Author's Notes: It's None of Our Business with D'Manda Martini

Welcome back to the Fic List Presents: Author’s Notes, an interview series where I chat with creative-type people about their experiences in and relationships to fandom and fan culture.

As such, please welcome to the Author’s Notes podcast-stage, the Chanteuse of Southern Maryland, Drag Queen, Cosplayer, WATCH Award Winning Actor, and 4x-Nominated Costume Designer, D’Manda Martini!

Chapter 41 - What A F*cking Segue [Omegaverse]

IT’S PRIDE Y’ALL Well, technically, it’s just after Pride month, but it’s never *not* Pride here at The Fic List Headquarters. And what else could we possibly choose for our grand return to the podcast but Omegaverse fic??? After all the panels we’ve done on the topic, it’s a shock even to us that we’ve never discussed it here before! So, here we are. Gather up your suppressants, make a nice lil den, and settle in for a delightful romp through some alpha/beta/omega gender-f*ckery. As always, special thanks to our supporters on ko-fi, especially our Friends of the Pod - Danielle, Rose, Liow, Ali, Dione, and new member Cly!

The Fic List Presents: Author's Notes: A Conversation with Daniel Thrasher

Welcome to the first ever episode of The Fic List Presents: Author’s Notes, an interview series where I chat with creative-type people about their experiences in and relationships to fandom and fan culture. My name is Erin, and you might know me as one cohost of The Fic List podcast (or as that girl you see on Tiktok sometimes when your FYP sends you jokes about fanfiction). I am a 20-year veteran of the fandom trenches and a former professional arts administrator with an interest in bridging the gaps between creators and fandom. In today’s episode, I am excited to welcome filmmaker, actor, comedian, musician, and fellow former camp counselor Daniel Thrasher to talk about the epic highs and lows of life as a digital creator. You can find Daniel on Youtube and other platforms via his linktree: https://linktr.ee/danielthrasher Are you a professionally creative person?
