S1E10. Multimedia in Fanfiction [Part 1] with @crazybutgood & @newsom (Or, Fooling the Security Cameras by Reading Fanfic At Work)

In this episode, @copper_dust (“Lani”) interviews two wonderful guests about the use and integration of multimedia in fanfiction, and storytelling in general. With @crazybutgood (“CBG”), she explores the presence of origami and paper art in fandom, and discusses CBG’s creations and inspirations, as well as her collaborations with other artists and writers. @newsom (“Ruby”) later joins to discuss her use of coding and AO3 workskins to integrate letters and papers to her fics, and, tangentially, the quirkiness of getting into fandom as an adult. We hope you enjoy this episode!  

This week, we mention: 

• @getawayfox’s amazing pie art
• Darklands by Ruby
• The Shoebox Project 
• The Thirteen Letters by dropdeaddream and WhatAreFears
• @La_Temperanza’s tutorials for AO3 coding
