Summary:

What it says on the tin. We also can’t believe this is happening. Buckle in, buckaroos - this is an episode of The Fic List that is not to be missed!!!

This episode contains spoilers for the novel “Bury Your Gays,” by Chuck Tingle.

Chuck Tingle is a USA Today bestselling author, as well as a two time Hugo Award finalist and a Bram Stoker Award nominee. He is a mysterious force of energy behind sunglasses and a pink mask. He is also an anonymous author of romance, horror, and fantasy. Chuck was born in Home of Truth, Utah, and now lives in Los Angeles, California. Chuck writes to prove love is real, because love is the most important tool we have when resisting the endless cosmic void. Not everything people say about Chuck is true, but the important parts are.

Chuck self-publishes erotica and romance and releases horror novels through Tor Nightfire. You can find a copy of “Bury Your Gays” here: https://tornightfire.com/catalog/bury-your-gays-chuck-tingle/ as well as at your local bookstore and/or library.

Author's Notes:

We’re wrapping up season 5 of The Fic List with a 2023 Wrapped! ...At least, that was the plan, but as these things tend to go, we…uh…got a bit sidetracked. Instead, join us for a spirited (and slightly unhinged) retrospective in which we talk about everything from the strikes to John Stamos puking up his guts. It was certainly a year to remember.

Summary:

As of the recording of this episode (September 2023), both the WGA (Writer’s Guild of America) and SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actor’s Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) remain on strike. As such, we begin our dive into more generalized fandom topics with everyone’s favorite fake gangster movie: Goncharov! Join us as Erin introduces Alan to the internet meme that took on a life of its own, and explore how it reflects on the fandom experience: good and bad. Full of so-so jokes, rambling tangents, AND an exciting announcement - this episode of The Fic List will have you on the edge of your seat! (or keep you moderately entertained!)

Summary: And now for something… a little different.

As you may know, both the WGA (Writer’s Guild of America) and SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actor’s Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) are currently on strike (August 2023), which is having a wide range of effects on film, TV, theater, and fandom. In this episode, we are pivoting from our usual content to talk about the strikes - why we care, why you should, too, and how we can all be in solidarity with the folks on the picket lines. Also, there are a LOT of tangents - Mothman squishables and Great White Sharks, anyone?
