The reboots, remakes, and sequels of Avatar: The Last Airbender only reminds us that people love the animated television show and the characters who reside in the world. Out of all of the main and beloved characters (Aang, Katara, Sooka, Toph, Zuko) people either know or have headcannoned their futures as adults, couples, and parents. But there has always been one character that even the official sequel show, The Legend of Korra, has never shined a light on. Azula. Fire Lord Ozai's daughter. Prince Zuko's sister. Firebending master. And ultimately arrested and taken away never to be seen again at the end of the show.

There's always one trope or Alternate Universe that every fanfiction reader never touches. It might be arranged marriage or accidental pregnancy or anything explicit, but for Sydney it's Hanahaki Disease. She has never read a Hanahaki fic, never wanted to read a Hanahaki fic, until the day a lone listener sent her a recommendation for a Hanahaki fic that might be right up her alley. Listen and learn about the origin of the trope, their favorite and least favorite parts of the trope, and if the characters make it out of this fic alive.

Our very own certified lore whore is back to lore dump on us once again. But she is back to promote and hope (fingers crossed) that you play one of her favorite indie games of the last few years. Chockful of sci-fi elements, horrifying gore, a very purposefully confusing plot line, and a hard as fuck survival system, GTFO has everything Maya could ever ask for in a video game, and she hope that she can find it an audience in our listeners.

DISCLAIMER: Before we begin today's episode, we'd like to kindly ask everyone 17 and under to not listen. This episode is full of NSFW content not suitable for minors. We're sorry for the inconvenience, but we will be back next with another episode suitable for all. Do you all remember a certain chest that Sydney has stored under her bed? Do you remember what that chest was filled with? Well it's been over a year and Sydney has dragged that chest out from its hiding spot and has opened it for all (of age 18 and older). She's dug around, rummaged between items, and pulled out a camcorder. If you are do willing, you may sit down and relax as Sydney pops in the tap she has found inside. Maybe there will be happy home videos... or maybe there will be the nastiest porn you've ever seen between Castiel and Dean Winchester.

Fanfiction author MildManneredMuse (Loving You Black & Blue) joins Sydney to discuss rejoining fandom after years of being away, how fanfiction is created for the sake of being created, the realities of needing to keep her fanfiction far away from her working professional life, and why Muse loves writing smut from a narrative and character driven perspective rather than just a pleasure-driven experience.

Is Overwatch maybe a red flag game? Possibly. Is that going to stop Maya's streak of playing the game and reading their fanfiction? Absolutely not. She hasn't stopped for eight years, and she isn't stopping now. And out of all of the characters that you could play (Maybe I'll be Tracer/I'm already Tracer, What about Widowmaker?/I'm already Widowmaker), there is one character that has captured the hearts of their fandom even after a name change.

We are in the very middle of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians television show, a show Sydney has been waiting for practically since she picked up The Lightening Thief at the age of 10. In tandem with watching the show as it comes out, she also finished reading the new Percy Jackson book, The Chalice of the Gods. And as soon as she opened those pages, she was transported back into the world of her childhood. And today, in the midst of the new years chaos, she wants to relax, take us back to the summer and to the place that started it all... Camp Half Blood.

Sydney is a certified word girl. Fanfiction, traditionally published, self-published. However the words come to her, she'll take it, but Maya has always been, will always be a video game girlie. And we are getting close to the end of the year, which means The Game Awards are upon us. To commemorate the awards and Maya's love for gaming, she is taking us through this year's Game Awards and the culture of awards, independently made products, and the love and passion the community surrounding those products has all year, award or not.

Pokémon has become a staple in every generation of child, but underneath that façade of cute, family-friendly content there's always been a dark and creepy underbelly. From disturbing Pokédex entries to Easter Eggs of ghosts and ghouls purposefully placed in game by game designers, the world of Pokémon has become ripe for horror lovers and fans of everything scary to go wild with terrifying fan theories, scary fanart (some by famous manga artist Gunji Ito), and spine-chilling Creepypastas. Creepypastas were once the scariest thing a child could read on the Internet, and while may not be cheesy and cringe in retrospect, there's something about those silly little stories that have such a special place in Sydney's heart. So mixing her love of Pokémon with her love to the macabre, Sydney's will tell two tales from the dark with the help of her friends Unown and Hypno.

Well... we've made it. Our 100th episode is finally here, and, of course, we're going to go all out. We wouldn't be here as fanfiction and fandom podcasters, as fanfiction readers and writers, or even as friends if not for one little site you may have heard of... Archive of Our Own. This site has given us so much, so it seems fitting to commemorate 100 episodes with a tribute and a bit of history of AO3.

In a slightly different episode than what we normally do, Maya is taking the reins all on her own today to dive into the wonder world of Skyrim, specifically the books inside this action RPG. I hope you all sit back, relax, and let Maya's voice (as she does her best to add voices and immerse you into these stories) lull you into joining her in her favorite massive open-world video game.
