Technology has evolved so much in the past decade alone, and they’re growing smarter and smarter by the day.
In this episode, I touch on the significance and impact of Artificial Intelligence in the creative space — particularly in creative writing and fanfiction. Are we really doomed to a future where the fanfic sites will be populated with AI-generated fanfics?

Headphone Warning: Some meme sfx are gonna be loud!
Lots of fictional characters are made to know more than the average person and they think faster than we do. I'm talking about genius characters like Sherlock Holmes, Jim Moriarty, Makishima from Psycho Pass, Gregory House from House, Light Yagami, L, etc. etc. The list goes on and on.
These characters are hell'a entertaining and even trickier to write. So let me vent!

It’s the first time, but definitely not the last. I am all about ships and romance and throwing my two favorite characters together.
So let’s dive into the first of many shipping talks. Let’s talk shipping wars, toxic ships, and how to avoid romanticizing unhealthy relationships when writing a fanfic that demands it for the drama.

In fanfiction writing, writing canon characters in-character is a commandment, revered and respected by the majority. Not all… Looking at all the crack fic writers out there. (No hate. I LOVE crack fics).
So in this episode, we dive into lovely tips shared by writers on Reddit, delve into my own list based on my own fic writing experience, and step back to ask, “What is the value behind doing a character study?”
Are character studies for the fun of it, worth the time and effort? Does it add value to real life or are we just really indulging ourselves in escapism that benefits us for the short time but detrimental to our own skills in the long-run?

Join me this episode as I gush about a long fic I should have read years ago.
But alas, fate led me to binge-read it these past few days. It’s called Dauntless and it’s written by Allora Gale. We deep-dive into a great example of how OCs are written and integrated with canon characters, how to keep canon characters in-character, and how this fic hit the jackpot and earned its place as one of the most legendary fanfictions in the Code Geass fandom.
Also this podcast episode was a product of my stream of consciousness. I honestly wanted to do something in honor of spooky season, but heyyy my brain is dry along that front.
So let’s indulge in the valuable lessons a fanfic story can give us about writing instead.

It's the age-old question of. Why does badly written fanfiction get more attention and become more popular compared to well-written, well-planned fanfiction?

Who hasn'ttaken a stab at crafting an OC at some point in their fanfiction journey? We've been there, we've done it. Let's talk about OCs ranging from absolute cringe to 5-star character perfection.
I figured I read a couple of interesting r/Fanfiction takes or discussions from Reddit to glean the writers' and readers' thoughts on receiving reviews and giving reviews. As a writer, are you really entitled to reviews? Do writers owe their readers anything?
Dear fanfiction authors, why do we love fanfiction? Why do we write it? What makes it so enjoyable? Why is it such a hot mess? We answer these and more.
Dear Fanfiction Authors, you’re a crazy, nutty, disturbed, demented, unhinged bunch. And SO AM I! We are in this hellhole together, so let's express our love for all things fictional and real through the wonderful, yet accursed, dimension of Fanfic Creation.
My name is Evie, and I'd love for you to join me every week as we talk about all things fanfiction. Welcome to Dear Fanfiction Authors, a Fanfiction Podcast.
