It’s our first…. Guest? We welcomed Mike Schubert from the Potterless podcast to indulge in some whatever with us. Then we made him curl up into the fetal position, screaming. Just some classic insanity.

In this episode we read a pairing and a story that doesn’t really fit into traditional fan fiction tropes, so most of the time is spent confused and yelling. Like that’s any different than normal...

In this episode Kim delves into a very common trope and we get some of the best characterization we’ve seen so far. We loved this story, and we hope you do too. #badplans

Get ready for a very special episode. This story is what one might call OOC (or Out Of Character) in all the right ways? We’ll let you be the judge.

In this episode Sequoia picks some fics that are truly insane and Kim can’t figure out what’s going on. It’s all about the text here folks.

We’ve made it all the way to Episode 5! Our first fic is almost exclusively intended to drive Kim crazy, and our second fic is… wow. Hold for the text, because this one gets you right at the end.

This two story episode starts out with a classic fan fiction trope, and then it gets… sexy? If you guess the pairing for the second story, we will give you a million dollars.
We will not give you a million dollars
That’s irrelevant though because you will never guess.

Today is Nineteen Years Later!
All is well.

Episode two is all story all the time. We went a little over time… but we swear it’s worth it. The Veela’s Nest is a one in a million fic. And no, it wasn’t tagged Alternate Universe.
