Fanfic podcast - don't judge. :D

My hubby has been listening to this podcast series about imaginary worlds and the other night there was one about fanfiction. He now has a better understanding of what I've been doing for the last eight years or so! LOL!

Link to podcast - you can stream if you'd rather not download it. One of the women he's chatting to is a co-founder of AO3.

That's kinda bloody cool, though. I forget how lucky I am with Steve and Mum and a lot of my RL (I hate that term) friends. They've known for a very long time what it is I do, have put up with me reeling off excerpts and don't judge, or if they do they keep it to their own self! lol. It's lovely he now knows what you've been doing. I gave Steve the benefit of the doubt very early on and just told him the shit I was writing, I think a lot of partners, male and female, would be okay with it if we gave them chance.

Thanks for the link xx

Cool series! How have I never seen this? Listening to the episode now.

Little FYT: the Britta Lundin they mention--who currently writes for Riverdale--has a YA book coming out in the spring, "Ship It", which sounds suspiciously like Jensen's "Destiel doesn't exist" pronouncement at that one con (I forget which). Not overwhelmed by her fictionalization of the situation, tho of course I haven't read the book. Sounds like she totally throws him and the show under the bus. Nice. (No surprise, she's a Destiel shipper.)

I'm also a little pinched that they denigrate Wincest shippers. (I can't tell one woman's voice from the next, so I have no idea who's talking.) Look, if you're gonna advocate having shippers listening to your podcast, how about not piss 'em off? LOL...

That sounds interesting, I'll listen to it later, thanks for the link. And it's good that it's given Paul a better understanding of it :)
