Back in the dark days before AO3, children, we used to have to upload our fanfiction to an oddly-designed website designed for personality quizzes, and some people were very into second person narrative 15 years before Tamsyn Muir made that cool and socially acceptable.

We also discuss the novel "The Love Hypothesis" by Ali Hazelwood.

Fanfiction is Good Actually - Ep 12: The Ballad of Several Unrelated Soras
play

12/18/21 • -1 min

In this very special episode, the guys from So You Think You Can Fanon explain what has become a subject of intense fixation for them over the last year: a series of self-published novels called Chain of Memories that amalgamates the author's favorite parts of several different movies, video games, and anime pretty much verbatim from the source material. Why is this series so fascinating? Why hasn't this author gotten in trouble with the copyright holder? Why are there neither quotation marks nor pronouns in any of these books? We don't know, and we probably never will.

Do the robots have sex? Do the robots reproduce? What is "sticky"? What is the most efficient configuration of genitalia? Are nonbinary aliens problematic or a wish fulfillment fantasy? Ky and Evin confront these questions and more on this episode of FFiGA, which delves into the unique tropes and conventions of the Transformers fanfiction community.

Also the lack of an introduction is not a mistake, I'm just having a go at letting the guests introduce themselves instead of recording a separate bit, seems more efficient, but I'll decide how I feel about it as time goes on!
