Podcasts about cockygate

Romancelandia, the fellowship of romance authors and their readers, is a famously supportive and tight community. Until it isn't. This week, the guys plunge into the #CockyGate scandal, wherein romance author Faleena Hopkins tried, rather cockily, to prevent other authors from placing a commonly-used word into any title of any published work, anywhere, anytime. As you might suspect, things didn't go great for her.

We need to talk about J.K. Rowling and what the heck to do now after a lifetime of loving Harry Potter! In this very special episode of I Met You On LJ, Maggie and V interview someone right in the thick of things: FictionAlley creator, OTW volunteer, and intellectual property attorney Heidi Tandy, also known as Heidi8. Tandy has worked on behalf of fandom in fair use and copyright cases for the last two decades, and talks with V and Maggie about early Harry Potter fan conventions, the dark ages of FanFiction.net, and what to do now that J.K. Rowling has revealed herself to be as dark and twisted as a horcrux.

My guest today is a ball of light -- Jacki Hydock, model, actress, and painter who shares how she found herself by traveling to another country where not knowing the language inspired communicating with people in other ways. Her positive nature is sure to inspire you. Come with me…

In Ep. 4 Londoner Priyanka Rose dropped by the "Breaking Free with Faleena Hopkins” podcast to explain how she constantly manifests great things in her life, a dark time she conquered, and even give some fantastic tips on how to make new friends, how you can connect with people anywhere and everywhere you go.

In our first episode of Breaking Free with Faleena Hopkins, Instagram and YouTube Influencer Lani True shares her darkest moments, how she now follows her heart no matter how bumpy the ride, and gives inspirational advice to those who want to get un-stuck.

In Episode 3 film producer Joe Barbagallo shares how he left a 'normal' life behind to pursue the dream of his own film production company, the unusual method that was used when when he was a teenage that forced him to go to Italy and level up. Joe shares much more than that and gives you stellar advice on how to go for it in your own life.

We did it! We have finished the end of Cocky Surgeon, by Faleena Hopkins. Cockygate is almost at an end! Does Caden get to come back to Atlanta? Does Janet get....what....she....deserves?  We discuss how preachy this book gets (there's a lot of preachiness at the end) and even discuss Faleena's 7 tips on writing romance and if they are actually used in this book.  And truly, this book gets the ending it deserves in this episode.  Follow us on Twitter | Facebook | Facebook Group Music this season: "The Porn King" by The Funky Filter

Elle and Meg are back! We discuss the court case briefly: what actually happened in the court room and why the case was dropped.  As for the book, we read three chapters: two boring weird medical chapters sandwiching FINALLY SOME SEX. Is it good? Is it worth the wait? How awkward do Elle and Meg get?  Follow us on Twitter | Facebook | Facebook Group Music this season: "The Porn King" by The Funky Filter

This week, Chad and Tom return to basics--more book talk than industry talk, a promise to release a new episode every other Wednesday--but start off with something that's very, very Three Percent: #Cockygate. Although the #Cockygate lawsuit is interesting in its own right, it's the breakdown of the seedy underworld of gaming Kindle Unlimited that really catches their imagination. Then they recommend a few new books (both from New Directions), and finish by talking with Emma Ramadan about her translation of Pretty Things by Virginie Despentes. Here are links to The Governesses and The Hole, and here's Emma's fairly odd picture. This week's music is "Bleed Turquoise" by Bleed Turquoise from Bleed Turquoise. As always, feel free to send any and all comments or questions to: threepercentpodcast@gmail.com. Also, if there are articles you’d like us to read and analyze (or just make fun of), send those along as well. And if you like the podcast, tell a friend and rate us or leave a review wherever you get your podcasts!    

This week Elle and Meg read chapters 12-15 of Cocky Surgeon! We were going to talk about the court case this episode, but too much ridiculousness happens in this book that we had to talk about these chapters.  But you know what doesn't happen? Sex.  Elle comes up with the best game to make this book actually interesting, and spoiler: it doesn't involve just drinking more. We also try to remember anything about the Cocker family from week to week and try to make sense of what the plot of this story is.  Follow us on Twitter | Facebook | Facebook Group Music this week: "The Porn King" by The Funky Filter

Elle and Meg are back this week with Chapters 8-11! We get some awkward flirting, a hand job where you would least expect it, and the sudden realization that the side characters are the better characters. Also, should you discuss politics in a bar?   Follow us on Twitter | Facebook | Facebook Group Music this week: "The Porn King" by The Funky Filter

Hold onto your butts while we finish up The Unleashing by Shelly Laurenston! There's talon sex, there are fights, there are dream demons, there's an avenging crow dog with a metal muzzle, there's A LITERAL TRIP TO VALHALLA, and all the juicy, sweet, straightforward romance a person could ask for. Have you ever thought to yourself "a doggy door could be the catalyst to my proclamation of love"? Neither had Vig or Kera, but it's the sweetest thing ever.  Bonus Content:  COCKYGATE, the (s)heroics of Penny Reid, Army Combat Water Survival AKA Never Volunteer for Anything In Army, beehive coups, and much more!  Self Love Recommendations:  Erin: Get yourself some plants. Or some MORE plants! Erin hit the motherload at a garage sale the other day and filled her house with a bunch of 40 year old plants who have known nothing but love. Bliss.  Melody: Seek out something you loved in your childhood and re-experience it. She watched the Phantom of the Opera movie because it was randomly added to Netflix and she remembered an old love.

This month's writing episode was inspired by Pamela Cook's blogpost on making the decision to switch genre. Pam talks about making the shift out of rural romance and into commercial women's fiction for her latest book and explores what it's like to be working with an agent for the first time, pitching her book. All fired up, the ladies get political this episode, breaking down everything from "Cockygate" to the fraught realm of writing race. A new emerging author has joined the W4W ranks, Lauren Chater! Yay! Lauren will join Pam and Kel over the coming months to talk about writing and publishing her first novel, The Lace Weaver.

**Content warning: This contains a trigger warning for a dead dog in Killing Eve and also mentions mild spoilers for the endings of *Time Was* and *Person of Interest*.** After repeated technical failure, Brooklyn Wallace finally manages to chat with Austin and Amanda about her upcoming black F/F romance *Sugar and Ice*. Predictably, the group is sidetracked by Cockygate, bad 1920s New York accents, Smokey the Bear's racism, and messy characters in F/F. Amanda Hollywood—Amanda Jean's brand-new and far superior successor—has high praise for *Killing Eve* and a murderous robot, and Austin has two book recommendations.

We explore "writing for the market" and weigh in on "cockygate"!
