Long Fics (Or, Is This Abandoned?)","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":4096,"description":"In this episode, Jo (@pebblysand) and Lani (@copper-dust) return from their summer break to discuss the world of long fics. They define what a \"long fic\" is to them, and explore the advantages of writing longer stories, including building a dedicated fanbase. They also offer insights on chapter length, update frequency, and the possibility of revising past chapters. Lastly, they tackle challenges like writer's block and address @annaistryingAO3’s questions about character development and maintaining a balance in slow-burn romances within fanfiction. In terms of admin, we also wanted to let you know that until the end of the year, the podcast will be released on a monthly basis, instead of fortnightly. This is to ensure that it remains sustainable for us on top of our other “real life” responsibilities. This week, we mention: Books: Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella, Bridget Jones’s Diary by Helen Fielding, Normal People by Sally RooneyFandoms: Harry PotterFics: castles by pebblysand, In Search of Mythical Kings by copper_dust, Check the Spindle by copper_dust, Merry Men by copper_dust, The Seam Between by copper_dust, the fault in faulty manufacturing by pebblysand, children by pebblysand, Lilac Falls by copper_dust, toxicology by speechwriterTV: Peaky BlindersYour recommendations for this week are:Not a House or Even a Tent by rheaitis (The Charioteer)The Wilderness by speechwriter (HP)You can find us online at:The Fanfic Writer’s Craft: tumblr ; spotify ; ko-fiLani (@copper-dust): tumblr ; AO3Jo (@pebblysand): tumblr ; AO3","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/c3vTu1vxvj15Kk7UGvIdIKAIzQHFGRK1FHG5ie_5SzA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kYzZi/NGRmZTcyNWM0YTU5/ZjhkY2Y5M2JhYTEz/ODU1OS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
