Summary: As of the recording of this episode (September 2023), both the WGA (Writer’s Guild of America) and SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actor’s Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) remain on strike. As such, we begin our dive into more generalized fandom topics with everyone’s favorite fake gangster movie: Goncharov! Join us as Erin introduces Alan to the internet meme that took on a life of its own, and explore how it reflects on the fandom experience: good and bad. Full of so-so jokes, rambling tangents, AND an exciting announcement - this episode of The Fic List will have you on the edge of your seat! (or keep you moderately entertained!)

Summary: And now for something… a little different. As you may know, both the WGA (Writer’s Guild of America) and SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actor’s Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) are currently on strike (August 2023), which is having a wide range of effects on film, TV, theater, and fandom. In this episode, we are pivoting from our usual content to talk about the strikes - why we care, why you should, too, and how we can all be in solidarity with the folks on the picket lines. Also, there are a LOT of tangents - Mothman squishables and Great White Sharks, anyone?

Summary: HELLO AND WELCOME BACK TO THE FIC LIST - SEASON 5!!!

Summary: It’s BOGO - two fics for the price of one! (Actually, we just couldn’t get ourselves together enough to record proper holiday episodes… oops).

Summary: Things continue to be ~wild~ here at Fic List Headquarters… and yet, we persist! In this distinctly-not-a-Halloween-episode, we’re talking Hanahaki AUs. Soft Boi Alan (TM) is not particularly thrilled with this endeavor, but you know… sometimes we suffer for things we love. Much like characters with Hanahaki disease! Wow. So full circle. …enjoy, lol Author's Notes: We have a website now!
