    Chapter 12 - Multishipping and Polyamory

    We’re talking about shipping this week, friends! Becca and Hannah Davey are cheerful multishippers and this statement takes up a few minutes of our episode until we derail completely to talk about polyamory and its depiction in media and fandom. Hooray for OT3s! Neither of us (as of the recording) has any experience being polyamorous, but we have friends who’re living and loving that poly life, and we support more polyamory depictions in stories! Especially if the story addresses the question: how big a bed do you have to get to fit everyone? Our show notes, fic recs, and sources can be found at taggedtforswears.tumblr.com.

    Chapter 11 - Fan Creation Formats and Memes

    We talk a lot about fanfic on this podcast, because Becca and Hannah Davey are prolific fanfic consumers, but fanfic isn’t the only way that fans  create things based on media. There are tons of other formats that fan creations can take! Fanart, bound books of fanfic, animatics (short  animation sketches), podfic, TikToks, musicals... There’s a lot of cool things that people made because a story inspired them, and we think that’s awesome. Listen to us discuss some of our favorites, as well as some fandom creators who went on to make amazing original works of their own.

    Chapter 10 - Soundtracks and Fanmixes

    Becca and Hannah Davey love music! So much! They love music a lot and have many feelings about music! Sometimes, all these feelings come from a really slammin’ soundtrack. Other times, we make the feelings all by ourselves in the fanmix factory. Either way, we’re having a great time talking about the value that music can bring to a piece of media or to a fandom. Need music recs? We have you covered this episode. It’s a nice, meandering chat about music and all the value it lends to our lives and our stories. Enjoy!

    Chapter 9 - Fandom History: Supernatural Hell

    We survived a historical fandom event that coincided with a national political tipping point. Do you remember where you were when the American election results were still being counted and a certain show was nearing its final episode? Recorded around the time all this was unfolding (November 11, 2020), Becca and Hannah Davey witnessed Tumblr melting down on November 5th due to rumors of Vladimir Putin’s resignation, the collective breath the world was holding as we counted the votes for the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, and the homophobic gay love confession on the show Supernatural’s penultimate episode. That’s right, fandom friends, we’re going to take you back to Super Gay Hell. To be clear, neither Becca nor Hannah Davey watch Supernatural. We spend most of this podcast just reciting our favorite memes that emerged, including a follow up recorded in January 2021 of our favorite meme that emerged a little later due to translation times. This was a big, messy fandom deal, we lived it and laughed a lot. It was bizarre to experience such a tense time politically and such a bewildering time in fandom.

    Chapter 8 - Asexuality and Fandom

    It’s been a long while since Asexuality Awareness Week (the last week of October 2020), but that’s when we recorded this episode and dang it, Becca and Hannah Davey have THOUGHTS about asexuality in media and in fandom! As we say in this podcast’s intro, we’re going to talk about sex this episode, but in a very removed way. We keep it together for the first half of the episode, discussing canon asexual characters in original works as well as ace representation in fics, but we get into some personal opinions (as two bi aces) about sex, virginity, societal shaming, and assumptions that people make about asexuals (and just relationships in general). If that sort of discussion sounds uncomfortable for you, you can bail once the music starts playing 40 minutes in. Our show notes, fic recs, and sources can be found at taggedtforswears.tumblr.com.

    Chapter 7 - Fandom Breakups (plus D&D advice)

    Fandom breakups hurt! It can be bittersweet when you just lose interest in a fandom, or it can be because the Thing becomes Rough to enjoy.  Hannah Davey and Becca have gone through some fandom breakups with the same media and we discuss those things and why we drifted away. DISCLAIMER: We don’t want to convince ANYONE to stop enjoying their thing! Please enjoy a thing if you like it! We are just talking about that sad feeling of no longer being able to enjoy a thing to the degree you used to, for various reasons. Sometimes fandom helps sustain interest, sometimes a thing changes too much, sometimes a piece of media ends and it’s Done and so are you. Also, we end up taking a biiiiig tangent (because it’s happier to talk about than fandom breakups) into giving D&D campaign advice if you want to play or DM/GM.

    Chapter 6 - Songs and Fic and Fandom on Social Media

    Hannah Davey got excited to talk about a topic and accidentally discovered a whole new subsection of fandom that Becca didn’t find articles on—how fans interact with songs/artists/music! From fanvids to Wizard Rock, using song lyrics as fic titles, remixing something to make something new, and fanmixes... That’s kind of what we cover. We take a biiiiiig tangent to talk about fic reading and writing habits during the COVID-19 quarantine (which we are still in). We take a further tangent into tagging to engage/disengage with fandom and how to generate a following on social media, and Tumblr vs. Twitter.  Our show notes, fic recs, and sources can be found at taggedtforswears.tumblr.com.

    Chapter 5 - A Fandom Game: Fandom Guessing (and Video Game Chats)

    It’s time for a guessing game! Fandom fixates on some VERY specific  things sometimes, so Becca and Hannah Davey each take a turn describing a  fandom they know nothing about except what they’ve seen on Tumblr, and  then the other person tells them what they got right. And then we try to piece together what Among Us is (we have played a SUBSTANTIAL amount of Among Us since we recorded this episode, don’t worry, we know what it is now). This leads us into talking about video games and video game literacy.  Neither of us are gamers, nor did we grow up gaming, but we are both kinda curious about the story possibilities!

    Chapter 4 - A Fandom Game: Slow Burn/Fake Date/Enemies to Lovers

    Have you heard of FMK ('''bang'''/marry/kill)? Hannah Davey and Becca play a fandom version of the game in this episode, purely for our own enjoyment. Listen to us play 10 rounds of Slow Burn/Fake Date/Enemies to Lovers with some of our more... obscure shared fandoms. We cite our reasons for our choices, we are very thorough. Then we just chat some more about fic tropes we like. We have a lot to say about that. Our show notes, fic recs, and sources can be found at taggedtforswears.tumblr.com.

    Chapter 2 - Fandom Archiving

    In Episode 2, Becca and Hannah Davey talk in-depth about AO3 and really go down the  fanfiction archive rabbit hole. This episode has it all - internet  fandom history! Long passionate monologues about non-canonical archiving  practices! The origin of the term “lemon”! Reasons why Spock is  simultaneously the most and least shippable character of Star Trek!
