Shit We Wrote

Aliya and Tanner are back with Stephanie Hofmann to dive into part two of his angels cafe story. If part one involved trauma dumping, part two involves weird family dynamics, adopted siblings in relationships with each other, and demons. This story took turns Aliya and Stephanie did not see coming. 

Aliya and Tanner are back with two chapters from Aliya's faerie book. Kellen and Darby have officially met now that she has transformed, and Kellen is determined to make her his. Only problem is, which kingdom does she belong?

Aliya and Tanner are back to start a new one of Tanner's stories! We get some gays and trauma dumping on a first date (aww, how sweet), as well as a magical bookish cafe. There's something kind of ethereal about the whole thing, we just can't put our finger on what it is yet. . .  

Aliya and Tanner are back with a doozy of a chapter! Darby finally transforms! What does this mean? How does her family react? Where does she go from here? Who knows! 

Aliya and Tanner are back with another finale taking place in a very special location — Tanner's car! Aliya takes the reading reigns while Tanner drives and together they finish the Adventure Fantasy series where Tanner stopped writing it, and it goes on a journey you won't expect. 

Afterwards, Aliya shares Tanner's notes for where the series would have gone had he continued with it and tease what they'll be reading next!

Aliya and Tanner are back with an episode in the car featuring the Taco Bell drive thru! In these chapters, we learn more about Seth and his rival relationship with Kellen and his weird love-before-first-sight with Darby. Now Darby has met both Kings and they have both already lied to her, like all makings of a great relationship.  

Aliya and Tanner are back with not one, but TWO chapters in this episode. While chapter two continues to set up the scene, chapter three gets into the drama by introducing Bryce back into the story (with a change in character perspective) and the main point of conflict. There's only one chapter left in this story and Aliya and Tanner are going to be sad to say goodbye to this wild world. 

Aliya and Tanner are joined by Special Guest Melissa Nelson, who reads the first chapter of a werewolf story she wrote in high school. Melissa was heavily inspired by Anne Rice and serves all the drama and goth vibes. 

Melissa can be found on instagram @ml_coates. She is currently working on her debut novel, Belly Full of Roses, which is a contemporary book with elements of horror and supernatural, urban fantasy. It centers around a medical cult and yes — werewolves are involved.

Aliya and Tanner are back with Special Guest Stephanie Hofmann to roast Aliya's chapter. They discuss how problematic it is to write a bad-boy immortal character when you're 14 and are trying to write "adult." This episode also features Stephanie's pretend adverts, fake merch and Tanner maybe getting professional boudoir photos.  

Tanner and Aliya are back with Special Guest Stephanie Hofmann to crack open book two of Tanner's fantasy adventure book. They do a brief recap for Stephanie and start the book off on an emo note. Stephanie also ends the show with a commercial for Ted Lasso, which Shit We Wrote is not sponsored by.
