I MET YOU ON LJ: A Fandom Podcast

Episode #052: Tchotchkes & Headcanons

Watch your eBay bids! This week, Maggie and V answer a fan-picked question from @lazaefair​: what is the deal with curatorial fandom, and how is it different from transformative fandom? Since Maggie and V are both fanfic writers, they turned to the biggest collector and non-fanfic-person they know to speak to curatorial fandom: V’s dad. Plus, two adults in their 30s lose their whole minds over Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez in The Sandlot.

#OEDraw from 9/29:

JUNKBALL: (n.) Baseball. A pitch that relies on movement rather than speed, such as a breaking ball or knuckleball.

“Let me tell you something kid, everybody gets one chance to do something great. Most people never take the chance, either ‘cause they’re too scared, or because they don’t recognize it when it spits on their shoes. This is your big chance, and you shouldn’t let it go by…”
