August 24, 2022 Ficlet 1: The Fic List, or Taking Fanfiction(Mostly)Seriously [A Panel at FanExpo Boston 2022]
Summary:
Welcome back to the Fic List, everybody! This… is not the new episode you’ve been waiting for, lol. It’s our panel! From FanExpo Boston 2022! Where we espoused the many virtues of fan-fiction to an expo floor full of people who were mostly just looking for somewhere to sit down! And that’s fine, tbh. We get it. We still had fun, even if we were gently heckled by middle schoolers. Enjoy!
Thanks to Chuck Load of Comics and FanExpo Boston for both the opportunity and the live recording!

July 18, 2022 Chapter 30 - Cover Them In Blood (feat. Berk) [College AU Redux]
Summary:
It’s, uh… It’s been a wild ride the last few weeks, y’all, and it’s only about to get wilder. In this episode of The Fic List, we welcome the one and only Professor Alpha, aka Berk, aka @icaruspendragon, to completely destroy us with kindness, humor, and some legitimately life-altering Destiel fanfic. The moral of this story is to chase your dreams, because sometimes the people you admire on the internet actually check their DMs.
You can find Berk across platforms as @icaruspendragon (and if you like us, you should follow them, if you haven’t already!)
