hallows. Once we absorb everything, we’ll release a podcast covering where we feel fan fiction goes from here.

From there, we launch a thirteen-week series devoted to our our third fic, Aspen in the Sunlight’s, A Year Like None Other, starting on August 15, 2007. Read ahead! We can’t wait to get started!

As for now, enjoy the canon, stay safe from spoilers, and we’ll see you on the other side.

Happy reading!

PotterFicWeekly is pleased to present our first Special Edition Podcast: an analysis of the newly released Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix film.

Join Jen, Mac, Melindaleo, and guest-hosts KateLestrange and Xaphania from the PotterFicWeekly forum for this comprehensive discussion.

Happy listening!

Episode 21 of PotterFicWeekly has been released! Any only two days late!

I am joined by Jen and Mac and am pleased to welcome lightening-free Rinna back to PotterFicweekly! Along with Walmart, yokels, and emergency rooms, we discuss Chapters 24-29 of The Seventh Horcrux, by Melindaleo. No singing in this episode, although we left Mac alone with a microphone. Sorry about that.

We hope you’ll visit our forum, and also send in your written and audio feedback on this episode, and for our upcoming discussion on the final chapters of The Seventh Horcrux.
