NEW OPEN TABS - the gangs all here and we're talking about our literal, actual, open fanfic tags. opentabs.libsyn.com/2-13-jennife...

2-13: #Jennifer's Transforming Quadrupedal Robot Centaur Body
Show Notes
On this episode of Open Tabs, the gangs all back together and consequently back on our usual bullshit (complimentary). We're taking it back to fun, frivolous and actual fandom roots and talking about what's literally in our Open Tabs.

A lot of the anti non canon ship discourse is a mixture of a complete collapse of creativity and the continuing inability to not need characters to be morally pure to be interesting or worth investing in.

NEW OPEN TABS! This one's even kinda... Smart people shit? Sort of, we read and discuss the full text of The Death of the Author essay (yes the FULL text) but Sydney and Bugs are still both consuming substances while they do it. opentabs.libsyn.com/2-12-the-dea...

It's been a helluva week but we not only have a new Open Tabs episode for you, but we've got one featuring a fanfic author who's out there writing in the trenches and he was kind enough to step back from the keyboard and chit chat with Tappy for a bit 👀👀 opentabs.libsyn.com/2-11-authors...

2-11: #Author's Note #Actually! #Applause All Around
Show Notes
On this episode of Open Tabs, we've got a real, living, breathing, not-currently-stressing-under-a-deadline-or-at-least-not-enough-to-be-too-busy-for-us FANFIC AUTHOR! in the metaphorical recording booth with Tappy. We'll be keeping his username and his works private (at a very reasonable request) but we are so excited to hand him the microphone and let him introduce himself and talk a little about what its like to be tapping away at a keyboard on the other side of the screen!

NEW OPEN TABS EPISODE in which we tackle some of the recent issues being discussed (mostly badly) in internet fandom spaces. Because 22 year olds have opinions and that at least means we have job security. opentabs.libsyn.com/2-09-in-brow...

2-10: #In-Browser Reading #Internet Drama #I don't know about you, but the internet is sounding REALLY 22
Show Notes
On this episode of Open Tabs: Sydney and Princess are back from various overseas adventures and all three hosts are ready to talk about the lastest hot mess of fanfic and fandom related internet drama. How is there ALWAYS more? Job security for us at least.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

All you do is take all the sex out, and use little short words, and little dumb ideas, and don't be too scary, and be sure there's a happy ending. Right? Nothing to it. Write down. Right on.

If you do all that, you might even write Jonathan Livingston Seagull and make twenty billion dollars and have every adult in America reading your book.

But you won't have every kid in America reading your book. They will look at it, and they will see straight through it, with their clear, cold, beady little eyes, and they will put it down, and they will go away. Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic.
