Coffee & Carbuncles: A Final Fantasy XIV Podcast

Coffee & Carbuncles Episode 30: Fanfiction and FFxivWrite with Moen

Welcome to the final episode of Season 3! In this episode my guest Moen and I discuss not only the good, the bad, and the cringe of writing fanfiction but also her annual fanfiction writing event, FFxivWrite over on Tumblr! I also talk about my upcoming hiatus as well as preparations for Season 4! Also, a very big thank you to past guests Synodic Scribe, Morgana Mitsuki, John is Dead, Yao of Senpan Teahouse, and of course Chille from Moogle-go-Round for voicing the intro skit. Also a huge thank you to my dear friend Nadidah who brought such great music to my podcast this season. I don't think these episode would have sounded anywhere near as wonderful without you. 00:00 Intro Skit 01:32 Opening 03:15 interview Part 1 38:22 Break (Nova de Coste by Nadidah) 39:22 Interview Part 2  1:53:28 Hiatus and Season 4 1:55:17 Outro FFxivWrite Information!
