Fiction Fans

Romance, smut, erotica, pornography. Whatever you call it, we've read it. In this steamy bonus episode your hosts are joined by Krystle Matar, author of Legacy of the Brightwash, to talk about sex in storytelling. We discuss both fanfiction vs original work, as well as Krystle’s experience being both a reader and writer of the genre. Includes the segment “sex words are weird” and a not-so-brief visit to the Pet Peeve Corner.

Your hosts fail at basic movie trivia in their discussion of “Maskerade” by Terry Pratchett. They discuss how the book’s heroine defies the expectations of those around her, manipulative witches, and the Opera House as a character. They also argue about which death is the saddest. Sara commandeers a Words are Weird segment to talk about Nanny Ogg’s cookbook, The Joy of Snacks.

In this episode, Sara cheats you out of many very funny "horologist" puns while your hosts discuss "Thief of Time" by Terry Pratchett. Your hosts also talk about the inner workings of Igors, what makes a good pun, and the alarming lack of Susan in what is theoretically a book in the Death series of Discworld novels.

Your hosts finally reach the end of their Discworld reread with The Shepherd's Crown by Terry Pratchett, and they're feeling all sorts of ways about it. They talk about Tiffany Aching's arc over her mini-series as a whole, tying up (and leaving) loose threads, and everyone's favorite Kelda, Jeannie.

In this episode, your hosts are joined by Ben from Literature & Lofi to discuss Storm Front, the first book in the urban fantasy series Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. They compare the book to popcorn--while it might not have any nutritional value, it’s still pretty dang good. Your hosts are excited to learn more about this urban fantasy world where apparently studio apartments have a separate bedroom and place the first book somewhere on the sexism spectrum between “forward thinking and awesome” and “oh god why.” They also talk about how the word "tummy" should not be used to refer to adult bodyparts.
