✨The Marauders Yap✨
it's here !! i did it !! y'all asked for a pod wayyyy back in july and i deliberated (stressed) for so long about it but ! it's here <3
this is a very unprofessional podcast where i (and anyone that i drag on along the way) sit and yap about harry potter ! the characters, the ships, fandom etiquette and discourses, engaging in a fandom space, creating for one, jkr etc etc -> it'll all go down here ! we're gonna yap !
Ep 1: The Importance of Fandom -> link here
this is the introductory episode so you know 🙂↕️ give him some grace 🙂↕️
i talk about how i got into the marauders fandom and what it looks like for me, and then about the importance of preserving these spaces given current events!
i yap about representation, community, and creativity and how these things are so so soooo important right now, and how we need to do our Best to keep them here <3
this is a Solo episode, just me and my dodgy mic!
the next ep will be my jkr,,, thesis? dissertation. diss track. application for a defamation claim. whichever is your preferred term for it is, it's my jkr monologue!
but for now, i hope you enjoy listening to a 20 year old wizard fan with the technological skills of a caveman that's been confronted with chatgpt yap away about fandom spaces for 50 minutes !
and thank you @itsradla for the logo and banner <3 again, tech is my worst enemy <3
(guys fr like the sound is not great sorry ! it goes very back and forth because i figured out what was going wrong AS i was editing, so i fixed the worst bits?? but i didn't want to refilm all of it because i liked that it was unrehearsed and sparsely planned ! but i promise from here on out, my mic works and i will not sound like a lawnmower <3)

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor

A few months ago, I had a few friends join the femininomenon fest, and I had major fomo. I decided to join it and brought a friend along with me (@kelpforestfire). Tonight I posted my final chapter for my snamione fic for the fest.
It was such a fun experience, and I've already started another fic for the Moony's Midlife Crisis Fest. I've made more fandom friends, beta'd more fics, and just really enjoyed finishing this little fic that allowed me to let my inner scientist nerd-out a bit.
I've had the BEST cheerleaders and betas behind me, and I've really loved the sense of community that this has given me. I've loved all the fics I've read from the fest. It really was an amazing and timely idea.
Here is the link if you want to check it out.
