Fanpals

And wow, things in the world have ALREADY changed so much since recording! Anyway, this is Liz's panini recap, featuring Noah Reid (shoutout to former Rosebuddies!), Ever Given/Suez canal fanfic, and the phrase "rawdogging other people's faces." You're welcome. Also content warnings for (brief mentions of): brain fog, body/self image/weight, aging parent health, death. (If we missed any let us know!)

It's finally time for Liz and Mel to get their Rise of Skywalker feelings off their chests.

A million years ago we recorded an amazing episode with fandom networker Bessyboo, and it only took Liz this long to edit it. :grimace: If you really want to hear some retro internet/fandom lingo, then you MUST give this episode your full attention.

MUCH! LONGER! We also talk about how we can help normalize fandom. We'd love to hear your thoughts on this in particular.

WE'RE BACK! Did you miss us? (Or, more likely, did you not even notice we were gone?) We missed you. Let us tell you what we've been up to. Here are some rough timestamps for this episode, in case you want to skip bits: 0:15 - Intros & updates 2:00 - What about our old episodes? 8:15 - Fandom projects we're currently involved in (Spread the Love, saving the Yahoo! Groups, NaNoWriMo, Yuletide) 34:15 - What's been occupying our fannish brains in the last couple of months Plus, Liz pitches an idea for a serialized fiction podcast loosely based on Mel's real life drama.
