My guest this week is the amazing morgan_magic, aka the 'Fest Queen' (at least that's what I call her!!) She joined me all the way from Australia to chat about her work and engage in general silliness. I hope you enjoy our rambling yap fest, interspersed with moments of topical focus. (The topic being Draco Malfoy's abs.) We played a fun round of 'Either Or' and learned some interesting tidbits about each other. Namely that she thinks everything is a test that she has to pass, and I am unserious and love mayonnaise. You can find Morgan_magic on AO3 and Instagram.

The Flase Dichotomy presented by "A Katy or a Gaga" posits that Gaga is as dark and edgy as Nine Inch Nails, and Katy Perry is a bland and non-sexual entity. I - we - what?!

Not again... This week, Emily and V look at yet another time that a fandom cannibalized one of its own because of popularity. This time, it's Voltron: Legendary Defender fandom in the summer of 2016 and the massive fic (an all-time all-AO3 kudo-haver!) "Dirty Laundry" by gibslythe. While we didn't read the fic, and thus our opinions are colored by those of the people who wrote up the drama minute-by-minute and day-by-day as it happened, we predictably have a lot of feelings about how fandom always... effing... does this. Featuring: The Bee Movie, Babe 2: Pig in the City, and Spaaace Chiiiimps.

Podfic Time – “It's a Moose” by Masoena and art by AomaSadeThis story is a perfect example of an awesome collaboration where one creative spark ignites another. Masoena provided a prompt for Winternatural 2023 that artist AomaSade grabbed by the antlers. From the idea came some amazing artwork and a sweet, hurt/comfort fic.AomaSade went above and beyond, actually redesigning the original artwork for this podfic. Many thanks for letting your creativity flow into this remix of all your work with Masoena!Visit the fic on AO3 and give it a kudo and comment - it deserves a ton of praise!Listen to all of our Ramble On Podfics by visiting the Podfics in the Impala series on AO3.~ Sandra~~~~~Supernatural FandomRating GeneralDean Winchester & Sam WinchesterSummary:A real, live moose in the bunker's library pulls Dean out of his sleep in the middle of the night, he goes to explore trusty 1911 and knife in hand as he comes face to face with the massive wild animal who looks to be injured.

In this episode, Sandra and Kasey are joined by Masoena, a prolific creator and passionate cheerleader in the Supernatural fandom. Known on Tumblr and AO3, she first made her mark with a Supernatural fanfic back in 2018, but it wasn't until 2023 that her writing truly flourished. Since then, she's embraced the world of fanfiction, participating in various bangs as both a writer and artist, and taking on the role of challenge mod. Join us for a deep dive into her experiences, as we discuss the complexities of writing about the beloved Winchester brothers, Sam and Dean, and the joy of J2 and multishipping.

In this episode, we get to yapping about one of my favorite fics of the year (so far), Turning Pages by Jenetica. A story based on a film, based on a book, based on a fic!! A hall of mirrors, if you will.

Joining forces with Jackie (jinkieswouldyoulookatthis) and BJ (darali_starscream), they explore the creative process of writing and producing a podfic together.

Episode Notes This week, after being completely out of our depth on K-Pop, Nick and James continue the trend by looking at music they know of. Join us, as we answer hard hitting questions like: Who is the most popular British Singer RPF? Can they even get to Ao3 now the UK is hell bent on blocking adult content? Who is the most popular Musician on Ao3 that Nick has heard of? All this and more on this weeks Shipping Forecast Enjoying the show? Got a fic you'd like us to read?

Spongebob Squarepants is a subject we've somehow discussed heavily already on a prior episode, but what if instead of tedious debate regarding the vital statistics of this cartoon character we just moseyed on over to AO3 instead and read about his private life with Squidward? Much like how andersd5 wrote exhaustive stories about Chris Redfield […]

This episode was a long time in the making. If you've been listening, you'll recognize the name Caroline Sedgefield. I've gushed about her fics in many episodes and have gotten lucky enough to call her a friend. We got to chat about ALL of her fics, learn about her travels, and what inspires her.

Sandra and Kasey welcome a relatively new initiate to Supernatural on today's episode. Crowleysmistress is a Samifer lover whose philosophy is “proship even if not my personal headcanon.” Straight from her tumblr bio, she believes fanfic “helps process life, improve writing skills, and make online friends.” A member of Idling's Discord server, Crowleysmistress exemplifies and shares all of those beliefs in fandom communities.Enjoy a chat about fanfic, fandom, and much fanning over Sam!You can find Crowleysmistress and her fics on tumblr and AO3.~~~We're taking you for a spin in Baby's backseat.Dean's House Rules - Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole, and the ones in the back enjoy the ride... idling in the Impala.~~~~~TL;DR - If you can't be bothered clicking on all the things in this description, just visit our website: idlingintheimpala.comWe'd love to hear your thoughts.

On today's episode of Fully Booked, returning guest KimBoo York guides Craig and Roland through the rich and vibrant world of fanfiction. Having recently published a book on the subject, KimBoo is uniquely suited to unpack what fanfiction is, how it's written, and why so many writers find it a rewarding creative outlet. From the early days of Sherlock Holmes pastiches to today's thriving online fandoms on platforms like AO3, she explores the genre's evolution, terminology, and community-driven roots. The conversation explores why fanfiction resonates so strongly with both writers and readers, how it fosters community, and what it offers in terms of honing voice and craft. Because fanfiction involves writing in someone else's universe, the discussion also touches on legal considerations and how some writers have transitioned their works into original, publishable fiction. Whether you're a longtime fan or simply fanfiction-curious, this episode offers a comprehensive look at the form's creative power and lasting appeal.   KimBoo York https://houseofyork.info/   Hidden Gems Need our help publishing or marketing your book?  https://www.hiddengemsbooks.com/author-services/   All episode details and links:  https://www.hiddengemsbooks.com/podcast

New episode out now! We watched the 1993 film The Fugitive starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. We discuss the two main characters and their dual and layered investigations that evolve over the course of the film, love the action and stunts as well as the tension that carries between them throughout, enjoy the camaraderie of the US Marshals team, and think Harrison Ford is just so great at playing a guy who's Going Through It. We also get surprised over and over by recognizable character actors, wonder if certain cliches stem from this movie, really enjoy the score, and debate what happens after the movie's credits. Katy uses official medical terms, Carrie worried about the surgeon's hands, Maddy shares a story about a prison visit, and Mack looks up some AO3 statistics. We also have many questions about paper charting in a hospital, get weirdly proud of being Irish during St. Patrick's Day parade scenes, compare our rating systems, and talk about Batman yet again. Listen to hear more about hospital rollerblading, fridging, trenchcoats, hair dye techniques, and Harrison Ford's powerful finger.
