The fanfic which answers the question that all Avatar fans were wondering - “what if Iroh adopted a seven year-old Katara?” Wait, that’s not the question. “What contortions of canon would be necessary to get Katara and Zuko to make out?” That sounds more like it.

(TW: gaslighting, grooming, abuse)

Lurking in the margins of Chamber of Secrets, a pretty “meh” book, is a pretty amazing fanfic. Special guest CJ returns to discuss innumerable pages of teen girl journaling and abusive relationships. Ginny Weasley proves to be a badass. Tom Riddle is very proud of his anagrams.

An infamous fanfic which some Star Wars fans thought was a leaked treatment for Episode 3. Would we pay $15 for this in 1977 money? What’s cooler, using the Force to blast someone with lightning, or using the Force to run an evil-sorcery school on another planet? And is a Merchanter’s Guild less boring than a Trade Federation?

(TW: sexual assault)

Pikachu burrows into an evil sentient Rock Pokémon’s body and makes it explode to death. That’s in chapter 1. Obviously, we’re in for quite a ride. Luckily, former Pokémon fanfic writer Taran is here to help keep us on-track.

Great Scott! Special guest Serena joins us to discuss a Back to the Future fanfic. Is any time travel actually involved? Is the antagonist of this fanfic also the main character? How incestuous is the McFly family, exactly? How will sewing machines play into all this?

It’s our Christmas episode, and nothing says “Christmas” like heated, bitter arguments between family members with different beliefs. Try to guess which Turtle converts to Lutheranism. Then try to guess which Turtle is a total asshole about it. (That one’s Raph. Obviously it’s Raph.)

Jason the Red Ranger must come to terms with the fact that he and his friends kill sentient beings, like, all the frigging time. Who are the REAL monsters here? Probably the heartless capitalists at Saban. And maybe also the Pumpkin Rapper.

A classic of Sailor Moon fanfiction, full of tender moments, gory violence, and people being really goddamn nosy about Raye’s teenage sex life. Mina becomes an unappreciated transhumanist superhero. Tuxedo Mask falls off a tree branch and almost dooms the world.

Special guest CJ replaces Amado to talk about wars in the stars. Young Princess Leia bonds with Lord Vader, who is as cuddly as a superpowered murder fascist can be. If you think this will end in death and betrayal, you are familiar with Darth Vader.
