Fangfiction

Today we discuss: distributing Pokémon fanfiction at the school library, the masculine version of a Mary Sue, Al Gore, and the best way to finish a chapter.

In the MIU: the love triangle DEEPENS, we celebrate the arrival of another new character (with the world's most tragic backstory), and Ebony throws down in Potions class.

We are characteristically unprepared today, but we finally stumble across a discussion: love triangles! Turns out, neither of us are particularly well-equipped to discuss love triangles, but we can agree that My Immortal offers up an extremely juicy version of a love triangle. We learn that Tara didn't read all the boox before embarking on this work, which justifies her (absolutely fantastic) characterisation of Dumbledore. Ebony receives a terrible ultimatum, Draco creeps around corners and pops up at inopportune moments, Ebony goes to BAND PRACTICE, and we finally see some SPELLS!

LANGUAGE WARNING: some extremely outdated and unacceptable language comes up in these chapters. We do not condone the use of language that maligns anyone, which we hope we have made clear on mic. Goes without saying, but words like these can and do harm, and we urge our listeners to work to remove this kind of language from use.

Chapter 3: Duality brings some much-needed warm fuzzies into the MIU.

Shooting on 'Zac?' has hit a few road bumps, perhaps due to the increasingly erractic behaviour of the executive producer and titular character, so Zac is able to make it into the studio again. Starting off with a strong mansplanation of how art works and a reveal of his current Hollywood BFF, Zac then pitches an innovative plan for how we can monetise the podcast before we dive into Chapter 3: Duality.

Raven declares what time period her work is set in (2006, DUH) and confirms that Eternity is indeed joining the first years at Beautiful Castle (trademark), then we follow Draco and Panny into the dungeons. Eternity sees a VERY familiar face, and then the night goes on "really well."

Chapter 4: Bring Me To Life literally wakes Eternity up inside (can’t wake up).

Thank goodness we get to talk about gold enemas, a welcome distraction as production on ‘Zac?’ comes to a halt due to Jared Leto’s ‘Morbius 2: More Bees’ commitments.

FINALLY we get some incredible outfit descriptions, including pink stuff and pointed boots. Darren makes a request for human blood, ants are turned into pencils, AND we get the most EP!C toast!! To depression! To darkness! To vampires! To heavy metal music! To this mini-season almost being over!

We're doing some new and different things! This is the first episode of our mini series to see out the end of the year, using content from a listener to expand the MIU and lead into a reboot of My Immortal.

Today we are joined by a special guest for the very first time! Christina, host of The Restricted Section, joins us to read through some listener content!

Jamie (@my_agricultural_romance), a fanfic writer and horny simpleton, has sent us a goddamn THESIS! In this episode we read his background research on the connections between serpents, sorcerers and vampires in traditional folklore, and how these tropes are used in the Harry Potter novels. This is all setting us up to read his My Immortal reboot fanfic, and makes a very compelling argument for the canon confirmation of Vampire Potter.

Unrelated tangents include: tits and breastfeeding, Ralph Finnes' biceps, and a truly horrifying anecdote about a friend of a friend who got bitten by a snake and took a nap. We continue our discussion of how vampires suck blood, and Christina has our favourite suggestion thus far.

We highly recommend you listen to The Restricted Section, a pro trans rights, anti JK Rowling Harry Potter podcast. You can follow them @restrictedsectionpod. You can also follow Christina and her publishing house Wildling Press.

Jamie is on the socials @my_agricultural_romance. On Archive of Our Own he is CryptidCatKid, where he is planning to do some similar worldbuilding and rewriting with the Supernatural finale in November.
