Hello! I was trying to relisten to some past episodes but noticed they didn't work on any of the podcast catchers I use. Is there a way to relisten to previous episodes of the show that were released? Thank you so much for your time and I hope you have a good day!

Oh no! It should still work, we're still paying for it... let me (V) investigate what's going on. In the meantime, if you are looking for a fannish podcast, I host This Week In Fandom History with the lovely @idontgettechnology of @ishipitpod and you would likely enjoy that!

[imetyouonljpodcast]

Happy New Year! It's the first week of January, and V and Emily are exploring the effects of LiveJournal's sale to SixApart Media on January 4, 2005. Fandom is an eternal wanderer, forever losing its homes on the internet. Was this sale the harbinger of things to come? How did updates to LJ's terms of use affect fandom and fanfiction? Will fandom ever find a forever-home online?

This Week In Fandom History is a new fandom-centric podcast that tells you... what happened this week in fandom history!

Co-hosted by V @aimmyarrowshigh (I Met You On LJ) and Emily @idontgettechnology (I Ship It) and edited by Laz @lazaefair, This Week In Fandom History celebrates fandom culture's highest highs and weirdest lows.

With which short-lived vampire cop drama was the very first X-Files fic crossed over? Who is Tara Gilesbie? How recently did the Starsky & Hutch Lending Library rent out its last zine? What were Strikethrough, Racefail, LGBTFansDeserveBetter, and Conchobar, anyway?

V and Emily trade off some deep-internet research each week to learn and laugh (and sometimes rage) their way through the annals (heh) of fandom history. Come join us!

Oh, Aaron.

He was the most troubled and messed-up person I've ever met in my life, but he was also one of the most charismatic. His Jukebox Tour, which is LOST to the Internet, was the most well-produced, danced, and arranged concert I've ever seen.

If he had different parents, things might not have ended this way, but I think that oversimplifies the demons that man had.

Everyone deserves a support system, and ALL child stars should have non-familial advocates in their corners to be that support system when their parents can't or, in the Carters' case, won't. I want to think Aaron was among the last generation of truly exploited child stars, but...

Anyway, I will never again, in my life, feel an adrenaline rush like realizing that I was seeing Aaron Carter's sandwich roll past on the craft services cart. That was the best night of my life.

If you're looking for song recommendations to mourn: "It's Just You," "To All the Girls," and "Hey You" are my favorites.

And rapping the entirety of "Aaron's Party" is my party trick forever.

Once upon a time, Marvel and the MCU created characters (both good and bad) who were all pretty much, under the surface, redeemable figures.

They said, "Bad guys are just misunderstood good guys and if we can't make you love a character we can at least make you sympathize with them by showing you how they were tormented by the evil Nazi regime that's at the heart of all the bad stuff in this universe."

And we were like, "Yeah, fine. Cool. I'm on board."

And then somewhere along the line, the PTB decided that the message they really wanted to put across was that everything bad that happens to you is your fault and your trauma is something that you need to apologize for. And V (@aimmyarrowshigh) and Emily were like, "Huh-uh. Not on our watch."

Basically, we're not super stoked about Thunderbolts, alright?

Corrections Corner: V was right, Emily was wrong, and Damien Echols is not in prison any longer for a crime he didn't commit. But he was. For a long time. And it was because of Satanic Panic bullshit.

V (@aimmyarrowshigh) is back to share in the joy, the bliss, the unmitigated rapture that comes from finding a new ship in unexpected places. Yes, it is true that Chrissy and Eddie only had a brief moment together in canon, but fanfic has done what fanfic does and ensured that their love will blossom and live forever on the internet.

Also, a less-than-friendly reminder about parasocial relationships, another million reasons why bullying is never, EVER okay (ESPECIALLY when it's over fictional characters, people,) and some sad news when Emily reminds 99.99999% of the population that, try as they might, they will not be marrying Joseph Quinn.

Hey, just wondering (if you're still answering questions here) in ep. 40 you mention that you'll be doing a sequel to it, discussing the other big fandom wanks, but none of the later episodes seem to be that sequel. Am I missing it, or did it fall off the storyboard at some point? Thanks!

Hi! Unfortunately, that episode fell off the storyboard when we realized that we needed to end the show due to outside (read: work) time commitments. :( I'm sorry you were looking forward to it! We were, too, but it just didn't work out.

[imetyouonljpodcast]

Hello! I just wanted to ask who does the graphic design for your podcast because they are doing an absolutely smashing job! Especially loved the citrus scale chart, I would definitely wear a shirt with the little citrus outline background pattern. Hope you keep up the podcast and 2022 treats you well!

Hi, sorry for the late response! V @aimmyarrowshigh did all of the design for the podcast, with help and input from Maggie to keep it from being too maximalist (haha). Thank you so much!

[imetyouonljpodcast]

Is the #060 episode the last one ever? I just want to emotionally prepare to listen to it hehe

It is :( Barring something totally crazy happening that we HAVE to discuss with you all, in which case we'd do a short special update, Episode #60 is the Final Episode. :(

In ye olde penultimate episode of IMYOLJ, Maggie and V discuss all things knight-in-shining-armor, especially Heath Ledger in A Knight's Tale, Dev Patel and his fancy chest in The Green Knight, and the travesty that is the DCOM Avalon High.

Thank you so much, Emily! V is on the show and Maggie's fic gets a glowing rec, so everyone should head over to @ishipitpod and check it out!

Not everyone can tell an entire story in exactly 100 words, but those who can't (Emily) should take a lesson from those who definitely can (our new friend, V/@aimmyarrowshigh). Learn the ins-and-outs of the drabble as well as hear all the tea about Dream Street fanfic, early internet stranger-danger, and that mom who sold her daughter to One Direction.

Hello and happy 2022!

In the interest of trying something new this year, I am offering a Patreon with my original (non-fanfiction!) writing. Each week, Patrons will receive a piece of original writing at least 1,000 words long, whether in the form of a chapter of a novel-in-progress, a personal essay, a media review, or something else altogether. This will not be fanfiction and will also not replace the fanfiction that I write for free for everyone. This is just a bonus available to people who are interested in my non-fanfiction writing, and I hope that there are at least a few of you out there!

The first piece for the year is already up on my Patreon page: the first chapter of a cozy mystery that takes place in a Jewish deli. I really love this WIP and all of its colorful characters, and I hope that you will, too. At the lowest tier, $3/month, the price for a full year of Patreon will equal the cost of a hardcover book, only you’ll get 52 weekly “chapters” of material instead of one big chunk all at once.

Even if you don’t care about the original writing, but you would like to show support for whatever reason, I hope that you enjoy this Patreon. I’m really excited about the possibility of sharing some non-fanfiction writing with you guys for the first time in a very long time. 💕

This Episode Covers…
