And welcome back to our first ever return guest, the incomparable A. LoveUnlaced! I am SO unbelievably glad to end the year with an even more in-depth conversation with my long-time friend and incredible artist Ada about all things smutty. Maybe don’t play this one around the fam during the holidays… or do. Who are we to judge. You can find Ada online on all platforms as A. LoveUnlaced! A reminder that Ada’s work is NSFW and for audiences 18+ only. Here is Ada’s carrd: https://aloveunlaced.carrd.co/ Are you a professionally creative person?

    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.

    Chapter 40 - A Multimedia Experience Called Life [An Interview with Chuck Tingle]

    Summary: What it says on the tin. We also can’t believe this is happening. Buckle in, buckaroos - this is an episode of The Fic List that is not to be missed!!! This episode contains spoilers for the novel “Bury Your Gays,” by Chuck Tingle. Chuck Tingle is a USA Today bestselling author, as well as a two time Hugo Award finalist and a Bram Stoker Award nominee. He is a mysterious force of energy behind sunglasses and a pink mask. He is also an anonymous author of romance, horror, and fantasy. Chuck was born in Home of Truth, Utah, and now lives in Los Angeles, California. Chuck writes to prove love is real, because love is the most important tool we have when resisting the endless cosmic void. Not everything people say about Chuck is true, but the important parts are. Chuck self-publishes erotica and romance and releases horror novels through Tor Nightfire. You can find a copy of “Bury Your Gays” here: https://tornightfire.com/catalog/bury-your-gays-chuck-tingle/ as well as at your local bookstore and/or library.
